What an incredible dinner! Our first time at MRK Public and we were so unexpectedly and happily blown away by everything about our experience! Our Server, Justin was excellent! His friendly personality along with his professionalism and superb recommendations made our dining experience even better. The Food itself was truly MAGICAL! I strongly recommend you BEG sous chef, Logan to make his mouth watering creation, his Smokey Tortilla Soup. How can anyone possibly make Brussel Sprouts taste that flavorful? And yet, he did! From the Cucumber Mint homemade salad dressing to the Brown Betty Sweet Potato Cake dessert, we were served a delectable treasure of unique flavors and delights! We will definitely be back for more! Thank you for the experience!

A fantastic menu, great beer and wine options and friendly service - an all-around go-to in San Clemente!

This place is a true locals spot - the service and food are incredible. The menu isn't huge but every item is curated to be excellent from the burger to the dessert to the kids items. Very chill ambiance and we're thankful it's a gem in our neighborhood.

Great find in San Clemente. The service was exceptional. The restaurant smelled so good that we chose to eat inside, although there was plenty of outside seating. We both had the banh mi (mine with tofu) which were delicious! The brussel sprouts with hoisen and bonito were different and yummy. The fries were just the right crispiness.

A friend and I tried this non-descript restaurant because they had vegan AND meat dishes. We were not disappointed! I had a burger and my friend had the vegan sandwich. The burger was awesome, but then I got a bite of the vegan sandwich and was blown away. The food is outstanding here. The hometown beach restaurant vibe is ideal for me. Very laid back. They have a good beer selection on tap, but I don't drink so can't comment on that I highly recommend MRK Public for a unique dining experience! Seems like all restaurants are getting pricey - welcome to California - this place is no exception. $17 for a burger or sandwich.

It's been a while since I've been here but it's so good Prices are a bit stiff but the food is 10/10 worth it and the portions are huge too Service is great, very attentive and sweet and I never have to wait for refills or the check Ambiance is quite and nice, not overwhelming at all

Very tasty sandwiches. Excellent and friendly service. I got a glass of wine, split the Brussels with some friends and got the braised beef sandwich. Very yummy and filling. My friend got the chicken sandwich and that was flavorful as well. We sat outside under the heat lamp and was very nice

Hidden secret. Have been there a few times. Everything on the menu is good. All the items seem to be fresh. Prices are fair. Must try spot.

We tried this place for the first time, it did not disappoint!! We've heard about it so much from our kids. Instead of dining in we called in our order and got it to go. The 4 guys that were working were ALL SO KIND!!! It was the eve before Super Bowl. Our chicken sandwiches didn't disappoint and they disappeared rather quickly. There were so many flavors that all came together. The taste was so outstanding! We can't wait to come back.

Was visiting for a travel ball tournament and this place came in clutch for late evening takeout! We ordered the Thai Salad with Beef, the Brussels Sprouts and the Banh Mi with Chicken - everything was amazing!
