Fantastic food! Love that they change it up with lots of food specials. Drink menu is second to none.

We had a reservation for 2@ 7. We checked in @635. We was told our table wasn't ready. Three sets of parties came in after with the same amount of people in their party as us. They was seated before us. When we stepped outside the reservation was canceled. I will never be back to spend my money there.

Great atmosphere and we are more than happy to pay the premium for something different from a typical outing in the area. However, we left feeling like we overpaid for the food. Much of what we were served was pretty good but still only worth perhaps half what it was priced on the menu, and that's being generous. This place would be much closer to perfect if they're food was as as the prices suggested. Either food quality needs to improve or pricing needs to decrease. We won't be returning until one or both of those change.

A beautiful upscale family environment with amazing food! A lot of creativity with the themed restrooms, the outdoor space for kids, the pickleball courts, and a Speakeasy. Fun for all ages! We loved the brunch and the servers were all so friendly. I would give them a 10 star if I could. If you need a place for an event, it’s perfect. You can’t go wrong! Check them out!

I give it 4 stars overall because there are no 5 star restaurants in Bell County... maybe Alexanders, but I haven't been there in a while. Commonwealth has GREAT craft cocktails and a spectacular bar. Please buy better bar stools. We'll stay and spend more if we're comfortable. Your house-made sauces are amazing (poblano cream sauce is a religious experience). Love the peach cobbler. The chocolate cake is moist, but the sugar content is so high it is hard to taste the chocolate. The chop chop is great - nice addition to the menu. Moist, flavorful, perfect. Paired with mashed potatoes that defy description. Pro-tip - use the same quality potato in your potato salad. When the two are side by side, the potato salad goes back uneaten. The secret to success is always high quality ingredients prepared from scratch. Keep up the good work!

Very cool vibe. It's the first time there just for drinks, but I will definitely go back and try the food.

Wonderful place to watch and/or play pickleball with friends and family outdoors. We got Brussels sprouts, burger, and peach cobbler which were all great. Nice and chill atmosphere. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful!

First off I want to say this is a beautiful place to come meet friends and drinks. I have been during the day and night. I am not a member nor do I wish to be one. Due to the price. I do not play pickle ball. It’s looks really fun but it’s just something I have not tried. When we walked in there was five people at the hostess desk. I don’t understand why they had so many. We had reservations and they did seat us promptly. We ordered and the waitress was super sweet. It took 45 or more for our food to arrive. They had ran out of glasses so they gave us styrofoam cups. The food is not good. Very bland. No salt no pepper and none on the tables. For the price it’s just not worth eating there. I left hungry because the food was just not good. Again to hang out and drink it’s great but no food!

1st time here for a birthday party. Had to be moved as the space was too space but the staff was amazing. The venue is beautiful and great if you're looking for something different. There are pickleball courts and other outdoor games, with traditional and untraditional comfy seating.

We visited Commonwealth at its opening time, 5 PM, and the building is stunning—high-end finishes and a great ambiance. The staff was attentive, and the menu looked promising, especially the affordable kids’ menu with six options. However, when the food arrived, it was surprisingly mediocre, both in taste and presentation. Given the upscale atmosphere, we expected more, which left us feeling a bit let down.

After dinner, we hoped to take the kids to the Pickleball courts, but accessing them was unnecessarily complicated. Instead of a simple check-out process, we were directed to download an app, schedule a time, and pay $30, despite the courts being empty. This felt like a huge missed opportunity, as a simpler approach could have made the space more inviting. Commonwealth has potential, but improving these areas could elevate the experience to match its beautiful setting.
