The Publik House

"Waited over 1 hr for Portobello Mushroom Wrap with side salad, description "portobello mushrooms, sautéed onions, red pepper, lettuce in balsamic glaze. Only until I complained to the bartender (identified as owner) was it explained that they were out of lettuce and had gone to Shop Rite for same. I received "I'm sorry. " When I insisted on compensation i received no charge for the wrap. When I FINALLY got the Wrap, there were no sautéed onions, no red peppers, and no balsamic glaze; just mushrooms in a dry wrap. Besides all that, bartender (owner) had to be flagged down from the other end of the bar to get his attention for another drink .ABSOLUTELY THE WORSE."

"Since COVID my friends and i have been coming to Ellenville pretty frequently... We come to this cute little town, from Rockland, for a weekend every few months.We always used to make sure we would stop at The Publick House. Well. We will not be doing that any more. We were up in February, and then twice more over the past few months. This place has gone way down hill. Horrible service, weak drinks, and shady goings on with staff and regulars make for a bad experience. There are a lot of places to go in Ellenville. This place used to be fun and inviting. It is anything but that now. I'm not sure what changed (new owners maybe? ) But this place is awful now. I only gave a star (as in ANY star) because it used to be good. Dont waste your time."

"Great burger, cold beer, warm fire in the wood stove. Friendly locals kept a good fun atmosphere, cant beat a Thursday night in Ellenville in February lol, the barkeep was very sweet and hustled. Clean rest rooms. Worth a stop for a table dinner or bar food."

"Went down with a friend for wings and definitely picked the right place. Large wings with a flavorful sauce that coated the wings perfectly (I had bourbon bbq). the food was coupled with a great conversation with the bartender, who we later found out was the owner. I will be returning many times"

"This place has yet to disappoint and I’ve been there numerous times. While it can take a bit to get the food out (the kitchen is small…. I think there’s only one person working back there), the portions are large, the food tastes great, the mixed drinks I’ve had are very good, and the staff is always very friendly and knows exactly when to engage in conversation and when to let you be. The to go is just as good as eating in house, they have never had issues with the quality of anything in my opinion. 10/10 would recommend!"
