    Espresso martini
    Maria N.

    Stopped by fairly early for breakfast to start our busy day. I have to say, parking here is pretty bad. The parking spots are super tight so we ended up parking across the street. The wait time was not too bad, 20-30 minutes. Once seated, we got offered drinks and our waiter took our order. I started out my day with an espresso martini because why not, lol!! This martini was so good, I had 2. As for food, I ordered an omelette with ham and cheese which came with toast and hash browns. The food is good, service is great!

    Hookah

    Had a great experience, especially thanks to Musho. He took care of our hookah and did an excellent job. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was set up perfectly and running smoothly throughout the night. You can tell he really cares about giving people a good experience. Great service, great attitude, and definitely someone who stands out. We'll be coming back!

    Hookah

    It was the best Hookah experience and excellent service. Food was good too. I enjoyed every second of my day in here))

    Amazing vibe, amazing food, and amazing hookah! The service was outstanding from start to finish. The waiters were attentive, friendly, and always on top of our orders. They constantly made sure the table was clean and that we had everything we needed. The hookah was exceptional as well, first time trying to russian hookah, great quality and great service throughout the night. Overall, an amazing experience with delicious food, excellent hookah, and top-notch hospitality. Definitely a place I would come back to!

    The environment is really nice and classy. Food was mediocre. They told me chicken panini is their best sandwich but unfortunately it wasn't flavorful. Hookah was good but were expecting more often to change our coals, there was a time we had no coals and had to wait a some time for changing the coals especially when you add 20% automatic tip, you should be on top of your service. Overall 3/5

    The best hookah in the valley and even better packer is Musho!!! Won't disappoint. Service is always excellent and servers and always ensures that you're well taken care of.

    Ask for the strawberry-strawberry-strawberry flavor!

    My friend and I have been customers of The corner for the last two years and we have had the best experience overall and on every visit . The service is amazing, the food is exceptional and the best part is the hookah. Musho is truly amazing , he makes the best hookahs in town. He is extremely kind, friendly and the best at what he does . I can also say the bar tenders , every server, hosts, even the security guards are awesome. Truly a great establishment for any day of the week. There is nowhere comparable to The Corners food, service, ambiance!

    Felt like we stumbled on a hidden gem! I've been looking for the perfect pancake and feel like this as close to perfect as I'll find without making it myself. I was really delighted by the attentiveness of the staff. Each team member worked well with the others and I felt our care was seamless and prompt. We learned that the restaurant had a refresh a few years ago and I found the tables and chairs, the patio, and the cleanliness all contributed to a great atmosphere. Found out that it turns into a hookah lounge in the evenings (weekends?) - which isn't my vibe, but they serve brunch until 3pm, which definitely IS my vibe. I'll be back!

    The Corner gave me my best breakfast ever! I LOVE breakfast and after checking Yelp reviews, this was my place to choose! I convinced my wife that this was the place and it did NOT disappoint!!!!!! OMG, "destination-worthy". DO YOU WANT PERFECT SERVICE? Come here! Do you want a great breakfast???? Come here! You can choose inside or outside, both look great! Waiters that are watching to refill, give you whatever you need. I mean, fantastic service - for breakfast!!! Delicious meal...... no skimping. Great coffee. Parking..... I haven't been to a place this good since..... uh.... forever. I consider this the best place to get breakfast period. Too bad I was only visiting. I hope to come here again!

    cute table setting :))

    The Corner is a nice neighborhood cafe that serves salads, sandwiches, burgers and also breakfast until 3pm. My son and I tried this place today for lunch and had a decent experience. They have a very extensive menu here. There's a parking lot in the back and I also noticed a sign that said Complimentary Valet but there wasn't anyone at the stand. We walked in to a completely empty restaurant and saw one server (Denise) taking another table's order outside. I think she was the only employee on duty and doing everything by herself. After about 7 minutes, she approached us and asked if we wanted to sit inside or outside, and we said outside. Then she asked us if we preferred the smoking or non-smoking patio, and we chose non-smoking. I didn't even know this was an option nowadays, I thought smoking at restaurants wasn't allowed anymore. Apparently they also have hookah available every day starting at 5pm, both inside and outside the restaurant. I was really looking forward to trying their frittata but didn't know that breakfast was only until 3pm. Unfortunately I couldn't order it since we got here around 4pm. We stayed with our waters and I got a bowl of their Clam Chowder soup that came with 2 bulky and FRESH pieces of warm Focaccia bread. I also ordered a Chicken Pesto Panini which came with Grilled Chicken Breast, Basil Pesto Aioli, Tomato, Mozzarella, Fresh Basil, Roasted Peppers and Arugula on toasted Ciabatta Bread. I chose Fruit as my side. The ingredients were all fresh, but unfortunately the bread was toasted way more than my liking and the sandwich was really dry overall. There wasn't enough pesto and the chicken was a bit overcooked. I felt like I was hurting my tooth as I ate it. On the other hand, my soup absolutely stole the show. It was an outstanding bowl of Clam Chowder that really hit the spot after not having it for several years. It was piping hot, and again, very fresh. So flavorful and enjoyable. I savored every spoonful! My son ordered the French Turkey Sandwich that came with Roasted Turkey with Swiss Cheese, Avocado, Tomato, Pickles, Lettuce, Red Onions, Garlic Aioli on Sourdough Bread. He loved his sandwich and ate every crumb off his plate. I also had some of his sandwich and it was really good, way better than mine. Also nice portion for the price. He got his with a side salad that had arugula, tomatoes, red onion and lemon vinaigrette. After seating us and taking our order, Denise disappeared and Bryce took over. He was an excellent server and provided great customer service. I told him about my issues with my sandwich and he apologized and brought me some extra pesto aioli on the side. The place is very clean and everything looks very new and well-kept. Bryce mentioned they've been around for about 10 years but did an extensive remodel during COVID. I'd also like to mention that the tap water tasted so good. No nasty aftertaste like some other restaurants. Even their glasses were beautiful. Thank you management, Bryce and The Corner. We will be back another time to try the same sandwich and see if there's any improvement. We will also try more things, including the Frittata. Both restrooms were fully stocked and super clean!!

