Decided to try lunch here instead of the usual dinner. Im glad we did! The pork belly app on the cornbread? Outrageous. I could eat that every day. I haven't had something that tasty and creative in a while. Thai meatballs were....interesting. Steak was a little too rare on the salad. Soft chicken tacos were good but needed a little kick or something. Coke products!! Waitress was super nice too. Common man is reliable for sure. read more

Amazing find, I have no idea why it doesn't have more stars! The ambiance is really unique with vintage comic books, antiques, and artifacts all in one spot. Staff was friendly and helpful, and the menu was so extensive we really had a hard time choosing our meals! Shout out to the cheese and cracker bar open to all dinners-- the cheese sauce we shared was incredible! Def worth stopping in. read more

When we found out that one of our favorite restaurants does catering, we knew we had to hire them to cater our wedding. The food was absolutely delicious and left our guests raving about it! The prices were also reasonable, and the service was exceptional. We recommend the Common Man Concord for all your catering needs! read more

What a popular place! We took the last parking spot at the restaurant but they do have a parking lot across the way which is where our friends parked. As I said, a super popular spot so it was packed. They have a seat yourself upstairs which is what we did but that was completely fine! Four of us sat at a couch table and the other three at a high table. Instead of bread, they have serve yourself cheese and crackers. They had three cheese options: white cheddar, a garlic butter, and a horseradish one. So that was fancy! I ordered the pulled pork macaroni. Kind of a let down a little because the pork/onion was pretty sweet. That would've been fine if the pork to macaroni ratio was good but there was a lot of pork and not that much macaroni. I also ordered the chocolate ding dang dong. I'm a chocolate lover so it was good but it needed a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Service was great! read more

Went for a late lunch, arrived about 3:00 pm. Venue was at about 30% occupied. The server was fine even though she was clearly going through the motions. I guess we all have days like tha read more

Just went to eat here yesterday afternoon and the food was really good and the place felt really warm and inviting! However the service was not that great, I feel like the lady helping us had something bothering her outside of work and she was bringing her problems to work. I get it that everybody is entitled to one bad day; not mad at her for it but stuff happens. I hope her day got better and as for everything else we loved it! read more

My wife and I stopped in for dinner for our one night in Concord. We absolutely loved the restaurant itself, lots of different nooks and crannies with many different areas to eat or drink. We ordered the Crabcakes and the pulled pork mac & cheese. Both were good although nothing outstanding. The prices seemed just a tad high but the ambience makes up for it. The service was top notch. If you get a chance to try The Common Man I don't think you'll be disappointed. Next time we roll through Concord we will stop in again. read more

Do not recommend. It's Common Man, so I'm doubting my words or carefully considered rating will have any effect upon whether other Yelpers come here or not, but our experience of service lacking any sense of care was disappointing again. We will not come here any more. read more

We just had an absolutely Amazing experience at the Common Man! When we walked in there was a wait for a table and the restaurant was super busy the entire time we were there. We were seated by Jessica who introduced herself as one of the managers. She was very kind and genuine. Our server was Sierra, who was sweet and attentive. Both offered us such impressive hospitality. Our food came out fairly quickly considering how busy the place was and everything we got was beyond our expectations. We can't wait to go back! read more

Great service. Great food and amazing atmosphere. The weight staff is very attentive and make sure you are always comfortable. Thank you so much. read more

There are not a lot of food options in Concord so we chose this one since was close to the hotel. I had the sparkling pear cocktail which was good. And then I ordered lobster corn chowder with the seared tuna salad. The chowder was a little salty for me but overall good. The dressing in the salad was a little odd with the schiracha, but the tuna was very good. We also had dinner rolls (warm is always a plus). Overall, it was a cute restaurant with a wide variety of choices. I would go back and try something else next time as there were at least 3-4 other items that looked yummy. read more

