Reviews for Common Grounds Kitchen & Tap in Mesick, MI
We grabbed lunch here on the way through town on our way home from northern MI. The service was good and our waitress was... attentive. Our family ordered the brisket dinner, brisket sandwich, and kid's mac and cheese. Both brisket entrées were SOtough and chewy that it was like eating rubber tires. It was really stringy and had no flavor. We tried to remedy the meat byadding the sauces on the table but we didn't care for those either as we prefer thicker style sauces. My husband didn't finishhis brisket because it was so difficult to eat. The mac and cheese was decent. My daughter didn't particularly like the recipebecause it used bread crumbs but others may enjoy that style. Eat here with some precaution. Read more
Great place..I stopped in today with my grandson. He ordered a hotdog.. it came out on a homemade bun, with homemade fries. I... order a Caesar salad with beef tips. Salad was well dressed and the beef tips were delicious. Well seasoned and perfect mediumrare. Can't wait to return. Read more
Do NOT judge a book by its cover! This little place has an unassuming exterior, but the food and service are great. We stopped... here coming home from Traverse City after the Bayshore Marathon, starving. They had a gluten-free menu for my friend who isgluten-sensitive and the best homemade potato chips I have ever had. Good service, great food. I had an incredibly fresh Caesarsalad and their pretzel bites, which were perfect. We will definitely be back! Read more
This place is awesome, from the decor, to the service, to the food. It was cozy and modern. I recommend the espresso martini is... you?re a coffee fan. Don?t forget to add your personal stamp in the bathroom and write on the chalkboard wall! Read more
Great BBQ. We had the 3-meat for 2. Brisket ribs&sausage, mac&cheese, onion rings, Tater tots. Ed Sheran played the whole... meal. Full parking lot for a reason. Read more
The rib dinner was fantastic! The brisket tasted great, but left a little to be desired as the portion was small- they ran out... shortly after, so they may have been trying to stretch the supply. The sides were really good, with the exception of thebroccoli, which was mostly stems. But the mac & cheese, the coleslaw and the garlic mashed potatoes were great. We felt rushedout of there, unfortunately, as we weren't offered another beverage after receiving our bill. We will be back, as we joined thefrequent diners club and the remodel is SO nice. Give it a shot! The smoked meats are amazing! Get there early if you want totry the smoked sausage, they sell out daily. Read more
We decided to give this new restaurant a try tonight and we?re so glad we did! Our entire experience was absolutely wonderful.... We were happily greeted by two young ladies and quickly seated. Our server, Amanda came right over, introduced herself and tookour drink order. She was wonderful and very attentive the entire time. We ordered the Buffalo Chicken Dip as an appetizer; itcame out quickly and was really good! For entrees we ordered the Pulled Pork Tacos (they came with hand cut fries), TheFirestarter flatbread, and a Cauliflower crust with marinara and cheese. Everything tasted amazing!! While we were enjoying ourmeal, the restaurant was getting busier, (which is wonderful) and there were also a few young men working hard at refillingdrinks, clearing and thoroughly cleaning tables and chairs. Everyone was working hard as a team and it didn?t go unnoticed! Weare excited to have a great restaurant (especially with GF options) right here in Mesick and we will be back! Read more
