A very lively, family friendly elevated food court experience which is almost a one stop shop. All things food and beverages, ranging from coffee /beer to tacos to bibimbap to cheeseburger to Indian street food to ice cream, they seem to have it all! After a walk in the Unity park we hung out in this very comfortable space with a pack of cards and coffee from Methodical, spritzer from beer counter, working our way to tacos and bibimbap bowl. Automatic Tacos in Commons has taken a simple veggie taco and elevated it to a flavorful mouth filling, all sense pleasing experience! Bibimbap came from the cheeseburger place and did not disappoint. This might just become a Friday evening ritual! Will be back weekly!! read more

The Commons - An AMAZING avo toast from Methodical - American Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

Arriving Sunday morning at 7:30, we were here for coffee and breakfast. Methodical was up and awake and slinging fabulous caffeine! The Commons is a common area that hosts a half-dozen or so restaurants which together operate as a food hall with some retail shopping. Lots of options later in the day and plenty of seating. And because of its location along the Swamp Rabbit Trail, there are quite a few people arriving in jogging outfits or parking their bikes in the racks. This was a fun start to the day and I'm glad we were here! [Review 2217 of 2024 - 1187 in South Carolina - 23235 overall] read more

The restaurants are great here, but the rent is so high they have to charge ridiculous prices. $50 lunch for two people? It's also loud and not a fun place to eat your food. High rent is destroying Greenville. read more

Before leaving lovely downtown Greenville on a beautiful Monday afternoon, I met up with 2 of my friends for lunch at The Commons. It's so cute! There's a parking lot, which is a huge plus. There's huge playground next to it. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. I love that it's bright and airy. There are a several options for food. We chose Methodical, which many people had told me about over the last 2 days being in G'ville. One of my friends and I had the avocado toast, and our other friend had the smoked salmon smorrebrod. The avocado toast was super delicious and I was told so was the salmon smorrebrod. The drinks were delicious too. I loved the vibe at The Commons. Cool place to hang out alone or with friends. Nice change of scenery to get some work done. I loved it. read more

This is a nice place to stop along the Swamp Rabbit trail just past Unity Park if you need a nice cold beer or select from a variety of food vendors. I ordered a couple of craft beers from The Community Tap that were about average. Their soft pretzels were pretty amazing though.Friendly service , but it's all about the beautiful view seated on the deck outside and watching people walking by on the trail. read more

Most of the restaurants were closed even though it was like 6:30. The restaurants that were open and we ordered from were not good.

This area is HIDDEN! A friend mentioned coming here and when I was on the way here I was unsure if it was the right area. I was happy that they weren't busy and that everyone was a little spread out on the inside. They have a good selection of beer, non alcoholic drinks, and a lot of food! The whole area is clean since it's all new and they do have people working around cleaning tables or asking if you need any help with anything. We were in the main common area and we later walked down to another brewery which was nice and close. Great place to come to plus I felt like it was kid friendly! read more

My family and I went to The Commons with family this past weekend on Saturday. The park is amazing and huge! As you get to the par lot it was a challenge to find a spot for a few minutes but we finally did. We walked in and we saw a lot of places to go and choose the food that you wanted. Awesome choices. Indian foods, spanish food, bbq ect...We sat outside and enjoyed the day! Highly recommend. read more

I am SO excited that Clare's Creamery now has a permanent spot in the commons in downtown Greenville! Open from 4pm-9pm seven days a week. I hadn't tried Clare's ice cream before, but everyone kept saying it was their "favorite." So here I am! You can get a junior (one scoop) for $3.50 too, which is super reasonable for the downtown area. There are only about 6 flavors as this is a pop-up location in the evenings, but I tried cookies and cream and Reese's peanut butter cup in vanilla. Both were creamy and had a very smooth texture. The peanut butter one had full peanut butter cups in it and the cookies and cream looked like straight chocolate ice cream because of how many cookie chunks it had. And I am SO here for that!! Staff was super nice and it was the perfect way to cool off during the ridiculous 100 degree heat wave we've been experiencing. Can't wait to go back! read more

I will say the commons it a great place to bring your out of towners. Across the parking lot they have a nature preserve. My in-laws really enjoyed it. Once you make it across the parking lot you get to strolls from one establishment to another. Ordering beers and snack. It's also along swamp rabbit tail and you get eyes on the river which is also beautiful. It was packed for the holidays and was just a good time. read more

