Passion Fruit Lemonade $12.00 (03/06/26). @TheCornerLA #Glendale #Breakfast #Brunch #Lunch #Dinner
Jeff B.

(Dined 03/06/2026 FR @ 10:00am): This restaurant was literally located on a corner! One of my best friends and I met up at The Corner as we caught up with each other as grown men over 50 did these days. Neither of us had been here before, but I've driven by this place countless times since it was near my dentist, and I used the street as a main thoroughfare sometimes getting to and from the properties. I normally wasn't an eater during formal breakfast hours, but exceptions happened sometime. Did we have a good time as we hung out at this corner!? PURCHASE(S) Passion Fruit Lemonade ($12.00): To be sure, I was aghast when I saw the price of this tropical drink. Who does it think it was... an Erewhon smoothie!? It was a beautiful colorful presentation with an equal taste of passion fruit and lemonade (it was best to stir the drink now and then), but I felt it didn't warrant such a high price tag because truthfully I could've easily made this and multiple servings of it at home for cheaper. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=ZLB4UEvW0TFbAiChZD4bOA Veggie Omelet w/Hash Browns & Sourdough Toast ($21.00): A medley of baby spinach, mushrooms, pimientos, red onions, and tomatoes, this was a fluffy and light omelet that was still filling at that same time. Everything smelled and tasted fresh and not bruised in the cooking process. The hash browns was a huge portion size with a lovely exterior crusting while the interior was hot and soft as the catsup was used as a cooling agent and added flavor. The sourdough bread was functional and crunchier than I liked (I preferred a chewier toast). The omelet was the bomb! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=UdFze8X5WkNeKHmIprdJdw Carrot Cake ($15.00): This was one of my go-to desserts, so I had to try it. Once again, a stylish presentation but a diminutive portion size, it was lighter than expected (I liked it more dense), there were obvious notes of spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg, some signs of shredded carrot that added some moisture and sweetness, while the whipped cream cheese frosting sprinkled with cinnamon and nuts that added a touch of tanginess to the sweetness. I liked it but not the portion size or price. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=YrqEbYtn3SCxCyBzz_pq9Q SERVICE We were warmly greeted by a gentleman at the counter who showed us to a table at the covered front patio. Then, our female server came by with menus, glasses of water, and provided us time to decide what we wanted. We eventually ordered, our drinks came out quickly followed by the food minutes later. She checked on us regularly, and once we were done, there wasn't any pressure to vacate the table even though they were getting really busy. Everything was superb - thank you! PARKING (FREE): I luckily found a spot in their tight lot. Otherwise, there appeared to be available parking along the main drag of San Fernando Rd. and all surrounding side streets - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A surprisingly roomy clean modern restaurant with multiple dining areas that included a patio and bar with a blended feel of both casual and classy. In some strange way, it reminded me of an event space I constructed for Coachella years ago! A decent amount of natural lighting came in through the front glass windows and doors while a mix of fanciful and recessed electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. I didn't notice any TVs nor any background music amongst the chattering going on around me. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=pqOcznIfxpQtWK9kSS_Fyg ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL I was happy to finally try The Corner, the time spent with my friend, and I would consider a future visit. The biggest impediment for me were the prices which leaned closely comparable to hotel resort levels. My background was in advertising, marketing, and promotions, so I completely understood presentation, but that rarely translated into added value for the frugal person in me. On the other hand, the menu was varied enough, the space was really nice, and the service was excellent. Plus, I always preferred to support small local mom & pop businesses. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $55.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS

Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 First of all, the parking situation was bad. I came here on weekend to eat breakfast since they have very high reviews. The parking lot is shared with nearby motel and it was packed. Finally found the parking on the street. It was raining on that day and they didn't have that patio seating open. I ordered cappuccino, classic breakfast with two eggs and bacons. Also order omelette, my dishes come with waffle and pancakes. Everything was tasted good, but nothing special. This place is a bit on the pricier side. I would like to come back here again when they have the outdoor patio open it seems like nice seating area to enjoy breakfast and people watching.

