"This was my second time at Portsmouth Publick House. My first experience was fantastic easily a 4.5 star experience. Food was better than expected and service was great. We got a beer, margarita sampler thing, pork nachos, and a BBQ pizza. The drinks were great, nachos were amazing (huge portion they dump everything onto a pizza try and bake it , the pizza is huge (16” and really good. This second time, however, was less than stellar probably 3.5 stars. My wife and I stopped by the car museum down the road for a fundraiser and thought we’d grab a quick bite since we enjoyed it so much the first time. Unfortunately, the nachos this second time around were burnt and the service was a bit slow. The fried pickles and Asian dumplings were great. One thing I didn’t love (personal preference was they don’t serve Coke products (only Pepsi . As a DC addict, this was a disappointment. Our server was friendly and accommodating but didn’t check in very often. I’m sure I’ll be back but may be a little pickier with the timing and order."
