Came for Friday lunch - after some initial confusion with the menus (server gave us the brunch menus which were only available for Saturday) and re-viewing the dinner menu, I got the chicken verde tacos. The portion was very generous with the large chunks of chicken meat and creamy guacamole. I'd love to come again on a weekend for brunch, as their menu options looked delicious (and some even super indulgent)! read more

Publicans - Chicken Verde Tacos (3) - Burgers Near Me - Manhasset, New York

Very nice local bar/restaurant with a great weekday 4-6pm happy hour offering. Nice selection of drinks, bar bites and all day menu. Very spacious with courteous staff. Only remark is having a two year old running around the bar area throughout my time there. Not sure of the rules and regulations but im almost certain a toddler shouldn't be in the bar/happy hour area. Maybe just me, maybe it's ignorance on parents. read more

Good menu and portions. Food is as expected for a pub. Good overall in price, quality and portions were generous. Say in back area where kids are welcomed. Friendly staff, it was very crowded on a Friday night therefore the service was a little slow. read more

Food was delicious. We had one of their flatbreads with vodka sauce and it was amazing. Nice drink selection and i love that they offer mocktails. The service was friendly and efficient. Really pretty atmosphere. read more

Casual local bar with great food. I've dined for both brunch and dinner, both times it was a good experience. Reservations not needed Waitress was friendly and attentive. Large portions, everything was delicious. For dinner we went to watch a game and ordered every appetizer on the menu! My recent visit was for brunch Salads are HUGE Chicken and waffle slider wasn't slider size, it was a sandwich cut into 2 - regardless it was delicious, served with fries My cousins had the burger which is served with an egg on a everything bagel, they loved it Shrimp and grits were very tasty, needed more grits Cinnabon dessert was amazing. Looked just like the picture on the virtual menu read more

Excellent service, thank you Kaiser for going above and beyond to make our lunch fantastic! Best recommendation is the margarita! Great service! Great food! Great drinks! We highly recommend publicans! read more

We always enjoy Publicans when we visit our daughter and her family in Manhasset. But this time, I was a little disappointed with something that I ordered. Although they were delicious, I don't think that the chicken tenders should be called "boneless wings." They were not wings in any form. read more

Always hear about this place from my mother in law/sister in law and while in the area I was like lets go! Burger was delicious, boy loved his food and a really cool looking place. I'd definitely come back here. I can totally see why it's so loved by other family. Casual place too which was good considering we came from the americana and just didn't want to fancy. Service was great also. I really need to try the truffle burger next time. read more

This place rocks! We had the general tso's cauliflower and it was delicious. The general manager, Kaiser, recommended a yummy beer (beach bum) so I got it and it was delicious. He took extra care on our table and it was a great experience. I would definitely come back read more

So yummy and such a great ambiance, good to go with friends and the service is excellent. Would return to try more

My first time coming here as I was visiting in from LA. I liked the ambience and overall aesthetic Publicans but was a bit taken back why my friend brought me here because she kept saying the food and service was not that great, so I didn't say anything (I should have though) when she suggested it for dinner. I ordered a local beer which was ok, in fact it reminded me of a Corona beer but I had no issues with the server/service. My friend ordered nachos, which was basic tortilla chips with ground beef, some melted cheese, and a few Serrano chiles on top. Basic but lacked flavor on the meat and could have used more toppings. I ordered the chicken meatball sliders and they were good! An order of 3, with bbq sauce and a little tiny amount of slaw. Probably could have used more slaw but I did enjoy the taste of the meatball. My friends BF ordered a steak that came with a tiny amount of broccoli and some potato wedges. I tried a wedge and it was ok but he sent back his dish and one of the sliders because it had a hair in it. The restaurant was nice enough to take it off the tab and then we left. If I lived in the area, I'd have given them a second chance just to try other things off the menu because I really liked the ambience of Publicans but sadly I don't think I'll make it back to the Manhasset area anytime soon. read more

Publicans - Beer was just ok. - Burgers Near Me - Manhasset, New York

I had a bad experience here. They charged $4 for a fountain soda that was mostly ice and another $4 for a refill without saying anything about no refills. When i said something the manager was rude and dismissive. Very unprofessional and inhospitable for a guy working in the hospitality industry. $8 for 30 cents of fountain soda is outrageous. However, being rude and dismissive about it is enough to never go back. And oh yea. The service is weak and the Brussels sprouts were over cooked. read more

