Nice little tap house in the Downtown area of Turlock. Came here with the wife on a Thursday night just to go out and grab some food. They had a DJ playing music, was kinda lively. We don't drink Alcohol but the had some Non-Alcoholic beers to purchase that were actually pretty good. I will have to say the Burger I ordered was pretty darn good (Black and Blue Burger) I took the onion rings and put it on the burger with gave it a nice crunch! Their ranch that they give on the side must be homemade because it was pretty good! The pretzel was huge, not a fan of the cheese but the mustard was very good. It's not a sit down restaurant, you have to go up and place your order and they give you a number. Overall it was a cool chill little place, just wished on a chilly night they would've had the doors closed, but hey. read more

Food was amazing, but the service was not the best. When ordering, the cashier was extremely rude when taking my order and even when he flipped the tablet. Even when asking for a box, the other server was rude. I've come before, and it was definitely a different experience. Overall, other than the service, it's a great location to talk and dine. read more

What a great spot!! Commonwealth has totally hit the mark with their beers. My husband and I came with some friends as we were visiting from out of town. Our group came for drinks, apps, and to play games. The space is a great hangout spot. We had lots of beers and ciders and each one was better than the next. My husband found his new fav beer (can't recall the name but something with the bees knees). The apps we had too were yummy. The garlic fries took the cake with a nice texture and size of Fry with the perfect amount of seasoning. The staff was friendly and accommodating and the space was great for us to hang as a group of 6 and play monopoly deal all while enjoying the food and drinks of Commonwealth. I will definitely be coming back when I'm back in the area. read more

Overall an excellent experience. A good sized group went here yesterday between a dry wedding and an even drier reception and all had a great time. The menu was great. I had my favorite Fieldwork hazy and others had the Pliny and red and white wines. Service was great. Fast and responsive. Ambiance was good too. We all felt comfortable and safe in downtown Turlock. Everything was clean and bathrooms were clean too. Highly recommend going back soon! read more

Good service, good food, nice open patio! I had the Heartbreaker And my partner had the Monty Cristo. They have a small rotation of craft brews, so this round was orchata beer=cinnamon +lacose+cinnamon, 7%abv. It went great with our brunch dishes! Folks that work here are knowledgeable about the beers and will very patiently explain each beer. This is in downtown Turlock , the patio is a great spot to people watch. Dif our hang out spot. read more

Stopped by for drinks with some friends and loved the variety of beer options available. The vibe is great and very welcoming. We split the buffalo garlic chicken wings, which were nicely fried, crispy, and coated in a super flavorful sauce. Overall, a fun spot to relax, grab a drink, and enjoy some tasty bites with friends. read more

Stopped in for a late night bite after a Christmas party. The, staff was very friendly and helpful. Ordered the Commonwealth burger with fries. Great burger taste, plenty juicy, lots of garnishes in there. Wish the meat patty was bigger though. Plenty of fries, were VERY crispy! Not in a burnt way, just a very pleasant crispy way. Glad I stopped in. read more

Now I remember why I don't go here. It was 50 degrees outside when I arrived to meet a friend. concrete floors. High ceilings. Aesthetics are good. However, when you are so cold and feel like you're in an icebox... not fun. I had to switch my plan from beer to a red wine so I didn't have to hold a cold glass of beer. I told the gal at the front how cold it was and after hearing how they aren't cold... she turned around and told the guy wearing shorts to turn it up 1 degree. yes. Just 1 degree. Um... seriously. I asked her to look around and not one person had their coat off. That's a sign we are all cold. I don't know about all of you, but I like to be cozy and take my coat off and relax when I go out. My salad was marginal. my friend had the pork tacos and 1 chicken. He said they were fine. On another note... I had to leave a tab open to order my wine before my friend got there. I told her we would be eating as well. My friend ended up putting it on his card. But here we are 2 days later and I have a $1 pending on my card. I called Commonwealth and she said it automatically charges your card $1 and it should get reversed in 48 hours. Now, I know it's only $1, but, this never happens anywhere else. If you go to a bar and "keep it open" I have never been charged $1 on top of a bill to keep tab open. Have you?? It's my dollar, not yours to keep for 48 -72 hours! lol. Won't be back unless it's warmer out ...I may try. But customers were saying it's really hot in there in summer. So that's a hard no for me. Don't say I didn't warn you. read more

