This was our third time eating at the Uncommon Grill and it did not disappoint. We had the Brussels sprouts and candied bacon as appetizers. The Brussels sprouts were cooked perfectly with pieces of bacon- crunchy/crispy with a touch of sweetness. The candied bacon came hanging on the line- amazing! For entrees we ordered a Top of the Morning burger, a crab cake burger, and a Cesar salad with grilled salmon. Everything was delicious. The Top of the Morning burger was cooked to order, the egg fried perfectly cooked, the corned beef hash was tasty and the egg ran as it was supposed to when the burger was cut in half. The crab cake burger was delicious with pieces of crab clearly visible. The dressing on my salad was perfectly distributed with very wispy shavings of Parmesan cheese. The salmon was perfectly cooked. It had a beautiful crust and juicy inside. Everything was AMAZING! For desert we ordered a berry tart with a nut-crusted scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. The tart was not overly sweet and you could taste the different spices, and with a bit of the ice cream- it was a perfect bite and a delicious end to our meal. We will definitely be back.

I went to this establishment with 2 of my friends over the weekend and we had an excellent experience! We opted for the outdoor seating as it was a beautiful perfect day to sit outdoor. We did not have any issues with our main dishes ordered and enjoyed the food immensely! Also shout out to our waiter brynlie and I apologize if I spelled that wrong! She was absolutely wonderful and very on top of ensuring we received perfect service! Also shout out to the waitstaff outdoors as they were also very observant and ensured that they cleared off our plates immediately after finishing with something. The only thing I would not recommend ordering from this establishment is their dessert cake slices. We ordered 3 cake slices to go and were extremely disappointed in the quality of the slices. All slices were dry, overly sweet, and had a processed frosting flavor to them. We ordered 1 carrot and 2 pistachio slices. I’m doubling down on this place again as it always blows me away! Went here with a few of my coworkers recently and we were all super content with our food 🤞🏾☺️

Updated review October 10, 2020: My in-laws invited us out to dinner, so I decided to give this place a second try; wish I could give zero stars. We had a 4:30 reservation, we arrived 10 minutes early and were seated by our reserved time. Service was as painfully slow as I remembered previously, we didn't even get silverware until about 45mins after being seated, when I took it upon myself to go into the restaurant to get it because our waitress was nowhere to be seen. The cilantro sriracha wings were good this time, as was the pretzel; pretzel sauces were a stone ground mustard & velveeta-based cheese sauce, which were lacking, but the pretzel was good enough on it's own. Our sons chicken fingers & fries came out about 30minutes after ordering it; he finished eating before we received our meals. We didn't get our food until at least an hour after ordering it. I ordered a steak, "black and blue" waitress said "rare?" I reaffirmed "black and blue, so very rare" my steak arrived medium well. I didn't get a chance to send it back until about 45minutes after it had landed at the table, by that point everyone had finished eating, having not touched it outside of the initial cut to check doneness, I requested it be removed from the bill and left hungry. We requested the check at 6:25, and got it by 6:27 - that was the fastest service we received all evening; all in all it was a disappointing 2hr adventure, and we will not be going back. Review from June 2019: Oh man where to begin. Dining room is too loud, so we opted to sit outside. Cilantro sriracha wings were mediocre, basically sriracha sauce over some wings. Calamari was actually pretty good, the wasabi aioli was dreadful however, so skip it. The biggest disappointment for me however was the short rib poutine, they destroyed the fried egg on top, rendering the yolk hard/fully cooked through and the bottom and edges of the white a blackened mess. Beyond that the "mozzarella cheese curds" appeared and tasted to be just melted cheese, and some of it was orange cheddar to boot. My son's "flat bread" was actually Italian bread with sauce and cheese on it, which was good, but definitely not flat bread. My wife's burger was good, aside from the bacon which was simultaneously overcooked yet limp and chewy at the same time, a real feat. Vodka cranberry did not taste right, either it wasn't cranberry juice or it was surplus from WW2, they brought a second, which turned out to be the same one, just cycled back from our table to the bar and back, I'm assuming taking it for a walk might have helped in their minds. It was removed from our bill however, so there is that. Service was very slow on top of everything; and the wait staff kept forgetting things, even though they were entering everything into a tablet. Would not suggest it to anyone who enjoys food or going to a restaurant, unless you enjoy being disappointed.

TUG is a welcome addition to the area... having heard good things I recently stopped in with company to see what all the fuss was about. The decor is modern n hip w/ industrial elements to go along with an upbeat vibe. Servers are constantly on the go and the crowd seems lively here. Our server had a great attitude and was very attentive, so points there. The menu has a great list of food and drinks that have a twist or flair to them you don't see often. We started off the the uncommon roasted cauliflower app and it was a knocc out paired w/their signature burrata bread (worth the trip alone). A great way to start the meal for sure. My partner had calamari while I ordered their famed chicken& pancakes. All in all the portions are huge which makes the price fair, the food itself is delicious (though one piece of chicken felt slightly over fried, either that or they need to change the oil) the overall vibe is a win and the cocktail menu has me wanting to return all on its own. Def worth a shot guys!!

I really wish this restaurant wasn’t so far from me but when I’m in the area, I look forward to eating here again. The French onion soup was AMAZING! The salad was delicious with good portioning. My husband had gotten the stuffed peppers & wasn’t too much of a fan but they were still pretty good. Would he get again though? No. Also…I would totally recommend getting the fried cinnamon toast ice cream for dessert! The service definitely could’ve been better. When we were sat our table was dirty so I asked out waitress if she can clean it up. She went to grab a spray & sprayed around our waters on the table, which I thought was gross. And after seeing the services table next to us was getting with a different waitress… I saw the lack in ours. The other waitress explained the menu & was extremely kind. If it wasn’t for the service- I would’ve given 5 stars. Sat outside- beautiful patio, beautiful flowers. Very relaxing.
