Took family here for brunch before Cubs game. Was looking for some healthy options and this place has plenty to choose from. Great vibe, bright and open. Service was outstanding, even taking extra care to make sure some of what my wife ordered didn't have soy (allergic). We ordered the French Toast, Smash burger, Baja fish tacos and soup/salad combo. All were excellent. Great place to eat ahead of game if you want healthier options.

Funky, fun, & friendlyWe visited on an overcast Thursday evening and were not disappointed! The cute garden outside had fun Edison-style bulbs and was very dog-friendly. Our pups made friends with the staff and were given a bowl of water. The wine and beer selection was solid without being overwhelming. While there wasn't an overwhelming amount of gluten-free options, there were more than enough options to find something. Uncommon Ground had interesting flavor combos in their salmon dish that I thoroughly enjoyed. I loved the crunch on the outside of moist salmon on a bed of avocado and berry purees. I was surprised at how well the flavors balanced each other beautifully! The flourless chocolate torte (GF) was a delicious and rich ending to a good meal! Tip: The carrot cake the table next to us ordered looked amazing! Unfortunately, they ordered one of the last slices so our group didn't get the chance to taste.

My husband came here with his dad before a Cubs game about a month ago, so when we went to a Cubs game a couple of weeks ago, this was the place my husband suggested to go beforehand. Therefore, he thought it was solid enough to bring me here for the first time!We made a reservation because we all know the Wrigleyville area can be crazy with people, and it was smart of us to make it because the restaurant was pretty busy when we got there. When we arrived, the host sat us at a cute 2-person table next to the bar area. Despite us being here on the rainiest day, the restaurant was brightly lit because of the large windows in the dining room. My husband informed me that there were more rooms in the restaurant that we couldn't see and that the room we were seated in was a bit different than the one he previously sat in. I LOVED the aesthetic of the room, and I loved that we were in the brightly lit one where we could see the bar, front door, and the street. We ended up staying at the restaurant later than planned because we watched the pouring rain outside.Service-wise, our waiter was extremely nice and friendly. He asked if we had been there before, and he then gave some drink suggestions. He checked on us throughout our visit and was accommodating. The food was amazing! On Saturdays and Sundays, they have a brunch menu that you order from, and I ordered the Biscuits and Gravy ($15). I am not exaggerating when I say this, but it was AMAZING and the best biscuits and gravy I have ever had. The gravy with the sausage was so flavorful and had a bit of spice. It was the PERFECT balance of a creamy texture. My husband ordered the Farmer's Market Scramble ($18), which has cheddar cheese, kale, asparagus, and red peppers. He got the side salad and a side of sausage links ($6). He LOVED his food and said that he could taste how fresh all of the ingredients were. The last time he came here, he ordered the Avocado Toast ($17) and loved that, as well, which is why he wanted to come back here and try something new. The drinks I ordered were great, as well! I ordered the Beermosa ($11) and also a Cubbie-Rita ($14). However, the waiter said that the machine that makes the Cubbie-Rita was broken at the time, so they made mine by hand, so honestly, mine might have been better than the machine one anyway! HahaOverall, I will ABSOLUTELY be back here, especially before any Cubs game we come to. The dining room is gorgeous, the food is delicious, and the service is friendly.

Pretty solid place for brunch. We had reservations for a party of 10. Service was fine and friendly. They have decent variety of brunch options and it is vegan and vegetarian friendly versions of many dishes. I tried the carnitas benedict and eggs were nice soft poached. I liked they offer an option to have a side salad on many of the dishes. Many people ordered the chilaquiles. The Brussels sprouts were so awesome to share...I would order this again. They also have enticing list of cocktails and mocktails, which was very nice. It's quite accessible by bus or the red line.

My friend and I split the strawberry pancakes and the chilaquiles and it was pretty average. The pancakes were my favorite- soft and fluffy, plus not too sweet. The chilaquiles were kind of bland, but the portion sizes were large and filling. I was most disappointed with the coffee. I ordered an iced lavender latte and it tasted like straight up milk. I even had to order another espresso shot to add in and it didn't make it any better. With that price, you're better off going elsewhere for coffee. Service was pretty quick so that was good.

Great vegan chicken sandwich. Amazing organic coffee. Non-dairy milk (oats) available and it's smooth. Friendly service. I strongly recommend the patio.

Service was fantastic. Super helpful with suggestions. Food was delicious. We loved the brussel sprouts. I got the grilled cheese and tomato soup and it was a feel good homey meal. Their sweet potato fries might be some of my favorite in the city.

This was a 5 star chicken sandwich and the whole experience was delicious and on point.Was recommended by our hotel staff and they didn't disappoint at all. All of the ingredients were fresh, wholesome, and even felt healthy. Great place to dine if in the city. I will be back.

I cannot put into words how incredible my experience at Uncommon Ground was. The staff is my family. And I am in love with the manager with gorgeous blue eyes and curly brown hair. His knowledge on craft beer changed my life. The smash burger was worth every penny ($19.99). Safe to say I'll be back and bringing friends.
