    My husband and I were traveling through Lynchburg on our way to Luray four the weekend. We wanted to stop and enjoy something local and get out of the car for awhile. The restaurant had no control over their musical entertainment act which was WAY too loud for the space. Lack of talent aside, the guy practically ate the microphone and the volume was so offensive you had to shout to be heard. The food was a HUGE let down. We ordered the "signature" shrimp and grits. My shrimp came out with the veins left on and my grits were like a bowl of paste. No self respecting southerner would have eaten those. Plus that's literally the only thing in the dish...6 shrimp ants a mound of pasty grits. No bacon, sausage, peppers, cheese, no flavor, seasoning. They were horrible! The starter salad we ordered was drowning in dressing... it was just a mess. The bartender was the only one working the whole bar area alone. Her did the best he could but come on? We saw other servers... what were you doing? And it took an hour an a half! Will not go back!

    We enjoyed an excellent Sunday Brunch on the patio at The Corner. Not everyone cane get a brunch menu right, but they really nailed it. They have a great selection of brunch options - reliable, diverse, and delicious. Service was great as well. I would just say that the mimosa came in a small champagne flute, which I thought was on the small side for a $7 mimosa. Otherwise, really enjoyed it and would definitely return!

    It was commencement weekend and it was busy. The owner was friendly and helpful. Our steaks were over cooked and could not be replaced due to the kitchen not having more. Everyone in our party liked what they had, including their second choice. Our meals did come out at different times. Our bill was not adjusted to reflect the issues experienced. While good, since we were celebrating, it was a little disappointing.

    The good: Excellent food, very friendly and hospitable service, reasonable prices. Local foods, well prepared and simply presented. The not so good: The dining room ambient temperature was a bit warm and muggy, and many of the beer selections on the drink list were sold out.

    We have given the Corner Restaurant a couple of chances now, but the food was so bland each time. My wife's grits were awful. They were boiled and placed on the plate without so much as a bit of salt to season the water. This has happened each time. No more visits. Sorry.

    My wife and I went to The Corner for a wine night, it had a German theme. We met Susan the owner and also met the chef when she bought him out. Very well done and super friendly service, and generous pours. The wine pairings were great and the food was just delicious. We’re planning on visiting again for the New Years Eve pairing.
