Excellent salad bar and surf and turf at a reasonable price. We had to request a change of wait staff at the beginning of the meal since we were ignored for a larger party for nearly 15 minutes and when confronted the waiter told me “to be civil.” Disgraceful behavior towards a guest but a new waitress took right over immediately and the service from there was flawless. The restaurant put our appetizer on the house as a gesture of good will and we appreciated that.

Wonderful fresh salad bar as a side or for dinner and great steaks and barbeque dishes. Fish and pasta dishes tend to have cream sauces if that's your preference.

My daughter and I were traveling together and the Publyk House was recommended by several different folks. I think we must have hit it on an “off” night. It was packed, and the service was not good. Our server had more tables than seemed possible to handle, and simply was not able to keep up. Our drinks were empty most of the time, she offered bread and didn’t bring it (after we asked a couple of times), and we were generally ignored unless we flagged her down for something…and even then it was a 10 minute wait for a refill on a soda. The food was hot and fresh. I ordered fish and chips, and it really didn’t have much flavor. After 45 minutes and 3 requests, we finally got the bread that they are known for, and it was fantastic. But the rest of the experience was sort of mediocre. We had a reservation.

We asked for a view. There were 5 of us. They gave us our own little private room. It was wonderful!!! Everyone enjoyed their meal. The salad bar was delicious and had a great variety of offerings. Our waitress was very efficient, professional and thoughtful.
