Commonwealth is a nice place that serves a very good selection of craft beer and for the most part lunch items. It is quite good. You order at the counter and they bring your food out to you. The servers are very nice and the entire staff seems pretty happy. We were very comfortable there. The place is super clean, including the bathrooms. It is not large, but I bet it can get crowded. It was not when we were there for lunch. Their craft beer is excellent, but what we really wanted was a decent lunch. We were able to get that at Commonwealth. It is not the very best in Modesto as far as lunch, but if you want craft beer and lunch this is the place you need to be. All of the food we had was very good. We had burgers that were cooked right and nice and juicy. We also had a variety of tacos. We really liked the chicken tacos. The prices are fair. Their garlic fries are super good. We also loved their onion rings which they make there. The batter is wonderful. We were very happy. Have the best time.

I was actually really surprised with how good this place is. I was visiting the area and decided to give it a try because of the reviews. I order the Bbq Chicken Bonanza and paired it with the Dark Valentine Sour Beer. The sandwich was AMAZING and had a nice subtle kick to it with the grilled jalapeños. I'm not much of a beer drinker but there's a good selection of local beers to try from. The prices were pretty cheap as well. My friend also had some of the tacos and said he thought they were really good. I would definitely recommend trying this place out. The only thing I thought could be better would be there were hardly any TVs to watch any sports games (which I just thought there would be) but I'm nitpicking at this point. Definitely try it out

Definitely a hidden chill spot. Perfect for after work beers and not-so-healthy food sometimes ya crave. Smashburger was good. Pickles are top notch and also fries are really well done. It's a nice medium between In-n-Out and McDonald's. Beer selection is really really solid. Whoever is ordering the beer, keep doing it. Dark Horse is my hometowns most popular beer so it was nice seeing it here too. Also one of 5 spots in all of Modesto that carry Russian River and Fieldwork beers on tap and to-go. Parking was kind of a joke even at 1 p.m. on a Thursday. But circle the block a couple times you'll find something. Will recommend widely. Menu posted date (5/1/25)

We were in a hurry and at the same time hungry. So we picked whatever restaurant came first on the list. Commonwealth was the first to show up so we just went in and ordered our food. Honestly, we didn't expect the food would be that good. Their tacos were so delicious that we wanted to order more, but as i said we were in a hurry lol. Also, the workers there were so friendly and welcoming. I deducted one star only because there's no good beverage choices to choose from. But still, i recommend you to try their food, especially their tacos, you won't regret it 😁👌

Ive seen this place numerous times as I've been to the movies downtown. I've always gotten the impression that it was very trendy and I would feel underdressed. When I saw it on diners drive ins and dives, my illusions were shattered. I ordered this Waffle Madame, as I had seen it on the show. Wow it did NOT disappoint. The meal was amazing! I paired it with a beer board and got to try some new beers I'd never tried. I will definitely be back as soon as I'm in love with it! But the temptation to stay with the Waffle Madame might be overpowering.

This place was the shiznit. The food was great, the service was friendly, and the beer selection was large. I'm not even sure what more I would want out of a restaurant to be honest. We got the Bacon, Garlic, Parmesan, Jalapeno Fries (Yep all those on one pile of crispy fries). It lived up to the name imo. Would definitely get again. I got the M80 w/ Friend Chicken w/ a side of chips. It was full of flavor, and the chips were even excellent! My wife got the Banh Mi tacos and she definitely liked them. We plan to head there again in the future.
