The Common

First time at The Common, and it was SO GOOD! Great service overall. Chicken Liver (really delicious) and Cavatelli was amazing even our toddler loved it. Had the chicken and waffles with egg, DELICIOUS. Beet salad and potato appetizers as well really good.. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxing. Also had high chairs for the kiddos. Will definitely be returning to try other plates on the menu. Very nice brunch/lunch spot for anyone!

Amazing brunch and lunch spot! It’s fast becoming our go to spot! Everything we’ve ordered this far has been delicious. There are many more items on the menu that we want to try so we will definitely be coming back!

P.S. don’t let the crazy wait time deter you. They usually tell us 45 min to 1 hour wait and then we get called within a half hour.

Officially one of my new favorite spots, the food was super delicious with many unique options (so I’ll definitely be back for more) and the staff was friendly. I gave the chef a compliment on my way out and he was very courteous and thankful. Had the sausage skillet, quinoa bowl with pulled pork, and we topped it off with the skillet pancake. They don’t take reservations but the wait was under 20 minutes. Highly recommend, great place 👌

Had the most wonderful breakfast with my fiancé while visiting Bay Ridge. We had the three poached eggs with meatball stew in a skillet and the avocado breakfast burrito. Food is delicious and we had a great window seat to soak in the sun. Amazing atmosphere. Would definitely return again. 🍳 ❤️

What a delightful spot for brunch! The skillets are delicious, comes out hot and with a generous portion. They do not take reservations; my wait time was about 15 minutes. Plenty of attention to detail from their table setting to wall decor. Had takeout of their pierogi and it was delicious after a quick warm up in the microwave. Quality of service was superb, with a warm farewell from the staff as I exited the restaurant.

This is a very lovely restaurant. Food are delicious. Staffs are super nice and polite. Great menu selection for breakfast and lunch. I will definitely come back and try again.

Had brunch with friends and although the reviews I read, warned me of young servers, I decided to give it a try. The restaurant is small but clean and the service extremely slow. It took almost 20 minutes to get coffee. We ordered the chicken and waffles (interesting flavor with cheddar but chicken was overcooked and it was just a thigh cutlet so won't order again); Latin Breakfast and California Omelet (other dishes were enjoyed). The worse part of our experience was when I asked for water and then my friend did the same, the server took my glass and placed it in between her arm pit and breast. I would not eat here again.

We live in the area and finally we got the chance to taste the food at this cafe. The place is cozy and the food is delicious and healthy. The staff is very polite and welcoming. They definitely know what a customer service is. Food on time, coffee on time, need to share a plate - that’s noted too without you asking of it. Will definitely be coming back here for breakfast

My friend and I went to the Common for brunch. It has a smaller (but nice) dining room, so we had a short wait. To be fair, we came during brunch on a Sunday. They took our number so we were able to shop nearby until a table was ready.

The service was friendly, and the food was really good. In particular, I liked the potatoes, which tasted clean even though they were fried.

Great variety of brunch and lunch options. Foods got real rich and great flavor, not your typical standard diner food - it's got some flair. Shared the smashed young potatoes, which has great toppings but wish they were hasselback potatoes. Also got myself the grilled sausage with baked eggs skillet - really nice and filling. Skillet pancakes were fluffy - tasted like a marriage between corn bread and a cinnabon. Overall a great menu, service was excellent. Place can fill up quick due to the limited amount of tables, so plan ahead.
