The Great Commoner - Dearborn

Super busy, we had to sit at the coffee bar because they were so busy there would be a 45 minute wait to sit at a table. Coffee was tremendous. Food outstanding!

The food was FANTASTIC. I got the shrimp and grits and it was so good. The service was good as well. I hope to come back soon!

When our server did arrive, they brought our drinks, salad, and main courses all at once. My coffee, which was a pour-over and priced fairly, came cold, so I assume it had been sitting out for a while. Unfortunately, my previous two experiences at this restaurant were just as frustrating, and there were no apologies from the staff during any of my visits. It's disappointing because the food is great, but I won't be returning.

I visited the restaurant for Sunday brunch and only waited about 15 minutes before being seated. The service was quick, and we soon placed our order. Our server, Ali, was fantastic, and we quickly devoured our meals. The breakfast burrito was delicious, as was the egg and cheese sandwich, and the side of potatoes had a nice kick to them—I highly recommend both! I also tried the lavender lemonade, which was wonderful! It had a refreshing taste that I really enjoyed.

We decided to stop here for brunch after finding out that another restaurant had an hour wait. It turned out to be the best choice we could have made! Despite being busy, the staff was outstanding. I really wish I could remember our waitress's name at the bar because she was phenomenal. She juggled multiple tables while still being attentive, offered excellent menu suggestions, and did everything with a smile! The lavender lemonade is a must-try, and the French omelette was absolutely delicious!