    We were craving a burger late night and had the idea of coming here. Food was delicious! My favorite thing to get off a menu is usually a sampler platter because it gives you a little bit of everything to try. Let's say it was the right choice. Service was exceptional! Our server Jhoseline was so attentive and so sweet. Usually at these types of places service is slow but they were on top of it all! Vibes are great, very chill place to eat, hang out and even smoke hookah. Can't wait to come back to try some of their brunch items

    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

She was darling and she genuinely cares about her establishment, staff, and clientele. We had a great chat and she told me that she's thinking of adding a dart board and possibly a Pac Man tabletop. Most importantly, she wants to make sure customers have a memorable experience. I can honestly say that it absolutely was for me! Even though it was a school night I couldn't leave without doing a shot with my favorite crew. A Mexican Candy shot (Tromba Blanco, Watermelon, Agave), which was another delicious creation that I thoroughly enjoyed.

PURCHASE(S) Fremont Brewing Dark Star Double Oatmeal Imperial Stout Beer 8.00% ABV 16floz Draft ($6.00 HH; Reg. $9.00): Dark brown color, coffee oatmeal roasty aroma, medium body, chocolate coffee oatmeal roasty toasty flavor, mouthfeel smooth finish, and coffee oatmeal roasty toasty aftertaste. This was a really tasty brew and my favorite of the two! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=ad_C9YTJYF9lVr2FOEQLkg 12" Margherita Pizza ($20.00 HH; Reg. $26.00): A simple pizza with a somewhat thin crust that was kind of cardboardy, the flavor was rather pedestrian with chewy mozzarella although the basil was fragrant and fresh. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=kdkvUttCLmMOAGQ1nyp5tg Figueroa Mountain Brewing Co. Danish Red Amber Lager Beer 5.50% ABV 16floz Draft ($5.00 HH; Reg. $8.00): Dark amber red color, malty allspice aroma, low body, malty sweet flavor, clean smooth finish, and malty sweet aftertaste. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=QQjsTWce5Lstcxj5PowrYw Steak Fries ($7.00 HH; Reg. $9.00): This was an impulse buy as something to pair with my second beer. A decent portion-sized snack, each spud stick was hot, steaming, and thick and came with a side of ketchup. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=GVoy0nzxFUL6rHWaxNdG7Q SERVICE We were warmly greeted by a sole young woman behind the bar who handed us a menu and directed us to sit anywhere. After a few minutes of reviewing the menu, we each placed our order at the bar, our drinks were delivered quickly while the food took mere minutes to arrive at the table. We had to approach the bar each time we ordered something, but any empty glasses and plates were collected at the table. Once we closed out our tabs, we were thanked for coming as we headed out into the night. Everything was chill and easy - thank you! 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...

    We were here on Tuesday afternoon and it was not busy at all. It was the tail end of happy hour so…read morewe got our food and drink orders in before that ended. The old fashioned was good as was their twist on the spritz. I loved the fried pickles (also from the happy hour menu). The server was great. She came by at the right times and was friendly and answered our questions about the menu. This is a great spot for happy hour and I'm glad to have discovered it.

    Their outdoor patio is the reason to come here! Lots of seating, enclosed shaded area, good tunes,…read moredog friendly, and cute decor. No parking lot, but there's plenty of parking along the side streets. Beef Sliders - Comes with two. The sliders were overall well done. Like done done. The beef itself was so well done it was hard. And the sliders as a whole were also hard, as if they had either been under a heat lamp for far too long, or were sitting on the grill waiting to be ordered. Even the bread was hard. The flavor was ok, but it was difficult to get past the texture. Comes with fries. Those were delicious. Flor Daiquiri - Made with the Nicaraguan Flor de Cana rum. Sooooo good. Literally couldn't stop ordering these. The alcohol was subtle but definitely there. Perfectly balanced cocktail. Pretty affordable for LA prices. Cocktails were all around 15 bucks, food was around 20. I want to give this place another shot because of how cute the patio was and how great the drink I got was, so tbd on the food! Maybe the kitchen had an off night.
