Public & General Restaurant is the kind of place that reminds you why dining out can still feel special, with a warm, effortlessly stylish atmosphere, thoughtful service, and food that’s both comforting and quietly inventive.

Fantastic food and craft cocktails! Stopped in on a Friday night. They were busy, but food and drinks came out quick. I ordered polenta bites and the chicken hoagie. My fiance got their fried green tomatoe sandwich.
Everything was fantastic, highly recommend everything. Dill fries were really good, but I think the best thing we are was the polenta. Crispy outside, creamy inside. Very good.
We are thinking of stopping again tomorrow night for take out

Found this tucked away in Gainesville Google Maps has a weird way of getting you there looks like there’s two outside patio seating did not feel very welcome coming in it’s dark in there it does smell good it was quiet not very many people there while we were visiting order at the bar they give you a number and you go have a seat you’re pretty much on your own after that they bring out the food which looks very nice and it did taste amazing including the mocktail.
My only complaint which is more of just a disappointment 13.00 for three tiny slices of green tomatoes layered on top of basically a salad the tomatoes were delicious I just wish there was more of them for that price and no salad with it.
yes I’ll be back to try more just won’t waste $ on the fried green tomato appetizer but definitely will get the dilll french fries again

The fried green tomato sandwich was huge and good. The fries are some of the best. You order at the bar, they have a water station to get your own water, and they bring your food to you in a basket. The place is a bit dark..not super clean.

The waitress was friendly and answered our questions about the menu. We ordered the special, fried green tomato sandwich with choice of tomato soup or salad. The sandwich, bread from a local bakery, was very good, as was the soup. The Caesar salad looked fresh, the dressing is made in house. However in my opinion it tasted too fishy. The waitress readily offered to replace it. The restaurant was clean. Bottom line, I will eat there again.

I wanted to skip my usual Zaxby’s Cobb Zalad so I tried Public & General. First thing first it smells so good in the restaurant! I thought they were serving pizza, but they don’t! I ordered their Artichoke Caesar salad & Soup of the Day: Tomato Basil with Grilled cheese! It was so delicious & fresh! Everything blend in just right! I don’t feel full, even though I am; the food is not heavy on your stomach. The waitress was such a doll, I think I asked her like 30 questions and she answered them all. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful, it feels very cozy. I will definitely be back again!

The fried tomato sandwich was good. I liked the goat cheese butter. The fries were not edible. Overly salty and hammered.

Public & General, the “P&G”, a Gastropub in Gainesville. Any beer enthusiast and foodie would dig this place. Amazing burger cooked perfectly medium rare, fried green tomatoes, Florida beers. Take a look at those great menu prices!

Unfortunately not a good experience. Food is flavorless, atmosphere dingy, service about 80% hostile, prices are completely unreasonable. It’s kind of a neat spot with cute door seating, and decent parking, so it’s a shame.

I ordered a burger all the way and fries. Sounds boring, let me tell you there was NOTHING boring about this meal, it was perfectly cooked (on the rare side) with thinly sliced lightly pickled cucumbers, a delicious sauce and all the toppings! Potentially the best burger in years! The fries were yummy and plentiful, more than enough to share! The 24 carrot gold adult beverage was spectacular! ❤️ Atmosphere was also delightful! We sat outside on the patio.