I really like Publicans decor. Great place to watch a game. There are plenty TV's around and on a Saturday afternoon there all in different college football and NBA games. The food is pretty good. Burgers were made well and I had one on a pretzel bun that was very tasty. Their cauliflower general Tsos us DELICIOUS. Hands down the best thing I had. The service left a bit to be desired. My friend and I arrived separately and it took a long time for him to be acknowledged and then seated while I waited to be acknowledged when I walked in and I never was. We also noticed water was brought to the tables around us while we were never asked if we wanted any. Small things to some, but can make a big difference when it comes to repeat customers. read more

- multiple TVs available to watch your favorite game - bottomless brunch for 1.5 hours FTW! - large and spacious - bathroom is tiny - service was alright - decent selection of beers - donut pancakes were good strawberries were really fresh - loved the bagel burger - the publicans burger with pretzel croissant was better - kind of stingy with the fries I could have used more - general tso cauliflower was really tasty read more

Way too expensive; who taxes a beer ? Average service; pompous wait staff. Food is good ; great ambience but the prices don't watch the experience. Not a local hangout place for sure. Should be located where expense accounts are the norm. read more

Food and service was good. Went to watch afternoon ballgame with a friend. Kind of empty

The brunch experience here is so fun on the weekend. If you order any entree, you get a complimentary Mimosa, Prosecco, or a Bloody Mary with it. There's even a bottomless brunch feature for a few bucks more and it's good for an hour and a half. We were watching a March Madness game on the TV as we were sitting in view of the bar. Lots of top shelf drinks I might add. And back to those drinks, they pour heavy and generously so it hits ya. Bloody Mary, Virgin or not, just very peppery. And it has a kick that will knock your taste buds for sure. Food from the Brunch Menu: - Shrimp and Grits with chorizo, has a really reddish color this dish and it's very flavorful. Hubby liked it and attacked the shrimp first, tails on BTW. - Kiddo enjoyed the Breakfast Nachos. He saw my photo from my first visit and had to order the same. It was ginormous. Even with three of us sampling, we couldn't finish and wrapped it to go. It was loaded with cheese, scrambled eggs, pico and guacamole. Delicious. Guilty pleasure. - Donut French Toast, my other kiddo enjoyed it. Comes with fresh sliced strawberries (we asked for it on the side though) and topped with powered sugar. It looked like a French toast bagel by design but totally tasted like a donut. Sweet and delicious. Fun food but I don't think I'd order it again. It's a sweet tooth kind of dish and more for the kids. Great portion though. - Salted Croissant burger with fried egg (sunny up) and a side of fries was my choice this visit. The salted croissant was amazing as I've never had one before. I enjoyed the flavors meshed together. The bacon and runny egg with melted cheese, burger patty medium rare, hit the spot. I enjoyed every bite of this sinful brunch burger. What a treat. Coffee is good and they were good about refilling it when we asked. Service was a little slow but they were quite busy as the bar dining area was full, back room/private room was occupied as well (private party) and a few main dining tables open but otherwise, Saturday Brunch at 1:30pm, it was busy! Parking lot in the back is shared by all the businesses on the block so do not be alarmed if it's full. We parked on the side street but do read the signs, there were quite a few rules and times noted on when/where to park. Solid spot for bar grub and drinks. Great food and come if you're not in a hurry. read more

Stopped here on a very busy Wednesday night. I felt a little bit out of place as I was here alone; everybody was part of a group as I sat quietly at the bar a few people knocked into me accidentally and then surprisingly looked at me as if I did something wrong. Odd vibe. Great bartender; the house Publicans brew was truly amazing, I really enjoyed it. I also had a pretzel which was very good. Thanks Publicans. read more

That brunch burger is something else. Runny egg and cheese sauce, mmmmm. What a perfect way to start the day! The chicken waffle sliders were another solid choice, perfectly fried and juicy piece of chicken. I suggest adding some hot sauce along with the maple syrup, really takes it up a notch. read more

Pros: The food is good. The interior is nice. The bill was correct -- no 20% tips included in the Cons: The service is slow. (and we never got the hot water that we asked for) The entree doesn't include a side -- sold separately. read more

the place misses the boat. Low quality food. with todays restaurants this place does not deliver. overall bad concept and does not deliver a good experience for diners. Old Publicans was much better and that is not saying much! read more

