Great spot to frequent with a small or large party. Their staff can accommodate large parties and does it so well. They offer bread and butter before their meals. Everything they offer is great and high quality. Ask about their daily specials! read more

1st time visit due to a birthday invitation... Otherwise I'd probably wouldn't have heard of this place... It has that hometown neighborhood gathering place vibe to it... Felt like a local favorite as everyone in there seemed to be longtime customers. Quiet, laid back, Sunday dinner atmosphere. Great for groups.. Reasonable prices and hot fresh food... No complaints from anyone in our group! read more

Would of loved to go here again but when we called to place an order, they answered and said, all in one breath "We have a one and a half hour wait, call back later" and they immediately hung up. read more

Great food, service and ambiance! Staff is terrific. One of our favorite places. EXCELLENT read more

I ordered the Brie spinach salad with blackened chicken salad was fine but dressing lacked flavor. Maybe it needed more. Chicken was spicy and a little dried out. I will return but won't order this. Our waitress was attentive and pleasant. read more

Food and service was excellent. Love this place and the people are so nice and friendly.

Mom and pop restaurant with a great vibe. Super service, great food. Very friendly people. The best meal we had in Louisville.

The food was great, just was passing through and decided to give it a try. We will be back!

Traveling south we stopped for gasoline and noticed this establishment, it was extremely busy! So we went in and the food was great. Since we were kinda in a hurry we ate lite. Three of us had the French toast with pork links. The French toast was great and the sausage was tasty. The other two guests had biscuits and gravy along with home fries. Both plates were empty so I'm assuming they liked their food as well. Service was casual, we were greeted and we placed our drink orders and meal orders immediately. The service was good, our server was polite and efficient. The ambiance was very casual as was the dress code. Everyone in the restaurant seemed happy the staff was friendly and the food was good. I'd definitely recommend the Corner Cafe read more

sorry to hear that they are closing. one of my favorite restaurants good service and great bloody marys

Can always count on a great meal! Many years now! Just like all of us- we're aging. With they'd give it a face lift. The BATHROOM is BAD. Food and service is always great. Just something simple would help. read more

The food, service, and atmosphere were very nice! There were 4 of us and everything was really good from the pot roast to the pizza and the subs. read more

Nice people great place to eat food is always good always a good experience good service

Red Hot Chicken!? Red Hot Chicken would be better described as a mediocre, beer, pub buffalo chicken wings. Today the chicken was chewy and overcooked. Buffalo sauce would've been more mirrored to a place where they wear Tight shorts and tight shirts. Overall fabulous experience. Wonderful menu, great staff and the crabcakes are to fight for. Biggest suggestion I could make would be that the restaurant provide a lunch menu so as not to confuse the guest with items that were not able to be purchased until after 5 PM. When I return, it will definitely be after 5 PM and I'm looking forward to trying the lamb and the spaghetti. read more

Disappointing...We were excited to meet friends since we live out of town and don't have a chance to sample restaurants in the Louisville area very often. The waitress, Jordan, seemed competent in beginning, providing my Wifes requested ice filled glass of ice water. Things turned negative quickly, slow food preparation, delivery to table was slow, food temperature was warm, not hot. Mediocre service and quality at best. Then came the bill, with a 20% gratuity you would think that was generous. After later reviewing the bill we discovered an addional $8.00 tacked on for what ? Wife called Randy, the Manager, who said he would call her back. Didn't happen, now 3 days later, after calling twice, with no call back. Hey Randy, where is your Integrity and Professionalism ? Good Luck !!! We won't be back, EVER. read more

Corner cafe feels like a place that was once a high end treat. No longer has that status. It's now well worn , tired and mediocre. We meet some friends for dinner last Saturday night. One of the people used to go as a child and wanted to relive that time. We arrived about 7pm. Had a short wait at the well provisioned bar. Two glasses of Riesling and a Old Forrester 80 old fashioned $28.? Okay so they added sugar packets into my old fashioned, guess that's okay. Got to looking around we noticed we are by far the youngest patrons in the place ( we are mid 50's). That matches the dated decor. Food was okay. Wife had shrimp and grits. Really disappointed. I had chicken parmigiana. Mildly disappointed,sauce was okay, fried chicken with melted cheese is good. Don't think we will need to go back. read more

The luncheon meals for my wife and I were excellent. I had the nuclear sub and my wife had the chicken club. The quality and quantity exceeded our expectations. Also the prices were reasonable given our financial times. Service was also outstanding. We liked the way they anticipated our needs. We would recommend Corner Cafe to anyone. read more

Amazing and quick the ranch dressing is delicious too. I did carry out but the store was really clean. read more

