Common Restaurant is located in the heart of downtown Savannah, overlooking the iconic Marshall House and Broughton St. The restaurant is housed in a National Historic Landmark building, c.1880s, that once housed Savannah’s Orpheum Theatre. Sister restaurant to Broughton Street staple, The Ordinary Pub, guests can expect the same innovative spirit fans of The Ordinary Pub have come to know from our award-winning team.

Our menu consists of elevated southern cuisine like our Lobster White Gumbo, Short Rib Hot Plate, and Curry Shrimp & Grits. Alongside our culinary creativity, guests can enjoy our craft bar experience with full dining, cocktail hour, curated cocktails, and our diverse wine list.

Common Restaurant caters to an adult experience and does not provide high chairs, booster seats, or a children's menu. Reservations available for up to 8 guests. Groups choosing to make multiple reservations will be seated per the server rotation and are not guaranteed to be near one another.

    Excellent restaurant experience. Food was delicious, and the ambience was superb. We were fortunate enough to sit a table overlooking the whole restaurant, so we were able to appreciate the scenery. Drinks were excellent and strong. Second time coming here, would recommend on a trip to Savannah.

    My steak was over cooked (I asked for medium it came well done) and seemingly was a very thick NY strip. My boyfriends lobster Mac was good. Waiter was awkward and had to be prompted for the specials, wanted us to order right away. And someone was spraying down a table and accidentally sprayed us. Not a great experience

    Great atmosphere, the food was very good, and although we had a great waiter named Ro, the staff was quite overworked, leaving long waits for drinks, dinner, and receiving the bill. Otherwise, it was a perfect evening, and I would recommend the restaurant to anyone.

    I went for a friends birthday. We asked for bottomless mimosas thinking we could make our own, instead they poured you glasses individually. It was basically all OJ and they were to busy that we basically had two mimosas with our breakfast. I also ordered oysters that I got VERY sick from. I was puking for two days straight and almost went to hospital for food positioning. This was the only thing I ate besides the breakfast Mac and cheese which was chunky and salty. I never leave reviews like this because I am in the industry myself. But this was the absolute worst. I don’t understand what the hype is about on yelp. The food and service quality for what I paid was horrible.

    Common is serving their unique twist on traditional dishes - using Kale vs. spinach in the Oyster Rockefeller, a "white" gumbo, green curry shrimp and grits, French toast points bread pudding, etc. I thought they were interesting and delicious. Portions were filling. Our servers recommended wine parings were spot on. Our server was friendly and efficient. Gret dining experience.

    Great atmosphere downstairs, but we were seated upstairs which was loud and didn’t have the same vibe, even though we had reservations. Seafood was overcooked but other items were good. Felt a bit rushed out of there. Perhaps a bad night for the kitchen, and I would request a downstairs table.

    Signature main dish was very good - short ribs. Appetizer - crab cake was VERY breaded. Dessert - bread pudding $15 was tasteless and lasted just 2 bites. Told the waitress about it left 95% of the dish on the plate and was still charged for it. We won’t be back and will pass along this experience to friends.
