A straightforward burger spot with a clean setup and a clear focus. One visit, mid-day, not overly busy, which made it easy to see how things run without pressure. **FOOD** The burger delivered. Good flavor, cooked properly, and built with some balance. Nothing overworked or trying too hard. It came out the way a burger should. That alone puts it ahead of a lot of places. Portion and price lined up well. No stretch there. Food: **SERVICE** Staff handled things well. When asked about the menu, they gave clear recommendations without dragging it out or pushing anything. Food came out in a reasonable time, no confusion, no missed steps. It was a lighter crowd, so it's not a stress test, but what was there was handled cleanly. Service: **AMBIENCE** The space is clean and comfortable. Nothing distracting, nothing out of place. There's a bit of a modern quiet to it. A few groups sitting together, all on their phones. Not the restaurant's fault, but it does change the feel of the room. Two people in the whole place actually looking up from their tables. That stood out more than anything else. **CLOSING** This is a place that does the basics right. Good burger, fair price, solid service, clean environment. Nothing flashy, but nothing falling apart either. That's usually what keeps a place in rotation. **RATINGS** Food: **** Service: **** Ambiance: **** Overall: **** Personal Disclaimer: I value small, independent restaurants and want them to succeed. This review reflects a single visit and may not represent every experience. EVERY RESTAURANT IS WORTH TRYING FOR YOURSELF. Go, see what you get, and be honest in how you evaluate it. I've worked as an executive chef, restaurant manager, and owner. I tend to hold places to a higher standard. Execution matters. Freshness matters. Effort shows. Cutting corners usually does too. read more

Hit or miss. Always a long wait for to go orders. They have run out of fries and most recently their signature corner sauce. How does that happen when it's literally in the name. Food is just okay. read more

Updating my review: the girl that takes your order makes it known she hates being there. We tried the brunch this time and I got the chicken biscuit. The piece of chicken was a chicken tender not a breast, the breakfast burger was very dry. The staff in the back were incredibly nice, though. I wouldn't return again. Not worth the price, unwelcoming feeling, and food in my opinion. read more

Corner Burger - Chicken biscuit - Burgers Near Me - Forest, Virginia

Ordered the Crack Burger, what I got was more like a pre-made frozen patty from Sam's Club. No Cream cheese, ranch mix grated cheese or bacon and no Corner Sauce and was not made smash style. McDonald's Quarter Pounder with cheese would have been better! read more

Excellent fresh food by an even better service staff!! This spacious clean restaurant is always clean and hygienic! I love coming here with my friends! Highly recommend this place! read more

Corner Burger delivered a delicious and memorable meal. Our server was friendly and brought out the utensils and Corner Sauce ahead of time, which was a thoughtful touch. My friend ordered the footlong hotdog topped with housemade chili, chopped bacon, cheddar cheese, mayo, and their signature Corner Sauce, he said it was pretty good! The tables were clean as well! The corner fries were deliciously crispy, topped with parmesan and flaky salt, and full of flavor. I had the goat cheese and fig jam burger, and it was outstanding. The caramelized onions had the perfect light crunch, the fig jam added a sweet balance, and the goat cheese was smooth and creamy. I like my burgers cooked well-done, and they nailed it. Drinks and sides were sold separately, which made the meal a little pricier, but since it's a craft burger spot, you really do get what you pay for, quality ingredients and thoughtful preparation. My friends hot dog also came out about 10 minutes after my burger but our server kindly reassured us that it would be coming soon every chance he had. Definitely a place we'll return to. read more

First time trying this place. I love trying new restaurants- but I won't come back here. The cooks and cashiers appearance seemed sloppy- baggy pants showing draws and due rags. No pics were taken- wasn't pic worthy. Came around 7. Hubs ordered 2 hotdogs but they were outta slaw- ok cool. I ordered a burger. Burger came out missing the egg. The waiter was moving my toothpick around to see if he could see the egg. Came out separate- no salt or pepper. The burger was completely unseasoned- not even sprinkled with salt or pepper- everything was missing seasoning. Hubs hotdogs came out missing yellow relish. We asked and they said "O we ran out"- like tell us before we place the order like you did with the slaw or ask if we would like something else instead...it was supposed to have moores chili- but this chili had beans in it. The moores chili we get from moores on 460 for hotdogs doesn't have beans in it. Then I took the hotdogs back up for the cheese sauce. The place was clean and not busy. It seemed as if the pick up orders were more of a priority- they were rolling out the door. I really hope I came on an off day-but it's not a place for me to come back to. We drove 30 mins to try only to be disappointed. This was my experience- to each its own. If you decide to try based on another review- I really hope you enjoy your food. read more

