This is a great place. Very comfortable and welcoming. Jen the manager and Joe the barkeep are both on point. Joe makes a sensational Hendricks with fresh muddled cucumber. Friendly place. If you are staying at the Wyndham around the block forget every other joint on Market and duck into CWOC. Short rib to die for. One of the best burgers in the city. Low country cooking with toned down flair and authenticity. Oysters are more on point than Jen and Joe, well close anyway. It's the perfect prelude to a stogey at Harry's on 3rd. Give it a shot you'll love Common Wealth.
Excellent food and atmosphere! They were were very accommodating for us when we came in with our infant � the oyster mushroom ravioli was out of this world!
Came here for brunch and we all enjoyed the delicious southern style food in a nice cozy atmosphere. Potatoes were somewhat over cooked; service was decent - could smile a bit more:) otherwise I do like their brunch.
Great quality food. I went on my 1hr lunch break for brunch with my best friend. We had plenty of time for a drink and to eat. Service was quick. I ordered the Southern Comfort Benedict. It was amazing. Will be returning.
I went to Common Wealth for brunch. And if theres one thing I love more than brunch, it's southern food. Well, this place delivered on both. The staff was extremely friendly, the food was flavourful, and the cocktails were unique. You definitely want to check this place out.
I'm becoming a fan of this place. I've been for a weekday lunch twice recently, and once for dinner during restaurant week- that was a rookie mistake, and I should've known better. Service has consistently been on point, my friends are always surprised by how good their coffee is. I really enjoyed the Shrimp Po Boy, next time I'll get to work on their cocktail list!
This is without a doubt the best restaurant in Philadelphia! We ordered the stew, watermelon salad and braised short rib, each of which tasted amazing! The wait staff was very welcoming and attentive. Last but not least, my wallet felt good afterwards as well.
Service was friendly and food was amazing! Girlfriend said it was one of the best soups she ever had during restaurant week.
Went there for brunch. We are picky eaters and we're visiting town, and this place really amazed us. The food presentation might need a little tweak but the over all flavor was absolutely Amazing! It taste like homemade food. The service was great, genuine and sweet.
Wonderful neighborhood, close to Franklin Fountain Ice Cream! Nice, chill atmosphere and wonderful, simple, rustic decor. Unfortunately, the first impression was the loud noise, perhaps because Wednesday is $3 off wines (we came at 7pm). So definitely a negative. The wait time is also slow. When the food came, we were excited. The portions were decent, and we were definitely full (2 small plates, the shrimp and grits, and fries). The plating was nice, though the color was not vibrant, and so presentation wasn't the best. The taste is solid, especially the others and the shrimp and grits. The scallops were a tad over for me. Overall, worthwhile, potentially if you purchase a Groupon, which I did. Would have been three stars or so without the Groupon.
The service was very attentive and i really enjoyed sitting outside on the side patio. The peanut hummus was excellent and we shared the beef short rib. I am a big fan of the whole menu with the influence on Southern Cuisine from Charleston. The bar did a perfect cocktail. I look forward to returning very soon.
Had another couple in town for the weekend and went to 4 Fathers this past Saturday for brunch. I had the Kennett Pride Mushroom Omelette and a Bloody Mary...very delicious. My wife had the BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich while my friend ordered the Country Fried Chicken biscuit. She was raving about the gravy. We sat outside overlooking Market Street,. Nick, our waiter was attentive and our food came out timely. Overall great experience.
