The Corner Grille

I woke up around 2pm and decided I wanted to do brunch. I found a cute small restaurant that does brunch from 9am-3pm Saturdays & Sundays. I was pressed for time so I jumped up got dressed and headed to The Corner Grille. There was a line and wait when I got there but luckily I was alone so I got the option to sit at the bar. I was seated right away. So if you’re looking to visit, beware they are busy.

I was greeted by a friendly server with a smiling face. After looking over the menu, I decided on the French Toast, with eggs, and bacon. I ordered a mimosa to drink. The food arrived in a decent amount of time considering they were busy. The mimosa was delicious. the french toast was good. It wasn’t slap your mama good but it was good. I’m not sure what it was missing but something was just missing. The bacon and eggs were great. I mean not much you can do to mess that up, right?

I wanted to order the beignets. I LOVE beignets. If you’ve been to New Orleans, you should know what a beignet is. If you have been to New Orleans and haven’t been to Cafe Du Monde, you should just redo your entire trip. Seriously. When I was finally ready to order them, I was so full and I was scared to order them. Because I would be so disappointed if they tasted nothing like Cafe Du Monde’s beignets (I doubt they do). But if you’re interested try them!

The inside of the Corner Grille is super adorbs. It’s small and intimate. Makes for a great date spot. I’d love to see how intimate it gets in the evening time. Beware they have a dress code. Ha. View the website before you visit. Luckily, I read it and didn’t show up in my pajamas.

The servers are super friendly. The guy that served me didn’t even charge me for the mimosa! Always great to get a free mimosa.

I’d recommend this restaurant. Just maybe a different entree.

    Loved the blog. I’m always looking for the restaurants I haven’t tried. This looks right up my alley. Second, having been to NOLA lots of times, I love Cafe Du Monde and like you, I judge all beignets by that standard. I’ll give it a shot and try them myself. Again, really enjoyed the blog.

    I’ve never tried a beignet, but this post sure makes me want to. I love little whole in the wall restaurants, I always feel like you’re sure to get good food and good service, on account of they need it to thrive – a small perk indeed. Also, if you’re ever in Decatur you should try out a restaurant called Sun in My Belly – it’s to die for, but they close at 3pm so you’ve got to be commited to getting up early. You won’t regret it!
