Popped in on Thanksgiving and were treated to a fantastic experience. Oooh, that Black Manhattan that they make is north of superb. Excellent service, of course, also. Very fun entrance door. You’ll see. 😉

About the restaurant
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

Service and food excellent as always ! Public house is always our go-to for something special. We had a party of six. Pot roast, salmon, quinoa salad, pimento cheese/pickles, Creme brûlée and cheesecake. Not a bite left.

Delicious! The flavors were amazing. Loved the crab special with the most amazing sauce. Order the golden beets for a fresh and light side. The strip with chimichurri was fantastic as well. Highly recommend!

I would note that the staff is excellent, which is probably the best thing Hennen's has to offer. There is no endless swarm of managers at Hennen's, as their waiters and waitresses know precisely what they are doing at all times. Essentially, whoever is training staff here might deserve a gold star. The food was delicious, yet I was slightly disappointed with the size of the Flounder serving, but it was still tasty. There is also a slight caution to the end of the NY Strip cuts as they can have an overwhelming flavor in those pieces of fat, which could catch people off guard.

About the restaurant
The Ruth’s Chris tradition of custom-aged, USDA prime steaks, served with the signature sizzle and legendary hospitality, thrives in Chattanooga. Start your unforgettable dining experience with the signature Shrimp Remoulade, featuring chilled jumbo shrimp and a classic Creole house-made dressing. For your entree, indulge in an extraordinary cut of steak such as the tender, juicy Filet or a classic New York Strip. If it’s seafood you fancy, indulge in a fresh Maine lobster. Unwind with a selection from the award-winning wine list and enjoy the warm and inviting dining room atmosphere, and you’ll quickly be reminded why the Ruth’s Chris brand is synonymous with refined taste, exceptional service, and top notch cuisine.

Very good! They work with the hotel to give you credits and a nice discount if you book a room. The food was great, the vibe was very warm and inviting, drinks strong, and staff helpful. I recommend you eat there at least once during your stay.
