Great Local Place! It's wonderful to have a place where you can enjoy a meal with someone you might not have seen for awhile

All home made food. Chili with just the right heat, Reuben sandwich with lots of meat and warm ,helpful staff. Best food in Antrim, Bennington and Francestown. Homemade hash, too! read more

We've been going to Common Place Eatery for years and we loved it. Our goto's were the great Patty Melt for me and the Corned Beef Reuben for my wife. We stopped in a couple of weeks ago around 12:20 and were seated, waited for several minutes and no one came by. It appeared there was only one waitress on duty and the place was filled. Would could tell it wasn't going to go well and finally gave up and left. Tried again today at 11:40, the place was filled and once again only one waitress on duty. People sitting at their tables did not look happy as if they had been waiting for a long time so we left again. Hopefully they are only having staffing issues that will be resolved at some point and we can return to one of our favorite spots. read more

It's food you can make at home. And honestly, you could make it better at home. Everyone there was grumpy. We did get there 30 minutes before closing. And they were already turning away customers. I ordered French toast with raspberries and whipped cream and they gave me actual FROZEN raspberries. They were not thawed and put in sugar like normal people. They gave me frozen berries on top of my Lukewarm French toast! And the French toast was bland. My cousin ordered the Irish Benedict and the corn beef hash was chewy like beef jerky. And our potatoes were cold. It's like they were sitting in a bucket outback, and they didn't even reheat it for us. I had to go up to the counter to get my receipt so we could leave because waitors kept walking by us. The only thing that was good was my hot chocolate, and that was most likely a packet of Swiss mix. it's like sitting in grandmothers dining room except not as special or inviting.the prices aren't even worth what they give you! read more

Cozy and friendly. Great Breakfast! The prices are fair and the people who work there are friendly. One of our favorites in NH

This place is decent. It's the local food joint. Post and beam interior. The menu has affordably priced options, mostly typical American fare. Friendly staff and clientele. If you're in the area it won't disappoint, but it's not a destination. read more

Best breakfast and lunch menu. The cook is the owner. What does that tell you? Quality food, tastefully prepared, and the Wait staff treat you as a neighbor. Prices also are in small bills. Can't beat this place! read more

We had lunch here today. We all had fish n chips. It came with Cole slaw. We also ordered a large order of onion rings to go with it. I would definitely recommend this restaurant! It is very clean and very cozy. It's not a huge place but the tables are set up so that you don't feel overcrowded. The decor is really nice and the chairs are super comfy. Our waitress, Lana, was extremely friendly and very helpful. Our haddock was cooked perfectly and the seasoning on the fries was really good. They informed us that the fish is fresh and it was! The coleslaw was also very good. I don't know if they make their own tartar sauce or not but it was very yummy. My dad and I love to dip our fries in tartar sauce. The onion rings with Crispy and oh so good. The prices here are very reasonable. I saw someone and another table eating chicken tenders and they looked really good so I might try that next time. I hope you give it a try. read more

Good service and food. Serves coffee and has a nice feel to the whole place. A great place to grab breakfast or lunch if you're in the area. Downside is that the plates, butter and syrup come out cold. read more

Ok LOVED this local joint! Food was affordable, plentiful, locally sourced and 100% homemade. Staff was beyond friendly, genuinely happy we were there. Here's an example, told waitress I had a crown which popped out earlier that day she suggested two local dentists. Strangely ran into the same waitress two day's later at another restaurant she approached me and asked about my tooth! read more

Common Place Eatery - Cornbeef hash Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Bennington, New Hampshire

I have had take-out lunch on two occasions. I think it is solid. I like the open kitchen and the ability to see their chef throw things together. I had a Turkey Reuben on the one occasion, a salad with fried chicken on the other. Sandwich better than the salad - but the salad was still yummy. I had wished for better variety of veggies in the salad. read more

The proverbial New England eatery. Classic breakfast and lunch dishes well prepared by Jeff, the owner/chef. He frequently has specials to break it up a bit. The prices are very reasonable, too. The Common Place has been a mainstay of this community for over 25 years. read more

This restaurant is a cute little New England eatery located in a small New Hampshire town. This is the second time that we ate here. Due to the distance from our home, we only come here once a year or so. There is extremely generous parking out back in a crushed stone parking lot. You can also park out front on the asphalt road. Both time we ate here a Model T was parked out front. The restaurant itself is in an old building that has been updated but still retains its New England charm. Service is good and friendly. This restaurant seems to attract a significant number of locals and most are 'regulars.' Breakfast was good. I had the poached eggs with home made corned beef. My wife had a scramble with corned beef. You can choose from a number of types of toast, including toast made with locally made sunflower bread. We like this place and will return when we are in the area. read more

This small hometown eatery has some fantastic food. Best onion rings and Reubens anywhere. We love to go for breakfast (closed Sun-Mon), and have the Irish (eggs) Benedict. Homemade hash, poached eggs and hollandaise. Good quiche, huevos rancheros, and desserts. Friendly servers, too. Owner operated-and he is a good cook. read more

Cute place near green field state park. Coffee was amazing! We ordered a side of sausage patty(came with 2 patties)veggie omelette (loaded with cheese, spinach, onions, peppers and tomatoes).

