Great atmosphere! The restaurant was packed. The Caesar salad was very much a surprise as it was one of the best I’ve had in a casual restaurant-highly recommend. Smash burger was yummy. Delicious Prosecco accompanied my meal. I love the place. Looking forward to the expansion. The owner has worked tirelessly to be “more” than a restaurant owner. He is so supportive of his hometown community-a man for others.

We always enjoy our time at the Publick House. We start with the Happy Hour (4-7) at the bar, then sit in the dining room for dinner. The Tuesday night 2-4-1 entrees are an amazing deal, and delicious. Always great, friendly service. Highly recommend!

Almond is the perfect, cozy, refuge during the late fall and winter nights. The ambience is cozy and welcoming. The staff is always kind and hard working. We love the various specials Almond has, such as the Tuesday beer and burger night. We are lucky to have it as a neighborhood spot.

Neighborhood gem - lots of locals (we were not) and reminded me of the taverns/bars of the 70's/80's. We felt very comfortable there.
