Fast service. Lots of street parking close by. Great for large groups. Great for couples. Great for drinks. Fresh food. I ate at this place twice while I vacationed in Austin. It was great. Different vibe than LA places. The waitress was very kind and attentive. We got drinks, a special short rib eggs breakfast and freshly baked bread. We loved everything. Btw, the restaurant is huge and has both indoor and outdoor sitting. read more

Service was INCREDIBLE! We ran in here to get shelter from the rain and ended up having an impromptu dinner and drinks. The food was really good. I ordered cornbread and nachos for the table and the Cobb Salad for dessert. None of which disappointed. Old fashioned's were right on point and not too expensive. Would absolutely recommend! read more

The food was good, but the service was subpar; I let the manager on duty know about the lousy service & the customer's unfriendly policies. He did not seem too concerned. I will miss the fantastic zucchini cornbread read more

I'm not sure what you would eat here that would be 4 or 5* but it certainly hasn't been my last two meals. I ordered a caprese(?) salad it had a dirty taste. Like the tomatoes were rotten. Then I tried yet again ....it's too hot to walk endlessly in Austin. The restaurant choices are too numerous. I've taken hours pouring over restaurant reviews. Finally, I just gave up. So back to the Corner ....yuck and more yuck. I ordered the fish tacos. I received fish fried to a crisp. So fried as to yet determine it was fish. More like crispy fries. I ate one just because there comes a point people are HUNGRY! And I had well beyond reached that point. I ate one. And done. The sauce was great. It camouflaged the fishy taste. I will anxiously await the next 24 hours.... read more

I was torn between 3 and 4 stars. The food was really good and the environment was pretty cool, but the service was strange.. I highly recommend the cold brew coffee. And if you get the egg white omelet, throw some hot sauce on it. read more

Had the braised short rib. Was excellent! Mashed potatoes, horseradish puree, cauliflower / broccoli sauté with perfect seasoning. Great atmosphere to watch a game or the open kitchen if you're a foodie. read more

Decent. Service was cordial. Food came out quickly. That was good and bad. Burnt ends should take longer than 3 minutes. I expected more somehow. Not sure why, since the prices were on par with mediocre dining downtown, but I guess with the variety of texmex available, I wanted and assumed more scratch cooking. Skip dessert; not worth it. read more

Corner is always great. Old Fashioned and Fish Tacos. You can't go wrong with that. Just need the weather to cool down a bit more so I can go back outside. read more

I was really excited to try Corner because it is a really cool looking restaurant with a great location downtown. The atmosphere and the staff were friendly. However, the food was gimmicky, I ordered the seven layer adobo salad that arrived in a plastic tube just for the waiter to pull it up and leave a mangled salad on my plate. What is the point of that? The salad also just didn't feel freshly made to me... The chips and guac to start were disproportionate. We had a tiny serving of guac with a large platter of chips. At the end of the day, the food was just simply not good for the price. read more

First time here!Stopped in for a quick lunch! Was a beautiful day so we sat on the patio. We were greeted promptly and service started out great! Got our drinks and food quickly. The 7-layer salad w/ adobo chicken was amazing and the kale and grain salad was also very tasty! All was perfect until we were ready to leave. We weren't able to locate our sever for about 15 minutes after we had both finished and once she finally came back with the check there was a mistake on it which took even more time to correct before finally being able to pay and leave. Overall it would've been a 5 star experience had the paying and leaving process gone more efficiently. read more

Corner Restaurant - Amazing patio, great service food and drinks! - Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

You know when people ask you how your day was and you say, it's good! Well, when people asked me how my day was, I was that person that elaborated. I told them it was so good because of the brunch I had at Corner. It may have been the endorphins from the bike ride or the company I was with, but you guys, I was STILL thinking about their food long after I had left. What did I get to foster such feeling towards this restaurant? Well, first, we started off with the Zucchini Cornbread. (Ask for extra butter). This cornbread will change the way you feel about corn and bread and zucchini. Shout out to Kevin, our waiter, who served us well and played along with our humor. You were awesome. He deserves a free meal, maybe the meal we had ;) He (and a friend) recommended the Fried Chicken Burger with brussels. Is it too melodramatic to say the burger was life-altering? Well, it was. My point is, if you want your tastebuds to be happy, come to Corner and tell your friends about it because then they will love you more for opening their eyes to such a great restaurant. read more

Solid spot for a meal after a night of exploring downtown austin. Food is great. Had the burger and it was very juicy. Plenty of choices to eat inside. Would visit again read more

This place is legit- AMAZINGGGG service, first of all. Like seriously, the best service I think I've had in a longgg time. Plus, the atmosphere is gorgeous- huge comfy leather booths and modern lighting. Lots of space, open kitchen, huge bar. This is way more than a hotel restaurant. The flavors and options here are all so unique- Texas favorites with a twist. Even the cornbread is different- zucchini, jalapeño, corn- it's a delicious appetizer. The margaritas are superb- try the hibiscus jalapeño! And lastly, I had the shrimp and grits with tomato chow chow, which was soooo good, I wanted to lick the plate! read more

