    Delicious, fresh, perfectly-seasoned food! We really enjoyed our meals. I was hoping for just a tiny bit more of a bold “Cajun” flavor with a tiny bit of heat. But other than that, it was really good. The restaurant is cozy and inviting and the staff was friendly.

    Visited on a Saturday afternoon around 1:40 PM. We did not have reservations so we were told there was about a 15 minute wait. There was a party of 10 ahead of us so we didn't get seated until a little after 2 PM. The space is small, seating about 30 in the dinning area. It's clean and has lots of natural light. Unfortunately, we visited for brunch but it ends at 2 PM so we had to order from the lunch menu. We had kale artichoke dip and corn/shrimp fritters to start. Then we had the shrimp & grits & the blackened chicken sandwich for mains. Kale & Artichoke Dip 4/5 - Dip was tasty & the homemade chips were fresh. Corn & Shrimp Fritters 3/5 - They were okay, somewhat thick batter similar to hush puppies. I didn't taste much shrimp and it seemed to be refried a bit. Shrimp & Grits 2/5 - They gave a pretty decent amount of shrimp and the fresh baguette was nice but the grits missed the mark. The grits were grainy & were lacking creaminess. Blackened chicken sandwich 3/5- Chicken was well seasoned & the bread was soft. Overall, the food was decent, will try again for brunch.

    AMAZING! Me &’ my fiancé came here for the first time today &’ we will definitely be back. Our waiter Kenneth ( I think was his name ) was great. He wasn’t in our face every 2 seconds, didn’t forget our Order, brought drinks without us asking just an overall good experience. Food was 10/10 the presentation was very nice.

    Food was excellent. I got the shrimp and grits with the slice of garlic bread. Nice ambiance and did not have to wait like the other spots down the street. Only reason for 4 stars is our order was incorrect. I have a issue with orders being incorrect especially when you as a server don't want to write it down. It takes a millisecond to write it down and get it correct the first time. All in all a good visit.

    Staying close at an Airbnb, we decided to go to Corner Grille for an early dinner. When we got there, it had only 3 other people there....but by the time we left, it was filling up quickly and we know why. Very good! We ordered the shrimp and corn fritters as an app, moist and delicious. Since I live in the Northeast, I never get to enjoy Grouper. So when down south, I try to order it when I can. The grouper was cooked perfectly, and the root vegetables it came with were so good. My girlfriend ordered the salmon (topped with a sauce that had mushrooms and crawfish) over jasmine rice. Full of flavor! Definitely recommend coming here if in the area.

    My family and I enjoyed this restaurant. The staff was great from the hostess to the waitress. The food was great as well. I was not a big fan of the mashed potatoes, but the steak, the beignets, the salad, and the shrimp and grits were amazing. They are definitely on my list of places to eat when I come back to GA.

    The Corner Grille was great. Food was good, I love how nice the staff is. Everyone was very nice when it came time to seat and place our orders. Went with the Shrimp and Grits and was very pleased. Lots of shrimp in the bowl, needed a little more grits to keep up with the amount of sausage and Shrimp in the bowl. I would recommend trying this place out if you are in town!

    The food was great, the service was first class and our server handle our large group with ease and care. The place is small so reservation is highly recommended plus parking is limited.

    My bf and I here on his work trip. Not a lot of places to go to near our hotel for dinner but I literally found what I felt like was a diamond in the ruff. As soon as I walked in I got an amazing vibe. Everyone was so nice and the atmosphere was on point from the music,to the tables,and the space in general. Our server John was so inviting and his recommendations proved he knew the menu and he was an amazing server. My bf and I talked at our hotel bar afterwards over a drink about how it’s hard to find a place that covers the board as far as food, service, and atmosphere but this place nailed it. We had appetizers “ the gumbo and shrimp corn fritters “ so good! I had the shrimp and grits and literally it was the best I’ve ever had. I’m from Charleston SC and we are known for shrimp and grits and this place beat us hands down. My bf had the seafood pasta and even though I was stuffed he made me try it and wow it was so good! I literally can’t say enough about this restaurant. If you’re in the area you have to go here you will not be disappointed! Thanks you guys for an amazing experience. I wish you had a restaurant In Charleston because you’d take my money! Wish I would’ve taken pictures of everything but I was in the moment.

