Springvale Publick House - Steak with ff and chips - Pubs Near Me - Springvale, Maine

Stopped here for lunch. First timers. A great experience. I had the Cajun haddock sandwich that came with a side salad. The salad was full of good veggies. Fish was excellent. Lynn had the French Dip. She was unsuccessful at eating more than half. Delicious, flavor was great. And it was rare which is her favorite. What a nice surprise. Glad we found the Publik House read more

Publick House offers good food, fast and efficient service, friendly atmosphere for the entire family.

I've been doing business with this place since the year they opened and I can't possibly speak higher for everyone involved. It's a very pleasant place where the service goes above and beyond. The beer selection is excellent. The food is outstanding. Just an all around great place with really, nice clientele. I would suggest this place before any other place in the Sanford area. read more

The food was good but there were several issues that lowered my rating. The waitstaff initially were fine but then I noticed I was up charged for items that were odd. Mayonnaise on the burger: Extra $$ on an already expensive burger. Charged extra for chipotle sauce for the onion rings, which I can understand but when ordering it the waiter asked if I would like dipping sauce for them. I said sure, completely unaware that it's going to cost me. When I asked about these extra charges on my bill the waitstaff became rude, as if my just asking was unheard of. I don't mind paying but if they are items typically included by other restaurants let the customer be aware you're going to nickel and dime them to death while ordering. Condiments are typically free in restaurants that are not petty... and if you are going to charge 1. make the costs upfront, 2. Don't become rude when asked. Also the location/opening of the bathroom were in a not so optimal position, the sight and smell taking away from any atmosphere the restaurant could have. read more

My fiance took me here on my Birthday, got the fried chicken sandwich, was huge and delicious! Wish they had more of a selection or at least brought out some bread while we waited since we were hungry and took a good 45 minutes to get our food but service was friendly enough, probably go back for take out. read more

The best restaurant in the Sanford/Springvale area. The food does not cease to amaze, the beer ice always ice cold and the staff is the most attentive and friendly staff out of anywhere I've ever been. I highly recommend the fried pickles, French dip sandwich, and the haddock slaw wrap! The beer rotation always keeps up with the latest local and seasonal favorites, and you can try a flight for only $6! read more

I went here yesterday for the first time. Everyone was telling me how great it was so when friends from away wanted to go someplace new this seemed to be a logical choice. The food was great, the place was clean. I was sick as a dog with food poisoning. I'll never go back! read more

Pretty good food. Though, they took the one vegetarian option off their menu. Since I'm a vegetarian, I can only really get appetizers here.

We would like to have been able to review the food. However- we were told that "they do not put tables together" and our party of five could "squash" around a four top. But - if we could wait twenty minutes (the place was almost empty) then we could sit at a table that would accommodate five. The party of ten must have been seated by magical unicorns. This is the only way the tables could have gotten together. The other numerous empty four tops were clearly inhabited by ghosts visible only to the wait staff. Our party had to leave narnia in search of a magical establishment that could seat odd numbered parties and has the supernatural ability to push wooden tables together. We went to Backstreet and had a nice odd numbered person lunch. We wish future travelers better luck- or the courage to leave the weak behind so that they may dine in even numbers only. read more

Places like this are the reason that I use Yelp. I'm not familiar with the area, but we drove slightly out of our way to find the Springvale Publick House. When we got there, we were immediately glad that we did. The selection of beers on tap was nothing short of remarkable, and everyone was satisfied with their food. I look forward to going back when I'm in the area. read more

Such a great place, but if its busy you may have to wait a little bit. They have an awesome beer selection that rotates on draft and you can get a paddle with four samples for only $6.00! The service is killer here, with a friendly, attentive staff and amazing food. This place is a must if you're in the Sanford/Springvale area! Highly recommend the fried pickles, nachos, and haddock. read more

I have been here several times and always have had a great experience. The fried pickles are my favorite! I have tried the pulled pork sandwich, chicken pesto sandwich, and the French dip-they where all very good. Their beer list is great and the cocktails are made from scratch- lemon drop being my favorite. It is always packed every time I go and I take that as a good sign that the food and service is good. read more

We were looking for a place close to home for lunch and this popped up with a ton of 5 star ratings. Had to check it out for ourselves and everyone was right, a definite 5 star restaurant! Everything was perfect and the beer selection was phenomenal! We can't wait to go back! read more

See all

Cajun haddock is very tasty, the fries are always great, and the local draft beer selections change frequently. What more could you want? My wife and I also ate here Tuesday - we split the salmon BLT and the autumn salad. The BLT was definitely enough for two. The salad had a great Maine combination of roast squash cubes, squash seeds, and cranberry. This is definitely my favorite lunch place. I'm in Maine 3-4 weeks every year, and usually eat here twice every week. read more

Great food but is always busy and you have to wait and wait to get a table and not to many choices for vegetarians...