Love this concept!!!! Coming from Atlanta where there is the Ponce City Market, I'm glad to see there is a similar concept in Greenville. The Commons consists of 17 businesses with five food/drinks places in the main area. There is a cafeteria styled area where Methodical Coffee, Automatic Taco, Community Tap, GB&D, and the soon to be opened The Bake Room are located. There's plenty of seats around with large tables, high tops, bar seating and outdoor seating. At Community Tap, you can of course buy beers on draft but they also sell lots of various bottled beers and wine. You can pop these open while eating at The Commons! Unfortunately pets are not allowed inside but there's plenty of outside room and seats. read more

Another Yelp Elite event; another wonderful evening at The Commons. Kudos to our new YELP Community Advisor Kelly K for a super evening. If you're a YELPER and you missed it, well ...the loss is yours. Freebie tix to be used for food or libations; plenty of time to interact and bond with YELP family, and delish cookies from SC Bake at the Commons. Next event is 2/18/2020 at Chuys. Make plans to join us! read more

Was in the area and stopped by, this modern food court. It's spacious enough, easy to navigate each space, and modernly decorated. There are several places to chose from for food and drink. I got an iced coffee smoothie from the coffee shop, had great service from the barista, and we went to unity park which is conveniently located. read more

Second time I've been here and both times have been awesome and I always leave saying how good it is and how big the portions are. Let's be real, a good burger is expensive these days... So if I'm paying $16 for a burger I'm looking forward to a decent sized, tender burger. Perfect burger sauce, crunchy Bibb lettuce, and a huge side of fries. Cute industrial interior with lots of open space and seating both inside and out. I like that they have different food/drink vendors so you and whoever you're eating with can get whatever they are in the mood for... I'm pretty sure all the vendors are order at the counter and you get a table # card so they can bring the food out to you. Food came out swiftly and the drinks were great! Overall such a good lunch experience. read more

Loved this place while visiting Greenville! Everything we tried was really good! Great coffee at Methodical, delicious pastries at Bake Room, we had a AM bun, croissant and peach cream pastry. The taco place was delicious as well! My favorite taco was the Korean pork belly! Get it you won't regret it, it was so flavorful and the pork belly was cooked perfectly. The fish taco with mango pico was delicious as well. Love the outdoor seating area, drink selections and the fact that there's a trail you can walk there and a beautiful playground for the kiddos! read more

I have to admit that since COVID began, we'd been a bit nervous to go back to a large and potentially crowded food hall, but after visiting this past Saturday evening, the folks at the Commons seem to be doing an excellent job with all of the precautions they are taking! All staff wore masks and were visibly wiping down tables, hand sanitizer was placed throughout, visuals were displayed to show areas to stand to maintain social distancing, and orders could be placed online for touch less payment etc. We were very comfortable eating outside in their picnic area behind the food hall (even on a Saturday night!) and will not hesitate to return. The city is doing lots of construction on the park across the street from the commons right now, but we were easily able to find parking upon arrival. (Further, once we were seated we didn't even notice the construction). After parking, we walked directly behind the building and immediately found a table outside. Since we had been to the Common's last, they've greatly expanded their outdoor seating. It feels very open, there's beautiful landscaping and grassy areas for kids to play, and tables are well spaced apart. We opted to go inside to order food and beverages (though orders can also be placed online). We each got beers from Community Tap and split a buffalo chicken pizza from GB&D! Per usual, everything was amazing! Excellent beer, flavorful and delicious pizza, and a very enjoyable setting. We can't wait to go back! read more

I love all of the vendors at the Commons but whoever's in charge of the building as a whole needs to get their head checked. The ambiance used to be great, but in the past few weeks, they installed a new sound system which now blares obnoxious music. It even seems to ramp up in volume when people try to raise their voices over the music to hear each other. I come here often to work and meet with clients but it's become impossible lately so unfortunately I will have to go elsewhere until this issue is resolved. read more

I'm a fan! We enjoyed delicious tacos from Automatic Taco and then walked around to check the space out. It's a big food hall with tables around each food and drink vendor, as well as in the main corridor and outside on the trail side. We also stopped for dessert from The Bake Room where many of the items on display appeared dark and over baked, including the $2.50 oatmeal cookie. The chocolate peanut butter Whoopie pie/cookie was soft and not overly sweet. The Commons is a great idea and the perfect style venue for this area. read more

