Pickle board was huge and amazing, crispy potato bowl (plus brisket! was amazingly filling. Highly recommend.

Both were out of this world! Flavors just pop, bright brilliant and savory all around! Ask for a toasted bun withthe fried chicken salad and you will be in heaven! Great staff great chef and real nice open environment right in the middle ofthe neon district!

I had their equivalent of a French dip and it was ok, but the only real flavor I was getting out of it was salt. The other diner I was with had afried chicken sandwich that seemed to me was over cooked. It was very dark like it had been fried too long and had a slightlybitter burned flavor. It wasn't horrible, the wait staff were very nice. But I probably wouldn't go back.

They have GREAT customer service too. But the food itself is alright at best. Some things aregood: their cocktails, their brisket, their eggs. But otherwise, there's a distinct lack of flavor. I got one of the bowls lasttime and it was really disappointing (chicken was so bland, unseasoned rice but the veggies and pesto were good! . My husbandhad a burger that was very dry. My gin cocktail was amazing though!! So just be concious of what you order and don't be afraidto be specific about what you want. Ask the staff their opinions too! Commune is a staple in downtown Norfolk but because I loveit, I gotta be honest.
