Food was Great, fast, and inviting.
Seriously, didn’t know what to expect, lots of hype on Socials. It was perfect! Try the different things, explore the drink menu(I loved the vodka/lemon/lavendar/soda). The ambiance is family friendly. I TRUELY enjoyed reading the books that came along with the check. Very Eclectic. Can’t wait to go back when’s it’s warm to enjoy the patio and live music!

We had a fantastic experience at Public! My wife was craving something bold and packed with flavor, and the Tri Grind Burger was exactly what the doctor ordered. The burger was absolutely amazing—juicy, perfectly cooked, and layered with rich, savory flavors in every bite. It was also beautifully presented, which made it even more enjoyable.
Beyond the food, the restaurant itself has a great ambiance—warm, welcoming, and stylish without feeling over the top. It’s the kind of place where you can relax, enjoy great food, and soak in the atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!

Public is one of the most overlooked places in town. The courtyard is my favorite outdoor hang, complete with full bar and live music (seasonally), and during the winter the patio is enclosed for some cozy vibes with a working fireplace. The food is great, with fun chef specials constantly rotating for both lunch and dinner. Great drinks, great service, great vibes!

Lunch Special: Pizza/ Salad combo was great. Pizza was warm and crispy crust. Salad was perfect size and loved the fresh lettuce, cheese, croutons. Ranch dressing must have been home made or made in house. Server was fantastic! Perfect!

If you want the full Christmas experience when you dine out, you have to try Public! Good selection of gluten free options. Cheese curds were excellent! Everyone enjoyed their burger. Root beer was reminiscent of soda fountains of days gone by.

The restaurant is housed in a charming old building that is lighted so warmly by Edison lights with warm, rich wooden tones – it’s a joy just walking in. The menu is well crafted and interesting. I was drawn by the promise of farm to table an availability of dishes for gluten sensitive individuals. But I was struck by flavor combinations. I don’t quite understand. I was excited to try the blue cornbread because it’s gluten-free. And it is good, but the combination of flavor flavors is hard to describe and I am smelling a spice that I cannot quite figure out. I’m not a fan of the onion on it. And I think I would lean harder into this as a sweet dish. But I definitely enjoyed it. I ordered the brisket tacos, and I was confused by the presentation. It’s build your own style, but it does not come with any greenery. I asked for cilantro to be brought with it. The meat has a wonderful flavor, but it is serve with a minimal amount of flavorful cilantro Crema. It’s not enough so I had to ask for something more because I struggle with swallowing dry meats. I asked for a barbecue sauce but unfortunately, the house barbecue sauce has a strong vinegar and water base with a light layer of ketchup. It’s not a Texas or St. Louis style that I might be accustomed to. They were good, but my advice get some greenery with it and some kind of sauce to moisten it. I think it would be lovely with a garlic sauce. Or maybe just a jus. I ordered a drink which was seasonal and interesting but I substituted vodka for tequila . It was a coconut cream with cinnamon and falernum, but then it had a strange note of pineapple that just seemed like a cast away in the beverage and me swapping in the vodka may have taken away something important in the flavor mix . I wouldn’t get it again, but I would certainly try some of the other interesting cocktails they offer. I love a good house speciality drink.
They didn’t really have much in the way of desserts for the gluten-free set, but you lucky wheat eaters have a bevy of delicious desserts to choose from. There was a crème brûlée lemon flavor I believe. But because of the bizarre flavor combinations we had already experienced, I wasn’t ready to risk it on the crème brûlée. My husband had steak served on what I believe was a potato hash. The presentation is interesting and the flavor was good. The most memorable part about the meal came at the end when our check was delivered in a real Book. The book was interesting with an almanac of predictions from 20 years ago. It was fun to flip through them.
Our waitress was a sweetheart, and she was very patient trying to help us with our meals.
I really wanted to love his restaurant because it has so much promise, but what I sampled was just confusing. I think I would have more luck if I was to have a burger and fries. But the options were limited for the gluten-free set. And all they had a lovely assortment of fresh ice creams, but it appeared that many of them had wheat in them. I think the chefs did a lovely job in their preparation and presentation, but I think you need to work on your flavor combinations. You don’t always have to reinvent the wheel.
One thing about this restaurant , it’s not pretentious. It’s delightfully casual, so come as you are and feel comfortable in whatever you’re wearing. The staff are dressed in baggy jeans and workout clothes, so no one’s judging you here. I love that the food is locally sourced with the names of all the purveyors given. It’s a wonderful idea, and if I’m ever in Wichita, I will come back to enjoy the outdoor portion. I’ll bring y’all my favorite barbecue sauce, which is made locally here in Edmond, Oklahoma gluten-free with no high fructose corn syrup and just the right amount of heat. It would be the perfect pairing with your brisket. I think your cornbread would be good with the barbecue sauce too.

The food here is amazing!! Deja was our waitress and she was an angel. She was so attentive and was so accommodating to our party needing separate checks. She had such a calming presence, gave great recommendations and overall we just had fantastic service from her, and all of the other Public staff who brought us food.
I cannot overstate how delicious this food was. My steak special was perfectly cooked and I had to stop myself from licking my plate. The cereal milk was also so tasty! I’ll be coming back the next time I’m in Wichita and recommending this place to anyone else who visits! Highly highly recommend!!

WOW. I had the most wonderful experience here and plan to return the next time I’m in Wichita. The food was phenomenal. Truly the meats were some of the best cooked and seasoned barbecue style meats. The atmosphere is very cool and the service was fantastic.
I stared looking a month ago for a place that could accommodate our musicians performing locally. The first place I tried was a dud. 0/10. I came across this place and the communication was speedy and accurate. The manager was very accommodating for our large party of 35. 10/10 recommend.

Pork belly appetizers would be the only reason I would go back. Service was passive aggressive and condescending. We just went in as paying customers, if you are rushed and overwhelmed, go home, we are not paying to hear why you are rude. It was disappointing and disrespectful.

We had our son and daughter in law’s wedding reception at the Public. They wanted a brunch with a mimosa bar. The Public staff went above our expectations to take care and create a special event. Brooke was very responsive through our planning and many questions. By the day of the event I had no worries. They worked with Bagatelle to have the cake delivered and on beautiful display for the event. The buffet brunch was fresh and unique. Our guests were excited by the variety; cardamon whip cream on waffles, fresh fruit with a honey mint dressing, roasted potatoes, bacon, eggs, etc.! I highly recommend the public for special events. The staff was attentive and helpful through the entire reception! I could go on and on!
