Good food good beer. Cool lite menu that changes for time of day starting with Breakfast, the Breakfast bowls are great and finishing with late-night cheesestake pictured. Great local beer on tap and some to-go can options.
Staff is always friendly and smiling.
Tons after dinner entertainment, with open mic nights and robot fighting even board game and magic card and Vinyl nights.
I dont drink coffee but really cool coffee bar.
They also do punch cards for meals I think eat 10 get one free! -
Lunch today with friends… the chicken salad salad was delicious! It comes with a homemade ranch dressing which was also delicious! The Billy Club was a lot of meat and definitely not skimpy! Delicious! Especially the mixed greens (not iceberg lettuce). The portions are good sized. We will definitely eat here again.

Looked up great quick bites and lunch in the area, found this gem. Parking is limited but not terrible. The guy who assisted us in ordering was very informative and attentive. We had a Cobb salad and the Pimpin’D, a pimento cheese sandwich with tomato and bacon. Both entrees were excellent. Quality ingredients, much of it locally sourced. They have sandwiches, soups, salads. Vegan friendly and GF available. Additionally there is a coffee counter as well as a bar. Ice cream next door.

Good food but kind of expensive. Interesting set up inside. Pick drink and look at menu then order where the glowing neon sign is and they’ll call your name to the pick up window. Restroom is next to the menu board down the hall. Outdoor seating, ground floor seating and down stairs seating. There is a parking lot and thankfully we got parking there but if not there is street parking and public parking lot.

I only wish I could give this place 10 stars! In a sea of mediocrity, the Common Market in Durham is a shining star. Sharron, the GM was genuine and caring, provided excellent suggestions, and made this weary traveler feel welcome & at home. Stop by for a hand crafted sandwich & a beer or a latte. Amazing food & service! We will go out of our way to have a bite here!
