| - The only thing good about this place was our waitress.
I went for brunch with my sister and a friend, and by the end of the meal we were so disappointed we just wanted to get out of there, never to speak of it again. I don't know why yelpers are giving The Common House so many stars, so I'll give it 1 star so you can realistically know what to expect.
We started with drinks - I had a Mimosa (it was ok) and they had Bloody Marys that they sent back, but for $3 I didn't expect much.
Next, we ordered the fried green tomatoes as an appetizer, and they were not as tender or seasoned as they should have been (I know how to make these and mine are wayyyy better), plus the chipotle dip didn't taste right with that dish.
We thought that maybe the main dishes would fare better, but we were wrong. I ordered the common house breakfast special (eggs, sweet potato hash browns, bacon, grapes, bread, and that bad fried green tomato) which was ok, but I felt the sweet potato "hash browns" (the only reason I ordered the breakfast) were misrepresented. They were just sauteed potato cubes and they weren't all sweet potatoes.
My sis ordered the shrimp burger which she promptly sent back because of it's fishy taste. My friend ordered the southern chicken which was slightly burnt, causing her to call the meal "depressing".
Overall it was a disappointing experience, and I will never subject myself to that again.
