The Terminal Public House

We were in town on other business and stopped in for a bite of lunch. Wait staff were friendly and helpful. Food was delicious and the atmosphere was excellent. My wife had the California Roll Flatbread. I had the Tweet-loaf Melt (meatloaf sandwich). We shared a Bavarian pretzel as well. I don't get to say this often, but this place is one of those spots that I really enjoyed going to for a bite and will definitely be back for more.

I went in as part of a group, I think there were 11 of us. They put us in our own little room so it was fairly quiet in there and that was pretty awesome! Our server was great she took our drink orders and then came back a little bit later and took our food order. I really enjoyed the cocktail I had, it had coffee liqueur and Baileys and cream and a few other things and it was delicious. I also really enjoyed my lunch I had the glazed salmon with rice and veggies. I would certainly order this meal again. I look forward to the next time I go back Terre Haute way.

Wow! So glad we stopped here while traveling through town. Atmosphere is great and the seating is comfortable. Our table ordered a Bavarian pretzel with beer cheese, the OG flatbread, the crab Rangoon flatbread, an old fashioned, and a fall-oma. (A Paloma with maple, caramel, and cinnamon) Our sever was wonderful and the kitchen was fast. This will be a must-do when passing through the area.

I wanted to love this place. The menu is outstanding. When we arrived, I let the writer know that we were in somewhat of a hurry. He said it was no problem and that he would move things along for us. Unfortunately, nothing was at a pace faster than turtle. I ordered the meatloaf sandwich and my mashed potatoes were lukewarm and cold in the middle. They did bring me a new cup of potatoes but they were pretty bland. Meatloaf sandwich was good, served in crispy Texas toast. My husband had the pot roast manhattan and was surprised to see that the pot roast was minced. He said it tasted ok but there was no texture. My daughters Flatbread was good. My other daughter ordered Buffalo chicken dip and they were out. She changed to a Ceasar salad with salmon which she said was ok. My beer was room temperature. We won't be going back but I really hope it was just an off night. This restaurant was adorable with great atmosphere and I wish them the best.

I was passing through town and saw this restaurant was highly rated. I’ve never been to the city and was just looking for a good place to eat. This establishment exceeded all my expectations. I’ve worked in a restaurant before and you can immediately feel the atmosphere here: open, welcoming, and vibrant. It was absolutely full on this Tuesday night 1/27/26. Sitting down near the bar alone, I was immediately greeted and served by one of the bartenders. There was primarily one bearded gentleman with a Purdue hat who took my orders, but at least 3 others delivered my food and checked in with me. The food was excellent, I had a burger and broccoli and it was delicious. But I was blown away by the staff and atmosphere. It was like everyone knew everyone. And even "strangers" were treated the same. The staff was attentive, fast, and driven, yet still being very personable to all the patrons. You have something special very here, something I wish I experienced when I waited tables. I even told them so in a note on my receipt. Keep up the great work. I will go out of my way to come here again!

I had amazing experience at Terminal. The food was fresh, tasty and full of flavor. The service was friendly and fast, and the atmosphere very nice. Everything was clean and well organized. I definitely recommend this place and will come back again!

The Terminal Public House was such a pleasant surprise! The menu has an impressive variety of options — honestly, it was tough to pick just one entree because everything looked so good. I ended up trying the Hippie Wings (breaded cauliflower) along with two entrees: the Poke Nachos and the Southwest Salad. Everything was flavorful and beautifully presented. The cocktail menu was just as exciting, with several creative options for each type of liquor. I went with the Strawberry Basil Smash, which was sweet, refreshing, and perfectly balanced. Service was excellent — friendly, attentive, and my food came out surprisingly fast. The atmosphere ties it all together: an upscale vintage vibe that feels modern, clean, and welcoming. Overall, The Terminal Public House is a spot I’m definitely looking forward to visiting again.
