I visited The General Public restaurant for the first time in September 2025, and I visited several times thereafter!
The food is scrumptiously delicious and well prepared. And they offer great weekly lunch specials. Go, see, taste and enjoy for yourself!!

If you want fresh, flavorful,creative food, this is your place! The owner, General, gave us a personalized experience...we asked him to surprise us with his favorites and he brought out a fantastic chicken wrap and one of the tastiest chicken Thai bowls I have ever had (ask for extra sauce).Fabulous, FRESH food that shows the chef has real skills to pull flavors together. Great food and great vibes all around!