    Oh my good heavens! What a delicious meal! We stopped at The Corner Grille on our way around Atlanta. We wanted to avoid driving through the Midtown area since we're not local or used to this level of traffic. After consulting Trip Advisor and Google reviews (and a map) we ended up here. It's just a small hole-in-the-wall place, but it was upscale and nice! We started our meal with mouth watering beignets! What a treat! They were hot and sweet, just perfect! There was no kids menu, so our munchkins shared a burger that looked really good. The fries were very tasty as well. I, personally, would have preferred all the veggies that were supposed to come on it, but you know kids, so we got it plain. Still looked good! Not living anywhere near a coast, hubby and I were excited about shrimp! He got the Shrimp Cobb salad, while I got Shrimp and Grits! Oh. My. Goodness. Everything was scrumptious! There was an ample amount of shrimp in each meal! The sausage with my grits was sliced thin and cooked to perfection. Oh, so good! Hubby loved his salad, feeling pleasantly full, but not stuffed or regretting a heavy, greasy meal. I also tried the Georgia Peach cocktail (When in Rome...), it was sweet and the bourbon was great! Our waitress was the sweetest and kept us well cared for while we ate. A+ experience! If we're in the Atlanta area again, I want to come back, especially for their Saturday Brunch, which we missed by only 15 minutes! Darn! Overall, amazing place that everyone should try!

    I started coming here when I first moved to the Atlanta area, and it’s been a while but glad to be back. The ambiance, and service is always great in this place. I’ll admit sometimes the very first impression can throw you off however once seated you will be extremely happy.. Also a special shout out to Vanessa and Kenneth who throw that extra something something on it.

    I truly enjoyed my experience here! There are so many delicious food options to choose from. All the appetizers are delicious. Especially the shareable ones. The Cajun Chicken sandwich (fried) is perfectly flavored, the crunch it spectacular, the toppings do not overpower the chicken, and the chicken breast left me speechless! This spot is perfect when it’s not at full capacity. There was not enough wait staff but they still did great.

    Met a friend for lunch, it was my first time here. Black owned! The food was great! I had the pasta and my friend the chicken and waffles. Both were delish! I will be back excited to see the changes going on in College Park.

    I was in Atlanta for business, staying in a hotel near the airport. A search showed The Corner Grille as less than 10 minutes away - the reviews were positive, so I thought I'd try it out. I'm glad I did! The restaurant is on the smaller side, and all the tables were occupied when I arrived around 6pm. I was told an hour wait, but was plesantly surprised to be seated in the upstairs section 20 minutes later. The server was attentive, thoroughly answered questions, and made sure to often check on me. I ordered Shrimp and Grits - it was fantastic. I saw another review about the dish and I would agree: there's a generous portion of shrimp (which I DEEPLY appreciate), but there aren't enough grits. Everything was well seasoned - no complaints there. Garlic bread was tasty, and the perfect compliment to the meal. For desert, I ordered the brownie a la mode. Warm brownie, cold ice cream, and fudge/caramel drizzle - ah! Overall, a very good experience. I wouldn't hesitate to go back, or recommend it to others.

    This is one of my favorite brunch spots! Food is always good and the service is great.

    First impression is everything and this place knocked it out of the park. Lamb shank had amazing flavor and such deep richness to the sauce that it just melt in your mouth. I also ordered the salmon with mushroom sauce and it was a dish I’ve never tasted before in my 5 years of being in the culinary industry. I personally got to talk to the Cook Glen and he is so talented at what he does. He described a dish to me before I even tried it and I knew it was going to be the best dish on the menu. Presentation of the dishes were a work of art and the food came out relatively fast. Everything from service to ambience was on point. This place is a must visit if you’re visiting Atlanta or just stopping by the airport for a delayed flight.

    Had I known this tasty restaurant was so close to the airport, I would've been many times before. This little gem has amazing Cajun food! The seafood pasta was so full of flavor! The corner square is a mixture of cheesecake and pecan pie married together and drizzled with raspberry sauce. There's a reason your mouth is watering, right now! Will definitely be back!

    Every single food and drink I order was great! I highly highly recommend the Corner Grille! Their margarita knocked my socks off, it was that delicious! I don’t even like gumbo, but I tasted their gumbo and quickly changed my mind! I also order their Cajun pasta. If I could eat that for the rest of my life, I would die happy. So delicious. Again highly recommend!!!

    Me and my mom ate here after a long day of travel and we both loved it. The food was really good and we think the price was worth it. It’s a little hard to get parking over there but it’s definitely doable. I would eat here again if I’m in the area.

    The food was awesome We had the Brussels *nothing special about them, but they were good. Kale and Artichoke dip AMAZING! lemon pepper chicken and mash potatoes. Very delicious, not so much the bland fried broccoli. The salad with chicken and berries etc was also very good. Will definitely be back! Service was great! Beignets were pretty good too!

    Wow! What a delightful surprise. I had to take a picture of my lemon pepper chicken after I had gobbled the kale artichoke dip. It was all soooooo good. My colleagues had the Gumbo and Salmon Opelousas, and of course we had the beignets (which we finished before I remembered to take a picture of.) Our server Jon was amazing. Great smile and just the best. He started with "I'm Jon and I'll be taking good care of you," which he totally did. I would recommend this place without hesitation!!!!

