This was our first visit to Common Ground. We went at 6:30 on a Saturday and there was only one other table occupied. Apparently they were just finishing cleaning up from a TCU watch party so we did have to wait a few minutes for a clean table, but they were great and even brought us a free appetizer to make up for the wait. Alex, our server was great, the food was great. We had the crab cakes, fried pickles, fish&chips, my husband ordered the tenderloin and our kids had cheeseburgers. We enjoyed our dinner outside on the small patio. It definitely has more of a pub/bar feel, but we enjoyed it and will definitely be back.

Didn't realize this is basically a college bar! Food was mediocre They were putting together a beer pong table for the first 15 minutes of our stay and the drill was so loud that we couldn't hear the waiter. Waiter was very nice. Wouldn't go back based on the experience. I went based on the reviews on line but most were not accurate.

We were there for Mother's Day brunch. It was our first time dining there. We were pleased with the eclectic decor. Ordered coffee and bloody Mary's which quickly arrived. Then our table of four had 2 bacon eggs benedicts, 1 migas, 1 bacon and waffles. We were all very pleased with our meals and the service. Nice touch, they had fresh flowers on the table, and as we left, wished me a happy Mother's Day and invited me to take the flowers as a gift. Still pretty in my home. We are delighted to have this welcoming restaurant in our neighborhood.

Welcome addition to the neighborhood! Knowledgeable staff, great food and mixed drinks, and very family friendly! We had the market fish... very moist, nice presentation, and the beets topped it off. The mushroom side is amazing. Burgers, fries, wings (ordered plain), and grilled cheese all very tasty! We will be back soon! Looking forward to the summer menu. Great food without the drive to downtown!