LOVE this out of the way, unexpectedly awesome food find. I was looking for a place that could handle a larger group for a wedding rehearsal dinner and an online chat group recommended I check out this location. I'm so glad they did. Everything people have stated in other reviews is accurate. From the outside you wouldn't expect to find such fabulous food. There appear to be many local regulars who come in early (5:30). The menu is varied and the daily specials are wonderful additions. These include appetizers, soups and entrees. I've since been here several times and I've had nothing I wouldn't purchase again. Every time I visit I try a new soup and have never been disappointed. The shrimp bisque is delicious. The burgers and subs are phenomenal, but the side of regular bagged chips is disappointing and could be elevated by something different and unique. Over the course of the last year, I've seen many of the same servers who bust their butts to keep up. They are warm, friendly and patient. They work wonderfully as a team with others assisting flawlessly. This is rare during this time of staffing shortages and less than stellar quality candidates for hire. I commend management and the workers. Even with a full house, they managed to keep up. My only suggestion is a friendlier more welcoming hostess as my most current visit had a new face. She was younger than the others and seemed more intent on table setting than greeting and welcoming the customer. The dining room is tight and small, but I didn't feel like people were on top of me and it never became so noisy that I couldn't hear my partner. There is a separate banquet room and two larger side serving areas. On several occasions I've seen large parties on both sides. This restaurant would definitely excel in a more visible location with a prettier outside and updated inside, but that would likely change what makes it special. To the owner, keep up the good work and thank you for a lovely dining experience. I love the menu, specials and particularly your soups. Great job. read more

Hard to get in if you have more than 10 guest, call two or three weeks ahead. Food good over priced, paying for the atmosphere. read more

Apparently I had the completely wrong impression about Corner Cafe. This place just right next door to where I live, and in a run-down little shopping center. From the outside, I always thought it was a sandwich shop or something...but I was wayyy wrong on that! When some family members requested to go here, they raved about this place and how many times they've been. So I was willing to give it a chance also. And I did really enjoy it! It's a nice, cozy little spot for dinner, with all kinds of things on their menu. Our server was really sweet and was always there when we needed her. Their wine is also another big plus! Love Corner Cafe! Will definitely be making another visit soon. read more

Nice place, service was good but steak was way over salted. Could not taste the steak itself. Everything else was wonderful.

Food was average as was the service. Nothing spectator to note. We had the crab cake appetizer, walleye special, scallop and shrimp pasta, and fillet medallions. If we return, it would be to give a sandwich a try. read more

The Corner Cafe is a lovely family owned & operated restaurant tucked into a strip mall in Lyndon. Don't let the location fool you. Walking inside you are met with quite a pleasant surprise! The ambiance is so inviting with beautiful artwork displayed on the walls; imagine the delight in finding it is for sale! I have tried many items on the menu over the years and I have never been disappointed! The food is wonderful and delicious!! It is carefully prepared and the servers are gracious and welcoming. You will not regret having lunch or dinner at this unique restaurant! read more

I have lived near Corner Cafe for about two years and just recently ventured in for takeout. I had been hearing that they had one of the best grilled chicken sandwiches in the city so I had to try it. I called in a carryout order on a Friday night. When I arrived to pick it up, I could see that it was ready and sitting on a table but I hadn't paid yet and it took a long time to get the attention of an employee to pay. The crowd seemed to be full of regulars who knew the bartenders and servers well. They were really busy and the restaurant felt really crowded, so I don't think I would feel comfortable eating in until the pandemic is over. I also saw a couple customers get up from their tables without masks on, so that was disappointing. After I was able to pay, I checked my order when I got to my car and discovered I was missing one of my sides, so I went back inside, and they remedied it pretty quickly. I got the blackened chicken sandwich and everything I had heard was correct. It was one of the best chicken sandwiches I have ever had and I will be back for this sandwich. The jalapeno jelly on it is incredible. My husband got the Italian and also enjoyed his sandwich. We did wish there were more hot side options. The pasta salad I got with my sandwich was just okay and the chips that came with the sandwiches were just bags of chips, not homemade chips. My takeout experience wasn't exactly the best, but the chicken sandwich elevates this review to four stars. I hope to update after I have an post-COVID dine-in experience. read more

We usually go in here for my stepmom's birthday is one of her favorite places to go. I go in there and order a good sandwich type thing or some kind of pasta dish and it's always really good. Atmosphere is casual but classy on the inside it's nice and definitely worth checking out and I would go back again read more

Corner Cafe has been a family staple for years. I remember Christmas gatherings after we had tired of cooking for several days and wanted to grab a bite out with the whole crew. The private party room in the back turned out to be the perfect spot for us all to get together. My most recent visit was with all the girls -- grandma, sister-in-law, mom, niece -- when we wanted to have dinner somewhere with just us to catch up and celebrate. We knew the American cuisine would appeal to everybody, and the quiet ambiance would allow for visiting. I got the Cobb Salad, and was not disappointed -- it hit all the right notes with crunch, flavor, and freshness. Come dessert time, we got a carrot cake on the house since we were there partly for a birthday as well. It is probably small enough that one person could (uncomfortably) finish the whole thing, but we shared it 4 ways, which provided a nice bite for all of us by the end of the meal. It was drizzled with caramel and chocolate, which we never would have thought of, but added a nice touch. For your next get together when you want tried-and-true food in a relaxed atmosphere, check out the Corner Cafe for a solid dining experience. read more

