The Public House

Public House catered an amazing lunch for a birthday party for us! Chef Kristi was amazing to work with and made it so easy! Food was amazing, very affordable, loved by ages 2-70 and we even had leftovers. Highly recommend. Not our first catering experience and definitely not our last!

The servers were all so happy kind, helpful, and attentive with fantastic attitudes! We went when they were serving Valentine's specials. Two of us had scallops over cauliflower puree with broccolini, one had the tenderloin special, and our fourth guest had the chicken salad wrap (I failed to ask her how that was). My scallop special was delicious! My husband's steak was done to perfection and very tender.
We had a table right by the door on a cold and windy night so when the door opened, a cold draft came in but there was some blower over the door to minimize it and we weren't miserable.

The regular menu has interesting appetizers along with the usual apps, sandwiches, salads, and wraps; some really unique menu options and of course a full bar.

Ripon has had an incredible growth of excellent, must-try restaurants over the past few years. Do NOT overlook The Public House. Best smash burgers I’ve ever had. But the menu has so much more. Something for everyone. Dinners to sandwiches to unbelievable salads. Great bar. Genuinely nice owners who are working every day to make something special. Everybody we have taken there have always become repeat customers. Word of caution: you have to check the specials posted on Facebook. You will be amazed at the variety of very special offerings created by a great chef. Don’t miss the desert specials. You owe this to yourselves.

Ps: I have yet to try the Sunday Reggae Brunch. Looks unbelievable.

We live an hour away and wanted to check out Dickens of a Christmas. The Public House was packed and it was a litle chaotic with all of the people, but all of the staff there patient and didn't even seem the slightest bit flustered and still managed to provide great service. We had a great experience and the food was great, too!

Just came here with my kids and have to say the staff, environment, and food were amazing! I would recommend to anyone and will be going back again! I loved the fresh mozzarella roasted tomato pesto chicken sandwich. 🥰
