Love love love the service, food, and overall atmosphere! They have rotating seasonal options that include appetizers, main dishes, and cocktails. The crunchy French toast was definitely the best French toast I've had, which is saying a lot! Biscuits and gravy tasted delicious and homemade. read more

Public House Food + Drink - Crunchy French toast, biscuits and gravy - American Near Me - Monroe, Michigan

We had our first visit today and couldn't have had a better Mother's Day breakfast! It takes a lot for me to want to rave about a place like I'd rave about this one! The gluten free options were unlike any other place I've been and everything was soooo yummy! The service was wonderful too! Will definitely drive the 30 minutes to come back! read more

Public House Food + Drink - Gluten free French toast - American Near Me - Monroe, Michigan

My friend declared this to be the only nice restaurant in Monroe, and I can see why. This breakfast and brunch place offers elevated breakfast items in a relaxing environment with exceptional service. I don't have a breakfast routine during weekends but if I am out, I'll try to have something that I don't usually prepare at home. I will typically focus on benedicts and biscuits, tasty but complicated for me to make. I also order pancakes because, somehow, I cannot master such a simple recipe in my kitchen. No judging, please, I'm very picky about my pancakes and I never have buttermilk (or even milk) at home. Today, my friend ordered a stack of pancakes loaded with berries for our table of 3. Enough to enjoy but not too filling to prevent ordering another dish. My friend recommended the avocado toast or the chicken and waffles. I went with the latter: tender fried chicken tenders on small waffles. I loved the large pieces of chicken breast, crunchy and flavorful. The waffles were okay. I also ordered the potato hash as a side, which came highly recommended, for good reason. My friend ordered the avocado toast, which looked amazing, and inspired me to make a similar dish the following weekend. Service was fantastic. Since my friend is a regular, she knew everyone there and spent time catching up with them. read more

We had family visiting in town and Public house is one of the top spots recommended. We stopped in around 10 and we had a delicious brunch. You can tell the quality of the food is top-notch and the eggs are fresh. The breakfast potatoes are excellent, and we cannot wait to come back to try the sweet potato fries which we saw on many other plates. A food have no time at all to come out. The decor is very cute & looks recently updated. The bathrooms are maintained well. It's nice to look out on "Main st" with all of the windows. The owner was there and we shared our appreciation for this business. read more

Public House Food + Drink - Very good food. Excellent service. Very respectable restaurant. 5 stars. - American Near Me - Monroe, Michigan

Came to Monroe to go to the River Rasin Battle field. We headed to the Public House for breakfast and it was fantastic. They have a nice selection of seating for large parties or smaller groups. The breakfast menu has a wide array of choices from eggs Benedict, to cheesy fried grits and chicken and waffles. Our party had the southwest hash, shrimp and grits, chicken and waffles, chicken strips and fries (I know), grilled cheese, and french toast. It was a fantastic breakfast and I highly recommend this spot! Our server was fantastic! Water was never empty and coffee was always warm. She was ready with boxes before we even asked. Great experience! read more

Came here based on Yelp reviews. It did not disappoint. Very good comfort food at a fair price. The place was packed so I sat at the bar. Despite being crazy busy, there was no delay in attention from the bartender. Despite juggling drink orders and bar customers, my order was taken quickly. This is quite obviously a local favorite, and I see why. read more

I was looking online for somewhere to eat. I seen a review saying this was the best food in Monroe- and I have to say that usually I'm scared to try new places, but I went out on a limb today and visited. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted and promptly sat. My server came right up to me and was super super friendly recommending items and telling me her favorites and other customers. The wait time for my meal in my appetizer was appropriate and the level of customer care was amazing. Rarely do you ever go anywhere and feel like you actually matter to the staff! The food was absolutely amazing and tasted super clean. I will be coming back! Also, my server was faith , she made my entire experience memorable! Thanks so much guys and good job read more

I feel for the employees working here. During my visit, it was extremely hot inside, and it didn't seem like there was adequate air conditioning or ventilation. No one should have to work in those conditions for an entire shift. The staff still did their best despite the heat, but I hope management addresses this issue as soon as possible for both the employees read more

In town for a dog show. Never had been ti Monroe so a quick search on yelp was necessary to point us in the right direction (thanks fellow elites!). Quiet music played. The overhead lighting was soft with almost a candle lit feel. The back wall is planked in pecan and their side wall by kitchen is a galvanized steel accent wall so Id say its a bit of a rustic feel. The hostess let us pick where we wanted to sit. (Always nice) This time we chose perfectly. A cozy little round table in the corner that had the best server possible- Lynnell! I ordered the 1/2 portion of the beet n carrot salad. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. (Yes, to the point it needed to be shouted and all caps). It was huge. I shudder to think what a full size was. Then I got the chicken avocado sandwich. That was very good. I would get that again. Grilled chicken (generous portion) with lettuce, tomato, bacon and avocado. It was very flavorful but so large so I took half home. (Thats actually a pro too!) My husband got a cuban sandwich that Lynnell suggested. I see why that is popular. Finally a place that sells a cuban that looks and tastes like a real cuban. My hubs was nice enough to let me take a bite and when we return to Public House, I might just order that. Delicious. Tip: Save room for the key lime pie. That was very good. We also tried the banana cake. It was very good, but the pie is the winner. So, if you're on the fence on where to go.... I would choose this place. It really was excellent on aesthetics, service, menu variety, cleanliness, speed of food delivery and the quality of the food was outstanding. Parking easy as they have their own lot. I would recommend asking for Lynnell. She really adds to the entire trip in with her service and personality. You wont be disappointed. It deserves more than five stars. read more

