We have stopped here quite a few times while on our travels between Indiana and Arkansas. The food has always been excellent. The service is above and beyond. It's dog friendly with a great outside patio. A great midway stop for us.

Ate lunch at Public House on a Saturday with a group of 6. We shared the Trout Fritters and Crab Rangoon Nachos to start. We ordered a Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich, the Pub Banh Mi Sandwich, a burger, the BBQ Pulled Pork Pizza, and the Hot Honey Pepperoni Pizza. The food is decent but not amazing. I don't think anyone is smoking the meat or making dough here. The beer is good and the place is nice, as is the patio, and the highway proximity. When we walked in I asked the hostess to make sure I got the check before the rest of my party walked in. By the time we sat down and the server came around all of my party was there so the whole point was me not asking in front of them. She either couldn't or wouldn't get that done for me because the check was brought to the opposite end of the table. All in all if you need to stop somewhere in this area it's probably one of the better choices.

This place is great! We brought a little blanket and water bowl for our dog, and the host brought us to a spot in the shade. We loved eating on the patio, especially the fact that it wasn't too crowded. Everyone was pretty spread out and there was lots of seating. You absolutely must order the gnocchi as an appetizer! We had no idea what to expect but it was soooo good. It was also pretty filling, so keep that in mind if you don't like to fill up on your appetizer. The fries were amazing too, which I feel is important to note, because sometimes fries are just "there" but don't add much to the meal. Not in this case - they were a nice, crispy, flavorful bonus. The inside looks like a cool place to hang out when the weather isn't as good. We live far away from here, otherwise we'd be here all the time!

Lovely atmosphere. The outside is set up with multiple tables and gardens for decor. There is a fountain and several games. The perfect place to chat with a group of friends and enjoy the weather. The waitress and was prompt and attentive. The food was excellent. I went with the pizza and it was wonderful. On the way leaving I saw the pizza oven they use. So neat to look at! I didn't partake in any drinks o I can't comment on them, but you should check this place out!

Stopped here on our way home from Springfield, Mo. The place is very big and open and has a chill vibe. They have a decent beer menu and some cocktails. They also have wine from St. James winery next door. The food menu has a good selection. I got the bison burger and my husband got the Nashville chicken sandwich. The bison burger was good as well as the Nashville sandwich. I didn't really like the hot sauce used on the chicken sandwich but my husband enjoyed it. The fries also have some good seasonings on them. Our waitress was friendly and would come to check on us often. It did take some time to get our food but we weren't waiting too long for it. Overall, good experience and not a bad place to stop to break up a long drive.

Large patio seating for a nice day! Dogs allowed in outside and indoor seatings. They brought out a water dish for our dog. Food is good and waitress was very attentive. Brewery tour has not started since after Covid, but St. James winery next door has wine tour.
