Went to Commonwealth for the first time last week. I gave them four stars because: Price: reasonable pricing for entrées and appetizers. I actually thought it would be more expensive since it’s downtown. Location and Parking: Parking downtown can be a pain but it’s not awful. We parked around the corner and walked to the restaurant. Dine-In Ordering: they don’t have waiters so you have to order at the front, with the take out orderers and alcohol orderers. Kind of a pain. Time to get order: it took an hour to get our food. They were busy but it seems they don’t have enough cooks or the kitchen isn’t big enough for a full restaurant. Staff: polite and helpful. A waiter/ress or two may help speed up service. Food: the potato nachos were amazing. The M80 sandwich was good too. Tacos were somewhat plain. Garlic fries had a bit too much garlic and too concentrated (not spread enough over the fries). Overall it was a good experience and we...
Read moreFood was quite good but the service was horrible! The guy that ‘served’ us obviously didn’t want to be there nor did he seem to like people. Unfortunately when you go in, you pay & tip at the same time. I’d HIGHLY suggest not tipping until after you’ve eaten. He didn’t even have to fake being friendly to get a tip. (We ate there for lunch on Easter Sunday.) We SERIOUSLY wish we could’ve gotten every penny of our tip back! The owner needs to SERIOUSLY re-evaluate his employees & especially the male server. He should not be in any type of job that deals with people. Also, my friend asked for his elder father’s cup of coffee to be refilled & the ‘server’ pointed back & told him to ‘go get it’. Not only was he incredibly rude but we found out that he had to pay for another cup of coffee. We won’t be going back unless it’s To Go, but then we also don’t want to support a business where we’re not treated with...
Read moreHorrible customer service from the lady behind the bar area. If you are looking for an easy lawsuit because you have a food allergy, go see her because she will insure that you have a valid case against this place. After we ordered our food and drinks, she continued to slam beer after beer behind the counter and play on her phone. Before food came, they came to tell my girlfriend that they didn’t have cheddar cheese and so they put American on it. Food came, burger and fries cold even though burger was burnt up. No napkins at the table, or anywhere for that matter. A few tables down received their cheddar cheese skirt burger after we received our food, guess they got cheddar after all. The beer was the only saving grace to this visit on a St. Patty’s Day weekend. Save your money on this establishment as Turlock has far better service and...
