The General Public

This place is so good! We came here during lunch and they had a really great lunch special menu. We absolute loved all the food. We started with the artichoke dip and we got the $12 dollar lunch special fish and chips. It was a generous basket and the fish was so crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. I loved it. Our waiter Tommy was so nice, we enjoyed his recommendations. It was not busy when we went but they do take reservations. I like it felt like a very relaxed place to come eat.

The General Public is a beautifully designed restaurant with a great atmosphere, but the service was disappointing. Our waiter seemed to forget about us, and we had to ask another staff member to find him when it was time to pay.The food was a mixed experience. The crispy chicken sandwich was flavorful, warm, and toasty, with a side of fries I couldn't complain about. However, the chicken apple club fell flat--cold despite being toasted, and the thick apple slices were too much.The highlight was the crispy empanadas: perfectly crunchy, easy to eat, and filled with delicious potatoes and meat. While the food had its moments, the service needs improvement to match the ambiance.

Great find! Decent variety on menu; generous portions; clean facilities; nice atmosphere; plenty of parking. With so many dining options in the area, this is worth a try.

My good friend and I went here the other night for dinner. The entrance and interior are very attractive with lots of eye catching and interesting decor. It was a Tuesday night so I wasn't expecting it to be busy but I will admit I was concerned by how few patrons were in the restaurant during our visit. I sure hope they are busier on the weekends because wow we loved this place!Our waiter was attentive and very helpful with menu recommendations. We started with the loaded tater tots and crab hush puppies. DELISH! Then for our entreé we shared the steak & potatoes. Everything was cooked to perfection, especial the steak - it was a perfect medium-rare. Exactly how I love it! The smoked old fashioned was phenomenal. I will definitely be returning.

Went during lunch time and their lunch menu options are great for $12. The Caesar salad has to be one of the best in San Antonio and the green chile chicken sandwich was sooooo good!! The service was great, we went with our pup, so happy to say they are a patio pet friendly restaurant. We sat outside and the climate was perfect for an outside lunch. The Brussels had a good crisp, but I personally prefer more of a honey siracha Brussels type. Lunch Menu is 11am-3pm. Happy hour begins at 3pm with their unbeatable 3pm: $3, 4pm: $4 and 5pm: $5.

Haven't visited in a year and the food was still delicious. The restaurant was nice and clean. Our server Tommy was super friendly and attentive. The ginger ahi tuna tartar was mouthwatering!

I wanted to try General Public's Restaurant Week dinner menu, but I couldn't find a kids menu online so I called to confirm there were kids options. The phone rang for 2.5 minutes and no one picked up the phone. I still decided to drive to the restaurant and give it a try. As we walk in the hostess is walking to the host/hostess stand and I ask for a booth, but let her know we need to go to the bathroom first. A few minutes later, we are back at the hostess stand and I see the hostess enter the back kitchen. No one is at the hostess stand so we wait. I watch the servers all performing their single task. One person looks up at me for spilt second and then goes back to their task. It's just after 5pm and the restaurant is less than half full. We wait and wait. I pick up a menu and review the options. At some point I realize this wait is ridiculous and I walk up to the bar and ask the bartender if someone can seat us. She asks someone walking by to help us and we are sat. I confirm there are three kids options, however a menu doesn't exist. The girl that sat us took our drink order and when she returns we are ready to order. We've had plenty of time to figure out what we wanted to order and are hungry. She explains she is not our server, so we wait. Eventually our server appears, takes our order but leaves all the menus on the table. Somewhere between receiving the appetizer and the entree, the menus that were on the edge of the table were picked up. I noticed other tables that were there before us still had their menus on their table as well. I know the menu left on the table is a little thing, but it takes up space on the table and it's all part of the experience.The only reason I gave this experience two stars was because I enjoyed the food and once our server came to our table, things were good. My child on the other hand loves grilled cheese and tried her meal and instantly said "I don't like it." I got her to eat a few bites, but I knew I would have to find her something else for dinner.I enjoyed the crab hushpuppies as an appetizer. While you don't see or taste crab, the flavor is great. I also enjoyed the coffee rubbed steak and potatoes. The lemon/blue berry dessert was not as good as I anticipated. Overall, the Restaurant Week offering was pretty close to the same price if I would have ordered everything off the menu, so it wasn't much of a cost savings. Will I return? Not likely. We frequent the Rim and La Cantera restaurants and can have a better experience elsewhere.

We were here for a happy hour event. The bar staff was very friendly. I loved their mushrooms, which had some crispy breadcrumbs. The burger sliders were also delicious! They also had a few different flavors of chicken meatballs. I liked their strawberry Moscow mule!

Cozy atmosphere very relaxing lounge vibe service is really good. She accommodated it major change to one of the signature drinks and it came out really good. As far as pricing, they're a little proud of their drinks. We had a number of appetizers to accompany. The food was fantastic.

Very mellow and tranquil ambiance. Paul and Joey did a phenomenal job at making sure my party was well attended. Remarkable work on the culinary presentation as well. Looking forward to returning.
