The Common Man Ashland

We love The Common Man. It's always been great, but we haven't visited in a while. We were really sad to see that they renovated the first floor and it looks ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE! They did away with everything that made the place unique, and now it looks super generic, like Cracker Barrel and Chili's had a baby. Whomever had the idea to do the renovation should be put on an iceberg and set adrift at sea. I've attached photos so you can see how beautiful it was before, and how bland it is now. So disappointing.

I think it might have been my favorite meal in America (and I live in New York). The atmosphere, history, the staff — all add to the cozy “at home” feel. All of the food we ordered was absolutely delicious and very very consistent. Will definitely be back once in the area! Thank you!!

We've been going to this place for many many year and had kind of written it off because they've struggled so hard to get consistent staffing (that can cook) since covid. We got a gift certificate and were using it... it seems like they've turned the corner and started to return to bring a quality restaurant. They are good about comping meals if you bring a mistake to their attention, but I think everyone just rants to get a good meal. It's good to see them getting it back together.

Loved The Common Man Ashland, my boyfriend and I went there for our 2 year anniversary, it's now my favorite restaurant in the Plymouth area. Great experience, delicious food, and our server, Josh, was GREAT. Checked in on us when needed, strongly influenced our dessert choice, which was delish as well, had such a positive attitude, and overall was a great server. Next time we go we are going to request him specifically as he was the epitome of a great server. Props to you Josh!

My husband and I came for a late lunch on a Wednesday afternoon. I ordered the pork pork mac & cheese, which was excellent. my husband ordered pot roast, which was tender and so much meat. He couldn’t even finish the vegetables and he’s a big eater. I love to decor and the atmosphere is very pleasant. Might’ve found my favorite place to eat!
