    What a great little cafe! We have been back now about 5 times to try new items on the menu. (See pics) This is an old fashion cafe with old fashion charm. We always feel welcomed and our service is typically fast (one time when it was real busy we had to wait a little for our check). The food is yummy. And they have terrific desserts!!

    This is so worth the drive if you don't live nearby! We've eaten at Cornerstone Cafe about 5 X since we discovered it. The prices are competitive but the portions are beyond generous! Today the Captain's Platter went to Hubby and I ordered the Teriyaki Ham steak dinner. That ham was about 3/8" thick! Just enough mashed potatoes with it and the broccoli was done just right. Now for the CaptainPlate! Wow! Everything was heaped up on a big baking sheet. We took one look at it and decided we would work on hubby's meal and take mine home for tomorrow...along with a FULL to-go box of what we couldn't finish of the Platter! The atmosphere is clean and cozy with farmhouse type decor. Lots to look at on the walls while anticipating a great meal. The service is great in spite of the fact that they've been busy every time we've been in. All of the staff are personable and go out of their way to make sure you have what you need. Bottom line: Good food, good people, good prices! It's just a fun place to be!

    Very few places impress me. Even FEWER burgers impress me. This place has it all. When I came a few months ago, I was so impressed that I took that time to think about how this review should go. They have a really nice looking restaurant. It's got pretty good positive vibes, and just feels simple. In the best way possible. It feels like a family restaurant, and that's in part due to the nice and efficient service. Everyone did a great job. Now onto the food, because that's the most important part aside from their cool outdoor seating availability. I thought they had a FANTASTIC bacon cheeseburger. Best bacon and best patty I've ever tasted, and that's coming from a guy who said his friends HOMEMADE one was the best he'd ever had. Plus they have some drinks, like the Arnold Palmer, which is what I got. It was heavenly. Nearly the best part of the whole experience. I love tea, and I love an Arnold Palmer, but this was a top tier concoction. My Mom was also a fan, enjoying the fact that her salad had lots of real and fresh seeming vegetables, and not small bite size amounts. (It even came with beets, which she doesn't like, so I had a treat.) Overall, this place just looks like home. With a great burger, fries, and Arnold Palmer, you can't go wrong coming here. They have plenty of other options too. Including where you sit to eat. Definitely check this place out it you haven't. I'll be coming back at some point. (It's like 15-20 minutes away, I don't live in Rainier.)

    I was craving something healthy and different than the normal breakfast option!…read moreThey had great menu choices for breakfast, and able to provide eggs, ground beef and avocado with a small fruit cup. Everything was great. Good service, atmosphere, and quality. Even the fruit cup had good choices in it!! Definitely coming back again!

    Corner Café is now open for dinner and we are SO happy about it!…read more You get the warmest, friendliest welcome the second you walk in. It's casual, cozy, and just has that small-town charm where you instantly feel comfortable. Our coffee and waters were always filled right on time (which I love). And let's talk about the prices... better than anywhere else in town! We usually split a meal, but this time we didn't have to -- we both got our own. I had the homemade pot roast and wow... melt-in-your-mouth delicious. So much flavor, creamy mashed potatoes, perfectly cooked carrots, and a roll. It's a special through tomorrow night so don't miss out! Total delicious, comfort food. Hubby had the French Dip and didn't leave a single bite. He barely let me have a bite to try it out. Then the mocha cream pie... and yes, I took a bite before getting a picture because it was THAT tempting. No regrets so no judgement on the picture. One of our favorite things about Corner Café is Sherri. She always comes over to say hi, remembers us and our past conversations, and truly makes us feel like family in her home. That kind of love and service is rare. We're posting pics of the food and the new dinner menu -- go try it. You'll be glad you did!

    Sadly I must give an overall score of 3 stars. I'll start with the best things first. We were…read moreimmediately and warmly greeted. It was a Saturday evening about 6:00 pm so we knew we might get caught in a crowd and were prepared to wait. I was impressed with our server and the different menu options she shared with us. We each ordered a simple cup of soup and a grilled cheese sandwich. (see pics) The vibe was great with darts, shuffleboard and a DJ setting up for karaoke night. How fun! Here's where it went downhill. We waited over 20 minutes to get our food, we never were asked if we needed anything else or if our food was good ( or correct) and our water and ice tea glasses were never refilled. Now I realize that our very nice server was busy, but she passed our table SEVERAL times without saying a word. As for our food, my chicken noodle soup had way too much pepper in it and my husband's tomato bisque was too spicy. (& he likes it spicy!!). Also, I ordered cheddar cheese not swiss cheese for my grilled cheese sandwich. I eventually decided to eat it since I was hungry and knew that I'd have to wait even longer if I returned it. This is our second visit here and sadly the service wait time then (about 6 months ago) was also "forgettable" All and all, if you are going to hang out and party with your friends, I would say GO! But if you want to go and get a meal, be prepared to be patient and allow A LOT of time.

    Looking over the menu, a lot of it seems pretty pricey. But then I saw 18 wings for $25. Seems like…read morea good deal to me, especially for bone in. Overall they were decent. The spicy buffalo wasn't too spicy but I did add some more buffalo sauce. The wings were a good size with lots of meat. All 18 were flats which I didn't really enjoy. They also needed to be cooked longer. They were cooked thru but had no crispy part on the outside. Same thing with the fries. Put it all in the air fryer at home and they were much better. I'll ask for well done next time, and I'd like to try the pizza. I've never been but have also heard this is a good karaoke spot on saturdays.
