Queenstown Public House is the perfect place if you're looking for a relaxing lunch with friends on a beautiful summer day. Its quaint ambiance is inviting, with shaded outdoor seating and decorated with sunflowers, lacy table tops, and pops of lime green and pastels. Inside, high top counters and a bar are paired with sparkly glass adornments and a wall of liquor, making for a fun and classy night time hot spot.
Aside from the look of the place, the food was unique and very good. And to my surprise, they had a gluten free menu! They even keep the vegan and vegetarian options noted.
To start off, we ordered a peach and basil sangria, and sweet potato fries that came in a little tin bucket, stocked with spicy mayo. (Trust me on this one, don't pass up the sangria). I then ordered the TJ Burger: a black bean vegetarian/gluten free patty on a gluten free bun, topped with tortilla chips, pureed tomatoes, jalapeños, blue cheese crumbles, hot sauce, and in addition, avocado. It was quite a burger; filling, full of interesting flavor combinations, and somewhat healthy? Or so I'd like to think. Aside from a full menu of different style burgers, they also have delicious salads, such as heirloom tomato with burrata cheese, a giant fruit combination topped with grilled shrimp, and red and black quinoa with pear and veggies.
Along with the great food, Queenstown Public House had fantastic service. Our waitress was very sweet, interested in giving us detailed explanations on whatever recipe we questioned, and quick to pull out another menu option when she heard the words "gluten free."
So, head over to Queenstown Public House and end your summer with a fun, low key night.
