Let me start off by saying that I know I have already blogged about The Common Man Restaurant in Merrimack, but the meal I had there the other night cannot go unmentioned. Plus, The Common Man is always consistent when it comes to good food, great service and affordable prices. It also doesn’t hurt that the manager visits every table on a nightly basis.

Saturday evening, I went to The Common Man for a late dinner, and decided to sit upstairs in the lounge area so I didn’t have to wait for a table. Upstairs has the same menu as downstairs, with an additional pub grub menu. The pub menu has regular items such as nachos, burgers and even pizzas, but the Uncommon Flatbread ($5.99) is just as it reads. Topped with smooth butternut squash, sliced apples and cheddar cheese, this warm, perfectly soft Fall-inspired bread was the ideal blend of comforting flavors. On the side, I ordered a heaping portion of Sweet Potato Fries ($4.99), which were fried and seasoned to perfection. However, the real star of this dish was the maple syrup for dipping the sweet potato fries in. You will never go back to fries and ketchup after trying this combo. Assuming there is a Heaven, and assuming I make it there one day, this is the meal I will be eating for eternity.