The husband and I came here on a Sunday for the brunch menu and were pleased with the food and experience. I got the BLEAT sandwich (fried egg, bacon, tomato, lettuce, on sourdough with a lemon aioli) and he got the chicken and waffles. The aioli on the sandwich really lightened the flavor and was refreshing. Overall my husband liked his choice but would prefer that the chicken breast to be beaten thinner. The waffle was delicious. Good music, good service, good beer! We'll be back for brunch to try more. read more

We have never had any issue till last night, we ordered chicken wings and they weren't cooked all the way, you could

Always a good spot to have a beer and some fries. Very nice and attentive staff. Everything on the menu is good!

Worse service and the food was gas station quality! Counter service only, and charged a 15% gratuity! For what? Owner is rude and unprofessional, kitchen staff dirty and under dressed. Would not go back if it was the only place in Turlock!! And if there was less then one star that's what they would get! read more

Terrific burgers and great sauces and outdoor seating perfect! Service great too with high quality beef and fries!

I loved this place. Been to the one in Modesto but never here. Prices are still reasonable! Tacos, salads, burgers and sandwiches. Very accommodating on changing up an item. Order at counter and they bring out your food. Clean, open concept, and you choose a spot. Will be back. Not fine dining but good food and good prices and delicious!!! I will be back. read more

The food was pretty good and the drinks were very tasty and quickly served, but the employees and/or owner dont seem to understand what a "burger" is. The description for their Dwayne Rock Johnson burger says two 1/3lb "burgers" (which SEEMS like a good deal for the price), but what it means is two 1/3lb "patties". When I brought this up after receiving my meal the server just said "yes those are two 1/3lb burgers". Not wanting to cause a scene I let it go, but beware and ask for clarification on their foodstuffs. read more

Went there last minute and enjoyed the food. I had the Napa Nachos and liked them. They were made with homemade potato chips and I was surprised that the combination worked. My wife had a glass of wine. $9.70 and a small pour. Not impressed with that. The place is clean with a relaxed atmosphere. read more

We LOVE Commonwealth. As locals we visit a couple of times a month. ...arguably the best burger in Turlock.

I am moving my rating up to 5 stars. Food has drastically improved since they opened. Always have at least three quality dark beers on rotation!Their Sunday brunch menu is very reasonably priced. read more

Commonwealth Turlock - SOS from the Sunday brunch menu. - New American Near Me - Turlock, California

The food was great. The atmosphere was awesome and the weight was very short. We will definitely be going back and eating there again.

I was super excited Commonwealth has made its way to downtown Turlock. Buuuuuut Commonwealth Turlock is not Commonwealth Modesto :( I've come to this spot a few times and the food has just been a hit or miss multiple times. Food menu at both locations are similar. Turlock carries buffalo cauliflower bites which I was so excited about and I LOVED the first time I tried them. The next few times I got them, they were not good at all, an odd slimy texture...probably just a bad batch. The ranch has also tasted super funky. My go to entree order is a Thai crunch salad, which also has been disappointing at the Turlock location. Watery and not crunchy: my salad lovers know what I'm talking about. I really hope it's just growing pains on the food because I haven't had issues in Modesto before. This spot is casual and super easy to order, just walk up and take a seat, which is nice. Solid spot for a beer and catching up with friends. They have a good combination of ciders, hard seltzers, light and malt brews. The michelada isn't half bad either! read more