I forgot to check in every time I have come to this Common Man location. I have been in at least 5x in the past 2 years. It's a popular place & sometimes parking can get full. The recent visit was for a work-related meeting & me and my manager decided to go to the upstairs bar because we hadn't been up there before. I like the atmosphere of the entire place. We were told about the complimentary cheese & crackers, but didn't have any by choice. Our server, who didn't say what his name was, seemed to be annoyed. Not sure if that's the correct word, but it's what comes to mind. I don't know if it is his demeanor, but he came off a bit sarcastic & like we were bothering him. He didn't come around very often, but when he initially greeted us, it seemed like we were taking too long to make a decision on what we wanted to eat. *Shrug* I had the grilled chicken sandwich with ranch. I upgraded to the sweet potato fries, which were awesome. The sandwich was very, very flavorful & the chicken was juicy. I couldn't finish it, but every bite was great. My manager had the BLT flatbread & seemed to enjoy it. We were 'all business' that day so we didn't talk much about our food or service (until a day or so later). Before leaving, I ordered the Mighty Mac burger to go to bring home to my husband. It was loaded with spiral macaroni & was cooked perfectly to the requested medium temperature. I stole a bite (despite being full from my meal earlier) & found it to be great. Total comfort food & perfect for a mid-week dinner. I will continue to come to this restaurant for delicious food & the atmosphere. read more

A fantastic experience start to finish. While we waited for our table, I enjoyed the complimentary cheese and crackers. The bread offerings included a sweet blueberry bread and a warm herb roll that was incredible. For my main course, I selected the Apple Walnut Chicken, which was fantastic!!! My husband had the meatloaf which he liked, but ended up finishing my chicken because he liked that better. Amora, our waitress, was very attentive and patient with our many questions. We were at the end of a ten day road trip, and she gave us great recommendations for our last day in New Hampshire! read more

My wife, kids and I love the Common Man restaurants. We visited after a day trip in NH mountains on our way home. Our server was Christine, at first she was very polite. However, it took almost an hour to get our entreees after we ordered them. We were never offered bread, we had to ask for it after sitting at our table bored for 40 minutes. I would have asked sooner, but she was nowhere to be found. She seemed to have too many tables to serve or something. Usually we dig into the cheese and crackers, but they seemed to have run out of cheese this night. We finally got a basket of bread, which was delicious. They don't just have generic rolls, their garlic rolls are awesome. We finally got our food. My kids seemed to like the kids pasta, it looked gross to me. My wife had steak, it was actually amazing, she shared some with me. I had sesame ahi tuna on salad, also very good. The only real downside was waiting an hour for our food and our server not being attentive. read more

My juicy burger and fries were delicious! Although the food took a bit long to arrive I didn't really mind since it was worth the wait. This is also a unique restaurant with cool things such as old magazines. I love the Common Man! read more

This was suggested by family and friends as we were visiting NH. The atmosphere was like a home or cabin, very pleasant and inviting. Our meals were pleasing to both the eye and the palate. The fish was fresh and the meat was tender. As I reflect, our server Logan was kind but unfortunately far too absent. He never introduced himself, did not tell us about the complimentary cheese and crackers, no specials were mentioned and a poor job on the upsell or a variety of suggestions for a new customer. We asked for beverages and to clear plates and cups from our table. Did Logan not see the obvious? If you want customers to return sooner or later...you need to be excited about your menu and service should be above the norm. I am undecided about returning when we visit again in the wintertime. read more

This review is for the bar/lounge upstairs, not the main restaurant. The place has a country cabin type theme and it was nice that they had live music for part of the evening. I sat at the bar instead of a table and was pleasantly surprised to see that I could order from the main restaurant dinner menu if I so desired and was not limited to the bar menu. I nonetheless ordered a smokehouse burger from the latter hoping to have a savory meal rich in flavor. The burger itself was cooked perfectly but the flavors just weren't there. Perhaps there was too much going on with it to have an emerging taste profile? Who knows. But the fries were pretty good. Despite sitting at the bar, I was dismayed to have lackluster service. There were three times when the bartender checked in on the parties to my left and right but completely ignored me and my empty beer and water glasses. This persisted throughout the night and left a bad impression with me. Poor service and a meh burger nets a lower overall rating. Others may like this place (the couple next to me was raving about everything!) but for me it hovered around mediocre--and that's being a touch generous. read more

Went with my family hungry and with high hopes. Staff was super friendly but food was not good and it came cold. I literally couldn't even eat the meatloaf. read more

