Common Grounds — Restaurant in Spearfish

Usually our favorite place in town. Very unprofessional today however as one owner said to us at 5:38pm on a Wednesday “I think they’re kicking you out” immediately after they shut off the music. The business closes at 6pm. Not only did they kick us out 22 minutes early in the middle of our work and conversation, but they did so with very poor and unprofessional communication. We were surprised and taken back by their approach and demeanor during the interaction. We understand and respect a mom and pop closing early, and we love the atmosphere of mom and pops especially this place, however it is unacceptable and simply wrong to have paying customers leave over 20 minutes before closing and to do so by saying “I think they’re kicking you out.” We asked if we could stay 10 minutes longer and she replied “I don’t know, I don’t have the key”. I wish them all the best with the circumstances that arose to cause them to treat repeat customers, or any customers, with that demeanor. I would be ashamed as a business owner.

As you can see from their response to my review, their communication is very unprofessional. They could have said they had something to do involving family and that would have been professional and right. Says a lot about a grown man who is comfortable speaking online but not in person, to their own customers. Sad and pathetic. All the best to your father. Won’t be entering this...

I came here with my family and everything was awful! We got 3 breakfast items and 3 coffees. The breakfast items (a burrito and two sandwiches) were ice cold! The burrito was slimy and had salsa when they said it had tomatoes and it was so disgusting we sent it back and replaced it with a bagel and chive cream cheese that was also not great. One of the sandwiches was a bacon, egg, and cheese on a croissant. The bacon was expired and disgusting, the egg was fake and rubbery and the croissant was extremely stale. The other sandwich was a sausage, egg, and cheese on a bagel and it was cold and tasted weird. The drip coffee was extremely watery and very weak. The cold brew tasted like water and cream not like a coffee. I had to send it back it was so bad. the latte was ok nothing special and it also had a weird taste. It was one of the worst places I have ever been to and I will not be coming back. The food and the coffee was awful and overpriced and the workers had no idea what they were doing. I also think that they over charged me on the food and...

Ordered 3 breakfast items and 3 coffees. Two coffees were good (drip and iced latte) but the cold brew was like water. It's just ice, barely brewed coffee and milk. Disgusting.

The breakfast sandwich with sausage was cold but ok. The breakfast sandwich with bacon on a croissant was gross. The bacon tasted expired and the croissant was stale. The eggs on both are from the microwave. The other breakfast ordered was the southwest burrito (egg, Swiss, sausage, green pepper, onion, cream cheese on tomato tortilla) but the veggies were ice cold, the tomatoes we're actually salsa, it was all so wet and slimy from being ice cold...after 2 bites I couldn't eat it. I asked for a replacement and ended up with a bagel and cream cheese...which was highly mediocre (chive cream cheese wasn't great) and about $4 cheaper then what I paid.

It was over $30 for the worst meal we've had on our month vacation. And I'm pretty sure we were over charged....but who would know since they don't bother to put prices on their...
