Yummy! by Heather G. at InsiderPages

We went here last Mother's Day and it was packed. I had heard about this place many times and it lived up to its reputation for delicious food. Our service was a little slow and it was quite noisy inside but,...

Yelp.com Review - by mariah c.

5.0 of 5 stars. I grew up in Chelsea, so I witnessed this town's total transformation over the past 10-15 years. It's gone from being much more rural to being somewhat of a bedroom community to Ann Arbor. I think...

5.0 of 5 stars. Probably the best tuna I had ever had was at Common Grill. It was so big and thick, I could not even finish it. I went around Christmas time, so the atmosphere was warm and cozy. I need to make...

World class dining by L K. at InsiderPages

My family and I used to go here for every special occasion. We loved it. I could eat my weight in the bread they leave on your table. But then they upped the prices by about $10 a plate and cut their...

Very good..as usual!

I don`t get to Chelseas very often but every time I am there I eat at the Common Grill. I went there today with my wife for lunch. Started out with the seafood gumbo and the signature fresh rolls..(outstanding) My wie had the perch and I had the whitefish, both were delicious. The only problem is the rolls are so good I was too full for desert. Can`t wait to eat there agin.

We regularly drive 80 miles for dinner at the Common Grill. The pasta is always very flavorful, the fish incredible and fresh and the service is very attentive. Continues to be my Michigan favorite.