Pricey Burgers. But, the reason for my 2 start review is that somewhere along the line someone dropped the ball on how to properly make french fries : They are completely oil saturated as if they are put in the deep frier at 180º for 30min. Wasn't like this when you first started so ya'll need to fix this. Ppl want crispy crunchy fries. Otherwise, the cheese burger was excellent. read more

10$ for potato wedges and this is what we got. Terrible customer service and every time I go in there I feel guilty for eating at the place. Staff treats you like you're inconveniencing them for trying to order food. Gave them several chances and the benefit of the doubt but whoever runs this place get new staff. read more

The food was very good, would have been better if we received what we actually ordered and if it came out together instead of my family eating in shifts. Good food, bad service read more

10/10 experience! Burgers were fantastic with thick patties and ingredients that were very fresh! The staff all were incredibly nice, with everyone speaking to us from the kitchen and many thank yous for coming in! The burgers are huge and it's a great price for the size of portions! Highly recommend hitting this place!! read more

Surprisingly really good. I was a little taken aback at the set up of having to order and then seat yourself. I thought it was going to be more of a typical restaurant. For some reason the ambience reminds me of a breakfast place more than a burger joint. We went there because of the review talking about gluten free options for my daughter. We all ordered different burgers and they were super tasty although not pink in the middle like we asked they were still juicy. The onion rings were delicious but a little difficult to eat because they were so thin. The staff who brought out our food was very kind and the gentleman grabbed salt for me from the condiment area which was very nice of him. Would definitely eat here again. read more

Got an order for pick up. Burger was cooked to perfection! Restaurant was clean and staff was super friendly. Definitely going back!

Excellent service, delicious food! Our burgers are always cooked to perfection- We eat here several times a month!

The food was amazing! The front staff.... Eh. They were not happy to serve. No smile the entire time. Kinda felt that I was interrupting their tim. No 'you're welcome' or 'thank you'. But again the food was delicious!! read more

Food is amazing!(I got the western burger and onion rings or something like that) The service is kinda slow but I think that the people that I gave my order to were new. It has good vibes all around. read more

Love this place, it's a tie between this place and flavor of the James for best burger in town. This one is closer to me very good, but overall very good read more

The customer service here is fantastic. The burgers are delicious, and the sweet potato fries are a must-try.

Burgers, chicken bites, cheese curds - everything was fantastic. The truffle fries have a great flavor that I love, but I'd forgive you if you said they're not your thing. And best of all - they have excellent gluten free buns available for the burgers and the fries are also GF, cooked in a dedicated fryer. We also had fried onions and side salads, and like the other food it was all top notch. Service was great - food was up fast and delivered to our table by friendly, courteous staff. The only negative I can think of is that there's not much atmosphere, it's a very basic counter service place with wooden tables. A little noisy if fully packed I suspect, but when we were there, there were plenty of open tables and noise was not bad. read more

Well! This little gem of a place should not be tucked away in its current location! Sooooo glad we found it, and the food and service did not disappoint! Delicious classic burger was juicy, the toppings of lettuce, tomato, red onions and a pickle were incredibly fresh, and the famous corner sauce made it the best hamburger I've eaten in a long time! The restaurant was extremely clean and the very friendly server was extremely attentive and polite. We shall return!! read more

Corner Burger - tables and chairs in a restaurant - Burgers Near Me - Forest, Virginia

My wife and I enjoy eating at Corner Burger. We have not been disappointed in the food, instead we greatly appreciate the variety offered with their menu. I am impressed by their staff being attentive, polite, and willing to answer any questions we ask. For those who don't want to use the QR code, order at the register. You have to be impressed by the cleanliness of the restaurant and how quickly the staff attends to cleaning/disinfecting when diners leave. It's a sandwich shop, not fast-food. Yes, it is pricey, but we like it. And the food is delicious! read more

Vegetarian here- the beyond burger was insanely delicious! And so many toppings to choose from. Totally worth every penny. My new fav burger spot. read more

The smokin' good burger was really good! The flavor is definitely fresh not frozen. I also got the loaded potato wedges and those were VERY good! read more

My Beyond burger was perfect. Their homemade onion straws are marvelous. The building is a big box of hard surfaces, so quite noisy. But the food wins, so I will definitely eat there again. read more

Very good burgers and French fries!!!!. The burgers were cooked to order. Will go back again for sure.

