I ordered via Doordash. The smell was intoxicating to my co workers and clients. I had the Chicken Cali with waffle fries. Worth every penny! Fantastic Job!

We’ve never had a bad meal! Everything is amazing from the salads to the burgers. Once I think I have a favorite I order something different and that becomes the favorite. The jerk chicken salad is so good!

I had the salmon bowl and it was fantastic. The flavor was rich and there was a large amount of food in it. I could barely finish it. The sweet tea was also very tasty. My waitress was very friendly and attentive. Overall, I would definitely come back to try other menu options.

Our family has patronized this restaurant since it originally opened in 2019. Having traced our family roots to the 1700s in Nansemond County, we were supportive of not only a new local business, but also an apparent African American owned enteerprise as well.
We do not post frivolous reviews, for any establishment. Not earth shattering, but TGP does have a comsistent tendency to run out of wings (the first listing on the menu). In such repeated cases, we usually order other items, such as the salmon bowl, or one of the birgers. Unfortunately, upon our last two visits, the smoked wings were burnt and rather dry and the salmon was also over cooked. The GP burger (a favorite) was fine. In the past, we have been told by a longtime employee that they had some phone issue (their words). Perhaps it is no longer an issue.
I do know if the the phone is not answered during operating hours, you may have to physically go to the restaurant to verify if they are open on that day (sometimes closed for catering jobs), or with a customer. Again, no fault on the staff. Adjudged legally blind, now I, and my family order onsite. The staff is always friendly, and the atmosphere is normally quiet, and is wheelchair accessible.
Probably will not be back due to a rather nasty response to my previous review by the owner for pointing out a few things we've noticed over a long time. Also noted the lack of any type of response to all other recent customer comments. Thanks to everyone who collectively supports local business for the community, region, and state.

Man listen, I was SLEEP riding past this place until I stopped this evening. The burger with the egg on it is a STRAIGHT MISSILE! The patty was cooked perfect with the right amount of seasoning, the waffle fries straight BUTTA! Service was just as impeccable. Y'all need to Suffolk to check this spot out 💯

I have been to this location several times and somehow fail to post about it too often. The General Public is a gem in Suffolk. I can’t recall anything I don’t like here but what I’ve had that I have a hard time picking btwn: -Caribbean Jerk bowl -brisket sandwich -(and now) California club chicken sandwich
I’ve had other things that are also good, but those three will be top contenders from here on out. And, the fries are good all by themselves. Today, again, I ate my food before I could get an image 😆
Right now they aren’t open every day of the week but they do have a location in Norfolk as well. If you are in the area and have some time while they’re open, I suggest making the trip. Good prices, good food, friendly service. 10/10

If there was a 10 star rating then The General Public would get it. Their fries are definitely better than chick fil a's
