A fantastic hidden gem! The atmosphere was unique and authentic, the food was amazing (highly recommend the wings), and the service was top notch. The place is a little hidden but totally worth it - you won't be disappointed.

We went to The Commons for the first time last night. We had a great experience start to finish!! The vibe was great, the staff were amazing and the food was delicious. A special shout out to the waiter and kitchen staff who accommodated my dietary restrictions with so much care. Not only did the waiter make note and was very knowledgeable about the food I could safely eat, but a member of the kitchen came out and talked through ingredients and modifications with me. This alone will keep us coming back. Thanks for a wonderful experience!!

I really want to like this restaurant, but I did not feel welcome on my first visit.

My party of 3 were sat at a table and waited about 15-20 minutes to meet our wait person. The restaurant was not super busy at the time. Unfortunately the front counter and wait person were very cold. This made me very comfortable as I felt like I was an inconvenience dining here. The redeeming factor is the brunch wet burrito was absolutely phenomenal!

I will be happy to update my review when I give The Commons a second chance.

Friendly staff, music wasn’t too loud, variety of food options, and reasonably priced.

I ordered the burger and it was delicious. 10/10 will come back again and make it into a date night with my wife.

I ordered takeout but had time to sit down and the waitress was more than happy to accommodate my last minute request. Hidden gem!

It's a very interesting restaurant. It's kinda tucked away in a large building but once you're inside, it's hidden gem.

When first walking in, you'll find plenty of seating and a bar. The dark-office/bar ambiance really sets the mood to the place.

The hostess/host staff are very friendly and will make you feeling welcome. The decor also invites a nice atmosphere that draws you in.

Now the food...the food is great. The straight cut fries are very well made and ours was extra crispy like. The Nashville hot chicken sandwich has a nice sweetness to it with a light kick. The fish and chips are very reminiscent to a corn dog but very good too. The appetizers are generous and could be a full meal themselves.

This place is a great place to socialize with your friends or a nice date night.

Genuinely the best mac n cheese of my life. The service was fast and friendly, and the atmosphere was really unique! Stopped by on a whim since most restaurants in the area were closed on Sunday, and was just blown away by how cool it was.

Vegetarian options: There are multiple and labeled vegetarian options, like the Mac n cheese is vegetarian but you have the option to add fried or grilled chicken
