Very cool place

Oct 2020 • none

Great food and beer. I had a pulled pork sandwich which was huge and EXCELLENT , my wife got a pizza and was great as well and more than you could eat so we had a few extra lunches on that meal. I also bought an assorted 6 pack of beer I will enjoy for a while.

Try the Bounce IPA!

Good beer, yummy pizza and a cool gift area. We got the mushroom pizza, be prepared for the extra arugula topping. It was good but not like any topping I have ever had. I would order again. Adalia was an awesome server.

Laid back place with excellent food

Apr 2023 • couples

We stopped in here while traveling through. It is a large open restaurant with a patio section for nice weather. It is a working brewery as well as a restaurant. It was not crowded on a Thursday early dinner time so we were seated promptly. The menu is burgers, pizza, Sandwiches, tacos etc. we started off with some pimento cheese dip with flat bread and it was terrific. Very flavorful and a large portion. We then had a caprese chicken sandwich and brisket tacos. The tacos were amazing, they had a Native American berry sauce that was especially tasty. There were others at the bar enjoying the local drinks and visiting. There is merchandise for sale and of course the craft beers and wine. All in all a laid back place to get a good meal.

Good beer, food just so so

Jan 2020 • family

The space is very nice and we enjoyed the beer. The food in my opinion was overpriced and just okay. $14 hamburger with cubed fried potatoes meh... Was excited to try the gnocchi but was disappointed. Fried premade with a strange sour pesto drizzled over. Go for the beer after you have eaten or perhaps the appetizers are better.

Unexpectedly not as good

Sep 2021 • couples

So this is a fantastic location with great beers. Hands down love if for that. But I gotta say, when I ordered a mushroom pizza with spinach, I wasn’t expecting a literal salad on my pizza. At at 17$ I would have expected a LOT more mushrooms. Very strange. I was very glad they had a gluten free option, huge plus. Buuuut they burnt the edges. Uhmmm… yeah! Some mistakes where made at an otherwise awesome place. I would suggest they put “a salad on a pizza!” as the description so no misunderstandings happen.

Disappointing

May 2022 • couples

We’ve driven past here often and always intended to stop. Wish we hadn’t. As other reviewers have mentioned, the entry is unwelcoming and confusing. There’s no separation between the waiting area and diners. They’ve even got tables right up front next to the bathrooms (yuck!) and yet they placed their “store” merchandise in the back by other seating? Still, we were anxious to try the drinks & food. First disappointment, we were told they were out of their “featured” trout fritters (this was noon on a Friday). So we ordered 2 other appetizers, chicken fingers & a flatbread. While we waited, we saw that the atmosphere is OVERLY casual. Several DOGS came through, one even sniffing the plates by the servers’ station - again Yuck!! Workers weee coming through the dining area - construction on the patio? - and the back door was propped open to cold air on those sitting and eating. We were sharing the apps, but we didn’t get individual plates. The marinara sauce that came with the flatbread was STRAIGHT from the fridge, stone cold. Lastly, we paid with cash, and our waitress shorted us by keeping the (coin) change. Not cool. Nothing appealing about this place at all. Will NOT return.

Disappointed

Mar 2023 • couples

I was so excited to visit this place! I has read some reviews and it did not meet our expectations at all! We ordered pretzel bites with mustard and beer cheese. The little pretzel pieces tasted like grease and the beer cheese had no flavor. It was like watered down cheese. We had brisket tacos. All it was was some brisket on a soft shell. There was no cheese etc. would not go back and eat again!! The beer flight was okay. There were some good beers. The crème beer was good and I loved the semi dry cider.

Great service and delicious food in St James, MO

May 2021 • family

This resturaunt was a spur of the moment lunch stop. We were very pleasantly surprised. Our server was on point: friendly, happy and attentive. They use fresh, local beef in their burgers which my family said tasted like heaven. If you like beer, this is the place to try a lot of different beers. There is a winery next door if that's something that interests you. They allow dogs and that's always a positive thing in my book. You can eat indoors or dine al fresco. This was a great little find right off the hwy. I'll be back again if we're ever in this area again.

Family get together

Mar 2023 • family

We live in Springfield and have family in St. Louis. We decided to meet half way for a visit and lunch. Public House was the perfect location. Right off I-44 easy to get to and lots of parking. We arrived right when they opened at 11:00qm. Nicole brought after right out to the 7 of us. We then placed our drink orders. She was very knowledgeable in helping us choose from their big selection. We ordered some appetizers. The beer pretzels and chili cheese fries. Loved the chili cheese fries. The Beer cheese for the pretzels was good but we were missing the salt on the pretzels. After our appetizers arrived we ordered our meal. The mushroom Swiss burger special was delicious. My husband enjoyed his HOT chicken sandwich. The seasoning on the fries was good. Because we were there to catch up with family we took our time. The staff never made us feel like we had over stayed our welcome. Even though they got very busy after the St Pat’s Parade. We enjoyed our visit and are planning to return in a few months when the garden is open.

Alway perfect!!!

Feb 2023 • couples

On the way home from Branson we stopped again at the public house brewing company for some of their incredible pizza. Even though I hate going to a sit down restaurant when driving on a trip, this is worth being an exception. The service is always good, the servers are funny and polite and thoughtful. But the pizza is always off the charts. Good. I’ve got a meat pizza. - this is one that does not have pizza sauce. If you’d like pizza sauce, some of the others, they offer have it, but be sure, and read the menu closely if that’s a thing for you. Their pizza is always perfect. I believe they make the crust from scratch and it’s kind of an artisan type pizza. I can always taste a little bit of the flour on top of the dough. The meat and pepperoni that they use is very high-quality so there’s not a lot of grease. It’s a heavy pizza , and it’s always great to be able to take some home as leftovers!

Call before you go!!!!!!

Jan 2023 • none

No pimento spread, Used to be world famous, No Pizza, Only small kitchen open so only burgers. The burgers are great but had planned on Pizza. They changed the pretzel bites to doughy chucks of frozen pizza crust or something worse, they used to be great as well. Bottom line is call before you go & ask what's on the menu & if they have your favorite drink.

Great place to stop on road trip west!!

Feb 2022 • couples

On our way from Michigan to Arizona we stopped here for dinner as it was convenient off I-44. We had a great meal and the manager/waiter was very friendly. He brought us beer samples in addition to to our beer selections, which led us to buy a mixed six pack. Highly recommended.

Great food and healthy as well

Jul 2023 • family

It’s hard to find well cooked food and healthy food but we have found it at public house in St. James, Mo. They offer grass fed beef and care about real food over cheap food. We have had no issues after eating there. Most restaurants use mystery ingredients like msg or Splenda that can cause physical issues. The staff is helpful and the service is quick.

Phenomenal Brewery

Apr 2021 • none

The Public House offers an array of outstanding beers at a good price. I had two flights' worth of tasters, which ranged from good to excellent. Service was quick, friendly, and efficient. I'd particularly recommend the Giddy Goat Stout, Anthony's Pacification, and the Helles Lager.

Great Girl Getaway Preview

Sep 2020 • none

My daughter told me about Public House because she will stop on her way through to bring home (really good) beer. This trip out, we were with the 2 granddaughters. Tables are nicely spaced, food was delicious! Pub Burgers, cheeseburgers, and pizza (WOW!), and everything arrived hot, and perfectly made.