Great place! The Commons is a high spot with more than 8 other eating spots. We ate at the Mexican spot. Their margaritas were were "legit" I could drink them all day. It's a super cool vibe with coffees, desserts, burgers, and other foods. A huge water tin so customers can enjoy water ( I wish they offered ice). Water wasn't cold enough but you could get ice from one of the many eating spots! They had a huge playground, lots of space to walk, run, jog and ride bikes. The Swamp Rabbit Trail could be found there too! Next door was another awesome place...I'll write about it in that review. Greenville, SC is really up and happening. I must go again! read more

Went to eat lunch there on a Saturday. The hours are clearly marked on the website that they are are open 11:30am until 10:00pm. This is apparently incorrect. Everything was closing at 2:00pm, ON A FREAKING SATURDAY, while people are coming in droves to support this new establishment. I am incredibly disappointed. Being open during the marked business hours is not a difficult task to accomplish. read more

I attended a Yelp event at The Commons and it was so much fun! My first Yelp event in a different community from my hometown Orlando Yelp group. The Commons is a place that my husband and I will attend again! We love breweries and local spots. This consisted of many! Thank you to Kelly K for putting this event together in such a great location! We were provided with tickets so that we could try out some food or adult beverages. We went ahead and enjoyed some craft beers and tacos from automatic taco! Love love love! Totally a fun spot, and family friendly as well! read more

4.5 yelp when are half stars coming???? A super chill place fire a beer coffee and food. Think this was the fourth day they were open. Still working to get things going but over all love it.

Great example of repurposing a space for the community. Located right off the Swamp Rabbit Trail, this is a perfect pitstop for walkers and bikers...or a destination in itself! There is a large expanse of space outside and some, more crowded seating indoors. Unique art and concepts all around. Great addition to the area. read more

Small little food hall in comparison to the ones that I have visited before. It has the basics except for ice cream. Can't go wrong with a juicy sandwich and a cold beer. If its early in the morning, then some coffee and a breakfast. Currently expanding and renovating outside, can't wait to go back again when passing through Greenville. read more

We had a lovely afternoon at the Commons. We walked from our hotel (near Fluor Field) and enjoyed the Swamp Rabbit Trail. Very family friendly with large walking trail and even a playground. We ended up having drinks and appetizers at Southside Brewing Company. Loved this location! Easy ordering off your cell phone, attentive and friendly staff, comfortable seating, great food and drink. We will be back! read more

This is a very cool and upcoming spot in Greenville! I am a huge fan of shared workspaces for restaurants, bars, and other unique food experiences and The Commons is no exception. I was very impressed to see this concept come to life over the last several months. There are several local stores located next to The Commons, along with being perfectly placed next to the Swamp Rabbit Trail. The inside is well decorated and has a very comfortable feel with plenty of space. I was very impressed with the many wood finishes and the large bar setup at each station. We have enjoyed dinner here several times. Last time we enjoyed the great and.....the name speaks for itself "Golden Brown and Delicious". With our dinner we also enjoyed several frothy pints with a solid selection of beer, cider, and wine. I will definitely be coming back and especially during the daytime to catch the bakery!! read more

Good to see #yeahthatgreenville is getting some more eclectic big city hipster type places. Just set not that far off downtown is the commons. It's quickly becoming a very popular place to come for a drink, coffee or some tacos. Think Foodhall with a bunch of tables both separate and common setup in a big hall. The center back area is community tap a beer hall which has some great microbrew beers. Automatic taco is a popular place serving up creative tacos. Methodical coffee served up craft third wave coffee blends. Swamp rabbit trail is just behind and you can venture outside in nicer weather. Parking at key times can get a bit busy but there is decent space. Very eclectic, cool and chill. read more

If you are looking for a place to go on a beautiful day for food and exercise, this is the place to go! With many food and drink options to offer along with lots of seating options you really can't go wrong here. Even on a Saturday afternoon there is tons of parking and all food orders come out really quick. After a great meal or drink you can head over to the new union park to enjoy the sun and walk around. At the commons my boyfriend had a Nashville chicken sandwich (8.1/10, lot of grease) and I had the OG burger (10/10)! read more

The Community Tap has a large selection on tap and to go! There is truly something for everyone and every occasion. read more

What a cool place! The Commons is a place I would want to hang out all day, with my favorite group of friends! There is something for everyone! Coffee, baked goods, food, and beer! What more do you need? I love the community business model. I love that a family can eat something different, from each individually owned business, but sit together at the same table. It feels like the food court at the mall! But, much better! There is a private room for rentals, which is cool for business meetings, etc. The food was phenomenal! The drinks werw fresh and oh so good! I would highly recommend checking this place out! It is a hidden gem in Greenville, SC! It is also right along the Swamp Rabbit bike trail. read more
