Additional Information
The group I had dinner with almost slept on the fries, but I ordered some for the table and they were a hit. "These are the... best fries I've ever eaten" was said immediately after eating the first one by my partner. The pork was so incrediblyflavorful. I can't wait to return and dive into more of the menu. The only miss for the night was the dessert, with themarshmallow having too much of an anise flavor for me. I'm not taking a star away for dessert because this was just my personalpreference for not liking that black licorice flavor, it was still a high quality dish. Read more
Our first visit back to the Publican since we moved back to town. It has been 10 years and our past visits were in the evening.... It was good but our mistake for not checking the Brunch menu prior to this visit. We expected more meat options and a slightlylarger selection in general. Will we save future visits for evenings.

The menu does change but you will not be disappointed. The atmosphere is pretty cool with the different tables set up. We... stopped by for Saturday brunch and had a hard time deciding what to eat as everything sounded great. Settled for their versionof a Benedict and it hit the spot. I would suggest getting the breakfast sausage if it's still on the menu as it was not what Iwas expected but man was it tasty. Now I just need to get back to try all the oysters they have. Read more
Brunch review: As a disclaimer, I have eaten at The Publican a few times over the years (mostly brunch) and remember loving it.... This time was good but a notch lower than what I recall. The burger was decent - but given my expectations, it was a slight letdown. The beef was a little dry (I went with the server-recommended temp) and the abundance of sauce likely served tocompensate, which kinda worked but also made it really messy. The sausage dish was better, with tender meat and unique flavoroverall. Crispy potatoes were delicious but some were big and not so crispy in the middle. They also make a great bloody mary. Iknow this reads like a 3-star review but I'm honestly just over critical bc of my expectations - the food really is good. Read more

The Publican is a really fun experience, especially if you do the chef’s menu and let them feed the table accordingly. We were... able to try a wide variety of dishes, including some we never would’ve thought to order and really enjoyed them all! Theporchetta was my personal favorite but every dish is exploding with flavor. We were able to sit in one of the booths with thedoors which creates a fun atmosphere. The atmosphere is possibly even a better than than the food! Read more
