Public & General Restaurant - Gainesville (FL)

5 /5 Alexander Applegett: 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 thats both comforting and quietly inventive.

2 /5 garry collins: I went to this joint on lunch break the other day and I ordered the burgers and fries and the burger was not seasoned at all and had a burnt taste and the fries were dry and overly cooked. It seemed like the fries were old and dropped in hot oil. For this to be my first time here it wasnt what I expected. Bathrooms were very clean but that burger experience wasnt that. Tighten up on those burgers and fries they need to be more fresh then what they were.

3 /5 Rj Phillips: Found this tucked away in Gainesville Google Maps has a weird way of getting you there looks like theres two outside patio seating did not feel very welcome coming in its 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 youre 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 Ill be back to try more just wont waste $ on the fried green tomato appetizer but definitely will get the dilll french fries again

3 /5 Cindy Ballard: 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.

4 /5 Andrea B: 4 feels slightly low for our experience, but this wasn’t a 5⭐️ experience. Everyone in my group was satisfied with their food. It was just a bit on the greasy side though and the food took ages to come out despite not being very busy. A little dark and dingy; will sit outside next time. Would be nice if there were more veg options.
