What a fantastic spot. Great for breakfast. If I lived in the area, I would be going here regularly. Parking is tight so we had to park in a neighboring lot. You seat yourself. Our server was new but you would never have known it. She provided great service. Their sausage is some of the best I have ever had. Eggs were cooked perfectly. Bacon darn good too. The place has an old timey diner feel. Highly recommend. read more

Cool diner. Food was good. Prices are absolutely disgusting though. $30 after tip for breakfast!!!! Charged $4 for a seltzer! Maybe only get tap water when you come!? read more

Wonderful experience. The food was great with many choices, the service spot on and friendly and unintrusive. Ambiance comfortable and homey. Enhanced with live music in the background soft enough to allow easy conversations at the tables and booths. read more

I went to lunch with a friend here and it was terrible. The service was spotty even though the place wasn't crowded but that wasn't the main problem. I ordered fish and chips and the fish was so overfried (There seemed to be no coating so I don't even know if it was really fried or not. It was so overdone that I have no idea.) that it was dry enough to mimic the texture of chicken. The bill for 2 for lunch came to $50! I guess my friend's lunch was "okay" but I ended up spending that for a subpar lunch. At least my dogs got some of the fish for dinner. For that price, I wasn't going to waste it! (For those concerned, the dogs only got the interior fish meat, not the "crust". I wouldn't give my dogs fried food... but then again, I don't even know if it was really fried.) Ugh! read more

Then menu looked good. I ordered from the specials menu. Just a standard diner breakfast. One that I thought would take 10 - 15 minutes tops ro make, standard for any diner I have been to in the past for a breakfast order, especially because it was on the specials menu. I ordered 2 eggs, over medium. I like some of the yolk to be runny for my toast, but all the white to be cooked solid - don't want the 'snot' consistency that goes with runny eggs. I ordered the special so it came with bacon, a sausage patty and 2 pancakes. I ordered some rye toast for my eggs. 30 plus minutes later, into my second overpriced pint glass of orange/cranberry juice, the food finally came. - The eggs were runny, not 'over medium' as ordered. Totally snotted. - The bacon shattered when I dropped it on my plate (probably deep fried because it was 'bubbly' - not flat so not cooked on a griddle) - The toast was hard and burnt - The waiter never came to check on us and only came back when I called him over to show him the bacon shattering on the plate. He asked me how I wanted the bacon, then. I said, "Not deep fried." Then he asked me if I wanted my bacon, 'More wiggly'? I said, "Sure." He's like, "OK, I will bring you some wiggly bacon." Wiggly f'n bacon? Where the hell was I? He comes back and drops the bacon and runs. It was too f'n 'wiggly' and greasy and I didn't even finish it. We don't see him again. Never came back to see 'how we were doing'. I really could have used an extra napkin. So, I take the toast I ordered up to the waitress at the counter to tell her I am not paying for the extra burnt toast and to ask my waiter to take it off the bill. The bill for the two of us was $60. If you are going to charge prices like that with horrible service, you better have a gourmet chef in the kitchen, which obviously, they do not. Don't go. I remember this place to be much better. I am not sure if it changed management in recent years. I will be steering wide and clear of this place. Save your money and go to My Place and Co., instead. read more

Best place for breakfast in Delmar, NY. Four Corners is an oddball eatery, but it is usually, on a consistent basis open early for breakfast, then lunch into the late afternoon. It's not a diner but a Luncheonette; which purpose the name does imply itself: breakfast + lunch. The Corners are a yellow building with a small car lot, just to the West of the center of town. It does not have a lot frills, like let's say the silver chrome of other diners, or elaborate plastic covered menus, or juke boxes or lights and music and games. This is a Luncheonette. It cooks mean; I am talking flavor packed, pizzzzzas in your mouth aromas and that great coffee with home-baked baked goods! The menu is a paper leaflet. The old fireplace is painted light blue to display blue skies and clouds. In the back the cooks can be seen chopping and grating, slicing and dicing and nocking out Uber-impressive, very delicious plates, like omelettes, eggs, Benedict's, hashes, fries, burgers, sandwiches, salads, and fruits. As I recall the actual plates were ordinary, but the food displayed on them were carefully assembled and the BLT sandwich that I ordered was dynamite! The waitress gave some recommendation. She was polite. The food was quick, hearty and very much packed with essential herbs, spices and notes. Prices are a few dollars more than at a diner someplace in a very touristy area - but then, this place needs to make some money! Come visit. Have a blast and leave happy and full. Greatest little breakfast/lunch nook I ate at all Spring. Totally delicious. Friendly atmosphere - people stayed well after I left. And they even have a few coolers next to the entrance, so if you want you can buy some cold stuff for the next roadside hotel that you are staying in! And when I write they have a lot of their foods in the cooler, I do mean that during breakfast hours the coolers are filled with the days newest (I watched the woman restock it, literally by hand) freshest take-out. Four Corners is a house-size kitchen filled with people who love great food! And that's all it takes. Fabulously flavorful plates. Rebel review: 5+ read more