This bar/restaurant is located conveniently next to the JW Marriott and has great outdoor seating for sizable groups and outdoor bar seating as well. I stopped in during a conference at the JW Marriott for some Texas/local beer and the zucchini bread (recommended by other yelpers). The beer I ordered was delicious - it was a ginger and lemon brew from Houston. If I weren't leaving so soon, I would have loved to try a few other brews. The local brew menu also seems to change, just FYI because I was hoping to try the local sour beer. Honestly, I was pretty disappointed by the zucchini bread. It looked amazing (see photo), but it was pretty bland tasting and a bit greasy. I think it could have used a little more flavor and salt IMO, even with the side of butter. In other note, the serving size is huge for the bread, so you could easily share the bread with 3-4 people if you want to try it. The service was great and staff was very friendly. Prices are a bit pricier, but makes sense for it being connected to the JW Marriott. read more

This place has amazing food and outstanding service. Casey, the bartender who served us, was the best! He served up some awesome burgers, and makes a mean bloody Mary! They play some cool music too. We had a great time and will come back next time we are in town! And a shout out to Phil, the manager, for taking care of us as well! read more

Had a second lunch at Corner and enjoyed it as well. The cornbread appetizer was wonderful and the salmon was amazing. Ambiance is on point, especially for a business lunch. Service was good, but nothing stood out as a negative or memorable positive. read more

I'm not a happy camper this afternoon. Let me start from the beginning; I've eaten here before and I love the turkey Cobb salad. It's amazing , truly. I've been craving one for about a week, today I finally decided to walk down during lunch. I work about 3 blocks down Congress Ave, and I get lunch at a restaurant within walking distance of my office 3-4 days out of the week. Today I sat at the bar, and was handed a menu. Did I mention SXSW started this week? I looked at the salads and saw that 3 of their 4 salads that are on their regular lunch menu were there, but not the turkey Cobb. I inquired with the bartender and he said that it was a cut down lunch menu because of SXSW. He checked with the kitchen, and was told they could make with chicken instead of turkey, and no hard boiled egg because none were prepped (it takes 10 mins to boil an egg BTW). I declined and expressed my disappointment, opting for the burger on the SX menu instead. I can't remember what they called it, but it was just their old fashion burger: white cheddar, lettuce, tomato, caramelized onion, and mayo. I asked for it medium, no mayo and no bun. I also requested Brussels sprouts instead of fries. I've posted a pic of the tiny burger I got (price the other 50 weeks of the year $15, special SXSW price of $16). The patty was small, and unseasoned. For what they charge it wouldn't put you out of business to add salt and pepper at least. It was cooked just a hair over medium, but was still juicy so I didn't raise the issue. The onions had no flavor, and the one slice of tomato, that was under the patty was see thru it was so thin. Now I know why it was being hidden. The Brussels sprouts were terrific. They were roasted semi crispy, but still had a good flavor. Had onion and pieces of bacon. The cooking grease could have been drained better, but that's minor. I was charged $2 extra to sub, but that was expected and I was happy to pay. So in short I got basically the same $5 cheese burger I could have gotten at the Burger Bar (also located in the JW), but got to pay $16 for the privilege. If I had gotten the burger for regular price, even though it was a disappointment, my review would have been higher for service and the Cobb salad and sprouts. But as a local, I don't appreciate being gouged because there are a lot of tourists in town. So as sad as I am to say, no more turkey Cobb salads for me. I won't be returning on principle. Too many other great places to eat in walking distance. read more

Corner Restaurant - $18 burger and Pancetta Brussels Sprouts. Don't bother, pay $5 at the Burger Bar instead. - Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

My friends and I stopped here for drinks and a light bite to eat on a Saturday night. It's a pretty large space. We sat at the bar. The service was good. I ordered a Corner House Salad with adobo chicken. It was really good--loved the cheddar croutons. I also ordered the zucchini cornbread and it was delicious! Good drinks. They could add more craft beers to their menu. Overall--a good spot to try. read more

The 7 layer salad is my favorite here! Good food and service. Fun to sit on the patio with a group as well.

After traveling all day and having to listen to some drunk woman yammer the entire flight (pro tip: no one thinks it's funny when you're wasted, and no one cares about your drunken forays) we needed a bite to eat and a drink. Corner is conveniently located in the hotel. There are tons of places to sit and the ambiance is nice. We sat at the bar and watched tennis. The food was good. We ordered the chips and dip to start. Guam, salsa, and queso were all good. The chips were delicious. Our meals were okay. I had the fish tacos. They were tasty but nothing to write home about. Wife had the chicken sandwich and liked it, although there was a lot of bread. She said the fries were excellent. The staff were all nice and accommodating. Definitely a nice place to get a drink and chill after stressful flights. (Seriously, no one thinks you're cute or witty when you're plastered. That's a Hollywood-created thing). read more

Not at all impressed. Seating was too tight. Food was mediocre for the price. Server was nice though.

