We decided to give this place a try for breakfast and were pleasantly surprised by the food. Since there was construction going on outside, we chose to sit indoors, but they do have a nice patio if you don't mind a little construction noise. The ambiance inside was inviting, and our breakfast was delicious. The only downside was the service, which felt a bit slow and somewhat disorganized. That said, everyone has off days, so we're willing to give our server the benefit of the doubt. Overall, if you're looking for a tasty breakfast in a pleasant atmosphere and don't mind the possibility of a small service hiccup, I'd recommend giving this place a try. read more

The service was great, and the atmosphere felt upscale yet lively while still being comfortable enough to hold a conversation. They offer quieter indoor seating as well as an outdoor bar area with a more energetic vibe. I ordered the Brussels sprouts, and while the flavor was good, they were a little softer than I would've preferred. The brisket tacos were solid, but the real standout was the short rib taquitos , they completely stole the show. We also tried the $8 margarita, and the pour was surprisingly generous. read more

We had a huge group here for dinner, and for a hotel restaurant, we were pleasantly surprised. The ambience is modern and fun vibes. Service was mostly good. The server was kind enough to do split checks upon request. Everyone enjoyed their dishes, so the food is good overall. Our group was split into 2 tables, which is okay, but 1 table was served way before the other table, so some of our group was done eating by the time others got their food. That was the main challenge we had. Would have been great to serve everyone's food closer time-wise. Overall, good experience and I'd come back if staying at the hotel again. read more

I 100% see how this restaurant has such high reviews. Our food was very good. The service was also great. Management were very active in service. They both came to our table to check up on us which I was impressed by. The restaurant was also very nice ...music just right ... temperature just right and I liked how classy the decor was. The food we had were burnt ends, reddish, baja tacos, coconut sorbet and bananas foster. My husband absolutely loved the dessert read more

I thought Dean's restaurant next door was good but compared to Corner, they have a long way to go. Portions are big and delicious. All of their meats are grass fed so huge plus: no factory meat. Had the corner salad, crab tostadas, ribeye and brownie a la mode. Ordered the South Congress Heat relief and it was delicious and strong. My wife loved her dishes. 5 star service as well. We will be back. read more

We decided to grab a quick bite in between the panels. We heard this place was really good so we decided to give it a shot. Off the first impression, the place looked really nice with several bar areas to quickly grab a seat. However, if waiting for a table it could take some time. So, look for the bar areas and the couches surrounding the bar outside are first come first serve, as well. We grabbed a couch and they quickly came over to clean our table. It was a beautiful day out and the patio area we were sitting at was great so everything seemed perfect. Service was good and our waitress was awesome. We quickly ordered the red snapper ceviche, the brunch burger and the Caesar salad with chicken. The red snapper ceviche was the hit and the fries were very good. As for the salad, my coworker said it was very dry and she asked for extra dressing and it still wasn't right. I thought my burger was mid. I only ate half but killed the fries. In all honesty, this was our least favorite meal here in Austin and if I ever came back, I would try something else over the corner again. Very friendly staff though! OOO 3 out of 5 Afros read more

Booked a reservation for Corner Restaurant for my birthday dinner. Kaylin the hostess was very nice and helpful. All the food was great; flavorful and generously portioned. Both the guacamole and the pollo asado tacos had a nice kick to them. The braised short rib and shrimp and grits dishes were amazing as well. Enjoyed the Corner Restaurant so much I stopped in one more time on Sunday before my flight home to grab a late night burger. Will definitely be back next time I'm in Austin. read more

Nice place for brunch in Downtown Austin. The place is clean and comfortable and the staff is really nice! I had the Greek Yogurt Parfait and the granola was really tasty with a cinnamony flavor to it. Super generous with the granola and the fruit was fresh and yummy. The brisket tacos were also yummy and the meat was generously portioned! I do wish that the breakfast menu was served at the same time as the brunch menu, but everything was good nonetheless. read more

We were trying to find a late night restaurant that would actually be good and Corner actually impressed me!! Besides the fact that they stay open late which is amazing, the vibes were wonderful. I got the chipotle honey salmon (without the pepitas) and cleaned the entire plate. So so so good. Drinks were pretty good too. We had a big party and they accommodated us well and we still had great service. Definitely would recommend when you are in downtown Austin!! read more

Love the outdoor area here. It has such a good chill vibe and is perfect for brunch, daytime drinks on a Sunday, or even a night out at the bar. I also like that they close later and stay open until midnight even during the week. I got the martini sampler and it was so good. The bartender was really nice too which made the experience even better. I highly recommend it and will definitely come back. read more

Corner Restaurant - Mini Martinis - so good! - Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

