Several years ago, I decided that my future in the restaurant business would most likely not remain in the realm of fine dining and gourmands, but would rather lean towards the style of restaurant that I found myself frequenting most often - places that provided consistency and quality at a price that was fair for the quality of the food and experience. Public House plays to the comforts of good, solid food, while applying the principles of premium food products to a more casual setting. You will find all the fish is delivered from Foley’s in Boston, high quality steaks and a rotating selection of vegetable sides that are true to the region and season. You’ll also find a really good hamburger and fish sandwich, along with fun snacks and small plates that pair well with cocktails, beer and wine. Welcome,Nathan Lindley

    We went to dinner with friends and everything was amazing! We had cocktails first , espresso martini was smooth and delicious. We had appetizers of pimento cheese, fried pickles, cornbread and deviled eggs. All were fantastic. Then for entrees we had seared scallops, Parmesan cheese grits, pot roast , and fried chicken. The service was great. Our waitress was friendly and accurate. We had a wonderful meal and good times with friends. We will definitely be back.

    Our experience at Hennen’s was top notch. This was our first time visiting the restaurant as we wanted to do something different for our anniversary and we were not disappointed. Our waitress Dana was very attentive without being overbearing. The food came out perfect and was delicious. My was got the scallops and I got a 3 piece fish special which included mahi mahi, salmon and haddock. I like a little spice so I should have asked for a little horseradish but that’s just me. We hope to visit again soon!
