Adding to prior reviews again since I live in another state but keep finding myself wanting to visit here of all places in the area. I called ahead and spoke with Rafi just to confirm someone could wait on me on the patio as it's raining cats n dogs and I was afraid I'd be a bother, but of course she was friendly and accommodating and walked me back upon arriving. So pleasant and happy, she was. I had my dogs with me which made it a no-brainer to come back here given the full-sized covered patio in back. 5 stars still I must say...they just don't miss a beat--though I did have to shift to a Jack & Soda over a Jack & Coke as they are Pepsi peddlers (only bad mark--heh, heh). Joe was a great server and his suggestion for the Cubano was a winner! He also let me know of their dog menu so my dogs each got a salmon filet with their bowls of water! Joe was on it--no one on the patio but me, but I was checked in on frequently. Just great service! Good food is nice, but I think I keep coming back here for the service. At all ends, they shine like the North star--an example for anyone to follow. Consistent too, if you read my prior reviews below.

Adding to an earlier review, I came in yesterday for lunch and had a really good sandwhich w some local dark beer, and then this morning came by again for breakfast, ordering the chicken-fried steak, eggs, and cheese grits. Fabulous! Sorry I had dug in before remembering a pic. The Director of Operations, Amanda, happened to be standing there conversing with the hostess when I came in and was kind enough to let me sit at the bar though this side of the restaurant doesn't open till 11am (sitting by yourself at a table always feels awkward so I wasn't sure what to do and she saw me look at the tables, then the other side and back and intuitively understood w/o my having to awkwardly ask), and she even waited on me herself--what a stand-up move to protect her employees from waiting on someone seated in another--closed--section! I stayed a couple hours and eventually had a couple local IPA's while chatting w the bartender, Becca--very friendly and attentive. It's nice to see a Public House own up to what that means--a cozy neighborhood pub with a larger, cleaner feel that takes a genuine interest in their customers. I'll be back again more now that I've moved to nearby Richmond as my family is here in Cary. 5 stars still!

My wife and I came in here looking for a place that allowed dogs (we drove here from Austin to visit my sis) and had the World Cup on TV...we were visiting from Texas. This place fit the bill. I had some great wings, stuffed pepoers, and some local IPA's and Margot was really nice and brought our dogs a water dish and treats. The game was on, and there were heaters in the ceiling with the outside wrapped up for winter--very cozy. I loved my wings...hot is more like medium-mild, but it's tasty and not overly saucy on the bone--perfect combo. We'll be back. The staff was very friendly, accommodating, and just all-around nice.