I was excited to see homemade Corned Beef Hash offered, as so often at breakfast joints it is that dreadful canned concoction. Regrettably, there was just the mere suggestion of the meat in this hash. Seriously, it was about 5 little chunks to add the flavor perhaps of the protein; that's it. Now I don't expect big slabs, but- it was stingy. Further, the waitress asked if I wanted "the home-fries" which was odd, since it's hash and it's described on the menu as being served with toast. I mistakenly thought she meant the corned beef with the potatoes in it, to make a true "hash", so answered Yes. That apparently meant I was given even less a portion of the hash, and half the plate was *more* plain potatoes. Another problem was that I ordered my eggs prepared "over Medium", and they came Easy- and ran all over the hash. The yolk should be gel like; wet but not a gush of yolk. This is a common problem with ordering fried eggs to order, but it's worth mentioning. Good points are the coffee refills were constant and the waitstaff are as friendly as can be. She also offered lemon with our waters, which is always a nice welcome gesture. read more

Wife and I came for breakfast while on vacation at Seven Maples Campground. The restaurant is clean, comfortable with a relaxed atmosphere. The staff is very friendly and courteous. I had Ranchos Huevos, a generous portion of chili and cheese in a quesadilla topped with two poached eggs. Salsa and sour cream on the side. Served with a side of home fries. My wife had a short stack with a side of bacon. Wife is a maple syrup snob, side was reasonable price, but for the teaspoon she uses I would have tipped the waitress more. Definitely will come back and try lunch. read more

This is what it means to dine in a small family style restaurant. Common Place Eatery has been around for years and there is a very good reason. They make delicious food and serve it with a smile. Sometimes I go there with my laptop, order a coffee, and work. Sometimes I go there for a full blown weekend breakfast. And sometimes if I am going on a hike nearby I'll stop in and get a sandwich packed up to take with me. Everything has always been top notch. read more

I would Never go back to this dump! Walked out after being ignored for 10 minutes. Wait staff is rude!

Every visit home to New Hampshire has a minimum of 3 common place eatery visits. I have been coming to this restaurant for almost 15 years and love it. Very simple classic food done well. I have my staple the chicken fingers with Jeff's amazing homemade honey mustard sauce every visit. The few times I have ventured off to club sandwiches, burgers, or the daily special I have been very happy (although I always come back to the chicken fingers). My only complaint about this restaurant is that it's not open enough! If your in this region looking for breakfast or lunch, I promise you will not be disappointed. read more

favorite place ever, always my #1 choice for food when i go out to eat. prices are great food is delicious. Staff are super friendly. Highly recommend read more

Arrived at 1110 and couldn't get breakfast. It is listed as a breakfast and brunch place but they stop serving breakfast at 11. But yet they can make french toast for a sandwich. If I was the owner I would accommodate my guest. No reason they couldn't have served us breakfast on a Holiday. The waitress never even offered to ask the cook. We will never be back. Too bad was looking forward to trying it based on the good reviews. read more

Nice little place with friendly staff and good food. We first came when house hunting and one of the reasons we chose this town is because of how friendly they were when we went in. read more

nice little spot in an older home on main st in downtown bennington, sort of old fashioned cozy, service was very pleasant and the food was very good.....liked it, try it for breakfast if you are in the area!!! read more

I must say that I have only had breakfast here - but do try to get in whenever back in the area visiting family - usually several times per visit. This is a great, casual family run restaurant that is usually full of locals and a very friendly staff. The menu has lots of options and they are willing to do what it takes to meet your requests. The food is very good - my favorite is the breakfast sandwich! Overall, much better than some of the other local eateries. Highly recommended!! read more

Perfect...food clearly made with love...the eatery is set in a quaint town and has all the charm that would only otherwise be seen in movies... I'll be here as often as I can be read more

Great food. Love stopping here after skiing. I have never had a dish that was bad. Looking forward to the upcoming ski season!!

My favorite place to eat breakfast!!!!!!! They have home made corn beef hash that is amazing! Lunch is great too! Right down town, Parking out back or on the street. This place is always busy, so you know the food is good. Don't take that in a bad way, the food is worth the wait and the wait is not long, (if you have to). Definetly A Must Try!!!!!!! read more

Good comfort food. This is our family's favorite place in the Monadnock Region. We have gone there with the kids for breakfast and lunch many times. It's always good and priced very reasonably. It may not sound like a major distinguishing characteristic, but the eggs, grilled homefries, and turtle-pancakes are always "clean". It's apparent that the owner/cook maintains an immaculate grill. Anyone that has ever worked in a restaurant appreciates how that kind of attention to detail carries forward to how the kitchen is maintained overall. I like the grilled chicken sandwich for lunch. The ambiance is quaint and comfortable. No frills. Just very clean, inviting, and full of authentic New England charm. Good WiFi signal too for sneaking a peek at emails or writing stellar Yelp reviews while the kids color. They brought back dinner on Thursday and Friday night too. We used to like the homemade soups and hearty American comfort food. We're looking forward to trying the dinner soon. Our family loves this place and I bet yours will too. read more

We had a Restaurant.com certificate and went there for lunch. The food was great and the service was perfect. The cook and the waitress both were very pleasant.

We love Common Place, great for breakfast and lunch. My son thinkings they have the best burgers around. The service is good and friendly.