Public House Food + Drink - Very filling food but the Mac and Cheese is very cheesy - American Near Me - Monroe, Michigan

Upon walking in, I've not walked in these front doors in years. It's the old Big Boy's restaurant establishment. And I gotta be honest. This place is well re-done. My wife and I ordered the seasonal drink, Winter Margaritas. Very tasty with the salt rims. I ordered salmon meal with sweet potato side. & my wife order Avocado Chicken sandwich with Mac'n Cheese side. I also ordered an old fashion drink as well. Both of us had ice water also. The meals were hot and tasty and the drinks were good too. We ordered the Buckeye pie desert with ice cream. It was tastey. We were waited on by Lucy. She was awesome. We'll come back again. read more

OMG, where do I even start with this hidden gem? From the moment I stepped into this adorable spot, I felt like I was visiting a cozy farm-to-table fairy tale. The place is so cute--think vintage farm decor meets quirky art, with a warm, inviting vibe that instantly makes you want to settle in for a long, delicious stay. What really stole my heart (and my taste buds) are the absolutely unique dishes that you won't find anywhere else. They've got some seriously creative takes on comfort classics--like their Mac & Cheese. While I try not to consume lots of meat, and only have it every now and then, I took a chance on the unique grass fed local burger (FROM THE FARM RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD THAT TAKES CARE OF THEIR ANIMALS LOVE NON-ABUSE SUPPORT) with blackberries, bacon, and cream cheese. AMAZING. Every bite feels like a love letter to the local community, and I love knowing that the ingredients are coming from people who truly care about quality. Plus, the manager is the sweetest--always popping by to ask how everything is, genuinely interested and making you feel like family. Honestly, this place is a delightful, delicious, and utterly charming culinary adventure. Can't wait to go back and try more of their amazing, special dishes. If you're into supporting local, loving good food, and having a super cute dining experience, this is your new favorite spot. Love it! read more

The restaurant was clean and beautiful love the ambiance. The food was DELICIOUS! ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLACES.

The service was great as we got our food and drinks very quickly. I ordered the steak and fries. I'm both gluten and dairy free so I checked with the waitress to ensure they could make my meal properly. There was no problem thankful. I was never asked about my steak cooking done ness. It came out very well done and wasn't that great. I really enjoyed the fries. The margarita I ordered was just meh. Everyone else's food at my table looked amazing. I assume that I just ordered the wrong thing? If I am back in the area I will be sure to stop in again and grab something else to eat read more

Terrible experience way over priced terrible mixed drinks and awful service, food tasted okay but the BLT I had was so filled with thick cut bacon that it ripped the top of my mouth with every bit definitely do not recommend this to anyone! Save your money for a better restaurant read more

What a fantastic discovery! We're neighbors from the north (Wyandotte) who were in Monroe for something else and stumbled upon Public House. Be assured we will now make the trip back specifically to eat here! Food was top-notch - Asian cauliflower with sesame seeds, green onion, asian bbq sauce over brown rice and pecan encrusted chicken with pear chutney were soooo good and ordered on the advice of our waitress Lucie who was super! There is a chef with spot-on taste in that kitchen! Each bite elicited yums from us! Not to mention the chocolate lava cake for dessert! Hope you stay in business forever...if we lived in Monroe we would be here every day ! read more

The ambiance gives a rustic feel and I love the style and look. The service was great everyone was nice starting with the host and our server was great. The food I will start with what we didn't like my guest didn't like his steak he said it tasted good but it was too tough even though it was medium cook. He couldn't cut it and then he said it was so tough to chew, the manager did take it off the bill for us. We also tried the block cheese grits I guess it's fried cheese blocked stuffed with grits - it would have been okay but it needs more salt or pepper for me and my guest liking. The chicken was very tough and I couldn't really enjoy it but it did have a good taste. The potatoes were great, so was BLT and waffle was perfect. The overall experience was great and we really enjoyed the experience read more

Stopped in for breakfast while staying at Sterling State Park. Omelets were amazing. Kids loved the pancakes. Great breakfast spot!

Yipeeeee!! You Know what I love? When I ask a server if they have gluten-free options and they say " it would be easier for me to tell you which ones we can't do gluten-free!". There were like literally four things on the entire menu they couldn't make gluten-free! And yes yes yes I had chicken and waffles and deep fried grits! Off the hook! The server was amazing and We never had to ask her for Anything. She was on top of everything! My hubs ordered a breakfast flatbread that came with yes you guessed it and gravy to dip the flatbread in. It just doesn't get any better than this!!! Good job y'all!!! read more
