Both my friend and I had stomach issues after having brunch there. Except for that, food was tasteless.

Very cool vibe , silverbacks, families, and footy fans!! The commoner burger is the best in the city!!!

Food is ok, the service is terrible. I sat down and got ignored for 10 minutes. A lady sat next to me and got water and asked what she wanted right away. I had to ask for water to the buzz girl who brought my food. Finished my beer and got ignored again for like 15 minutes, asked for the bill and took off. The 18% tip felt like charity.

I just finished throwing up and going through other unpleasant food poisoning symptoms after having Tuna Tataki at this restaurant. Upon looking at the reviews, it appears as though this also occasionally happened to other customers too. Everything else about the visit was fine. The server was friendly and approachable. Even though both my parents received medium rare burgers, they promptly remade it when one of my parents pointed it out. I rarely leave any reviews on Google but this is the first time I ever got food poisoning from dining out in Toronto. Very disappointed and will not be back even though the place is cute.

Sat on patio first time this summer. Awesome!

Went for dinner here the other night. The service from Tim was the best I've had in Toronto in the past 6 months. Highly recommend. if the Commoner staff read this please pass it along to Tim!

My group of four all really enjoyed the food we ate at The Commoner and thought it was excellent. It was a Friday evening and we were seated right away. The food was served promptly, and the atmosphere was lively, with many animated conversations going on. It was a good choice!

Nice ambiance dining, great food, very friendly staff

I visited on April 26 and had a burger. GOT A MAJOR FOOD POISONING AFTER (if you scroll down there are more reviews of people getting food poisoning there). I filed a complaint with Toronto Public Health.

Great spot for brunch or dinner. Bright and spacious, but I would make a reservation, especially on weekends. Friendly staff and delicious food.
Had an amazing brunch experience! Our server, Rachel, was fantastic—super attentive, friendly, and made us feel so welcome. She recommended the breakfast sandwich, and wow, it did not disappoint! My partner and I absolutely loved it. The food was delicious, the service was top-notch, and we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

One of the best places in the neighbourhood, hands down. Amazing food, super cozy and sophisticated ambience, friendly staff (shoutout to Duncan who made our group’s night superb,) if you haven’t been, definitely make it a priority.
This is a culmination of 4 separate visits. Overall, I only have good things to say! Cocktails are great, and so is the selection of beer! But for some more detailed notes on the items on the menu that I’ve tried, read below:
The Nashville chicken sandwich or plate are amazing, and so is the Poké bowl!
Definitely do NOT pass on the donuts! Absolutely incredible!
Nachos. Pretty good, too many beans not enough cheese. Huge serving, but not my favourite.
The whipped feta app is phenomenal. I’m so glad I tried it after almost passing on it.
Parm fries and the aioli are delicious. Great app, or upgrade to the fries.
Burgers are fine, but I’d try other items on the menu well before them.
Just can’t speak to the tacos but they’re probably great! Also can’t speak to the brunch, but based on the reviews of others, it really doesn’t look like it’s their strength.
As a last note, thank you to all the great staff that have tended to us on all the visits. You guys are amazing!

Went for brunch over the weekend. They were able to seat us pretty quickly. Ordered the eggs Benedict - they were kind enough to sub the meat for avocado. The meal was great. Potatoes were very crunchy and delicious. The bennies were just a bit soggy which was a bummer.

Nice spot, but there was a piece of paper in my pancake and they gave me $1 off for the inconvenience… Yes $1. A little bizarre but the food was otherwise good.

Just had a great brunch experience. Our Kiwi host was a legend. The commoner breakfast was top notch. I can't believe the house croissant is only 3 bucks, very delish! Highly recommended alround!! 💪
