The Publican Chicago Reviews from The Last Year
One of my favorite places in Fulton Market! I've only been
One of my favorite places in Fulton Market! I've only been for brunch but it has been great every time! The bacon is AMAZING, we got the waffle and schnitzel this time. The waffle was nice and crispy. Definitely recommend as part of any Chicago visit, but not the most vegetarian-friendly.
I came here with a party of four.
Getting a reservation was very easy. The moment we were sat we were treated extremely well by our server. We ordered drinks (Negroni was amazing) as well as the bread with pimento cheese, the tikka masala scallops, the hay smoked ham chop, the bbq carrots, and the Brussels sprouts. Everything was prepared extremely well and tasted amazing. No notes on what could be approved. The pimento cheese and the pork chop had a southern flair and were immediate standouts. We asked our server what dessert would he recommend: the carrot cake and the tart. He recommended the tart so we ordered it. Then he sent over both because he thought we should experience both. Absolutely incredible meal and would def come back.
We had a great time at brunch at The Publican.
The potatoes were an amazing side to share. Our server was really helpful and friendly. I wish they had more gluten free options.
My goodness, the sunchoke dish was an absolute stunner.
I've never had sunchoke like that before. Usually you barely taste it in a dish, NOT here. Imagine a small baked potato, but it just tastes like fresh artichoke. I could eat 5 plates of it in a sitting. Easily. I went in for at least 3 helpings of the brussels sprouts, so creamy and flavorful. For being a meat place, they really do the veggies right. I am not a sweets person but they brought the dessert cart by the table after dinner and yeah, it worked. The carrot cake, heavenly. Hint of spice, cream cheese drizzle. Kept some leftover and had with coffee the next day. And the bread. The BREAD. Thick, soft slices slathered with butter. I need a couple more baskets of that, too. Tried the lime lager (Half Acre). Why don't I see this beer everywhere?! It's refreshing and tasty. Service was great, fun seating for smaller parties. I finally see what all the fuss is about.
Great drinks & the oyster happy hour rules.
Service was also very good, but food was a bit mediocre and I would have been a bit disappointed had I paid standard price instead of happy hour prices. Beef fat frites are good but really really rich, schnitzel & sausage were just alright
Revisited Publican after an approx.
six year hiatus. Service was just ok as one member of our party waited 25 minutes for his beer. Waitress kept forgetting on a night that had a 1/2 filled house. Asked about the entrees and were advised that they were big and definitely shareable- WRONG! Small portions were covered in garnishes, bread to cover up small portions. If you want to spend a LOT of Money for slightly above average, small portion foods - this is the place to be! Unfortunate as we were all out for a nice evening and really looking forward to this promise of an excellent experience and got a below average one instead..
Really great brunch here! The portions are generous and
Really great brunch here! The portions are generous and everything was really impressive. Food is family style and comes out as ready so it was a really quick experience.
Sirloin was excellent, definitely my favorite dish of the
Sirloin was excellent, definitely my favorite dish of the night. Barbecue carrots were also yummy. Started with 6 oysters that were quickly finished. Also got the frites with garlic aoli! Service was quick and friendly. It is very loud, which makes sense given the layout of the dining room and many parties sitting together.
I can't think of a meal that I have enjoyed more.
We got the beard plate, which was fire. Brussel sprouts that was probably the best I have ever had. One of us had ham and the other a sirloin and you couldn't go wrong with either. Staff was kind and made sure everything was amazing. We even got dessert because we enjoy everything so much.
Nice ambiance, good drinks/beer selection, and simple, yet
Nice ambiance, good drinks/beer selection, and simple, yet interesting meal options. The espresso martini, the sunchokes and the chefs choice of oysters were fabulous. We had the country steak for our meat and it was average, if anything.
Food was so creative and delicious.
I can't believe we haven't been sooner. One thing I wish I had known in advance, there are private tables and shared communal tables. We were seated in a booth that felt very reminiscent of a pig stall (intentionally). I do wonder how someone with mobility limitations would be able to navigate either the booths or the communal table. Noise level is fairly high. The food was incredible - I don't normally love pork belly but this has changed my mind. It was so perfectly crispy and juicy and flavorful. My mouth is watering just remembering as I write this. The salad was also incredible, I would eat that every day if I could. Everything else was delicious and quite unique, I was sure what to expect with the baked clams but again so tasty. We did the wine pairing which was nice as well.
My first trip here was for brunch on a Saturday morning.
We sat at the bar area. Smoked Salmon Dip was really good-served with capers over hash browns. The Little Gem lettuce was tasty as well. The cinnamon roll with pecans was a great start.
Average food. Limited menu. Lacking
I have to agree with many others. Average at best food. Did Sunday brunch. VERY limited menu. So pay attention online because it’s accurate. No burger. No lunch possibilities. The items are fine. The bacon that you hear raves is actually a thick piece of pork belly. Fatty to the point I just asked the waiter to remove it early. Eggs well done but overall I’m not returning. It’s got hype I don’t understand
More good than bad, but disappointed given its reputation and rating.
A friend and I went for an early dinner and had a nice table outside. Our waiter was prompt and we started with martinis and oysters. They were both very good and our waiter was able to advise us well on our oyster selections. We had the side of tomatoes that were DELICIOUS! Super refreshing and unique. The main courses were more problematic. My friend got the swordfish. Overall it was fine, but we did not know it was going to be breaded and the fish itself was very dense, more than normal. The flavor was good. I ordered the branzino and was very disappointed. It is the whole fish including bones. The flavor was off. I didn't eat it. Trip Advisor says this is a Michelin restaurant. It is not. It is an average restaurant in a city that has many. Comparatively overpriced and the atmosphere is nothing to get excited about. The washrooms needed to be cleaned.
Fab brunch
Fantastic brunch with friends and family! We loved the schnitzel and croque monsieur! Great atmosphere. Great service.
Forgettable.
The food here is good if unspectacular. I noted the array of Beard awards on the wall but I’ve eaten around the world and at multi-starred places and there’s a reason the awards are all years old. Nothing was bad but nothing was new or inventive either. The service needs special mention because it was absolutely mediocre. The waitress tried to talk us out of our entrees, suggesting they were too large. Ma’am, I’ll tell you what I’m ordering and you bring it. If three people want to share three large entrees then just do it. We don’t need a lecture or guidance. When we were done, the staff kept trying to aggressively clear the table. Ok, if the place is packed with a line out the door and you need to turn the table then sure. But taking water and food off the table when you’d place is 2/3 empty isn’t appropriate in anything resembling fine dining.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
