Some of the reviews make me genuinely sad. This cafe was honestly a huge hit that I came back a week after I’d eaten there because the meal I ate was so good. The food is seasoned incredibly well, which you don’t see a lot. The flavour is simple, but still gives the classic home cooked feeling you crave. The staff were very kind, always served very quickly. Will definitely go back!

Great food, good sized portions. Nice atmosphere. We all thoroughly the breakfast, between us we had ‘The Hulk’, ‘Eggs on Toast’ and ‘Wicked waffles with fried chicken’. We all left very satisfied.

Great place for lunch on a sunny Friday afternoon. Love the convenience of ordering via Qcode at the table and although 5 of us ordered separately all meals arrived together. Super quick and efficient. Fish was cooked perfectly and the salad was fresh and tasty. 1 star removed due to the chips being overcooked and a bit burnt.Do recommend and will be back.

DO NOT RECOMMEND!If you want disgusting food and have low expectations of food then this is the place to go. From someone who travelled to Melbourne interstate this is not the type of food that should clearly represent Melbourne. Not a lot of variety of food on the menu. Overcooked steak. My partner and I asked for medium - well done and, it was literally burnt on the bottom and, extremely chewy, pretty much inedible, very expensive for what it was.The coating on the chicken wings were disgusting and overpowering, couldn't taste the chicken. The cucumber was so soft like it was off and didn't taste fresh and the chips were cold. Waiting on the food took a really long time even though it wasn't busy and, they didn't even sell coke. Very disappointing because this place is in such a nice spot.

Highly Recommend this place. The staff were lovely and we were seated right away. We had to sit outside as inside was full so the staff bought us over another heater.Despite being a packed out restaurant the food arrived quickly and was absolutely delicious.The pulled beef burger and the Hawaiian pizza were amazing!

Food and drinks were amazing! The meals were huge, could be shared or taken away. Staff were super friendly and the food and drinks came out super quick. The QR codes made ordering super quick and easy. We sat outside watching the cricket on the big screen, such a great spot!

My first time trying the breakfast offerings and I opted for the basic smashed avocado which did not disappoint. A generous helping of feta paired with a nice water view kept me quite satisfiedMost recentI used to work about three metres from this place so I've eaten here plenty of times and I don’t think it’s deserving of its low score. The menu has something for everyone including vegan and kids options though I am sad to see the steak sandwich disappear. Will try the flourless chocolate cake next timeLatestCommon man is screening the footy with contactless ordering which makes it the perfect place to be! I had a Margherita pizza which was delicious. Friday night is usually heaving with the after work crowd making it super loud but given covid it’s much quieter now which is kind of nice as it means you can actually catch up with friends and hear each other!RecentSomething possessed me to try a chicken salad at Common Man today which was kind of nonsensical as the purple patch area outside was serving frozen chambord cocktails and had fun lawn games set up. Nothing against my healthy salad but I’ll definitely be back for one of the cool events they run out there, perhaps bottomless brunch or outdoor trivia they seem to do these really wellFurther updateI met some friends for lunch last week for a quick steak sandwich which absolutely hit the spot. It’s the second time I’ve had this here and not much has changed other then the presentation of the fries, consistently delicious!UpdateI met some friends here for dinner as they were staying at the nearby Travelodge hotel. Having been only once before for dinner and that being during daylight savings it was quite a different experience on a dark night and decidedly more quiet.I liked the look of two salads on the menu and the staff actually let me merge them which was quite yummy but the food took a long time to come. Having the shops open after dinner was very handy tooOriginal reviewI went to the ballet at the exhibition centre so popped in here for dinner prior. It's a good pre-show option as it's quick and nearby. We were told to order at the counter which I think was due to it being so close to Christmas and really busy as every other time I've been it's table service. I had calamari and a house made iced tea both enjoyable. It was certainly a very popular venue of a Friday night

I usually order 2 plates of food at every restaurant because I love to eat and try new things with one safe bet! So the plate directly front of me was the safe pick and oh boy it was great! I highly recommend it!My second plate was also amazing, it was a waffle with Bacon and eggs plus syrup!I really don’t mix savory and sweet so what I ate the eggs and bacon first the. The waffles :)Just a heads up the bacon is not American Bacon. But it’s still delicious.

Great venue with polite staff.Easy ordering system if you are tech savvy.Food was good but coffee was way too hot had to add water to make it drinkable after 20mins, but coffee was nice.I had a strange choice the breakfast pizza and it did not disappoint.Great spot at the dfo south bank.
