-Intro: As I'm preparing to write this I'm on the fence of…read morewhether this place is a 4 or a 5/5. I'm very conflicted. First off this place is just on the side of the road kind of out in the middle of nowhere. Nothing but orchards before and after it until you hit the city and the freeway. While the main building itself seems a tad small from the outside, there's still a decent number of tables. And if that isn't enough, they have an entire covered seating area directly next to the building. -Offerings: As for food offerings, they have a good amount. They have their standard cheeseburgers that come standard as a single to a triple. Then they have their special burger/sandwiches. For example they have a cheeseburger that also comes with a fried chicken patty. -Prices: Seeing the price of the signature burgers, and not even talking about the combo prices, I was already a bit off put. That pushed me to end up ordering a double cheeseburger (add bacon) combo which after tax, tip and credit card fee (unmentioned) wound up to be $30.49. $30+ for a single combo at a fast casual restaurant is absolutely absurd to me under MOST circumstances. I just had this feeling I was in for a huge disappointment. These are like big city fancy burger restaurants prices. -Food: While they weren't slow, the food definitely did not come out fast. I can fully appreciate the time it took to cook the food properly though. The crinkle fries were as perfectly cooked as you could possibly get them. Golden brown crisp on the outside and fully cooked on the inside. I'm not sure what kind of bun they use but it had a hint of sweetness to it. It was pillowy soft yet durable as it held up well. The patties were juicy and flavorful and I loved the cheese too. I'm not sure how many ounces their patties are but these things were BIG; they ended up being wider than the buns. I definitely had some slippage so I wish I kept the paper wrapping to hold it together more until I ate more of the burger. I got 3 different sauces to try: house sauce, ranch and spicy ranch. I highly recommend the spicy ranch for the fries as that was my favorite. -Final thoughts: I've had some VERY good burgers at multiple price points and size ranges over the years. While the fries were great and the burger had some heft to it, I struggle to justify a burger combo at that price point, especially for a fast casual restaurant. No, the fact that they are a fast casual restaurant doesn't factor THAT heavily into the review, but it is still worth noting for anyone who just wants a good burger at a decent price point. Had this been a special burger (with smoked meats, fancy cheeses or toppings etc) I can see the justification for the pricing a little easier but considering that this is a basic bacon double cheeseburger, although a good one, I cannot justify giving them a 5/5. On taste alone a 5/5 for the area, but factoring everything in, 4/5.

Sadly disappointed…read more My friends and I stopped by Commonwealth on a Saturday afternoon for a late brunch. It was a beautiful day so it was busy for both indoor and outdoor seating. Here, you order your food, grab a number, and find your own seat for the food to be brought out to you. We sat at a table outside to decide what to order. There were no menus available so we just had to search for it online before heading inside to order. Despite being third in line from the register, we had an extremely long wait to order. There was only one person running the register who also had to make the drinks, meaning the service incredibly slow. We wanted to order the five taco platter, garlic fries, chicken Caesar salad, and mimosa pitcher. Sadly, we were only able to get the pitcher and salad. The cashier told us "sorry, we aren't doing fries right now." Not doing fries? Every plate in the vicinity had fries on them. She said that because it was brunch hour, only food on the brunch menu could be ordered. We looked at the brunch menu again and literally saw garlic fries as an option as a side for the burgers/sandwiches. No where did it specify that you can't order off the other menu and both were available online. What bothered us about this is that we placed this order at around 1:50pm, and brunch ended at 2:00pm. I understand that we are not entitled to things on the lunch menu during brunch-time for items like the tacos, but considering the menu swap was less than 10 minutes away and they were quite literally were "doing fries" at the time, it didn't make much sense to us. The only food that we ended up ordering was the Chicken Caesar Salad. This one dish took a super long time to receive. By the time it was brought out, the three of us nearly finished the Mimosa pitcher. The waitress noticed we had no silverware and said she would go grab us some. Because of how the service had been going thus far, we placed a bet on whether or not the waitress would come back with the silverware. Surprise, surprise. She didn't. We had to go inside later and search for silverware ourselves. We weren't even able to get sharing plates which was upsetting since the waitress asked us if we would be sharing the salad. The salad itself looked delicious, but was bland. The dressing was missing that zing and zest that a Caesar dressing typically has. I do appreciate that is was a chopped salad, had avocado, and seasoned croutons. It is just unfortunate that it was lacking any flavor at all. The food prices are quite affordable for the quantity of food you receive though. This experience was disappointing because I was so optimistic about the place. The menu looked good, it had fun and casual vibes and a cool crowd of people. If Commonwealth worked towards better service practices, it would have been a more positive experience.

Typical Thursday dinner for me at this establishment. Always greeted with a smile and a "welcome…read morein". The servers are friendly and always willing to help by grabbing you an extra sauce or two. Country music is the vibe here, after all this is "Oakdale bud!" Tonight we had the half fries and I had the Big Kahuna Burger. Pulled pork with pineapple and beef patty with all the fixings topped off with a hushpppy. The husband ordered the Smash Burger with one piece of cheese since 3 is too cheesy for him. If you love cheese keep it as is. One last thing the servers work very hard and you will see them clearing a table as your meal is finished and always keeping the floors clean as well. Will definitely return and probably sooner rather than later.