A friend and I spent a lovely Friday night at Corner while visiting Austin. The space is large with plenty of seating. We sat inside, but if the weather was nice, there is plenty of space outside and a bar outside. We did have to wait a minute as there was no host when we arrived, but one soon arrived and let us to our table. Our server spent good time building rapport with us. We got our drinks ordered, which did take a minute to arrive, but it was a Friday night so I was not too worried. The Caesar salad then came first and it was very tasty especially the cornbread croutons. The burger and fries were fresh and the enchiladas had good flavor although the ends did get a bit hard and chewy. Overall, I would stop by Corner if you are at or near the JW in downtown Austin. read more

We came here on a weeknight and were able to get a table without reservations. Our server was kind and attentive, but the food was just okay. We ordered the spicy guacamole, the cornbread, chipotle honey salmon, shrimp and grits, and a couple of drinks. The frozen Froscato was a nice drink, but they were having problems with the machine that night so it came out a bit late and a little on the thicker side. The cornbread came in a small flat iron pan, making it pretty crispy and also dangerous since it was buttery and flaky. It was delicious. The guacamole was on the spicier side, and we weren't the biggest fan of those spices. The salmon had a lot of harsh flavors to it to the point where it was not enjoyable, since those flavors clashed. My partner liked his shrimp and grits. Overall, the food was just okay, but it wasn't something we would come back for. read more

I had made reservations at Corner because my friend wanted to try this restaurant. I personally did not want to go here because I felt the food was over priced and the food didn't look great on the overly hyped reviews. But this is where my friend wanted to go to celebrate our friendship anniversary. First impression walking in, it seems to be targeting a "high end atmosphere" but people were wearing casual clothes. When checking in, the hosts seem to not able to find my reservations and keep asking for my name several times. I had to whip out my reservation screen shot to show him. Not the best first impression. Then we were seating right next to the entrance of the bath rooms and walk way of another entrance from the hotel to the restaurant. It was such a weird table placement and the table should not exist. Throughout our dining experience consisted of people wandering in and looking lost on where to go. The service here is terrible. We notice our waiter was the only one running many tables. If they were short staff I completely understand and a simple communication from our waiter about it would have helped but he simply was ignoring us for a good 15-20 minutes until our order was taken. When we asked about the menu, he didn't seem to know what drinks were offered and literally circle back about it after we finish our food. He was annoyed we didn't order drinks when he told us. We were full and that's a very late follow up. We ordered the "Wagyu" burger with their secret sauce.. let's say the secret sauce is nonexistent. Burger was juicy but under seasoned. Burger was bland and nothing special. For $$ for this burger, it felt like catfished. 1/5 the burger comes with fries and the fries were crispy. The poblano queso: 1/5 I did not know queso can taste not queso. It was not cheesy and frankly you can't really taste the cheese. It was the oddest thing. The poblano with diced and topped on the cheese but you can not taste it either. Both nonexistent. Do I recommend this place, no. Service is a thumbs down. And food is a thumbs down. Overpriced and honestly overhyped. read more

Rating: 3.3/5 [dine in] We came on a late Thursday night as a group of four. Service was on the slower side, and for the price, the food didn't really deliver overall. 7-Layer with Adobo Chicken Salad ($21): Pretty basic at first, but it grew on me the more I ate. Still, not really worth the price. Old Fashioned Wagyu Burger ($22): This was probably the best thing we had. The burger was delicious, and the fries were solid too. Grilled Prime Flat Iron ($43): Cooked well and paired nicely with the chimichurri. The real standout was the potatoes--crispy, unique, and way better than the burger fries. Honestly, kind of addicting. Wagyu Short Rib ($38): The white cheddar grits were interesting, but they didn't really enhance the short rib. Overall, the flavors fell flat so I would skip this one. read more

