The Common Room - PENNSBURG

We went on a Sunday afternoon for a late lunch. It was not extremely busy which was nice. The bar is huge with big TVs at the top. The restaurant is a good size too. Their menu is bigger than your average diner menu, I actually thought it was overwhelming. The service was ok . What one person had ordered off of their special board they didn 't have. Two people in our party got the boneless ribs, they said the hot sauce was good. We also got a cheesesteak hoagie, 12 margarita pizza and I got the hot Italian sandwich which was extremely good. I thought the cheesesteak hoagie was ridiculously big. The person who ordered it basically had to reconstruct it in order to eat it. The other person said the pizza was awesome. Prices were average for the area. We would probably go back.

Food was excellent as always. Service was good, as well.. it is a bar with lots of large tvs, great for watching sports games.

Just came from this place, where I ordered a Caprese salad. For whatever reason it was swimming and what seem to be Italian dressing, that had very little or no flavor. The balsamic reduction was very sick and more like Jill than I have ever seen. The tomatoes were great big hunks and not sliced, which is what I'm used to in a Caprese salad. There was zero basil. Come to find out they ran out. I told the server to tell the cook that I would not have ordered it if I'd known they didn't have basil. I was never offered a substitute, much less offered any kind of refund. I'm not one trying to get refunds, but I like to be offered a solution. The server was the best part of the meal. Because she was nice. Her name was Jennifer, I believe. I have a big history with this place in that I have eaten there since the beginning. Jessie and Rosa would never have allowed all these things to happen. My mother is rolling in her grave. It's unlikely I will ever eat there again. It is clear the business owner doesn't care, or he would claim his business on Yelp.

The prosciutto ciabatta sandwich was delicious. They kindly added a balsamic glaze to it, which made the flavor palate even better. I ordered take out and the service was very fast. I would definitely order again!

My biggest issue is no matter, and I do mean no matter when you order takeout. If they say 30 minutes ... give them an hour easy or more. The Day of the week or a holiday event does not ever matter. Food is good, but the times quoted are worthless for pick up in takeout. Sad but true. This is not based on a one time order, this is the general for years coming here.