For most of our visits, I'd give Corner a solid 3 stars. The majority of the staff are nice and the food is ok. However, one off putting experience has made it difficult to return. Reading through some of the other reviewers, I was initially in disbelief--how could patrons be treated so rudely--and then of course by all strokes of luck, it happened to us. It was 10:45am on a Sunday when we wandered in looking for brunch. Because the doors were open and there were no signs or barriers, we assumed they were open for business. As we walked to the bar, we hear "HEY! We're not open till 11!" A bit surprised but also apologetic, we started to leave. Then he followed up with, "You need to order food. We can't just serve you drinks today." If he was being informative, I would've said thank you. Rather, he was shouting down at us and assumed we were only there to get drunk at 10:45am. Manfriend shrugged it off and convinced me to stay. What a mistake. We came back in at 11;05am and sat down. We had the pleasure of being served by the same bartender. Without a single greeting, he slaps the menus down in front of us and again says "I can't serve you drinks without food." (WE HEARD YOU THE FIRST TIME RUDE-FACE) In an attempt to be friendly to him, I asked whether he'd recommend the barbacoa or carnitas tacos. Again, he gets snappy "Up to you. One's beef. The other's pork." El-oh-el. Thanks, Sherlock. Anyway, we finished our food and drinks, and left. We do not intend to come back and I advise you to steer clear seeing as how I'm not the first to experience the rude service here. If you MUST dine here, I kindly recommend (unlike the bartender) the barbacoa tacos. Manfriend seems to like the chili. Avoid the seven layer salad. It's more like 7 layers of under-seasoned dressing. read more

This is the typical hotel restaurant. The food was not bad but in the great city of Austin,TX I would not eat here again unless I had to. Venture out and instead try one of the great food truck parks or even a local taco joint. Corner does the job of taking up space in the hotel but they really could have done better with the food. Side note: very overpriced as expected. read more

The restaurant was not even busy and the service was awful. We waited for 15 mins for a server at our table and finally just left.

This place has really very good ambiance; but nothing except that!! So disappointed with the food and its taste. I ordered fish tacos(which has yucky flavor of raw fish and it smells so bad. Please don't ever ever oder this dish. Another dish I tried is chicken sandwich; which wasn't good enough. The patty had lots of garlic and its too thick. Overall do not waste your money on the food here. read more

Appropriately named, this restaurant was located at the "corner"of 2nd street connected to the Marriott Hotel. I've walked pass the Corner multiple times going to different places around the area and was instantly drawn to their outdoor patio seating. There is a massive full bar in the center with lounge chairs/tables and heaters for the cold nights. For the price you're paying for these dishes, I'd say you could get better elsewhere. You're really paying for the hip, modern, and downtown vibe the restaurant exudes so well. But $14 for a plate of fish tacos? $16 for a chicken burger? Was anything bad? No. Did anything stand out? No. I wasn't all that hungry, so I ordered their side mac n cheese just so I wouldn't be left out while everyone else was chowing down. Again, not bad, but not memorable. Their cocktails did sound delicious, but I settled for a beer to keep my bill in a lower price margin. Our server was attentive and came out with our food and drinks in a timely manner, but I did have some problems with the hostess. I called in before walking the 10 minutes to the restaurant asking if they had a wait and was told there was currently zero wait time. Once we got to the restaurant, we were told that there were a lot of reservations booked that night and we would have to wait 25 minutes. In the grand scheme of things, that's a short wait time but I felt lied to and cheated. Not quite that dramatic, but you know what I mean. We ended up finding an empty table outside which was open seating so everything worked out! One day, when money is flowing in and I can eat a mediocre meal at really fancy looking places without caring about my wallet, I'll be able to enjoy restaurants like this more. Till then, 3 stars for a beautiful atmosphere and overpriced average plates. read more

Since I was staying at the Marriott adjacent to this restaurant I thought I'd give it a try. I was really in the mood for a burger, so I got their Old Fashion Hamburger. It did not disappoint. Seriously one of the best burgers I have ever had hands down. It came with a large portion of shoe string fries. Great option and the best part is my order was done in 10 mins. The staff are beyond amazing here. read more

In town for a conference and this is the hotel restaurant. The service was great but the food was horrible! From the appetizers to the entree, the only thing that was edible was the 3 dips and chips. The other appetizer, shishitos two ways, was too hot to eat. My guest and I ordered the redfish tacos and I asked if they were spicy and was told no. The first bite had us both in tears. The orange sauce they put on the tacos will knock you out! My guest asked for a replacement of a turkey club and it came back loaded with cheese and the bread soaked with butter. We won't be returning. read more

Loved this place when I stopped by for happy hour. The location here is on the corner (duh) of two streets in the skyscraper filled financial district. I like the open air design of this lounge restaurant and bar, and it's connected to the JW Marriott. Reading the reviews from Yelp, I couldn't wait to try the Jalapeño cornbread. But that item didn't really impress me. The tacos were better, and I tried the chicken wings that a neighbor at the bar ordered, and those were great. The staff here are fantastic - very friendly, attentive, and helpful. A good find if you're in the area. read more

Secured a reservation weeks in advance for a special occasion and was seated in the very loud bar area. Our server didn't check on us during the meal. Once we were finished, we waited an unreasonable amount of time for the server to walk by so we could request the check. read more
