    Pancakes bigger than the plate. This was the morning special.
    Fred L.

    Meeting cousins for breakfast. Friendly staff put us where we could get together. Waitress ,made sure as we straggled in, made sure we had drinks. When we ordered she helped us decide what we wanted. Our orders came out quickly and correct. Haven't been there before so didn't know what to expect. Mine came out larger than I expected, see picture. We all said how good the food was and the helpers made sure our drinks were always full and hot. I only got thru the top pancake! We will return. They also do lunch and dinner.

    Name has changed no big deal. It's Bonnie's Cafe now and to be honest hasn't improved. Went to use the restroom overall clean but their cook took the handicapped stall and isn't handicapped. Now food has severed on cold plates so eggs and steak where cold. Steak was their special so I expected a cheap cut and it was 50% fat and Rhine. Didn't expect it to be that bad.

    Egg white omelet with cheesy hash browns.  Yum.

    Great breakfast! My husband, mother-in-law and I enjoyed our meals. Service was good, plenty of coffee refills, and the prices were very reasonable. Love the interior of the restaurant with Cardinals decor everywhere!

    Occasionally, I get to Centralia to visit the cousins and we usually end up coming to the Corner Cafe for lunch.

It's 2:23 pm and we just walked in stood for about 5 minutes, could hear people talking in the back, watched a woman with gray hair push a cart through the dining room but no one ever greeted us. How long are you supposed to stand in someone's establishment without being greeted before you leave? And by the other reviews if THIS is the nicest place in town, I'm glad we're looking for something else. You had your chance Jerry!

I decided to have the large shrimp and crab salad. The serving was presented, and I was overwhelmed at the volume of it. The shrimp and crab both were chilled and fresh. Lettuce, boiled egg, cheese, tomato, onion, radish, and carrot filled the large bowl. For my dressing I used an Italian spiced vinaigrette that was delightful. The pricing of the Dish met to my satisfaction. However, the service and camaraderie was one of the main reasons I visit Jerry's. They make you feel welcome and provide an enjoyable ambience within their professional environment. I was deeply satisfied, as always.

    I arrived at Stillwater as an outsider, escorted by my wife's family, who had heard whispers that…read morethis was one of those places--a destination restaurant, the sort of establishment people point to with civic pride. From a distance, the building certainly announces itself. It rises from the landscape like a medieval fortress conceived by a committee: large, gray, turreted, and impossible to miss. There is even a towering tree stump near the entrance, carved and painted into the likeness of a knight standing guard behind an oversized shield. For a moment, you begin to imagine where this might be headed. Unfortunately, the knight appears to have consumed the entire decoration budget. If the exterior promises castle, the interior delivers conference center. Beyond the front doors lies a vast room of gray walls and corporate-event energy, a space that feels less like a feudal banquet hall than a regional insurance seminar waiting for its keynote speaker. There are hints of what might have been: handsome woodwork high in the ceiling, generous bay windows, an occasional flourish of stained glass. One particularly memorable panel depicts hot-air balloons, a design choice whose relationship to the medieval theme remains mysterious. The overall effect is less Camelot than convention center. I'd heard that professional baseball players had a hand in creating the restaurant, a fact that explains little and raises many questions. The menu is expansive in the way American roadhouse menus often are--large enough that nearly everyone can locate something familiar. Fried pickles arrived first, alongside potato skins. Both were exactly what fried pickles and potato skins ought to be: salty, crisp, comforting, impossible to dislike. A Caesar salad followed. I am perhaps unfairly demanding when it comes to Caesar salads, having spent years chasing the ideal balance of garlic, anchovy, lemon, and restraint. This version favored abundance over subtlety. The dressing arrived in force. It wasn't unpleasant, merely enthusiastic. My filet began promisingly enough. For most of the meal it was a respectable steak. Then, during the final few bites, the texture shifted into something I can only describe as mealy, as though the meat had suddenly decided to become something else entirely. It was an odd experience, one I've rarely encountered in a cut that expensive. The garlic butter I'd requested never appeared. The baked potato seemed to have been seasoned according to a philosophy of extreme minimalism. Around the table, I sampled broadly. The fries were battered and fried into that irresistible category of food that is simultaneously delicious and vaguely regrettable. The mac and cheese, however, was genuinely excellent--rich, creamy, and easily the most memorable thing I tasted all evening. My wife's salmon inspired little enthusiasm and even less appetite. A significant portion eventually made its way home, where our dogs greeted it with considerably more excitement than she had. The cocktail situation was more encouraging. An Old Fashioned arrived properly balanced and enjoyable, though accompanied by an odd sliver of ice that looked as if it had wandered in from another drink. After years of encountering Old Fashioneds served with monolithic cubes and crystal-clear spheres, the presentation felt strangely unfinished. At some point we climbed to the upper deck that locals speak of so fondly. The space unfolds across multiple levels overlooking a small pond, and it is pleasant enough, especially as evening settles in. Had we spent the meal there, perhaps some of the restaurant's appeal would have become clearer. But restaurants are accumulations of impressions, and mine had largely been formed downstairs among the gray walls and banquet-room atmosphere. Stillwater is a place of ambitions larger than its execution--a castle whose imagination seems to stop at the drawbridge. The building promises spectacle; the experience delivers competence punctuated by confusion. Should I find myself back in the area, I'll happily explore elsewhere. The knight out front can keep watch without me.