This is the first time I have ever felt the need to give a yelp review. I went there this past weekend with 2 other people for breakfast. The staff was less than warm and the price almost made me pass out when I received my bill. Admittedly, I'm not one to look at the prices on the menu when I'm ordering breakfast as how much can it be? However, when I got the bill, I couldn't believe it was for over $72.00 for 3 people to have breakfast. Note: The only drinks we had were 2 cups of coffee. Our meal consisted of an order of 2 eggs with toast and homefries, a cheese omelette with bacon, and 1 crepe. The food was bland and the price was outrageous. We won't be going back there. read more

Went to try it with my wife, we were starving! And it was brunch time. Waiting about 20 minutes before we even got asked for drinks, people who came in before us got drinks right away. Many about 15 minutes before we were asked what we wanted for food, order simple dishes. The worst part is we waited almost 1.5 hours for our food!!!!! And it was not even great or worth the wait! No idea what took so long, and I know it was not just us because I heard other people complaining about the horrible long waits as well. They need to speed things up. I wouldn't go if you have in mind a quick bite. read more

The food was good, actually very good. But how could they possibly justify charging anyone $4.50 for a lousy 12 ounce can of Diet Pepsi. One you have to clean the top off yourself and pour into the glass yourself. Pathetic. Thanks but no thanks. Never again, all because you were so greedy to over charge your patrons for a can of soda. read more

Pros: Friendly & accommodating service, cheerful & relaxing ambiance, tasty food overall, unique menu (big plus for me) & wide variety of breakfast/lunch options Cons: Waffle was kind of burnt/dry/hard (still flavorful despite that) & the topping on it was like a lump of cold hard frosting... corned beef hash was a little on the bland side and some things like a regular cup of coffee were relatively expensive. $46+ for food in attached photo read more

Four Corners Luncheonette - Orange creamsicle waffle, corned beef hash, toast, custom omelette, coffee - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Delmar, New York

We went for a home in the local area and worked up an appetite. We used to go here pre Covid and honestly no complaints ever. We saw the Yelp reviews and decided to go anyhow...based on past experience. We entered the restaurant and were not greeted...we took a seat in a booth. Our drink order was taken fairly quickly. Coffee and a soda...the soda was canned and cost $4.25! A refill would cost a total of $8.50. Order a water! I got a coffee...was good. Refill offered 35-40 minutes later after food was delivered. I finished coffee after 5 minutes and had cup at the end of the table. It was not busy...but waitresses kept saying they were slammed as they stood around and chatted. Food arrived cold, and not good. I ordered the 4 Corner Breakfast....2 eggs, bacon (think it was cooked last week hard and crunchy), potatoes (cold), toast (dry some butter)...with coffee almost $20! I'd rather get breakfast at a school lunch line. My wife moved the cold food she had around on her plate...didn't eat. Does this place have new owners? read more

Four Corners Luncheonette - a note from a student - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Delmar, New York

If I could give them no stars, I would. We sat for an hour and watched the entire restaurant fill up, empty, fill up and almost empty again. Even watched the waiters chatting and eating, while we waited patiently for our food. One waiter came to the table to take our order and then said hold on- and went to 4 different tables including someone who just walked in the door. Never returned to our table. A different waiter came about 15 minutes later. We sat for an hour.. Paid almost $10 for a soda, orange juice and a water... never received the food we ordered. Which were simple menu items. It's a shame because we found that it was a nice little place, hidden in town. And had a bonus of live music. It's nice places like this with poor experiences that ruin it. read more

