I’m so glad we stumbled upon this restaurant. If I could give Public 12 or 15 stars out of 5, I would. It was definitively the best meal I’ve ever eaten. The drinks were done well, the Maple Salmon I had was phenomenal, and our host Meridith was an absolute delight. My wife and I had a wonderful experience there tonight, and we can’t wait to go back. Hats off to the staff there, truly memorable, thank you!

My husband and I went for a date last night. Meredith was our server. Her knowledge, customer service, and character were 10/10. Our food was fantastic. We got the Rangoon’s, the highlighted salad, the salmon, and the short rib. Every single dish was amazing and the quantity of food was excellent as well. No skimpy dishes. We were so impressed and can hardly wait to go back for another delicious meal so close to our home in Zeeland!

So thankful for this place and their staff— I came in with no reservations trying to take my two daughters out for dinner before our dance. All other places in area were on long waits but without telling her or pushing for it, the manager said she could fit us in before their next reservation. Made the world for us to be able to have dinner together at such a nice restaurant before the daddy daughter dance. Food was great and so was the staff. Thank you so much!

Absolutely everything about our meal at Public, in Zeeland, Michigan was perfection. My husband enjoyed the Meyer lemon Brown butter, Parmesan crusted chicken cutlet – I don’t have word’s to adequately describe the bright flavors of the dish, everything was beautifully balanced. The braised short rib is exquisitely, tender, so much so that you don’t even need to chew it – but you want to, just so you get to enjoy it longer.
Make a reservation and GO! You won’t regret it ❤️

It was delicious! A must! We ordered the Salmon and the chicken cutlet special.
Alex was a wonderful server. Strongly recommend asking for him. Meredith at the bar was also fun to chat with and so helpful picking out drinks. Great music as well! Will be back soon!

We recently dined at Public Restaurant and we were thoroughly impressed by several standout dishes and cocktails.
The Southern Shrimp Beignets were a delightful start to the meal. These savory beignets, complemented by hot honey, blue crab, and pimento cheese, offered a blend of flavors that set the tone for the evening.
The Public Prime Cheeseburger was a testament to classic comfort food done right. Served on a pretzel bun with a choice of cheese and accompanied by hand-cut fries, it was both satisfying and flavorful.
The Maple Basted Scottish Salmon was paired with butternut squash, whipped goat cheese, bacon-onion jam, and finished with maple brown butter, each bite was a delightful combination of sweet and savory.
The Midwest Wedge salad was refreshing and delightful. Topped with buttermilk ranch dressing, candied bacon, red onion, tomato, and crumbled bleu cheese, it provided a crisp and flavorful balance to the meal.
Public Restaurant is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for both casual and special occasions. The attentive service further enhanced the dining experience. The waitress came by to refill our waters several times throughout the service (even if they were slightly less full).
I highly recommend visiting Public Restaurant to savor these dishes and explore their diverse menu.

My wife went to dinner with her friend and the following day asked if I wanted to try it. It was excellent. Small place, but cozy. Decent size lunch menu. The service person was very nice and the food was great. We both had burgers. I told ny wife I would definitely eat here again.

Great local restaurant with a good selection of food from bites to full portion meals. All the food we had was very well prepared and cooked, with tons of flavor. Prices are very reasonable for the quality and the service was very friendly and helpful.

Stopped in at random with zero knowledge of Public. We will absolutely return to try the other menu items. The staff is very personable and friendly. Put Public on your list.

Congratulations on your reopening! My husband and I just happened to be in the area after picking up a desk top from Haworth and playing a round of disc golf at Ridgepoint. The Angels on Horseback were divine! We both adored our cheese sandwiches though we were both strongly tempted to by other things on the menu.
