The Commoner

I have been to the Commoner several times and I would just say it was an OK restaurant. The food is OK. The atmosphere is OK. The service is OK, but they were always able to accommodate our group work parties, which is why we went. The last time we went, which was in June 2024, we had a horrible experience. The first thing is after we ordered our meals, we were told we could not have separate bills, even though the last few times we were there, we did have separate bills. Most of us were not too happy about this and wish we were told earlier. In addition, the waiter was very rude, disrespectful and condescending. For example, when we were paying, she said, “I have other tables to get to!” which, of course, we found very rude. Also, the food was not great. I ordered nachos and they were one of the worst I’ve had. Lastly, I decided to talk to the manager about some of the problems we had mostly with the waiter. She was nice and apologized many times and said she would talk to the waiter. She even took my email saying she would follow up and of course did not! I will never be returning to this establishment and neither will all 12 people in our group. DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME EATING HERE! There are many better options in this area.

Nothing common about The Commoner ! The food here is delicious! I had a Commoner burger & fries. I will definitely be back to try the fish tacos and buttermilk chicken as they looked amazing & my friends really enjoyed theirs. Don’t get me started on their donuts, served warm with a delightful dipping sauce - out of this world!! The staff here are super pleasant, happy & helpful. Rave reviews all around from me and my group -👍🏻

Maybe the best FRESH CUT FRIES in the city.. perfectly salted. Amazing Verity of local beer. Wonderful specials. Burgers are unique with Arugula... Nice location.. it's just not a square. It's a sliver with multiple viewing angles. Nice patio and dog friendly

Can’t knock this place for anything. Loved the cocktails, and had an incredible craft beer selection. The fried chicken sandwich is messy and worth the sticky fingers at the end, so good!

Nice place, the veggie burger is pretty good , it’s actually well spiced !! A big win for people with vegetarian preferences. Ambience and drinks and servers are great too !!

I will start by saying the atmosphere is nice and relaxing and the food is ok. We did not feel welcomed from the moment we arrived. There was some misunderstanding about our reservation. Then, after we had already ordered drinks, they came to tell us they had a new policy, they no longer provide individual bills. The reasoning was the lack of time to process multiple transactions. They had maybe 3 other tables to attend to. We were not asked if we wanted more drinks, we were not asked if we wanted coffee or dessert at the end of our meal. It was a disappointment.

My most recent experience here was disappointing. Be aware that the kitchen closes right at 2:30PM on Saturdays even though the brunch menu says it goes to 3pm. They “allowed” me to order one item, but did so begrudgingly and then didn’t take our drink order, give the rest of the party water glasses or ever check up on us unless we asked for assistance. The table beside us received their order a moment before our table did and the restaurant was busy so it didn’t seem like a quiet time in the service. The hostess and server were unfriendly. We were luckily moved to a much better table and server once the lunch menu opened at 4:00pm.

Seriously incredible brunch! The eggs benny was cooked perfectly, the breakfast burger was so good that when I was taking a bite the smell was the only thing that rivalled the taste. Banana pancakes were gooey in the middle in the best way possible. Dan the bartender was great! 10/10 would come back!

Quite a pleasant evening spent here with friends. Really liked the paratha eith feta cheese dip and the truffle fries were decent. The nachos were not bad, but nothing special. Very good selection of craft beer with a lot of styles and breweries. Service was friendly and efficient

I came in on a Monday, bad mood and such . Not my kind of day. When I tell you this burger was so good, it made me happy. It ain’t no lie. They had this unique beer I’ve never had before it was crisp and perfect on a hot day. The burger was so delicious and perfect it has quickly become my favourite burger in the city. Burger ate my hyper fixation food so believe me. It’s GEWD!