We've been to the Corner Cafe many times most recently 2 nights ago with 3 of our grandchildren. As usual both the food and the service were very good. Our waitress was very attentive and helpful. Disregard the outside appearance. Just proves you can't judge a book by its cover. read more

The food we ordered was very, very good. The menu selection is great. As vegetarians, we had no trouble finding some of our favorites. The service was awesome. We were a large group (about 30 people) and our server was perfect. The ambiance was deceptively wonderful. From the outside, just another door in a strip mall. Walking inside was a delight. Open, airy, and many options from individual dining to conference rooms to large rooms such as ours. read more

Don't judge this restaurant based on the looks from the outside and the fact that's in a dinky strip plaza. This restaurant has a gorgeous interior with nice jumbo liquor bottle decorations. I would recommend it for families, for dates, for any reason because the food is very good and it is a very nice looking place. My wife took me for lunch on my birthday and they were nice enough to make chicken parmesan which was only on the dinner menu even though it was only about noon. I really appreciated that because that's what I wanted to eat. Most of the things on the menu are American, some of which being Italian American. They have sandwiches, pizza, chicken and other seafood dishes, etc. I think the server mentioned that the people are trained chefs. read more

Food was delicious. We did carry out. My husband had a hamburger cooked perfect. I did the spaghetti & homemade meatballs & sauce. I almost forgot I had a desert that was so good. The chocolate bomb. Yum!! Portions were very generous worth every bite. While waiting I talked with the very friendly bartender. I did not feel rushed. I will be back soon! read more

This is at the top of my restaurant list for places near my westport road home. It is a jewel hidden in a small shopping center that does not appear to house such a find as corner cafe. By the way, I heard it is called "corner cafe" because it was originally on a corner in Lyndon but it moved long ago. I have been a patron for many years and find the food and atmosphere to be head and shoulders above most restaurants in the area. I normally get their large spaghetti and meatballs and end up taking enough home with me for two more meals. The service has always been excellent and I would call the prices midrange but well worth the money when you consider the ambiance. read more

It's been at least a month since we've tried someplace new. We met up with some friends who were in town for a visit for dinner tonight and I was in charge of picking a restaurant. After investigating, Corner Cafe met the stated requirements of being quiet enough we could hear each other and having a decent selection of vegetarian food. We started with appetizers and we ordered the Tijuana Eggrolls. Most of us enjoyed them but one member of our party tasted peppers in them. They weren't mentioned on the menu and she's allergic. I had the chicken club, potato salad and an AmarettoSour. It was all pretty good but I didn't taste any condiments on the sandwich so I had to ask for some. My husband had a Cesar Salad with shrimp and it was an incredibly plain salad for the price. Our friends split the spinach ravioli special and really enjoyed it. The other couple had a Mediterranean wrap and a pork chop sandwich. They were pretty satisfied with them. I'm not sure our food lived up to the hype but everything was overall, pretty decent. I forgot to take pictures, we were too busy socializing. read more

Consistently great food! Always our go to carry out spot. Highly recommend their salads and pastas. Service is always great too!

Corner Cafe has been a staple of the Lyndon and Louisville communities for several decades. The service is fantastic, my family and I had a great experience Saturday night. I ordered the tenderloin medallions. My food was phenomenal. The meat was made to order and very juicy. I will definitely order it again! read more

Oh my goodness, it had been a while since enjoying a sit down meal at the Corner Café, but last night was delightful! Our waiter Doug was so attentive and made the experience that much better. The menu is enormous - appetizers, salads, soups, pizzas, pastas, sandwiches, desserts and more. I've tried a lot of things, but the Baby field greens salad and the Greek pasta are my reliable favorites - penne pasta, shrimp, feta, tomatoes, & artichoke hearts with some kind of buttery vinaigrette. The crazy thing is that it's even more tasty the next day, so I always order the "dinner" size instead of the "petite" order so I can enjoy it for a few days after it sits and marinates. Doug was the kind of awesome server who not only brought us all containers to go, but proceeded to load leftovers into the containers for each of us table side. The restaurant observes good COVID practices & the rest room was clean. Beware, the colorful chocolate covered mints as you exit the restaurant will be another thing that brings you back, so grab some extras to eat with your leftovers! read more

Corner Cafe - Baby Field Greens Salad - soooo good! - Pizza Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

I haven't been to Corner Cafe in at least five years and it was a very popular Friday night spot tonight, even on the early side. We were seated promptly and order was taken. Wait staff were all busy with multiple tables so it took a bit for waters and second set of tableware to arrive. Food was served fairly quick considering how many tables were seated. Veal piccata was super generous portion, delicious, and very fairly priced in this market. read more