Never been here before probably good thing. Walked in very cold bartender or girl behind bar didn't acknowledge us no hi welcome in. Place felt dirty, after 10 minutes girl kinda threw menus on the table and told us no table service. We got up and left went to Grays tavern was so much better! Going from worst customer service to absolute a 10 at Grays. Hire new help or not going to be open much longer! read more

Food was very yummy for the whole family and prices were amazing! Sandwich selection was good

We brought family from out of town here today to have brunch. It was about 11:15am and wanted to make sure we sat inside as it was already close to 90° out... my husband started to fan himself with the menu and then I started getting warm. I looked over at a table of women who had already received their meals and they were also fanning themselves. My son walked over to Memo's and promptly returned to let us know the AC was on high there. I was disappointed to say the least but it probably saved us from having way too many beers on a hot day. I'm not sure who is running this establishment but please... do not skimp on the AC when we are in triple weather conditions... some of us spend more money when we are cool and happy... just ask Memo's... read more

Meh...beer list was pretty good. Lots of variety, but much less than what their website says. The guy who worked there, not sure of his name, dark hair with bleach in it, maybe he was having a bad day. Not rude, but seemed annoyed. The lady was super nice and helpful. We got in line and grabbed menus. The guy at the register asked if we were ready, we weren't so I asked if we could sit down. He said we could and said it was open seating. Maybe I misunderstood, but I asked if we could sit and have our order taken. I thought he said yes. We sat down and waited for about 15 minutes. Nobody came, so we went back to the register and ordered. This is fine, but maybe have a sign that explains this. I watched as other people sat down like us and waited for service. My wife and I both got burgers with garlic fries. The fries were pretty good. The burgers weren't bad, but we didn't get to choose how we wanted them cooked. They came out well done and were dry. Took a while for them to come out, too. It was after lunch hour, but it looked like they had two wait staff and unknown how many in the kitchen. I'm not sure if we will try it again read more

When I heard Commonwealth was coming to town I was excited! They have another location in downtown Modesto that's a downtown staple. Was greeted by Adam - super friendly and energetic bartender Ordered a Bonanza burger - bbq, bacon, onion rings, cheddar cheese, and jalapeños. Burger was the perfect size and tasted fresh. Fries were also fresh. Also ordered some garlic Buffalo wings. Again, great! They have just the right amount of garlic where it's not too much. Ranch dipping sauce (made in house) also fantastic! For beer I tried a Fruit Punch sour 7% - refreshing, light, very flavorful Definitely recommend this place! Give them a try! Great beer, customer service, and food! read more

Was looking for lunch and ended up at Commonwealth. Had been wanting to try it out. If you like beers on top and pub style food, this place is for you. This restaurant is the kind you order at the counter and take a number to your table and they bring it out. 2pm on a Monday, it wasn't very busy at all. The menu is on the smaller side, in my opinion. I ended up choosing thr craft taco plate, where you choose any 3 out of 6 taco offerings and get a side of fries. My husband ordered the mack sandwich, also with fries. For my tacos, I chose the Tika, coconut curry and the Bahn mi. All 3 of them had a nice flavor. The coconut curry was really authentic tasting. I think my favorite was the Bahn mi. It's made with pulled pork, where the other 2 were both chicken. The fries are thin and crispy, perfectly salted and addicting! The server brought out the wrong sandwich at first, but quickly went and retrieved the correct plate. The Mack is on a big cheese biscuit, with a hunk of fried chicken. Unfortunately, the pickles were super vinegary (they were still tasty) but that flavor seemed to consume most of the sandwich. The brine soaked into the biscuit, so you really taste it. Also, the amount of mustard was lacking. My husband looooooves mustard and it was whole grain and could only see a few grains here and there. I chose to get a beer on tap. The girl at the front suggested a few when I asked and let me sample them. I went for the apical dominance, which has a nice happy flavor, without being too overpowering. A downside...if you're not a beer drinker and come to have some grub with a friend, there's not many options for you. My husband didn't want a beer, so his options were coke, sprite, iced tea or lemonade. He opted for iced tea, but it's unsweetened and sugar doesn't dissolve in cold tea. Would like to see some other options for non-beer drinkers. read more

