Common Theory, San Diego CA

Got the Smoked Tri-tip sandwich and fries. Tri-tip is best served medium rare. This Tri-tip was very lean, but cooked very well-done. As a result, it was a bit dry. The fries were good. Overall, it was very pricey for what I got.

Food was OK. Horseradish sauce is overpowering, ceaser salad is fine, fries are the cheap variety but well prepared. The waitstaff seems to lack leadership, like they're all just trying to figure it out. The biggest problem is the price. 1 fancy burger, fries, a salad, and 1 beer was over $40 all said. There's nothing wrong with this place, but you'll get more satisfaction by going somewhere like 5guys.

Beautiful place with very upbeat service and great food. We ordered too much because everything on the list is tempting.

Hidden inside Common Theory is the Realm of the 52 Remedies, although it's not too hidden, just look left when entering. Expect a hefty tab for the purposes of dining in an eclectic interior designed space.

We had a wonderful experience for our party (10}. The staff was helpful and friendly, and the food was amazing. 3 of us ordered the bulgogi cheese steak sandwich, 1 burger, kids meals and brews. Highly recommend it and we'll definitely return on our next trip to SD

Great atmosphere and drinks. Had a sweet tooth and went for a few blondes and the bread pudding; delicious.

Common Theory is a go to spot in Convoy. Today we had both delicious food and incredible service. Our server, Josue, despite being new to this restaurant showed that he’s a veteran in the service industry. His attentiveness and attention to detail made the dinner flow so well and made it twice as enjoyable. Thanks for the hospitality Josue!

Have enjoyed the beer flights and food which has changed over the years. I appreciate they keep several sour options on tap. Indoor and outdoor seating. Large with lots of seating options. Always clean.

Great beer selection, delicious food and friendly service.

They have a really unique menu that spans a wide variety of types of foods and some really interesting fusion dishes. Iv’e had a good portion of the items on the menu and everything has been amazing!

This is quickly becoming a staple eatery for us!

Very standard bar in town, lot of great tasting cocktails and a pretty big selection of drafts or anything else! The food was above average and big in serving besides the pretzel bites.

The food is decent.but the actual restaurant always smells like that one lysol scent that is never bought.

Service and ambience was great. I had the sisig bowl and honestly it was not very good, some ingredient tasted bad to me. I would try ordering something else.

They said it was a 45 minute wait but most of the tables looked empty so that was odd but bar seating was open. The bartender was quick to take care of us the drinks were cold. The place was kind of loud but that's what you can expect from a bar?

We sat at the bar. Good beer selection, especially their rare bottles. Nice ambience. Didn’t try any food, however.

Loved the salmon bowl, I could eat that every week! Slow service weekday lunches but at least our work team didnt need a reservation

My business partner and I come here to work and eat lunch. This is our 4th visit. We usually arrive between 12 - 3pm. The place is consistently understaffed. It takes 15 plus mins to place and order but the food does come out fast. The service once you are acknowledged is good. I hope the company is able to staff appropriately, if not I don't think we will continue to come here.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I'm still drooling duck. Duck fries were. Can't wait for 52 Remedies. Bravo to everyone, but especially Johnny. Thank you for an AWESOME BIRTHDAY DINNER!

Better than expected due to the location. Nice patio with shade or sun, and the turkey burger was killer.

Outstanding service, good food and large craft beer selection. Great service. Riley is the best!
