We were down by Lake Tillery on a job so this was within a reasonable distance. Love the layout and decor in the restaurant. Oh, we picked a shareable for the table and spinach artichoke dip, which was a good choice to split between three people. We still have plenty of our workday left so I opted to go with the grilled salmon and a rather unique side in Mexican street corn.. for my second side I decided to add a house salad with homemade ranch dressing. The salad was a large portion to start with in the flavor of the Mexican corn in the salmon went well together. I made a great choice. The Mexican corn was three short corn on the cobs in a long dish with sauce on top of the corn. Public house is definitely the place to be in Albert mall for lunch dinner or a private event.

Being new to the area, we wanted to try out this place that always seemed to have a crowd in the…read morelobby. We went to Five Points Public house for a weekday lunch and only had to wait about 15 minutes to be seated. The food was good, the interior architecture is nice to look at, and we will be back. The restaurant is a mix of booths and tables with chairs. You can tell the building is old, but had been tastefully worked into a restaurant by the age on the exposed brick within. The whole front of the restaurant faces one of the main roads for downtown, and has large windows that bring in tons of natural light. This place is good for a date night, a group gathering, or anything in between. There's even some bar seating if that's your thing. Our table got the French dip and a make-your-own burger. The French dip was easily shared by my little and me, as the portion size was large. The build-your-own-burger comes exactly as you want it, cooked to your temperature preference, but I will say the patty could have had more seasoning on it. The onion rings are amazing, and the onion adheres perfectly to the batter. One thing I hope to be able to use in the future is the Pontiac Room, which is their second story event space. They have a nice sign that gives details about the space, and I truly believe it would be good for wedding receptions, large parties, or large group gatherings. I don't know if there is an elevator to this space, so you'd need to check on that should your group have mobility concerns. Overall, this is a place that we will bring the whole crew to in the future.

Everyone was having to pull out their phone flashlight to read the menus so I would just suggest maybe table lighting if they want to keep the low lights throughout. Ok on to the food... we had the rockafella oysters which were pretty tasty for an appetizer. And I had the catch of the day which was grouper over cheddar grits and shrimp etoufee. The food was well flavored and not too heavy. We also shared the peanut butter pie for dessert which we enjoyed. The staff was friendly and the drinks are strong. So we will likely return.

Nice atmosphere and friendly service. Salmon was good, but might have been better with a simple…read morerecipe of salt and pepper. Had a bbq flavor of sorts that was probably a bit overwhelming for the salmon. Cheese grits on the side were good. Daughter had the filet mignon which she said was perfectly cooked, though it could have used a bit more seasoning. Husband had the ribeye and unfortunately he was disappointed with the lack of flavor. The restaurant obviously aims to please and we didn't complain, just a little more seasoning and this would have been a five star rating. Also a little pricey.

No Michelin stars here. BUT, authentic local food cooked perfectly and tastes like it was 1960's, at least in my mind. I ordered the Swiss and grilled onion burger. Nothing fancy. Side of macaroni salad. Verdict? Excellent. Hard sear on a genuine ground beef patty, grilled onions, Swiss cheese, with a slightly toasted bun. Brioche? Potato? Sourdough? Nope. Simply old school white bun with a properly grilled burger just begging to be eaten. Wonderful. Couldn't be better. Topping off our lunch we ordered a Coconut custard pie to go. OMG. This is a diner that genuinely bakes homemade pies with a restaurant on the side! Has my "Give 'em a Whirl" meter drooling over the pie display asking for seconds. Support local. Go here.

And after about 45 minutes. We finally had our drinks. While we were ordering the waitress just gave attitude looks to one in our party because they were asking for a configuration of wings that they did not do. So instead of just saying "the policy is this way" she just got everyone confused. We had asked for some house chips and that they not be cooked too crispy. After a while she brought them back to us, two pans- one crispy and one almost raw, floating in grease and said "This is the best we can do" with attitude. We couldn't eat this and had had had it with this waitress because of the attitude and also because people who were seated after us by this point were already eating and about to leave and we just got our chips. So we took the chips to the bar to show the person up there and ask to speak with a manager. The manager fill in came to our table, he was a cook but was filling in because the manager was not there. As I was trying to explain it to him, she came up, butted in, was arguing with me, the customer, about what had happened. I had began very calmly explaining to this guy our experience but when she came in with MORE attitude, I had to remind her to check herself. She was way over the line inappropriately talking to a customer the way she was. I mean yall, look at these chips in the pic- who would eat this? At this point we'd herb there way over an hour AND HALF and still NO WINGS. We decided to just go pay for those floppy raw potatoes and our drinks and leave. I won't be back and if you guys get this Abby (I think- heavyset, dark haired) waitress that says she's been there longer than everyone else, my advice is to change tables.
