Eight Thirty Common

Loved this place. I got the beet salad with chicken it was gluten free. It was so good I can't wait to go back. I can't stop thinking about it so yummy. My partner had the French dip and he said it was so good.

They wouldn’t provide gluten free options and didn’t allow all substitutions. Only one gluten free bread that couldn’t be used for everything. Chefs refused to alter their dishes for allergies. When asked questions were also very rude. As someone who has been here before, I was disappointed again. Bloody Mary’s were great and that’s about it:(

Wow, where to begin? 4.5 stars! We were able to dine outside on a beautiful March evening, which set a lovely scene to dine. The actual restaurant inside is pretty packed and tables were pretty close together but it was nicely decorated. I’m not sure if I would bring a wheel chair user or child based off of the layout of the tables and how echo-y it was; could be overstimulating for children. The menu: is not super big but still has quite a few options! I was pleased that they had a gluten free bun ($3 upcharge) and that their fries and tots were gluten free. Their truffle cheesy tots appetizer was absolutely one of the best things I’ve ate this year so far. And it was gluten free? Unheard of. I do want to note that they do NOT have a dedicated gluten free fryer so while it is gluten FRIENDLY. I would NOT consider this establishment celiac safe. I ordered the “grown up grilled cheese”. Wow. Wow. Wow. I did eat the sourdough which upset my stomach - but it was almost worth it 👀 the spicy pimento cheese and sweet and spicy bacon and fresh tomato all came together in such a refreshing and exciting way, it just dances on your palette. It came with a tomato soup - they should cal it something different because it is SO MUCH MORE than a tomato soup. It is rich, decadent and just bursting with flavor. My husband who doesn’t like tomato’s of any kind - said it was delicious! My husband ordered the Crispy Chicken sandwich and really enjoyed it. He noted he wished there was more flavoring ; either in the breading or toppings but really liked it all the same. Their signature ETC sauce was delicious. I also enjoyed a huckleberry lemonade, very yummy. It didn’t just taste like syrup, it was tangy and sweet! We will be returning! What kept this from being a full 5 stars, the staff while nice was not very knowledgeable about the menu, or enthusiastic to help us order. No recommendations or suggestions of what to enjoy - which would have been nice for our first time. Also the bathroom was not so clean - not awful but I expected less trash.