Drink Menu
Katherine M.

The corner has been a favorite for brunch especially with their delicious waffles! It had been a while since we'd come back but I was very disappointed to see such a price jump on their menu! I do know things have gone up in price, but making a $19 dollar item $30 now is a bit much! I came in for my birthday and quickly realized their menu had changed, after a quick glance I did see the price change. I'm happy that they're growing and prospering but it is now not a breakfast place I can't keep on rotation. The food here is still as delicious as it was before. The Mexican omelette is my favorite, the chorizo and tortilla crisps complement each other so well! The waffles are the absolute BEST! They aren't overly sweet & they have the perfect balance between crunch and fluff. The service was quick, they checked on us during our entire meal and made sure we had what we needed. If you want to spend 60+ on breakfast for 2, this is a good spot! The food will not disappoint!

Steak Sandwich
Sheeny N.

Visited on a Saturday during brunch time and thankfully, had a reservation because it was packed! Amazing service and the menu offered a wide selection. I absolutely adored the Steak Sandwich. It had nicely toasted ciabatta bread holding a juicy piece of steak cooked medium along with caramelized onions, cheese, and arugula. You can choose the side as well (salad, french fries, or fruit). It was savory and filling! Probably the best steak sandwich I've ever had. I also tried my friend's truffle fries and was amazed by how strong the truffle flavor was. They definitely didn't skimp out on the truffle! They offer free valet parking (entrance on the big street). You can choose to sit outside in the patio or inside. Very spacious and comfortable seating and contemporary interior design. Overall, loved my experience here and will be back for more!

Avocado rolls
Justin J.

Had this place on spots I needed to try for breakfast, and finally made the time to head over. Didn't have a reservation but there were against takes so we were seated right away. Menu is big with plenty of options, su street browsing, I started with a Lovers Island cocktail, combining tequila, mango puree, limoncello and lime. It's an interesting drink missing the mango with the limoncello. Not sure if it is limoncello from Italy but it does cut the sweetness with from the mango, but still remains fairly balanced. For food, we started with the avocado rolls with a tamarind cashew dipping sauce. The sauce was grea, giving this level of sweetness to pair with the onions and sun dried tomatoes in the avocado told. Really enjoyed these! For eggs, we tried the breakfast burrito and the short rib Benedict. Three benefit is huge, coming on waffles, with a layer of guacamole with ample short rib and perfectly poached eggs. However, we felt the short rib needed to be seasoned better and just felt it was missing something to bring it all together as a bite. The short rib was cooked very well though. As for the breakfast burrito, it is stuffed with avocado and hash browns, and came with a side of hash browns. Like the short rib, the hash browns needed seasoned desperately. Only took one bite of them, and that lack of seasoning ended it right here. The burrito, itself, was pretty good with the Mexican chorizo giving it a ton of flavor. Overall, decent breakfast spot with other options besides breakfast. This avocado rolls were great, and the burrito itself was very good. I'd skip on the short rib benedict though.

The Corner Breakfast special
May T.

1st time trying this place for brunch searching on Yelp. I ended up ordering their Breakfast Special that includes eggs, bacon, and pancakes. Pancakes were soft and not too sweet. It was good to eat with their syrup. I also ordered Protein Omelet that was made from egg whites. Inside the omelet was pieces of chicken, spinach, mushrooms, and Swiss cheese. I like this omelet because it was light, also lean, and healthy dish I would say. It was seasoned well. This order also came with waffles that I didn't like. Waffles were tough to chew. Outside was tough and rubbery. Inside was dry and not a good flavor. Service was okay but I waited for a while to get their attention at first. This place is clean with modern style and decors. Suitable for children and family dining.

Short rib benni
Shuran W.