I enjoy coming here. It's got a regular following of locals and for good reason. It's somewhere I can consistently get breakfast that is as good as or better than I make for myself at home. I enjoy swapping ideas with the chef and trying something new from the menu. The owner keeps my coffee cup full and the staff is well trained to anticipate the needs of the customers. I'm becoming a bit of a breakfast regular but I've been for lunch a few times. The prices might look a tick higher than other places but you get what you pay for. The portions and quality are well worth the price. Standard fare is priced about what other places charge, specialty stuff is more but well worth it! There's a Farmer's Benedict that is poached eggs atop sausage gravy on a house made biscuit and a side of ham. I got 2 meals out if it! read more

Feels like being at a quaint diner on Cape Cod. Great home made scones and soups. Friendly and attentive service.

This is a hidden gem slightly off the beaten path near the Four Corners in Delmar. The service is very nice and friendly. The food is excellent. I ordered the two eggs with home fries and raisin toast. Everything was excellent. The eggs were fluffy and flavorful. The toast was nicely buttered and homemade. The home fries were nice chunks of potato. They were crispy but not oily. I highly recommend this establishment. It is one of the better breakfast places I have been to in the area. The service is friendly and the food is excellent. read more

LOVED having breakfast here with the kids. A true charmer, and a blast from the past. Homemade EVERYTHING, delicious baked goods, rolls, bread and tantalizing menu items. Personable staff, low key vibes. Can't wait to go again! read more

So so so overpriced. Ordered a Benedict that doesn't come with home fries, they charge you extra for that. My food was fine. If I paid $10 for the Benedict and it came with home fries, I probably wouldn't complain. But I ended up paying $20 (not including tip) for a boring, subpar meal. I don't understand how they get away with charging so much for this food when there are a load of other breakfast spots in Albany that are cheaper and 10x more delicious. Definitely wont be coming back. read more

Yes, they have a huge, interesting menu. But their prices are steep. And the food ranges from "really good" to "mediocre". Service was lackluster. The atmosphere hasn't changed in decades. We try this place once every few years. Now I remember why. read more

My son and I went out for a late morning breakfast. I had not been here in a few years..... Son orders eggs Benedict on home made English muffins. He was very excited! Sons meal: Muffin burned, hollandaise somewhat curdled and too lemon. Asked for potatoes... never came. I ordered homemade corned beef hash. Lots of potatoes and a few chunks of c beef and as I said, lots of potatoes. My poached eggs were dry as you see. I complained of my sons meal,Waiter did take off my sons breakfast,very nice of him. Asked what was wrong, mentioned my sons meal ONLY....muffin burned, hollandaise?, potatoes never came(you'd think for $12.95 they could throw on a few potatoes) He said we do not have traditional sauce, lemon hollandaise....Why wouldn't you advertise on your menu, your "lemon hollandaise" as opposed to the normal one???? Never again. I know there are loyal regulars, what do you order.? Will NEVER recommend Son said "coffee was good" ‍ Go to Window Box on New Scotland Ave... Home made corned beef hash! read more

Visited for brunch on 1/2/19. We had a large party and called ahead. When we got there, they had a table arranged for us. It seemed like a nice little place. Cozy. The menu had a lot on it! I decided on French toast and bacon. At some point before the food came, the waiter (manager? owner?) came over and was clearing or delivering something and tipped over my daughter's chocolate milk...all over me (my pants, socks, shirt and jacket). I stayed calm though it was cold and wet and I hate being cold and wet. He said sorry, but then joked about it!! Not just one, but many jokes. Our food came. The bacon was good. The French toast was like cardboard. Thin and chewy. Now, I'm from the area, but have moved away, and was back visiting family for the holidays. We were having brunch before leaving on a 25 hour drive back to Texas. Our stuff was packed. We were ready to get on the road. But now I was soaking wet. The guy who spilled all over me overheard me say something about not living here and the next words he said were, "Oh good, you're not from around here, so I don't have to worry about losing business." SERIOUSLY? I didn't see the bill. My mother grabbed it and went and paid it before I could talk to her about it. Later, I asked if my food had been comped or a discount added. She said no. I completely understand that mistakes and accidents happen. But, I am astonished at this man's attitude. He laughed and joked about it and then had the audacity to say it was good that I didn't live there so he wouldn't lose business. To top it off no discount. Not professional. I had to go back to my mothers, get my suitcase out, find a different pair of clothes and a different jacket and because we didn't have time to wash and dry clothes, I shoved them in a grocery bag where they stayed for a good 30 hours. Thank goodness the bag was sealed enough that it didn't stink up the car. First thing I did when I got home was wash them. When I am back in the area, I will NOT eat here. I will NOT recommend this place. And I will post this review. Atmosphere: Cozy, nice. Food: Meh. I only had one dish and it wasn't very good. Maybe other things are better. Service: Horrible. read more

food is good, nice atmosphere, quaint. very expensive. $80 plus tip for two kids, 2 adults, pancake breakfast. no kids menu... read more