    Absolutely loved everything about my lunch visit to this location. The portion sizes are huge so come hungry. I had the honor of being waited on by one of the owners and he provided Top Notch customer service. I look forward to returning in the future.

    First-time customer. Aesthetically pleasing and calming environment. Excellent service. I had the salmon club sandwich & fries. It was amazing! Moreover, my mother had the grouper; the sauce was flavorful, and the brussel sprouts were perfectly cooked. Our server Kenneth was great! If I'm ever over this way, I'll be sure to drop by again and try something else.

    My friend and I went to The Corner Grille for a late lunch. We were promptly seated upon our arrival by the hostess Gayle. It was my second visit while my friend is a regular visitor. She likes to go there for quiet meals coupled with some work on her laptop before or after her meals. My friend had her usual Bleu Byrd, I had the Cajun Seafood Pasta and we shared an order of the Shrimp & Corn Fritters. She enjoyed her meal as per usual. If you like cheese, you will love the Cajun Seafood Pasta, as it is covered with a thick layer of cheese. Our server Vanessa offered to customize my order without the andouille sausage if I had an issue with pork - which I did not. The Corner Grille is a cozy restaurant with seating for 30-36 patrons on the main floor and two or three at the bar. Our server Vanessa was very attentive and served us initially with beverages, then quickly with fritters, and then quite timely with our meals. We both thoroughly enjoyed our lunch.

    Since I am a Burger Connoisseur, boy, did I score big today. So today was Roadrace day, and I used to stop at that Cheesesteak place right after you leave the park, but will never go there again especially after their recent chain of events that has occurred there and the food, well, not worth my money. So I wanted a good burger, went somewhere that I was familiar with but they were close. So looked over and saw The Corner Grill, and boy they didn't disappoint. When you first walk in, you are greeted by Ms. Vanessa, she took care of me. Got my waitress name Charray, and then the owner name Julian walked up, so had great conversation with the 3 of them, and you can tell they enjoy each other. Julian couldn't stop teasing Ms. Vanessa, loved it. Now about the burger, 100 percent per Angus beef, not frozen, AND IT WAS HUGE TOO. It was exactly what I was looking for, juicy. Juicy and with a season patty. Not sure if that was a Brioche bun or not, but the burger was so juicy and good. Having like a fourth of the burger left, I couldn't believe how the juices was still punching me in the face, I loved it. Last and not least, and most importantly, price worthy. Hey Julian, now I need a Lamb burger please.

    This place is a gem! Everything we tried was amazing. Our server John was top tier. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the top sellers on the menu. We tried the Shrimp & Corn Fritters, Fried Calamari, Shrimp & Grits, and Blackened Salmon Opelousas. They all were a hit. Especially the salmon and the fritters. My Georgia Peach drink did not lack in taste either. They were friendly with the alcohol! I'm definitely going back the next time I'm in town!

    Whoa. The fried Cajun chicken sandwich is insane. I took the picture after eating half and did a little dance while I ate it. Goodness. There must be a secret they aren’t sharing in this recipe. It’s the best chicken sandwich I’ve ever had. Go here.

  • 4/5 Justin R. 7 months ago on Google
    the gumbo it had a great taste but very Soupy the roux could have been much thicker salad was standard for the price of the food you should get more the pasta might be the only thing fill u up for $30 grits had a great tast also but again for $25 u should leave full service was great I think this is a great place for lunch but not for dinner

  • 5/5 Melissa W. 10 months ago on Google
    The inside of the restaurant is inviting and warm. The food was great as well. Bought some steaks, a burger, and their lemon pepper chicken n broccoli. You can order online and they do package it well if you are ordering to go. I will be back, I saw rib tips on their featured menu!!

  • 5/5 Amayou 1 year ago on Google
    Got seasoning? The Corner Grill certainly does!!! I enjoyed the shrimp Cobb salad with deliciously seasoned shrimp. There was clearly somebody black in the back that put that seasoning on those SKRIMP!!!! My date had the cheeseburger and fries, well done but juicy!!!! Brownie a la mode, was PERFECTION. Do you know how sometimes you get a brownie a la mode and the brownie is stale, well this one must’ve been made from scratch. It was warm, gooey, and divine!!!

    I came here with my wife for dinner and The Corner Grille didn't disappoint! We came as walk-ins on a Thursday night and were seated immediately since it wasn't too crowded. I got the Cajun Seafood Pasta and my wife got the Blackened Salmon Opelousas. Both dishes were seasoned well and had a lot of flavor. Our server was attentive and the overall service was fast, so the food came out pretty quickly. The overall atmosphere was quiet and cozy, so we'll definitely be back again!

    Don’t be fooled by the name. It’s no corner grill. The food does not match the name. The food was on a different flavor level. Very thought out dishes. The food was really good. The beignets were not puffed like the traditional but were tasty. It was a relaxed, casual vibe. The services was great. We did reserve a table so we were seated within 5 minutes.