At approximately 2:00 pm we walked in the door and were greeted by a female server who continued to just walk past us and said have a seat. We sat at the table for approximately 15 minutes. ( the restaurant was only about a 1/4 full) The female server came out from the back and spoke with a seated customer at the counter. The male server stood at the counter area looking at his phone not doing anything. He did glance at us three times but did not move in our direction. At that point we left your restaurant and went to Mimo's restaurant across the street where we received excellent service along with a delicious lunch. read more

I'm a regular at this place usually only come in for drinks but from time to time I like to get food but unfortunately they can never get that part right. I always order chicken and waffles and every time something is missing once my chicken was missing. Although the food doesn't hit the service is amazing everyone who works in the front does a great job at cleaning the area and making sure we have everything we need. This picture was our most recent experience with the food. read more

the most insane and unhinged interaction i have ever had with a MANAGER of an establishment. typically it's the entry level employees, but this time it was the person in charge which is so embarrassing and funny. we had placed an order for a sandwich. my bf swears he said fried. manager swears he said grilled. whatever. all i asked for, very respectfully, was to get it fixed. the server takes my plate (passive aggressively but whatever) and then 2 minutes later the manager comes out huffing and puffing, all red in the face like she ran 5 miles. she was insisting and swearing up and down that my bf ordered it grilled and that she can replace it but we ABSOLUTELY had to know that he ordered it wrong. when i explained to her i wasn't upset about the food but more upset about her approach and tone she started to moan and groan about how it's been a long day and it's just a terrible day( take a break next time???). My bf and i tried talking to her and she kept telling us she's too busy to stand there and talk and i looked at her like ????? like girl u at work... where your job is to serve ... and talk..... HUH? anyways the whole experience felt like a fever dream. i'm never going back and i wouldn't really recommend this place to anyone. the food looked good but it's never worth eating your food somewhere when u know it's a norm to speak to your customers like that especially since the manager sets the tone for all the other employees. BIG YIKES. read more

The male cashier told us to sit until we've decided what to order even though there is no line. We ordered two taco plates (6 tacos); choice of five fillings.

They did horrible with service and ignored us for an hour. I understand it was a bit packed but they served tables that were there after us. We had to ask where our order was and then they decided to tell us it was almost out when they could have told us a while ago that the kitchen is busy and that it'll take 10-15 more minutes before the food arrived but nothing. They also were rude and ignored us for most of the time. I get it you order ur own food but I still thought they went from table to table to check on their customers but I guess not? What's the point of the tip if they aren't actually doing anything but handing out the food? I just wish that they provided more than just serving and actually connected and spoke to the customers instead of standing behind the counter. I do hope that they do better with this feedback and actually improve in their business. read more

Service is combative and unacceptable. They argue with you and continue to tell the customer they can't place an order. We were told we could order lunch at 2pm. We waited until 2:10 and were still told we couldn't place our order. We asked if we could get fires while we waited as we saw most customers had fries. Again told no. When I showed a look of frustration, manager walked up to me with an aggressive tone, "WHAT!?" Threw her hands up and lunged at me. She continued to argue with my husband and when he told her I'm tired of your excuses she continued to lay into him. He asked her to end the conversation three times before she finally walked away. I witnessed them giving special treatment to the customers who bought them alcohol. There's no reason for the manager to be rude and aggressively attack as if she was ready to fight. You should never make your customers feel as if you're going to beat them up. If you want them to give any kind of service you better get them drunk as that's the only reason they provide service. Every single review you read about the terrible service BELIEVE IT!! read more

Commonwealth has great burgers and fries! They also have nachos, salads, chicken options and wings. Typical bar food that tastes great. The beer selection is quite large (about 15+) and they change their beers often so you're able to try new beers. Walk up to place your order. They give you a number...find a table and they deliver the food to your table. Plenty of TV's to watch sports too. read more
