We were visiting from out of town and wanted to try a local bagel and coffee shop, so we stumbled…read moreacross this place. It was pretty busy for a Friday at 9:15 a.m., but the line moved quickly and we didn't have to wait long. I loved that the bagel sandwich menu went beyond the usual, run-of-the-mill options. We got the steak sandwich on a dill havarti bagel and the bacon, egg & cheese on a celery salt bagel, with zhug on the side (think a spicy red pepper pesto meets chimichurri, with lots of aromatic spices). Both were fantastic! The bagels were a little softer than what I grew up with in NJ, but that texture actually worked really well with these sandwiches. Bagel sandwiches can sometimes be a messy, unwieldy ordeal, but these were perfectly constructed and easy to eat. The food was great, but the staff deserve a shout-out, too. Everyone was upbeat, attentive, and genuinely seemed to enjoy being there and interacting with customers. That kind of energy makes a difference. By the time we finished eating, the line had grown to wrap around and extend outside the building, yet it still seemed to be moving along efficiently. Clearly, we weren't the only ones who thought this place was worth a visit! I wish we had a spot like this back home. Creativeii, delicious sandwiches, great service, and a fun atmosphere. 100% recommend!

The matzo in the matzo ball chicken soup was pretty good, as was the broth, they seriously skimp on the chicken. The wait staff are fast, efficient, courteous, and friendly. The manager Will is pretty cool. A odd side note; Customers in line thought it strange for a deli/ bagel place claiming Jewish heritage to have all the meat on all the sandwiches prepared Hallala (Sharia) compliant. No claim of being Kosher. Might go back if convenient, but not if it's out of our way.

Inspired by their name, I ordered a spinach feta pastelito from a case full of different flavors. It's a light pastry somewhat like a Greek pie, deliciously flaky and flavorful. The quality is quite evident here! And I must return to sample the other flavors.

After being told this new little restaurant spot opened in mid-February, I was surprised to find no…read morereviews. Located in an established strip mall by a high-traffic intersection at Kingston Pike and S. Peter's, Greens and Grains is easy to get in and out of with plenty of parking. The interior is spotlessly clean (including the restrooms!) and comprised of two connected dining areas and kitchens. One has a trendy, airy feel with cool green and white tones, while the other is darker with metal and wood elements, a game area, and a large open grill/prep area. The reason for the two different vibes was not immediately clear to me. Actually, it never became more clear during the hour or so I spent there, but I can appreciate a good mystery. This is NOT a fast food joint. In fact, it is slow. Agonizingly slow if you're in a hurry. This is a place to come when you are with a group of people you find highly entertaining (or when you heft along a great book) and don't mind waiting. After ordering two sandwiches and sides, my friend and I waited almost 20 minutes for our food to appear at our table. The macaroni salad was pleasantly flavorful, without the overcooked noodles and runny sauce so often found with this deli counter staple. The turkey and Brie was also good and grilled to buttery-crisp perfection. The sandwich, side, and a drink cost just under $20, so it's neither bargain-priced nor exotic, but fresh ingredients are not cheap. Only one employee was working in each of the two halves of the restaurant, so I imagine if they want to speed up their service, they are going to need to schedule more people. The two employees were both delightfully friendly, though, and they aren't just paying lip service to customer service, a goal plainly outlined on all the napkin dispensers and evidenced by their actions. Despite the slow service, I'm giving them a 5 for their dedication to quality ingredients and excellent customer service. I hope they make it for the long haul, and I'll definitely be back soon.

Plus, the purchase price of their chips goes to charity - it was fun picking our charity of choice. Service was excellent! The staff was enthusiastic and I must add "adorable". I'm returning next week.

Not a big deal - I work nearby so I hope to continue to come here and enjoy the experience! My favorites so far are the chicken BLT and the tuna dish they have, both delicious! SYOY! Come try it sometime if you are off of northshore and need a lunch spot!

I really wanted to like Corner 16, especially because the setting has a lot going for it, but…read moreunfortunately the service was a major letdown, and the food was only average at best. Food: We tried the nachos, and while they looked good, the actual taste just wasn't anything special. The ingredients were fine, but nothing really stood out or made me think, "I need to come back for this." For the price, I expected considerably more. Service: This was easily the biggest problem. The service was terrible and really dragged down the entire experience. We shouldn't have had to deal with the level of inattentiveness we experienced, and it made an otherwise potentially enjoyable meal frustrating. Good food can sometimes make up for mediocre service, but unfortunately the food wasn't good enough to do that here. Ambiance: The outdoor environment is genuinely chill and unique. It's a cool setting to sit outside, relax, and hang out, and I can see the atmosphere being a big draw when the weather is nice. Unfortunately, a great outdoor atmosphere can't completely overcome poor service and food that is merely average. There are definitely things to like about Corner 16, but based on this experience, I wouldn't be rushing back.

It's very open and spacious in the brewery. And now that I know it's dog-friendly, the pup will be coming with us next time!. They have bands occasionally, too - so make sure you check the schedule. We arrived one night, and the band was sold out - so we had to leave, but had just enough time to have a brew and a pie. So check in before heading that way to ensure you can indeed get in. It can get busy, and the line can get long - so be prepared, and you might want to get two at a time those nights. As for the food, I have to say the Greek salad was AMAZING. Super fresh, zingy dressing. Just so good. The pizza was decent - nice thin crust and fresh toppings. Will it go down as the best pizza you've had - nah, but it goes good with a cold brew. Overall solid place.

I had a "pick 2" combo with the chicken bacon ranch sandwich and loaded baked potato soup. Lots of food; I took home half the sandwich. Wife had the chicken broth ramen and thought it was very good, with some negatives mentioned below. On mine, the soup was OK but I thought underseasoned. No condiments on the tables, so I just ate on (so it wasn't that bad, obviously-- but condiments on the table or nearby would be nice). My wife is Japanese, so even when she thought of ordering the ramen, I asked her to please not be too harsh if theirs wasn't like what she'd get in Kyoto! She liked the broth a lot and there was LOTS of chicken with it. Her biggest issue was that the ramen itself was a bit thick and unlike typical ramen. Still, overall a good soup dish even for her high/unreal standards! Only drinks are bottled drinks (no alcohol). We asked for tap water and got served lukewarm tap water in tiny cups (see in picture). So, four stars means we liked it and would go back. Why not 5 stars? In addition to the above small points, I would add that good/great sandwiches are for some reason I great supply In Maryville! Its hard to beat out some of the places already very well-known for very good sandwiches (start with Foothills Milling Bakery, but I can think of 2-3 other places in the area that are very good). Very solid place but needs more amenities or novel items to get five stars.

I ordered a Chicken Panini which is supposed to come with grilled chicken, provolone cheese, pesto aioli and tomato, but it lacked the tomato. The ingredients were melted between 2 slices of sourdough, so it was difficult to open the sandwich. I kept hoping a piece of tomato would be in the next few bites I took - but nada. In addition, the price has gone up (like prices have most everywhere), and the thin chicken panini with a small bag of chips now costs $11.49. Few customers dined at the time I ate, however, the staff kept busy replenishing the salad bar and other stations.