Four Corners does a decent breakfast ... the menu is different & features some quirky dish names; I had the Vasco de Gama scrambled eggs. I liked the look & feel of this spot (converted house with brick fireplace & custom counter glass pastry cabinets) but overall thought it was very pricey for what you get. It felt like a solid 3 stars. Maybe if they paid more attention to coffee refills & dropped price slightly it would bump up to 4 stars. It's worth checking out but I doubt it becomes a regular stop on your breakfast tour. I noticed they have a piano or organ in the middle of the room & advertise "live music". Not sure when that goes down, but that's a unique touch. read more

I've only been once, but I've fallen pretty hard for this place. Could it be love? Their menu is very creative, and though I haven't tried everything I appreciate the uniqueness to some of the dishes. They have all the diner staples, and some of them with their own twist. I had the greatest Reuban I've ever eaten here. With house-made smoked Pastrami. That is why they get 5 stars. Should you go out of your way to come here? If it's not too much trouble, sure. But if you live locally, you should definitely be coming here. read more

When a Fire Goddess gets cold, really cold, she turns blue and her flaming red hair evaporates. Don't laugh or you'll be next. Anyway, it was a bad Saturday morning and I was drenched, shivering, and starved - I needed something that would warm me up both body and soul. No, dear friend, it was too early for tequila shots. Instead I went to Four Corners for a cup of Stash Peppermint Tea ($2.50), and a bowl of Split Pea and Ham Soup ($5.95/pint) - delicious, thick, not too salty, loaded with bits of tender ham and potato,with just a wee too much pepper - this was surely a magical potion! I thawed. It was good. Four Corners is small and quirky, offering a dose of small town charm, mostly very tasty food, much of it homemade, including daily baked goods (their combo white/wheat French bread is almost divine). The menu includes standard breakfast fare, lots of sandwiches and salads, as well as dinner specials such as BBQ and seafood. Oh, try the clam chowder while you're there. Wildly popular. There's a reason. Zena, Goddess of Fire read more

Sorry Four Corners this was my last visit. 45 minutes after ordering for breakfast with a half full restaurant. Then the mediocre food is only lukewarm. Corned beef hash is 90% potatoes. Food is expensive and no regard for customers. read more

I was craving french toast and I ordered from this place and it was absolutely HORRIBLE. The bread was thin which is fine but they barely let the egg wash soak into the bread. So the bread basically had a touch of cooked egg on the outside and the middle of the bread was completely dry. On top of that, the egg mixture they barely used had no flavor! No cinnamon, no vanilla, or nutmeg. Their potato hash was also awful, dry and over cooked to toughness with no flavor. I ended up throwing out the french toast and just eating the eggs and sausage I got on the side. I wasted $20 dollars on this, which is expensive for 3 slices of bad thin french toast, 2 fried eggs and sausage. read more

While the dishes remain creative (Pumpkin crème stuffed french toast on raisin bread; who comes up with that), I thought the food was kind of bland and boring. Although, I feel bad saying that Free refills is a plus Huge portions is another plus The pecan encrusted chicken sandwich was a bit lifeless (it may be my fault bc I forwent the cranberry mayo), but it picked back up when I added bbq sauce The wife was not the biggest fan of mozz/pesto/sun-dried tomato sandwich read more

Food not horrible, but far from good. Over an hour wait for order when place about 1/2 full. Cook needs help. Cut menu by 2/3 and put more attention into learning/improving the remaining 1/3. Waiter wasn't particularly attentive nor interested in what he was doing. read more

My son and I stopped in Black Friday morning for breakfast to support a local small business. I knew about the luncheonette from about 5 years ago. It was popular then as it is now. Located near and behind the Delmar Post Office, only locals in the know eat there. We had a hearty breakfast w/o any negative onservatins. Good solid food that tastes as it should. I would encourage you to give 'em a try. Think outside of your usual routine. read more

