Open and inviting space
Brian B.

Overall an excellent experience. A good sized group went here yesterday between a dry wedding and an even drier reception and all had a great time. The menu was great. I had my favorite Fieldwork hazy and others had the Pliny and red and white wines. Service was great. Fast and responsive. Ambiance was good too. We all felt comfortable and safe in downtown Turlock. Everything was clean and bathrooms were clean too. Highly recommend going back soon!

Commonwealth burger
Brad B.

Stopped in for a late night bite after a Christmas party. The, staff was very friendly and helpful. Ordered the Commonwealth burger with fries. Great burger taste, plenty juicy, lots of garnishes in there. Wish the meat patty was bigger though. Plenty of fries, were VERY crispy! Not in a burnt way, just a very pleasant crispy way. Glad I stopped in.

Cubano
The Bottomless Pi T.

I remember this as being where the original Dust Bowl was, before they moved to the other side of the freeway. The vibe at this place was similar, a bar where they served food. I think they call it a gastropub. I came for the food. I had the Cubano sandwich. When I got my plate, it looked okay. The sandwich bread looked a little flat. There was a decent portion of meat in there, but I cannot say it was piled high. It tasted pretty good though. The worst part of the meal was the fries. Clearly they were sitting there for a while. They were just warm, and rather soft. Definitely not fresh out of the fryer. Disappointed, because I love fries. One last thing. If you have a low cold tolerance, bring a sweater or sit outside. We sat underneath one of the vents and my friends were freezing.

2 pork & 1 chicken taco
Ashley Q.

Now I remember why I don't go here. It was 50 degrees outside when I arrived to meet a friend. concrete floors. High ceilings. Aesthetics are good. However, when you are so cold and feel like you're in an icebox... not fun. I had to switch my plan from beer to a red wine so I didn't have to hold a cold glass of beer. I told the gal at the front how cold it was and after hearing how they aren't cold... she turned around and told the guy wearing shorts to turn it up 1 degree. yes. Just 1 degree. Um... seriously. I asked her to look around and not one person had their coat off. That's a sign we are all cold. I don't know about all of you, but I like to be cozy and take my coat off and relax when I go out. My salad was marginal. my friend had the pork tacos and 1 chicken. He said they were fine. On another note... I had to leave a tab open to order my wine before my friend got there. I told her we would be eating as well. My friend ended up putting it on his card. But here we are 2 days later and I have a $1 pending on my card. I called Commonwealth and she said it automatically charges your card $1 and it should get reversed in 48 hours. Now, I know it's only $1, but, this never happens anywhere else. If you go to a bar and "keep it open" I have never been charged $1 on top of a bill to keep tab open. Have you?? It's my dollar, not yours to keep for 48 -72 hours! lol. Won't be back unless it's warmer out ...I may try. But customers were saying it's really hot in there in summer. So that's a hard no for me. Don't say I didn't warn you.

BLEAT sandwich comes with fries
Lea V.

The husband and I came here on a Sunday for the brunch menu and were pleased with the food and experience. I got the BLEAT sandwich (fried egg, bacon, tomato, lettuce, on sourdough with a lemon aioli) and he got the chicken and waffles. The aioli on the sandwich really lightened the flavor and was refreshing. Overall my husband liked his choice but would prefer that the chicken breast to be beaten thinner. The waffle was delicious. Good music, good service, good beer! We'll be back for brunch to try more.

Chicken Cesar
Alyce S.

Great food! First time visiting and will be back again, hopefully to enjoy the brunch menu!

Burger
Mike H.

Went there last minute and enjoyed the food. I had the Napa Nachos and liked them. They were made with homemade potato chips and I was surprised that the combination worked. My wife had a glass of wine. $9.70 and a small pour. Not impressed with that. The place is clean with a relaxed atmosphere.

SOS from the Sunday brunch menu.

See all

Had an overnight work trip that had me in Modesto so I was trying to find something fun to eat…read more After a bit of research I found this place. I showed up around 7pm and I thought it might have been closed because no one was here. But they were open. I ordered a Bauer burger with the house seasoned fries. They asked how I'd like the egg cooked and the burger cooked: I asked for medium for both. Given how dead the place was, it did take a minute to get my food. The burger was ok, not worth $21. The bun fell apart very quickly which is a bit of a cardinal sin in the burger game. The bacon on the burger was not bacon strips but a bit of bacon crumble. The patty was a bit overcooked so it was dry and it wasn't seasoned so it was bland. The egg was cooked perfectly, but the aioli and the egg yolk with a disintegrated bun made for a huge mess. The fries were interesting. The house seasoned fries are not salted. So the fries were almost sweet due to the spices, but no salt. And they do not have regular table ketchup or malt vinegar. I did ask for some ketchup and they brought me their house ketchup. While not like a classic ketchup, it was actually quite good. Oh, be aware. They will charge you a 4% fee when they bring you the check (what would have happened if I'd paid with cash?). I do not see anywhere on the menu where they say their is a payment fee so that is a pretty shady business practice. Overall: meh. I think for the price point the burger should have been great, but sadly I can't say it was great or even good. I'd likely not return.

The fries with the spicy mayo and teriyaki sauce made the dish. It was very savory. My son enjoyed it. The fried calamari was also good. The calamari and jalapeno peppers were crispy and salted well. The sweet and sour sauce that accompanied it was added a slight heat to the dish. We enjoyed our meal here and would return the next time we are in Santa Cruz.

They rebranded to…read moreWest End Izakaya and now serve Asian-inspired dishes, rather than their previous American farm-to-table menu. Honestly, I can't say this change is an improvement. My grandma and I visited around dinner on a Saturday and were seated on the (dog-friendly) patio. They did have propane heaters, but not enough of them, so it was quite chilly. For drinks, we both got hot Green Tea to warm up, which was very standard - served in pre-packed tea bags. For food, we ordered the Okonomiyaki Fries and Maitake Mushroom Flatbread to share. The Okonomiyaki Fries were pretty good and I enjoyed all the toppings, especially the spicy pink mayo. I usually prefer thinner fries, but I liked the crispy texture. However, the Maitake Mushroom Flatbread was a bit disappointing. There just wasn't enough bechamel and mozzarella on top and the flavor somewhat bland. Service was friendly, but I miss their old menu offerings, like the Heirloom Tomato Flatbread. Not a huge fan of the rebrand!
