The Common Grill is a dining experience worth the drive. Tucked into Chelsea, Michigan’s beautiful Main Street, they have been serving the community over 25 years. In an industry where restaurants come and go, you quickly realize why this restaurant has stood the test of time.

With a menu anchored around seafood, you’ll find familiarly delicious flavors served in an innovative style. We made sure to try lots of dishes so we could share our favorites! 

First up, THE BREAD! Brought to the table to start your meal, make sure to fight your instinct to eat roll after roll so you can save room for your meal.

This bread is a customer favorite at The Common Grill and you’ll want to come back just for these amazing rolls.

We love appetizers so we tried some of the most popular on the menu!