What a gem! After recovering from a serious food coma, I had to write this review--still thinking about that frittata. It was my first time here, though my husband had been before and loved it, so we came with our kid yesterday. It was busy, but the service was fast and incredibly welcoming. I loved the place right away. My husband ordered the short rib eggs Benedict ($27--not cheap), but wow, the portion was generous and the short rib was unbelievably tender and flavorful. Absolutely worth it. I ordered the frittata, which came with potatoes and bread. The bread had lots of sesame seeds (a big plus for me) and was delicious. Our kid loved the chicken tenders and fries--these felt freshly made in-house, not frozen. He said they were really good. They also have a cozy outdoor seating area. The only downside was that the music was a bit loud indoors. Otherwise, 10/10. We'll definitely be back to try more breakfast items

Passion fruit lemonade
Alique Y.

So much variety on the menu, I would love to come back and try more but the wagyu burgers were really good. My entree which was the chicken sandwich was not the best and the drink was a bit sour I had to send it back. Ambience was really pretty we sat outside and it was a great experience

Pancakes with whipped cream and berries
Narek G.

I was looking to have avocado toast in Glendale. My wife and I found this renovated restaurant and were surprised. It was clean, beautiful, with warm service and perfect staff. We ordered avocado toast, hummus, pancakes, coffee, and fresh juice. Overall, the check was around $70, which is actually worth paying for the delicious meals and experience. I'll definitely come back to this spot. Thanks to the staff, they made us happy!

Sonya E.

First off, the ambiance is wonderful! The saxophone player was playing beautifully and it added to the atmosphere. We were seated right when we arrived. Our waitress took our order within 5 minutes which was great. So far so good. We ordered the Chilaquiles and the French Turkey Sandwich with Fries and to drink, I ordered a diet pepsi. Most of our food arrived quickly. My fries took another 7 minutes to arrive and they looked like they been sitting there for awhile. Not happy. The drink arrived about 5 minutes after the food, again, not happy. The Chilaquiles were good although the sauce was a bit tart. The turkey sandwich was delicious and filling. The place was busy and we didn't our waitress much, and overall the experience was OK. Good food, wonderful ambiance and ok service.

Side of Fries
Estela V.

My son and I were in the mood for brunch and a drive and ended up here. Parking is limited since their lot is small but, you can park on the street. I would recommend joining the wait list when possible because it can get busy. The service is scattered, I had no idea who our server was until I finally spoke up. Once our server came, we placed our order me for our appetizer which was the wagyu sliders. The pickle was delicious and the onions were perfect. We also ordered a side of fries because why not. For breakfast, I ordered the short stack pancakes. Unfortunately they lacked sugar and were a bit rubbery. The fresh whipped cream and berries really helped. My son ordered the Belgian waffle which he loved and devoured. I would come back but, try something different. The ambiance is modern, busy and clean. I would recommend coming here for a variety of reasons.

Brussel Sprouts and  Pesto Panini
Brenda R.

Okay... this place was a 10/10 and we didn't leave a single crumb behind. We ordered the pesto panini, fries, and brussels sprouts, and let me tell you... the brussels sprouts were so good we literally destroyed them before anyone even thought about taking a picture. That's always the sign of a great dish. The chicken panini was perfectly pressed, warm, and packed with flavor. Juicy chicken and it paired perfectly with the fries (which were also dangerously snackable). And can we talk about the drink for a second? It came out looking like something straight off a Pinterest board -- layered pink with dragon fruit and mint on top. Super refreshing and honestly just fun to drink. Service was amazing too. The servers were really attentive, checked in at the right times, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and welcoming. Safe to say we ate everything on the table. No leftovers, no regrets. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when I'm in the mood for good food and good vibes.

Over cooked and burnt country potatoes
Mayra M.

came in for brunch and had about a 6/10 experience overall. I was expecting more from a place being in the middle of Glendale. The place was pretty crowded and the ambiance was quite loud, but we were seated quickly, which I appreciated. The server was nice and welcoming! Food wise, the egg whites and waffles were the highlights for me. The coffee was average, nothing particularly memorable. The pancakes were a bit disappointing. They were drier than expected for "fluffy" pancakes, and the frosting on top made them overly sweet and overpowering. I was hoping for a lighter flavor. The country potatoes were also a letdown. They were very dry, overcooked, and lacked seasoning. Some pieces were even burnt, which you can see by the color and texture in one of the photos. Overall, it wasn't a bad visit, but a few improvements to the preparation and balance of flavors could make the brunch experience much better.