This review is based solely on their bar. We sat there for an hour or so on a Saturday night. The bartender did not do a good job. Very inattentive and no customer service. It was not crowded at all. I ordered a coffee with baileys and you could see through it, when I said this is not right she said yes it is and walked away. I didn't drink it (it tasted like hot water with baileys in it) and she never said I'll make you another one. It sat there til we left. Based on that I probably won't return. read more

My boyfriend and I go to this place quite often! I always get the spinach and artichoke dip because is absolutely delicious! Our food is always great and there's a decent beer selection too! We always have one of the same two waitresses (wish I could remember their names!) they are so attentive, friendly and great at their jobs. read more

By far our favorite place to go. Always a great beer selection on tap, friendly staff, and of course great food. They have the best onion petals and chipotle ranch dip around! read more

Springvale Publick House - Paddle at the Publick House - Pubs Near Me - Springvale, Maine

My first time here and it was so delicious! Very friendly and prompt staff. Great food. My first time trying banana cream pie, and it was to die for! I will definitely be back and bring my dad this next time! read more

This place advertises itself as a pub. No. This is no pub. The sweet potato chips we got, to start with, were akin to tree bark. The steak and the fish of the fish and chips were woefully bland. The sauce for the onion petals, while decent, could easily be replaced by a better selection from Burger King and their coleslaw could be outdone by KFC. This said, the star of both dishes was the sauces. No, about the idea that this is a pub. It really is not. At best, this is a restaurant, and I think Gordon Ramsey would have a field day with it. A bar and grill would be a more apt description. There is so much wasted space that it's laughable. For anyone coming to the Publick House in hopes of visiting the homey and comfortable atmosphere of a pub will be more than sorely disappointed. Sad to say that we will never be going back to this establishment. read more

My favorite pub in the area. Definitely needs a little update in how the interior looks. It's looked the same for years. But the food is great, the beer selection and cost is great, and the staff is super nice. I've been going here since they opened and I don't have any plans to stop. read more

We LOVE this restaurant. Food is always amazing and the staff is always so happy and helpful. Prices are very fair, atmosphere is phenomenal! Make sure you try their fries with Chipotle ranch sauce! read more

Met our son here for lunch after finding it on yelp and reading the reviews, well it was real good, food was well worth it and I will go again read more

The fried pickles, chicken tenders and Mac N Cheese are to die for!! Especially the Mac N Cheese. This is my favorite place to go to. The prices are decent, and the wait staff is polite and quick on their feet. Once in awhile the place looks a little dirty but the food and atmosphere is so well put together I have to rate 5 stars. read more

Just a quickie.. You feel like you're in a pub at the old port in Portland but you're in Springvale Maine. The pub food is good, plentiful, and reasonably priced. Decent service. We don't drink, but go there for the food. Plenty of seating too. This review sounds like I'm related or something... not so, just an older couple who recognize a good eating place. read more

Pub style food with a little twist added to some of there dishes that make them special. Plenty of beer to choose from on tap.

Everything I've tried on the menu has been amazing. Fair prices for above average portions. All of the staff I've dealt with have been super warm and welcoming and treat you more like you're family than a customer. Very well could be the new Cheers! The owners are super sweet people and heavily involved in the business, frequently socialize with the customers and community. One of the friendliest and best restaurants in southern maine! read more

I am happy to see that I wasn't the only one that received rude service. We were seated in the back room all by ourselves. There was a table open in the larger part but it was set for more than just the two of us. After waiting 45 minutes we started to get up and just ask for our tab when out of the blue, our meal arrived. Overcooked chicken tenders, cold French Fries and a Panini. We commented to the waitress who was very apologetic but she must have gone to a supervisor and told her were we upset. She came to our table and asked if everything was ok, we told her no and that we had been waiting in a segregated room for quite some time. She started giving us excuses and we asked her to stop and just let us eat. She started to take our plates away and my husband commented that we were not going to leave without eating since we had been waiting for so long. She again started with the excuses and we asked to please leave and let us eat. She then took our plates and asked us to leave......... there was an exit door in this segregated room and we I asked if it was ok to use this door, here comment was yes please.................. read more

I was surprised by how great this place was! I'm always on the lookout for local, fresh, american cuisine and most places come up short. As soon as I walked in you could tell this is a great spot. The bar area is warm and inviting and the dining area is casual but just upscale enough. My party ordered a bit of everything, fish and chips, burgers, appetizers and the steak special of the day. We were all impressed. Prices were very reasonable and the food was fresh and cooked well. read more

Probably the last time I'll visit Public House in Springvale. Having been in business myself since 1980, I have never been treated so poorly by any restranteur in my 65 years on God's green earth. I hope to convince the rest of my family to not return there after bowling on Thursday nights. That's 12 to 14 diners not in your restaurant for 30 weeks per year. I refuse to have anyone talk to me in the manner that your hostess or pub owner treated us this evening. You should reconsider closing half of your dining area on a busy night two hours before your venue actually closed. I will try to convince the other ten members of my family that we should not and will not be treated so rudely. Our dining out should not be a stressful event. read more

Favorite place to get food and beer in the Sanford / Springvale area. the pub steak with fries is killer and the roasted veggie salad with salmon on it is also super good. Consistently have a great local craft brew list goin on. read more

This is the shock to the system that Sanford/Springvale needs. As a recent college graduate I spend a lot of time looking for the nightlife and pub feel that I had been accustomed to for so long. Unfortunately moving home after my degree was mounted has left me only options to travel 45 minutes to find comparable atmosphere. This place although relatively new to the community has done a great job at that. $5-15 dollar pub food. Great Microbrews and Domestic on draft. Exceptional staff. It was packed on a Tuesday! I highly suggest it. read more

Great menu, but unfortunately my meal was just ok. Everything we had ordered was kind of bland. As others had mentioned, the service was very slow and could use improvement. Overall, I would try this location again. For the most part, people speak very highly of this restaurant. Maybe they were just having an off day. read more

Mug club is great, and the food is excellent. Tried the burger, fried pickles, tuna panini, and fries. All were very tasty. Would highly recommend. read more