I love the taste, but they are throwing only a 4 ounce burger inside of a huge bun. You've got to wonder whether it's worth $9 dollars! About four bites, and the meat was gone. More than half of the bun is left. read more

Yum!!! We stumbled on this place as we were passing through the area. Definitely worth the stop!! I got the Magic Shroom burger and it was one of the best burgers I've ever had!! So much flavor! The server who took our order was friendly. Got our food quickly. The ambiance is bright, modern and it is nicely decorated. So happy we found this place! We will definitely be back. read more

Overrated and overpriced! I felt like I was assaulted after paying my tab. All add-ons are $1 each. 2 chicken burgers , a couple slices of cheese, mushrooms,1 side of fries and 2 drinks was well over $40. WOW! My head still spins! This is definitely a one and done. Good luck Runk and Pratt. read more

I sent them this email after my second time there. No response..here's the note I sent Hi, i just wanted to give you feedback on my recent experience. My wife and i came in last week and the burgers were great. This week, I ordered the chicken sandwich. Unfortunately i ordered the free range, but really thought i had ordered the fried one instead. It was my mistake, sorry, only the 2nd time in your restaurant. She was nice enough to take it back and order me up the other. The best part about the sandwich was the bacon. The piece of chicken i got was over cooked, and dry. The onion rings were tiny little. Pieces of fryer batter, hardly anything you would call 'onion rings'. She came by and asked me how things were, and i told her, 'thank you for allowing me to order again, but this is not very good. I [mentioned the 'onion rings' and she said they were like 'onion straws'. Anyway, i will give you a picture of the sandwich i got. compare this with what is on the front page of your website. Very disappointing, i will not order again. I wanted to p[ost on trip advisor or yelp, but wanted you to see this first. I appreciate small businesses like yours. Thank you for listening. read more

Walked in, took a look at their very overpriced menu, and walked out!! Yes they have a very nice selection of burgers, all about the size of a McDonalds single, but lots of different flavors! And pricy!!! AND you have to pay EXTRA for FRYS!!! I'm sorry, but I'm used to getting fry's with my burger!! Plus you have to order on your phone, then they bring the food to you! We were there all of about 5 minutes before we left and went next door to Lori's! read more

I've visited this area on two occasions. Ate here once with my wife and once with a buddy. Nice little burger place that hit the spot both times. Unique delicious burgers, shakes, and fries/wedges with the extras. We had a couple of the chicken sandwiches also which were tasty. Great food and great service. read more

Was very disappointed with the amount of food and price. I was super excited that they was back open, since leaving the location in New London. But the burgers were much smaller than the ones from New London and it did not seem as fresh as the beef from the new London store. The hamburger patty looked like a patty from Wendy's and maybe even smaller. It did not look like a fresh Patted burger but a frozen one. And for the price I expected the same thing that was provided when they was at the New London location. The fries were good and the chicken bites that my daughter had looked good, but I did not try those. Another thing is it would be nice if they would bring menu as well instead of the QR code on the phone. I was really looking forward to being able to eat here again, but quickly disappointed at the outcome. read more

Great burger- great fries. Everything here is super clean and pretty. One of the best places I've tried recently.

Burgers were good the price is just outrageous. I would go again but not at this price point.

As someone who doesn't like burgers, me and my boyfriend thoroughly enjoyed this spot! He got the blue bbq and I got the chicken bites and we shared the corner fries. Any time I say I want good chicken tenders/nuggets THESE are what I'm talking about!!! These were the best chicken bites ever so crispy, juicy and had the best flavor!! My boyfriend got the blue barbecue, he was kind of taking a leap of faith because he wasn't a huge fan of blue cheese or barbecue on his burger. However, he said it's the best burger he has ever had in his life. He said the onion rings on top of the burger are the perfect kind of onion rings to have on a burger, nice and crispy and add good flavor to it. The cherry on top really was the bun on top. Nice fluffy very light, overall very complementive to the burger. The service was great! Everyone was so friendly and and spoke with us about the menu! The place was super clean and felt welcoming, anytime someone would leave the employees would immediately clean the table and sweep, this was very impressive to me and cool to see people who care about their job and take pride in their work space. Overall 10/10 thank you corner burger!!! We are definitely stopping by again! read more

Clean and inviting atmosphere: Consistently good food and friendly staff! My family's go to for a burger fix.

The place was a mess when we arrived. Normally I would have just walked out, but since planned to meet some others, I had to ask for tables to be bussed and floors swept. After waiting about 10 minutes for the rest of our party to arrive, we were then told that we would have to wait to order until all online orders were complete. Again, my bad for not suggesting we leave at that point as the second red flag. The restaurant was loud and they got our order wrong. This was to our advantage, so not complaining, but does indicate poor ability to run a business. The actual burgers were okay, but not special at all and greasy. The fries were prepared from frozen and the onion rings just a slimy grease ball. Given their prices and less than pint size tap beers, we won't be back. This all seems a shame since there is plenty of signs of potential greatness within the place itself. I just don't think they are positioned to be much more than average. read more

Had lunch here today, this was the first time at their new location in Forest. My wife and I had the Corner Burger. The burgers were well cooked and tasted great. They have some of the best handcut fries that I have ever had. This by far the burger in the ares. read more

Unimpressed. Truck was better. Slow service. Mediocre burgers overpriced. Save yourselves the trip.
