Had a flight delay at Chicago O’Hare Airport so decided to grab a bite at Publican Tavern. They have the option of a QR code or the waitress is happy to take your order. After reading the reviews I had my heart set on the fire roasted vegetables but was told they had no more on hand for today. Bummer! So I went with my 2nd choice the “Avocado Salad.” Sometimes a loss is a win!

Mind blown Absolutely scrumptious! I don’t even know where to begin. The ingredients are Al dente grilled asparagus, sliced avocado, baby kale, knob onion, crispy toasted quinoa (game changer ) with an in house prepared dressing to die for made from ginger and sunflower seeds. As a foodie lover of all things vegetable, this was a hit and saved the day.

We all know the horror stories of airport overpriced, over processed meals that always seem to leave you wanting more with a gaping hole in your wallet. Not today. This win is for the average traveler who’s been burned by airport food one too many times.

Great service and at a cost of $19.50 we can now add “great value” to our airport meal shenanigans today. Cheers to our next adventure

Like many who pop in here we had a delay in-between flights and found a spot that served decent food. That said, my wife and I found this spot quite enjoyable ☺️.

We shared the Coppa Tartine starter over cocktails, my wife ordered the fish sandwich which she enjoyed (I stole some of her pickles) and complimented the Gribiche Aioli that came with. They did mix up her chips for fries but it was busy and we had good service overall so not the kind of thing we mind.

Highlight was the Walleye plate pictured here. Not an overly appealing presentation I’ll note there but the flavors blew me away. Fish was tender, beans creamy, lemons zesty but the winner surprisingly was the dill and parsley greens. Lol, I think they call this ‘Salsa verde’ because they add jalapenos?? In my opinion call it what you want but those flavors worked so well across every bite. A recommended experience, I enjoyed this with a Madeline ale . Oh and the jalapenos weren’t spicy at all, I wasn’t overly interested so I moved to the side and still enjoyed.

Bartender that night was a beast, wish I caught his name.

We ate at the Publican at O’hare while waiting for our flight and we were pleasantly surprised by the food and the service.

You can either scan the bar code and order on your phone or get a physical menu. We love ordering on our phones as our Dr told us that restaurant menus are one of the germiest items in the world.

We started with drinks, an old- fashioned for my husband and a red wine for me. My husband’s old-fashioned with Four Roses bourbon was good and had a slice of orange and a cherry.
My husband ordered the wood- fired vegetables, which included carrots and broccoli with a sauce (that included a little spice) and pecans. The veggies were cooked perfectly al dente. I ordered the fish plate, which was a baked haddock with large white beans. The haddock was delicious and the beans were very good.

Service was quick, friendly, and efficient!

Our only suggestion is that the online menu include a better explanation of each item.

We would definitely eat here again and would recommend it to others. It’s a pleasant dining experience at O’Hare.

This restaurant is located in the Chicago O’hare airport. The table we were seated at was sticky. You use a QR code to order and pay. I’m personally not a fan of this method of service. I had questions on how to order the waffle listed on the menu board out front and had to go find an employee to ask. Once we ordered, the food came quickly. Food was overpriced for what it was but that’s to be expected in the airport when traveling.

I had a great experience at this restaurant! Especially considering other airport food I’ve had this was delicious! I had the fish sandwich which was a good size, super crisp and flakey, and the toppings (gribiche aioli, pickles, onion, arugula) gave it some awesome acid and freshness to brighten it up.

I chose to get fries on the side which was an up charge from kettle chips but they came out hot and fresh. Honestly for the quality of food and venue provided I definitely think it is a decent value – not only by airport standards.

Thomas was my server and he did a phenomenal job! There was an option to use a QR code menu but he saw me struggling with it and gave me a physical menu. He gave me good recommendations and also helped me move tables so I could charge my laptop.

I ordered the Pub Burger with fries. I don’t want to oversell it, because it’s just a burger, but it’s a seriously good burger. I don’t know if the magic is in the sauce or the way the meat and cheese blend, but it’s the quintessential burger. I’d absolutely order it again. My wife ordered the Chicken Sandwich, and the chicken is well seasoned. Very flavorful. I didn’t love it because the emphasis is on the marinated cucumber and avacado (both of which I don’t love), but my wife loved it and it’s a popular dish. We also ordered the Chocolate Chip Cookie, and I’ll spare you from wasting five bucks. It’s not good. Just a dry brown sugar cookie-tasting brick.

Our server, Thomas, was observant and helpful. He quietly went about refilling our drinks and provided quick service. He was perfect for getting us back to our gate before boarding.

I enjoyed the atmosphere and tables. It’s like a colonial tavern, and it was good respite from the hustle of O’Hare. Overall I enjoyed my visit and would definitely eat here again.

​I’m usually not a fan of dining at airports, but sometimes you don’t have a choice. I came to this place relying on its good Google rating, and I’m glad I did. We both ordered a meal—a chicken sandwich and a burger—and were completely satisfied. The food was a straight shooter; nothing was wrong with it, and it was exactly what you’d want from a place like this. A solid choice for an airport meal.

Had time to pick a restaurant between flights and settled on this once because of the reviews. It was about a 10 min walk, but worth it. I got the turkey sandwich and fries plus a local Hefeweizen. The only ding I can give them is that it was a bit loud.

Living nearby, I don’t eat at o’hare very often but was happy to have time to sit down at Publican Tavern. Food was good, gem salad solid, fish sandwich solid, frites solid. One little miss on order accuracy but was quickly remedied.