The food was cold and they took it back to get reheated and then a few hours after I felt ill and I got food poisoning. I was told on the phone that my degree doesn't matter that it doesn't come on quickly and it does it can come on in a few hours to even days. I will never go back to any common man again read more

Was nearby and decided to stop by (right by our hotel). Service was great, place was packed (thanks Heather). Very relaxing sitting out on the elevated deck. Great menu with several options. We had apple walnut chicken (speciality), sticky Thai meatballs, and a wedge salad. We had martinis (blood orange and salted Carmel mocha (dessert)), water, and beers as drinks. I have the white chocolate crème Brûlée (so good). I would highly recommend drinking and eating here. If nearby give it a try. Enjoy!! read more

Came to the Common man in concord to eat. Informed the server that I cant eat onions, (allergy). When my order showed up it had a pile of onions on it. At best this puts me in the ICU, at worst, it will kill me. If I had not checked my food and trusted that I got what I asked for Id be either on respiratory support or dead. They did say they could make me a new one but by the time I was able to get service the person I was eating with was already over 1/2 way done and I wasn't going to make them wait. I asked to have the order removed which I don't believe they did. Checking the menu there was an appetizer and 1 burger to be charged to the bill with my food meal removed, it was still $56. I checked their menu online and the only way to get to that total is if they did NOT in fat remove my meal. So in the end I spent over 2 hours in the car to be served food I could not eat then charged for it after it was agreed that it would be removed. I have several reservations at the Common Mans lodging at another site over this coming winter. I can not in good conscience do business with this company at this point and will be canceling all the reservations. I do not recommend this company or brand to anyone. There's a huge difference between an accidental dip in quality, a mis heard or mis entered order, and putting someones life at risk. read more

Stopped by here on a trip to NH with my wife. 2 year old son. And infant son. First time at this location and first time at one of these in a long time. Super accommodating. Super friendly. Super attentive. We ate upstairs in the bar/lounge area at a high top. My wife was finishing feeding the little one in the car so they sat my son and I so I could order. Crab cakes. Lobster and corn chowder. Chicken wrap. Veggie burger. Everything was tasty and fresh. Cozy atmosphere. People were very accommodating. I see some reviews about wait times and lists. They have a process there and, from what I can tell, if you follow it, all seems ok. I can't say enough good things. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. read more

I was discriminated against and treated differently by the hostess, Mandy. She said her policy was to not seat anyone unless their whole party was there. It was a slow Monday night at 5:45 p.m. She refused to seat me even when my husband and 5 year old were getting out of the car. However, the incomplete party ahead of me and behind me were both offered to be seated. When I questioned Mandy about her policy, she lied to me and said I told her I wanted to wait for my husband and son. This is completely untrue. The only differences between the other parties and myself was that I am a person of color. We walked out and vowed to never support a business that is outright prejudice and racist towards people of color. Do better, The Common Man. Hire competent hosts/hostesses that don't discriminate based on skin color. read more

Went for lunch yesterday with two other friends. Since I have been there in the past and loved the Sweet Corn Bacon ravioli, I highly recommended this dish to my friends. Imagine our surprise when the dishes arrived with a bright orange cream sauce. Was it food coloring that was added to the dish? When ordered in the past, it was more of a light cream color sauce where you could see the corn, and other vegetables. Still good but disappointed with not being able to see the corn and veggies unless you hunted for these. The waitress amazing and provided great service! It's a beautiful restaurant! read more

I've eaten at the C-man in Ashland many times and love its vibe and spirit. The one in Concord has none of that...and some of the worst food I've eaten in ages. The $25 salmon was clearly some pre-frozen nonsense and my kid's plate was frozen terrible broccoli and frozen terrible chicken fingers. My husband says his burger was pretty good. Mine was pretty lame. Won't go again. read more

Love the old vibe here. The food and service were fantastic. We went on a business lunch and everyone loved there food. Kind of cool they have a cracker and dip station. I loved my steak fritas and the the French Onion soup was fantastic. My coworker said the chowder was the best soup he ever had. Great experience! read more

