    Refill time! Ordered on the app 2 large diet cherry diet Colas. Check in upon arrival. It took a while, but a masked worker eventually brought one out. Didn't say anything for waiting. Good diet cherry Diet Colas

    $8.00 meal from Sonic
    Janice R.

    So, every time I go to Sonic, it reminds me of why I don't go to Sonic. After waiting 13 minutes after placing my order (can't imagine how long I waited before then) I get my order and it's wrong. Immediately I know the drink is wrong, because it's a large iced tea and I ordered a medium strawberry limeade. The young man was very pleasant and replaced the drink. But of course, Sonic being Sonic continued to disappoint. My order must have been prepared as soon as it was ordered...judging from the congealed cheese on my chili dog...the chili is suspect as well, since there was just trace amounts. The only bright spot was that there were only 6 of the cold tater tots. Anyway, at least I answered the question "why is the line so long", it's not the great food or the service...it's poor management and confused workers

    Ordered 2 pretzel twists with cheese
    Jennifer J.

    We ordered 2 of the pretzel twists. My husband ask about the cheese because I looked in the 2 bags we had while waiting for another. There was no cheese. When we got home he explained when he asked about the cheese. He over heard the lady in the drive thru tell her employee "I f-ing put one in their bag". When we ordered two. We paid for 2 & gave my husband one after cursing that she put them in our bag. Very unacceptable. Wish I knew before we left the restaurant. Very bad customer service. Unsatisfied

    A "mesquite butter bacon burger". Looks more like a bun used as a sponge to clean all the excess grease off the grill. F***ing terrible.

    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 seasoning on the fries and the Mac and cheese was also unique and kind of sweet.

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.

My partner was the one who went in person to order and pick up the food; he had nothing but positive things to stay about the experience and the service!

The lacy, crispy edges of the burger are HEAVEN and the fact that you can pick up and put down the burger and it still holds it's shape?! Fantastic! It's not nearly as messy as my usual spot. Everything is reasonably priced, and a good value for what you receive. I wish the burgers were a tad bigger because I feel like two to myself would really slay my hunger. My only gripe is that they use crinkle fries for their French fries, which we all know is not a top-tier example of the capabilities of a potato BUT they were exceptionally cooked and held up against the sauces and condiments of the loaded fries.