Awful and very concerning experience. My family ate here on 7/28 while we were staying at the JW Marriott. Our actual server was Marina Cox. Our bill was about $90, and we paid it directly at the restaurant with a credit card and left a $20 cash tip. We did not charge our meal to our hotel room. A couple of days later, while checking out of the hotel, we paid our room expenses and were about to leave when I decided to look over the hotel receipt one more time. I noticed a $55 charge from this restaurant that we did not make. Thank goodness I had kept our original restaurant receipt proving that we had already paid for our meal. Once we compared the receipts and detailed check records, the circumstances became even more concerning. Our legitimate check with Marina was opened at 10:37 PM and closed at 12:06 AM. While that check was still open, another check was opened at 11:32 PM under John Woods, and food was entered at 11:34 PM. Here is what I find especially strange: that second check contained an Old Fashioned Burger for $22 and Tacos Pollo Asado for $19 -- the exact same two entrées, at the exact same prices, that were already on our legitimate check. The disputed check was then closed at 12:00 AM, six minutes BEFORE our real check was closed. So both checks existed in the restaurant's system at the same time. The $55 disputed charge consisted of $41 in food, $3.38 tax and a $10.62 "charge tip"/service charge. The detailed record also shows Dean Mare associated with the room-account charge/closing entries. I would really like to know who authorized that $10.62 tip and, more importantly, how this second check containing two of our exact entrées ended up being charged to our hotel room when we had already paid for our actual meal separately. The hotel attendant went to the restaurant to get the charge corrected. What was also disappointing was that the restaurant manager didn't even come out to speak with us, apologize, or explain what happened. I understand that mistakes happen, including accidentally charging the wrong room. But the timing and details here are difficult for me to dismiss as a simple mix-up. A second check was created while our real check was still open, it contained the same two entrées from our actual order, it was associated with a different server, and it was charged to our hotel room with an additional $10.62 charge tip. I am not going to speculate about why this happened, but I believe these circumstances deserve an explanation and investigation by Marriott. Lesson learned: Always check your hotel folio carefully before leaving, and KEEP your restaurant receipts. Without my original receipt, I don't know how easily I could have proven that we had already paid for our meal. read more

We had a great experience, overall! Food Elote: 7/10; I thought the flavors worked. Would've preferred less char. Short rib taquitos: 4/10; overcooked; they were well done and then fried some more. I should've sent them back. Brisket Tacos: 9/10; tender and tasty Dulce de leche brownie: 8/10; not-too-sweet warm brownie, but the star was the caramel ice cream. The caramel sauce added a nice, sweet and creamy touch. Lavender refresher mocktail: 9/10; refreshing and sweet; right amount of ice. Blackberry shrub mocktail: 8/10; not as sweet, approaching savory. Service Our server Micah was excellent. She was warm and welcoming, attentive and knowledgeable. She delivered the right amount of salesmanship without being off putting. Ambience Very nice! High ceilings and airy. Love the furnishings. Although the area where we were seated was a little dark. I had to whip out the flashlight on my phone to read the menu. read more

We had a phenomenal experience at Corner located in the JW Marriott downtown. My friend and I went for brunch on her birthday weekend. The food was scrumptious, the service was on point and the drinks were a delight. It's a huge restaurant with rustic modern decor and an industrial feel. We started out with the spicy guacamole and the apple French toast fritters, and nearly ended there! The guac was flavorful and delicious with a little kick. Good tortilla chips. The fritters were amazing!! So good and so glad we got them. They have a bunch sampler that's cool if you want to taste 3 different cocktails for the price of one! It includes the abracadabra (made with gin), an froscato (frozen moscato) and an espresso martini. The first two were my favorites. It was my first time tasting an espresso martini and probably won't rush and order another unless there's cream and I add sugar or Splenda to it. They offer a cold pressed juice each day too and my friend loved hers so much she got two! It was made with ingredients like apple, orange, ginger, turmeric etc. Can't go to Texas and NOT order tacos or the smoked brisket if offered, so I also had the brisket tacos. They are made with the spicy guacamole, Chipotle aioli and pickled onions. The meat is well done. Served in a set of 3, I enjoyed them but know that they are filling! Our server was a sweetheart. She even brought out balloons once we told her it was my friend's birthday. She had some decent pull and was attentive, not annoying but always accommodating and trying to make our experience pleasant by listening to our needs and delivering what we want. Even the hostess was dope - happy and attentive. You can pay for valet or pay for self parking. Either way I recommend Corner!! The menu has plenty more goodness to explore! read more

My wife and I had brunch here yesterday. Not sure if it was because of the Austin marathon, but it was super busy. Thankfully, we had reservations and were seated right away. The restaurant decor is very nice. Very big restaurant, but everything was modern looking and clean. The service was only so-so. Everything just took longer than needed (to order, to get a refill on water, etc.). Seemed like it was more a case of inefficiency than being so busy. Would require multiple asks to get something and I think the server just kept forgetting. He was serving one section but would check on one table then run around, come back for another table, run around, instead of checking in on the section and getting multiple things done in one round. The food was good. I had the Chicken Fried Chicken (4.5/5) - Good, unique version of this dish. Well brined, lightly breaded chicken breast on top of a corns and gravy. My wife had the Chicken and Waffles and also said her dish was very good. Other than the service (which may be just the case of the specific server), rest of the meal was good. read more