It depends on when you are going. For instance, brunch on the weekends is always busy so you need to get your name in ASAP.

Not sure if there's a charge for that, but either way, it's a nice touch. They're open pretty late, and while the location doesn't have a bunch of other bars or spots around, the upside is tons of parking--which I totally love.

Was literally eight thin slices of steak, like 1" x 1" size for $42! No, I will not be coming back here for so many reasons. The view is great. Castaways is definitely not what it used to be in the way of quality but at least you get more and you get the view. But definitely not worth it going to this place. It was quite a frustrating evening. Also, if you do decide to go here, just bring a coat when it's a little bit cooler in the evenings cause it does get cold up here and getting the staff to manage the heaters correctly is a whole other frustration. Oh, and valet is your only option for parking up here. It's kind of crazy because a few years ago you could just go park in the lot or the garage that's available there but now they're charging you $11 and it's chaos. I will say that the view up here is great though so if you're willing to forgo all of that for a view for like a one time date or something like that, it might be worth it

PARKING (Varied; FREE this instance): I parked in the nearby original Glendale Galleria parking structure and simply walked over first to The Americana then to this place. Otherwise, there was limited parking along the main drag of Brand Blvd. and other surrounding side streets, the nearby Glendale Galleria II parking structure, The Americana parking structure that offered validation, numerous public transportation options, and rideshares - 'nuff said! ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A dark cavernous speakeasy-like place with open space, various tables and couches strewn about, and a large long somewhat decorative bar with an impressive whiskey selection displayed behind it. I appreciated the exposed brick walls which gave it that old-time feel with a few framed pictures hung on them. Minimal natural lighting came through the front doors and windows while minimal electric ceiling lights filled in rest. There was at least one projection TV where we watched the Dodgers game while music played in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=SomLKsk1KVcemeOCHGOZfg ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL It was nice to slip into The Famous Bar for the first time in over a decade, and if I found myself spending time in downtown Glendale again, I'd consider another visit. Sadly, I try to avoid the highly congested area as much as possible. I loved the fact that they had a daily happy hour (4pm-7pm) and late-night SU-TH happy hours (10:30pm-close), so there was always a deal to be found. The drinks were the main reason you came, while the food was just an add-on. The prices were elevated, but you had a good menu selection of libations (nice local craft beer list) to choose from. The customer service was easy, friendly, and straightforward. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $42.00 BEFORE any discounts/tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice...

For starters I tried the tuna tartare with ponzu and avocado and salmon sashimi with the truffle zest paired with the eggplant carpaccio - absolutely delicious. Every bite felt fresh and well balanced. The Le Brand salad with eggplant and chili sauce was also a standout, bright and flavorful. I have to say, the pasta choices are elevated, especially the orzo tartufo with mushroom and truffle and the spaghetti oro nero with black caviar which was the perfect touch of flavor and boldness, both rich without being heavy. For mains, I tried the salmon filled with grilled asparagus and the grilled octopus with remesco sauce. Don't ask me how I was able to scarf all this down - it was too good to pass. We saved what little room we had left for dessert, the Le Brand Cheesecake and mille-feuille wrapped up the night perfectly. Great atmosphere, great service and a menu worth trying over and over again.

The atmosphere during the performances is vibrant and enjoyable. However, for me personally, the music played during the breaks between live sets is way too loud. It makes it difficult to have a normal conversation at the table, which is a big downside for me. Also, the lighting throughout the restaurant is very dim. While it may be part of the ambiance, it makes it hard to take nice photos -- and nowadays that definitely matters. Overall, I still enjoyed my visits, but I hope they consider adjusting the volume and lighting to make the experience more comfortable.
