Had an early dinner here and it was great. The food was good and the drinks were really well crafted. I really loved the vibe as well.

Vibes are phenomenal, same as service. I’m usually served by Emily and she’s always wonderful. One of the best chicken sandwiches in GR.

Mood times 1000. Will be back for sure. Food was delicious and we should have shared there was so much. We missed the pic of the food. We did the two alcohol free cocktails, meatloaf and fish and chips. All was fantastic, the only thing better was the atmosphere. So glad we stumbled upon

I had never been here before and it was SO good. The food was wonderful, the ranch was some of the best I’ve had, and server A was absolutely hilarious and super charming. I’d definitely go back!!

The 70's vibe in this restaurant is so cool. There's an ambient lounge vibe to the place. The food is amazing. I had the crispy chicken salad, which is similar to a cobb salad. This was really tasty. The ranch is also really good. The martini espressos were STRONG, also.

I've been going to The Commons for a while now and it's my favorite neighborhood spot. The food and drinks are always spot on, and it's a nice cozy atmosphere. Workers are great and take care of anyone who comes in.

The Commons is a lovely hidden gem. The atmosphere is cozy and nostalgic, the drinks are delicious, and the spinach and artichoke dip is one of the best I've tried. I would give 5 stars, but I am holding out due to the fact that two years in a row I've been served borderline cold mac and cheese. A year ago I went and had the street corn mac. The flavors were fantastic but I couldn't forget that the food came out cold. A year later I decided to get back on the horse and hope that they figured it out, but alas, it came out cold again. Our server didn't come back soon enough for me to be able to ask to have it reheated. I find cold food to be extremely unpleasant, so I give 4 stars. Aside from this recurring mishap, I love everything about The Commons.

The location is different because it's on the corner of a large old apartment building set back from the street. It's not where you would expect to find a restaurant. As far as parking you will have to find something along the street. The atmosphere was a little dark, comfortable, and very unique and we liked it. My wife had the meat loaf and I had the goulash, both very good and serving size was almost ridiculously large. I really liked the herb rolls that came with the goulash. I would definitely try it again.

Great food and service. It was a bit too dark and the music was too loud. Besides that it was a great time.

We came when they first opened and it was a really good brunch vibe. Came back to try lunch today and it took 10 minutes to get seated (only 5 tables & we were unfortunately definitely noticed). Very long spans for server check in with us. Only one food mod and it was forgotten. Just unfortunate service. The food was decent which really was the only thing saving this. We probably won’t be back or at least not for a while to allow turnover.