Visited Corner Restaurant on a Saturday evening for a double date and really enjoyed the experience. The atmosphere was chill and comfortable, and our waiter was super knowledgeable about the menu. Everyone at the table raved about their food. I ordered the shrimp cocktail (forgot to grab a picture!) and the Baja tacos. The shrimp cocktail was very good, and the tacos were great--full of flavor. The spicy guacamole definitely brings some heat, but it's so worth it. Overall, a great spot for a relaxed dinner with friends. Will definitely be back! read more

Gotta be honest, was pleasantly surprised with this place. It's connected to the JW Marriott here in Austin. The burnt ends were delicious. The sauce on them is definitely different. Hot for my liking but still a solid choice. The corner salad was flat out awesome. The French fries were crispy to perfection. The banana foster dessert is a must try though. Offering a great balanced look of ice cream and soft pudding. Mixed in with small bites of banana. Wow. Our server Micah was awesome. She made some great recommendations. The place itself is pretty cool too, there's a more dining area along with an outdoor bar and seating area as well. Great for a date night or to watch a game and knock some work out.

Great spot for breakfast and brunch! There are plenty of options for both vegetarians and meat eaters, and the avocado toast is delicious. I do wish they offered more gluten-free choices--and that those options were easier to spot on the menu. Parking can be a challenge unless you're willing to pay, which adds up. That said, I'd definitely come back, especially to check out their dinner menu next time. read more

Really enjoyed corner. They have such an eclectic menu for American food and in a very posh part of Austin they're inside the Marriott. I found their Moscow mules really good. They have a nice wine list. The ceviche that is with red snapper is excellent. They have your typical appetizers like queso and cheese dip and their cornbread is served cast-iron table side. The shrimp and grits were massive and delicious the cowboy steak also equally impressive. Definitely come here if you want a hearty meal For mid to upper price point. It's a great place for colleagues to meet. I'm glad I had a chance to visit on my trip to Austin. read more

The Corner is our spot for a late-night munch or a bloody on the patio. Since this is located at the JW Marriott, bring your favorite CC or a wad of cash. The food and service here are always four-plus stars. On this trip, we had a late-night craving, so we split their wagyu burger and fries. We paired our delicious burger with two martinis. The bill was north of $80 with tip. On our Sunday Funday, we met friends for some Bloody Marys and a lite lunch. Plus one and I started with bloodies on the coaches straddling Congress before our guests arrived. One nit, if you sit on the coaches by the street be prepared to be asked for money by the homeless type folks. I was told that they will be doing a complete remodel of the Corner restaurant/bar and the lobby in a few months so be aware. read more

As we checked out downtown Austin, Texas we dipped into the Corner Restaurant. The vibe just felt right here, so we decided to grab our dinner here and I am so glad we did. The food was all top notch. We started out with the spicy guacamole and it was the best guacamole that I have ever had. It was not too spicy and had just enough kick. The Short Rib Tacos was probably second favorite bite that I had on my trip to Austin. These tacos are a must get. Our server, Ali or Abi was great. I hope I got her name right, was so great.

My husband and I made reservations here for Christmas dinner and it did not disappoint. Corner is part of the JW Mariott hotel. They have plenty of outdoor seating and their outdoor patio is dog friendly which is a plus. There were several dogs sitting on the patio. We ordered the cornbread skillet as an appetizer and it did not disappoint. The cornbread was moist with a good flavorful kick to it due to the jalapeños. For entrees I had the corner house salad with chicken and my fiancé had the the grilled prime prime flat iron. The salad was delicious and portion sizes were huge. My husband really enjoyed his meal as well. The only thing I didn't like was that our waiter was pretty much MIA the whole time. We were seated for 15 minutes before someone brought us water or even acknowledged us and the service was just very slow but it could be due to the fact that we did dine here on Christmas Day and they did seem a little understaffed. I wish we saved room for dessert because they all looked amazing but that just means I'll have to come back next time to try them. read more

We really enjoyed our dinner here. We were visiting Austin for a few days and our hotel was nearby. We wanted something better than fast food and weren't in the mood for BBQ. This delivered. The fact that you can sit outside and enjoy the weather while eating delicious food by a vibrant corner definitely helped. We sat at the bar and split everything. We got red snapper ceviche, asparagus, the short rib taquitos and the smoked brisket tacos. They were all delicious, but the tacos were the winner. I had their spicy margarita and my bf had a bourbon. Both were well made and yummy. Service was good, they were attentive. 1 star less because when I ordered the ceviche the waiter said 'do you want chips with that', and I said 'Sure' assuming I'd get a few chips to scoop up the seafood with. Instead I got enough corn chips to feed 5 people and was of course charged for a full order. Everything was pretty pricey including the drinks, but we were on vacation and just accepted it. read more