We went to the location near Windham before and the food and atmosphere were really good. It was the evening. The Concord location ( good atmosphere and decoration) but the food was not good. My queso dip came with a handful of chips, like just a few. My husband s seak tips came lukewarm and my Asian rice was unseasoned and small, huge plate, little food. Even the server told me "I can give you more chips " I didn't ask for anything. read more

This place was described to me as the quintessential New England meal. I do not really know what that means, but the description is fitting. Your meal includes the cheese bar, where you are able to slice your own cheese and try two (2) cheese dips. Any meal is enhanced with all you can eat cheese. I moved on to the Lobster Corn Chowder which was tasty and included a large lump of lobster and mini cornbread. I then had Nantucket Pie, which was filled with seafood. The only negative was that I stuffed myself and was unable to eat dessert. There were several options that I wanted to try, including the house-made ice cream. While I do not know when I will be back in Concord, this is certainly a place I plan to revisit whenever I am in New Hampshire. read more

First off, the ambiance is very welcoming. Think Cracker Barrel, but like the staff all had braces growing up. There is the dining room downstairs and a lounge area upstairs. I sat upstairs in the quieter lounge area. The waitress was very nice and not judging considering I was the only table dining alone. I ordered a bottle of the "Comman Man Cabernet Savignon" and the NY Sirloin, med rare, with "crispy fries" instead of the mashed potatoes. It came with a side medley of zucchini, summer squash and green beans. After ordering, the lovely waitress informed me of the self-serve cracker and cheese bar located a mere 15ish feet from my table. The steak was cooked perfectly to a med rare as requested. The NY Sirloin had a topping of crispy onions and bacon caramelized butter. The vegetables were as expected, seasoned and cooked al dente. The fries on their own were subpar. But, paired with the herb and cheese spread from the cheese bar: magnificent. The house cabernet savignon was very good. Not the best I've ever had but very good for a house cab. It was bottled by winery out of CA especially for the restaurant. It was full bodied, fruity and paired perfectly with the NY Sirloin. It had a decent afterglow with a hint of tannins as an afterthought. Overall, for a decent price, The Comman Man was an excellent experience. If you find yourself in Concord, you won't regret eating here. read more

Called to reserve, no reservations, only call ahead. Was advised for 45 min wait but the host and was recommended to reserve that way. Called ahead, arrived 45 min later to find out we have 45min more wait, got 2 young kids. Not going to work that way. Total wait of 1.5h for a super slow service. Nop, no coming back. Ever! read more

I stopped in to meet a colleague for a light working meal. The staff was really attentive and friendly. It was around 4PM so not too crowded or too loud. I had the onion soup and it was great. I will be back to have a larger meal and the house brew when I have more time. Stopped in again. Really like the service and atmosphere. This time I ordered a steak tip salad To Go they added an extra side dressing as requested, I requested the tips medium. I am lowering my review to a 3. The tips were seared but no where near medium. I'll be back but am a bit disappointed. read more

I've been coming to Common Man for years mostly work related. Recently retired and staying at hotel for two days nearby due to Power Outage. Wish I didn't wait so long to come back . Paul was my server/ bartender both days. Outstanding human being and host. The food as usual amazing. You have to try the homemade chicken soup . The manager also I'd like to give a shout out. I observed him both visits, very attentive, hospitable and makes you feel like you are visiting him in his own home. Thank you for making this storm fun! I'll be back very soon and often! read more

Good burger, fine service. Food is great, very reasonably priced. Waitress was super nice, although there was a long wait for our food. Atmosphere was really cool, the restaurant looked like an old fashion barn. Super hard to find parking. read more

Great place to eat. Lots of ambiance, rustics open feel. Always busy and that's a good sign.

So happy to get back to one of our old haunts. Make sure you call ahead and get your name on the waiting list as they do not take reservations, but this will help you to get a table quicker. Food there is as good as ever and priced so reasonable you will not believe it. The service is super friendly and quick to respond. Our meals came out in extraordinarily fast time and were thoroughly enjoyed. Accompanied by a nice bottle of wine. We had a wonderful meal and split the coffee ice cream sandwich dessert. The common man will not disappoint. #stevensleavin read more