Waited for two hours for our food. Finally got it and it was cold/ mushy/ not great. Got charged $4 for coffee. Went to go pay and their credit card machine didn't have paper so they made us walk across in the street in the cold to go to the ATM. Wish there was 0 stars. They never apologized and were rude the whole time. I made a yelp account specifically to review this restaurant because our experience was so bad. read more

Guess I should have done my research and only come here for breakfast. Sadly, though, I was here for dinner and it was completely underwhelming. Over-cooked steak and a stuffed potato circa 1974. Dinner companion had salmon which he said was okay but the corn and potato salad were yuck. Add to this gnats and flies at our table and, did my grandmother set the ac thermostat? It was REALLY warm. Will try for breakfast but I'm not looking forward to it. read more

Before you visit, check out the story on their website about their bread oven. Anyone who goes to the trouble to save a beautiful piece of equipment has a special place in my heart. Only bummer is that they wouldn't take us to the basement to see it, citing legal concerns. I'm not done trying. Situated in a building that resembles an old farm house, four corners is pure hometown goodness. I'm a sucker for counters and booths and this place has both. Lots of natural light brightens the joint. Pretty sure the owner waited on us and he didn't miss a beat. Just the right amount of interaction, too. The menu is extensive. So much so that I stuck to the supplemental daily specials list and found a roasted squash sandwich with hummus on rye. It didn't sound awesome, but us vegans have to take what we can get (once we sit down). I really enjoyed it. The squash was roasted well, the hummus was good and the bread was delicious. I'd order it again if the greek salad my cousin ordered didn't tempt me away. If I lived nearby (and they were willing to grill sandwiches with olive oil instead of butter) I'd be a regular. read more

I torn about how many stars to give the Four Corners Luncheonette... If i could rate separately, I would say the food gets Five Stars! Everything is fresh and delicious, and many of the specials and sandwiches are very creative. The food is why I continue to go back. The service, however, is consistently poor. I say this as someone who goes there 2-3 times per month. The servers are nice people, but the wait to get your order taken is almost always unacceptably long, whether they are busy or not. Yesterday I was there for lunch. We sat for 10 minutes before we were given menus. We gave our drink order and received our drinks, and then waited for another 15 minutes to get our order taken. Then we waited for a full half hour for our food. I was brought the wrong order, which took a few more minutes. My kids also did not get the honey mustard they ordered with their chicken fingers, which happens EVERY TIME we go there. We waited literally 10 more minutes to get the honey mustard. We were out of drink by this time, but the waitress didn't stop at our table long enough for us to order more. I really really want to love the Four Corners, and I really do love their food, but they definitely need to do something about their service. read more

This place would get a better review from me if they served breakfast past 10 a.m. on weekdays, haha. I'm not that crazy about the lunch menu, but their brunch menu is awesome. The omelet choices are creative and done well, and they feature some cool items on their menu like pheasant sausage with cranberry-relish. The weekend brunch is definitely great. The service however, is usually rather terrible. The waitresses are often chatting with one another behind the counter while my coffee cup sits empty, or while I wait an excessively long time for my check. A couple of times I've tried to get the waitperson's attention and I'm pretty sure they blatantly ignored me. A few of the waitresses are also sort of surly and sometimes downright rude. Sometimes they have live music, and while I can appreciate the idea, it's not usually my cup of tea. The last time I was there when a musican was playing, he played an electric piano and sang along with it the instrument's pre-recorded "jazz" beat. Very odd indeed. Also, the other thing that's odd about this place (although not necessarily bad) is that they automatically give you separate checks, whether you ask for them or not. One time I was there with my boyfriend and even though it was just the two of us and we were clearly together, they gave us separate checks. It was my treat that day too, which made it seem extra strange. I'm not really sure what that's all about. read more

The food at this establishment is mediocre at best. They have tried to make the dishes sound much more exotic than they really are. Being somewhat new to the area I was hopeful to find a breakfast place not too far from home. Explored this places once, got the smoked salmon eggs Benedict, not impressed. I also think that places similar to this usually have exceptional pricing. No deals to be had here. It seems after reading the reviews of this place that it must hold a nostalgic place in people's hearts. It's really the only explanation for as many positive reviews as there are. read more
