Can’t believe I haven’t left a review sooner. One of my favorite restaurants in San Diego! Great atmosphere and excellent food and drinks. I’ve yet to have anything on the menu that wasn’t delicious.
You know how usually when you go to a new place and try, like, 4 things, usually 2 are ok, 1 is kinda bad, and 1 is pretty good? That did not happen here. All 4 things (shakshuka, Nashville chicken & waffle, Vietnamese coffee French toast & Cesar Brussels) were AMAZING. Seriously some of the best food we've had in a while. Bloody Mary on point, too!

Cool spot with an upscale modern vibe. I like restaurants that have an open feeling and Common Stock has two large garage doors that bring natural light into the restaurant. Will probably be a really fun place in the summer months.The food was very good. Highly recommend having the chicken and waffles as well as the brussel sprouts.Can be difficult finding parking on the street.
Excellent drinks. Nashville Chicken & Waffles was delicious

Came there yesterday and the service was fantastic! I loved the steak and rotisserie chicken! I recommend getting extra sauce on the side for it. I’ll be back :)

The energy here was so amazing and the food was so good! You must try the sangria and the tater tots are cooked to perfection. 10 out of 10 highly recommend and everyone who works here is absolutely sweet.

To set the scene, it was Valentine’s Day, they had a pre-set menu: soup or salad starter, sous vide steak premade, and dessert. (We were not allowed to order our $65 steak to our desired temperature as they were all made between MR and M)Two bartenders seemed to be working, and at least two servers were seen for a restaurant of about 16 tables - mostly 2-tops. A host/manager was also on duty.We were sat on time by the manager and greeted by our server. Our server took our drink order and our choices from the menu. My drink was brought in about five minutes. And then we sat for 25 minutes without anyone in the restaurant speaking to us. The table next to us sat after I had received my drinks received their starters by a different waiter. When they received their second course, I tapped their waiter on the shoulder and asked if there had been some emergency with our server since we had not yet received our starters. He went and got the manager who came and introduced himself and asked if there was any problems. I told him that we had been sat for 30 minutes and had not yet received our soup. I received a sassy answer from him where he told me this was the first he had heard about it. I asked how long a starter should take, and instead of answering, he gave me a retort about how I have to understand that he didn’t know that there was any problem , when I continued to ask who he was, if he was actually the manager, and where our soup was, his response was that he could either stand here talking with me or get my soup, which did I want?Instead of our server bringing the soup, the Manager returned about seven minutes later with our soup, which should have been premade in a large vat in the back. As he sat down the soup I looked at him and said I just want to understand that I’m not getting an apology from you. At that point he said “I would’ve given you an apology but you didn’t let me speak.” And that I “had to understand and give him an opportunity.” When I’m paying $150 for dinner I don’t feel that I have to give a restaurant the opportunity to explain such poor service. I never did see our server again. We left then because we didn't trust that service would get any better. Our server never did come apologize for the delays. The manager promised to refund our $50 deposit that we had put down for this "special" Valentine's Day event.

The Nashville crispy chicken sandwich is highly recommended..
This place is a long time fave for us. They never disappoint. I have the onion dip with chips and the Nashville hot chicken with slaw every time because it's too good for me to shop the menu. This time my wife had the pimento grilled cheese with tomato soup and she loved it!

We went for the second time to this place. We order the chicken bites, a chicken sandwich, a hamburger, a side of fries and 2 margaritas.The service was the worst I have evere received. They never cleaned our table. There was an empty cup and the bartender just removed it an asked for our drinks. Never offered water. We ordered 2 sandwiches and some fries and they gave us ONE very small and ridiculous portion of ketchup and ranch to a party of TWO. It looked like mini samples. Come on! Is not like Ketchup is expensive! And the food! Chicken bites were ok. Again small portions. Is this place selling samples?? Small drinks small sides small portions of everything. First bite on the Hamburger and no flavor just meh. Five guys is way better. But then we tried the chicken sandwich. It was extremely salty. As if they droped the salt on the mixed cabbage but they still served it like that. Same thing with the fries very salty. And the service was mediocre. Just one server for the entire restaurant.We are not planning on going back. Do yourself a favor and go to another place. There are a lot of options in Hillcrest. Just skip this place. The only good thing about it was the decorations but thats about it.I wish I can give zero stars.

The interior is very nice. Parking is tough. The service was ok. Food wise, I got the Nashville hot chicken for $22. The crunch wise nice and how it was serviced. Rest from price, value and taste it was quite disappointing. It missed everything from spiciness etc. the slaw was good. Wouldn’t come again.
