We met a niece for a long lunch during the week. Comfortable and casual vibe, and a nice menu…read moreselection. Breakfast available, so one in our party went with that, and that was the right choice for the day we were there. My wife and I each got a salad - I got the California Chicken, and she got the Chicken Harvest Apple Salad. The menu says they are each spring mix lettuce, but there wasn't much spring in either of ours - pretty much iceberg with a touch of darker greens. The chicken was thin and tasted fine, but didn't have a lot of seasoning. The bread was good, and if the lettuce had been closer to what we thought we were getting it would have made a significant difference. We just chose poorly. The breakfast platter looked amazing, and we saw a couple of wraps and sandwiches pass by that looked really good. Service was very pleasant and efficient, and our food came out in good time. They cleared our table as well and even though it pretty much counter service, there was more service provided than you might expect. We will try again and just stick to the sandwiches or breakfast. The lettuce mix may have been a substitute or may be what locals prefer; just wasn't what we thought we would be getting.

I am not from the area and was looking for a place to work for the day. After purchasing a cup of…read morecoffee from another establishment (who did not have ideal seating), I visited Queen Beans and asked if I could bring my outside coffee in if I purchased breakfast there. The staff member assured me it was no problem at all, so I bought breakfast and worked for the day. The next day, I followed the same routine (since I actually really enjoyed the other places coffee and I was already told it was no problem if I bring in outside drinks). However this time, a different staff member informed me that outside beverages were not allowed, but said I could stay if I poured my coffee into one of their cups. I completely understood and complied without any issue. 30 minutes later, the owner approached my table in an aggressive manner and began berating me for not following their rules. Despite explaining that I had received information from two employees allowing me to stay, the manager continued to reprimand me, stating it was common sense not to bring outside drinks. While I always respect the rules of any establishment, the owners disrespectful tone and demeaning language were shockingly disgraceful. I would not recommend dining here if you expect courteous and professional ownership or management.

Stopped in for lunch on our way home while passing through town. You step up to the counter and…read moreplace your order, and then you pick a table and await your food. Self-serve soda, with a variety of options, and a VERY reasonably priced menu with lots of selections. The motif is what you'd expect -- small town diner, with improvements to the historic building and a few modernizations. Very friendly, fun, and pleasant service, and solid food. My wife got the Egg Salad Sandwich on homemade bread, and I got the Philly Chicken. We shared the Sweet Potato Fries. Good sandwiches, and fries, and the food came out in a reasonable time. The day we were there they were doing a very good carryout business, and I suspect that is the case most of the time. Definitely worth a try!

Pretty good sandwiches with a variety of options. They also have salads and wraps.

The sandwiches were fresh and tasty, The tomatoes were fresh, the lettuce (iceberg) was crisp, and the white bread was very soft. I got the Southwest Chicken with chipotle on the side. I expected a bit more zing, but it was good overall. The bag of chips was about twice the size of a 'normal' side, and the potato salad and macoroni salad were both solid. We all had the chocolate chip cookie for our 'finisher' and they were super sugary and delicious. Solid option for a Denison lunch!

Nothing special about the outside, small white corner building with a ton of customer vehicles parked outside. Walking into the cafe, it was obviously a ma & pa diner as locals were seated everywhere individuals addressing each other by first name. We tried the soup (beef & noodles, chicken & dumplings) and YUM - WOW! Homemade delicious! We also tried the pork tenderloin and cheeseburger. Tenderloin was hand battered and fried to perfection placed on a soft fresh bun with all the fixings. Cheeseburger was nice sized and with all the fixings. Sides were separate and large in portions!! Cheese nuggets and fries were good. (Did I mention how good the soup was?!) Service was country home friendly, warm and welcoming. Locals came through the doors constantly to pickup to-go orders; there was a common theme as they knew the person, common order and amount owed..... felt like home! I typically skip dessert but skipped dinner tonight as I tried a slice of peach pie! Homemade wonderful!!! Just like grandpa's pies!! Full flavor, great crust, perfect ratio of fruit to filling I know... no pictures... sorry... just trust me I'll be driving the 1hr 40 min for another Rye tasting followed with a lunch at the Corner Cafe!
