The General Public House 501 Canal Street, New Smyrna Beach, FL 32168

"One of the best meals my husband and I have had in a long time. I went in expecting the standard beach side over priced food that equal a Ruby Tuesday chain restaurant. I have to say I was WRONG in the BEST way!!! 100% fresh & truly chef inspired food. I will definitely be back & telling friends"

"Highly recommend this place. Seems like plain Jane, however each dish we ordered was great. I agree w another reviewer, the Tomahawk pork chop best ever. I ordered it Medium and it came out tender and tasty. My wife ordered Salmon well done, once again cooked perfectly."

"The salmon and mashed potatoes were delicious. Others in my party had excellent meals as well (pork, steak, and grouper). Lovely decor."

"Great place! I've lived here by whole life and been everywhere on canal and this is a great little place. The food was delicious and extremely well done. We had the lemon chicken, the redfish, Mac and cheese, and whipped potatoes. All of it seasoned and cooked so well, best I've had in a long time! Our server was Victoria and she was extremely sweet and nice and helped us at every opportunity, we couldn't have asked for any better she is the best!! The atmosphere was wonderful, music was not too loud, the lighting not too harsh, the aesthetic is wood, old posh, and wonderful. I highly recommend this place and we will definitely be returning!"

"Very cozy, quiet, and cute place with fantastic menu. Everything was beautifully prepared. Unfortunately, I had never had dry aged beef before and wasn't ready for the difference in flavor. That was not their fault by any means. It still was cooked to absolute perfection and I ate part of it and my dogs absolutely loved the rest of it! My husband's pork chop was the best one we've ever had anywhere EVER! The potatoes and grits are to die for and my husband hates grits but still enjoyed them! All around a good experience for our first visit (even though they were out of several things we asked for due to a delivery delay). We will definitely be back, but I'll get the chicken out pork next time now that I'm educated on dry aged beef."
