    We went to Common Man Roadside for their kids Christmas brunch and had a WONDERFUL time. All the staff were so friendly and fun with the kids. Santa was excellent and we all had a really great time. I look forward to going to this event with our littles for years to come. I also get coffee and the occasional meal from here and am never disappointed. Again, the servers and baristas are awesome and I love the food.

    Overall it was a very good visit. Large improvement from prior visits. The host stand had the longest wait. They had us stand there for about 10 minutes before even acknowledging us, but then sat us immediately. The service was perfect. She was very attentive and kept the drinks full. The food was better than before. We had one burger that wasn’t great, bit well seasoned and over cooked and our Brussels app was a tad undercooked but everything else for the party of 6 was good. Music was a tad too loud IMO. Would go again.
