When you pull up it looks like a dive from the 1960's or a small Soviet bloc, not many windows and just a square little building, but you come inside and the people are inviting and friendly and the food is out of this world. I got the smash burger onion rings and some loaded tots and it was delicious. Their toilet has an awesome Andrew Warhol version of Misney there which is just a chefs kiss added touch to this place. 5 stars hands down

I also asked for a lemon wedge, not a slice, since you can't squeeze a slice. Next came our espresso martinis, one for each of us. We actually felt the bang for our buck -- strong, well-balanced, and worth every penny. For our appetizer, we shared the gluten-free BBT meatballs. It was delightful. Then our Cobb salads arrived, each with shrimp added. We requested a side of extra-virgin olive oil -- not a blend -- and the kitchen got it right. For dessert, we shared the cheesecake, minus the graham cracker crust because my friend is gluten-free. I would have preferred the kitchen plate it for sharing and provide dessert silverware with it, instead of us having to flag someone down. I'm also industrial seed oil free, and Hailey was attentive to both of our dietary needs throughout. The manager, Chris Nichols, stopped by to check in and ensure we were satisfied -- a clear sign the restaurant is customer centric. I actually thought Chris was the GM. Kudos to the general manager, Ben Lano, for inspiring great teamwork. Lastly, I give the ambience four stars, simply because we don't have a Michelin-starred restaurant in Ohio.

For dinner I ordered the catch of the day which was a seafood linguine and it was good little spice which elevated the dish to new heights. I also had the spinach dip very flavorful. My husband had the meatballs and for entree the prime rib sandwich which he said was delicious. Overall the ambiance was very pleasant and the staff were very welcoming. I can't wait to dine here again.

We were greeted immediately by the bar tender who was running the whole show herself! We had beers in front of us almost instantly. They have a bunch of stuff on the menu, even breakfast on the weekends but we were here for one thing and one thing only. Smash burgers! Let's get into it: the patties are a proprietary blend of chuck, short rib, and brisket. Locally sourced! Cooked/smashed perfectly, full of flavor. The edges were crispy and fried while the insides were full of juice! The onions were sliced so thin and cooked so perfectly and absorbed the meat juice so well you might not even notice they're in there if you aren't looking for them the bun is potato, which for all my real burgerheads out there, is the best bun for smash burgers. Perfect bread to meat ratio, and the flavor matches excellently with the burger juices it absorbs. The fries were fresh and battered nicely, but I couldn't finish all of them after devouring the burger. But they were good enough I was still snacking on them while finishing my beer on a completely full stomach! this place is awesome check it out!

We ordered essentially every variety of breakfast sandwich and as a serious connoisseur of breakfast sandwiches, I honestly believe Kitchen on the Corner may be the best I've ever had. They have a great patio out back to enjoy your meal if the weather is nice. But you'll pay half the price for a breakfast sandwich here than you will your average restaurant and it will be at least twice as good as your average restaurant. I won't miss this place any time I'm back in the area.

For a gluten free version we had the fried green tomatoes on a separate plate. They were kind enough to put the yolk spread in a cup for the tomatoes as well. Nice touch. Love these deviled eggs. Big fan. I did share the full rack of their amazing ribs with my son and we ordered an extra side of their unique baked beans. Their sauce is so far from the basic!! The spices and red peppers were a great addition. I'm also a big fan of sweet potato fries. Can never get enough. We also had a member of our family request a mock tail and the bartender came to the table to help make a spectacular tequilaless sunrise selection. They really take the extra step here along with providing compostable take home containers. Thank you for being environmentally responsible.

We were seated at our table and waited 25 minutes for wait staff to take our drink order. Another 20-minute wait to put in our dinner order. We were then told they were out of filets, salmon, chicken and waffles, and meat loaf. I finally ordered a side salad and pulled pork sandwich and my wife a specialty salad. My salad had a lot of old lettuce and was not so great. Another 25 minutes went by and we got our meals. My sandwich was cold in the middle and the smash potatoes were tasteless. The other salad also had similar issues. The server had many excuses for the lack of entrees available and the slow service such as how busy the kitchen was, etc. Will not be going back. Sam B.

I've never experienced a bar with such attentive employees before. We didn't have time to eat beforehand and I was pleasantly surprised to see the variety offered on their menu. Andrew ordered the BBQ Chicken Pizza and I had the Taco Burger in wrap form. The pizza was one of the best we've had in the past 4 years and Andrew put it in his top 3. My wrap was a little too meaty for my taste since it had taco meat and a burger. I considered asking for the patty on the side, but I felt that was an awkward request. Everything was phenomenal and came out pretty quick! Andrew ordered a tall boy, which was the tallest one either of us had ever seen, and I ordered two mixed drinks. I was pleasantly surprised our bill only came to $41. There was a crowd, but it wasn't overcrowded. Everyone was dancing and having a fun time. We are so excited we found this place and can't wait to come back!