One of the nicer pubs around. Grand selection of craft beers on tap. Family friendly with a grown up vibe. Delicious burgers. Turkey burgers are usually mushy (just slap softer meat) but theirs was nicely carmelized with interesting toppings. Service was pleasant and attentive. You'd think A Saturday Night would be chaos but they kept it moving without feeling rushed. read more

I really like the atmosphere in the restaurant. Has a rustic feel to the place. In Manhasset, there aren't many food options. This definitely has to be one of the best options in Manhasset! The service was good, but what really sets this place apart from the competition is it's general tso's cauliflower. It's a vegan substitute for general tso's chicken. I love it. It is perfectly crisp and the sauce they use is heavenly. If vegan food was always like this I think the transition wouldn't be difficult at all! The Bavarian pretzel was fine, but definitely some room for improvement. The main thing being that the pretzel was very hard when eating. Taste wise, it was great! But struggling to break and chew it was a bit of a letdown. The mustard that came with it was great though! Otherwise, I would definitely come back for the cauliflower. I'd love to give the pretzel another try in a few weeks to see if they've made any improvements. read more

I just moved to the area and this is our new go to spot! One day I went for brunch and the French toast was lovely. It was soft with just the right amount of syrup and plenty of strawberries. Another time I went with my boyfriend and we got the wagyu meatballs and they were to DIE FOR! They just melt in your mouth and they didn't feel heavy. Hands down would recommend again. The burger I got was also delicious with a side of perfectly crisp French fries. I promise we'll be back soon! read more

We went to revisit where my husband worked in high school and to remember the people he knew from there. Sadly his food was served burned. There was barely any meat on the Philly cheesesteak and the bun was charred. The waitress obviously knew and did nothing to correct the issue. We just ate what we could and got out of there. It took a long time to get served and we were really disappointed. It doesn't appear that we will be revisiting soon. read more

We ordered the cauliflour, publican burger and kobe hot dog. The cauliflour looked like orange chicken but wasn't and it tasted pretty good. The publican burger had a big patty and the bun was toasted just right, the fries were a little thicker then most but I like it like that. The hot dog was different then most and was toped with their special sauce. pleasant server all good experince coming back for suuure !!!! read more

I've been to this spot prior to them changing ownership, always though it was just mediocre. Came a few weeks ago during COVID and was pleasantly surprised. Their whole menu has changed! I got the rose sangria, which was light but also a huge serving! We decided to get a bunch of small plates to share. We got the Wagyu Beef Meatballs, BBQ Bao Buns, Guacamole and the Carne Asada tacos. The buns and the tacos were way too salty in my opinion. The beef meatballs were definitely my favorite; flavorful and juicy. You can't ever go wrong with guac! They're generally pretty abundant on tables all the times I've been, so I don't think a reservation is necessary. The waitresses are cheerful and make the experience! read more

Ordered the wedge salad with steak. The steal option is not on the menu. The waiter accommodated and I can't even begin to describe how good the steak was. I felt like it was filet mignon. Most enjoyable dinner I've had in a while. My wife had the shrimp tacos which she raved about. We will definitely return. read more

I've been here once before the pandemic and I had a good meal then too. This time I went for Saturday brunch and there were some people enjoying a meal with their families.

I ate at this place two times and it was alright. I enjoyed my burger and the pasta was above average, but nothing crazy.

This place is the biggest disappointment in a long time. Came in at 1:10pm on Sunday, May 17th and the place had 2 booths full and one table occupied in the back. Definitely didn't look busy and servers didn't look overwhelmed. One of the servers told us to seat wherever we want. We picked the booth right across the middle of the bar. No communication from bartender or any of 2 servers or a busboy for over 15mins. Then server came over to us after 15mins and said to us: I will be with you in few mins. I mean we were sitting for 15mins and no one realized that we might need to order a drink and food. I just got up and left. This business doesn't need our money, doesn't care about us so I have to leave this bad review to let management/ owners know that they should pay more attention during the "slow times". read more

I'm writing this because I went there and the female bartender had a really nasty attitude. The male bartender on the other hand is very attentive and courteous so I would order from him. The place has cute decor and a lovely vibe but sorry, attitudes are a no. Also, when we were seated I must say the waitresses were SO nice and sweet. P.S. great cocktails! read more
