Started at the Polyanna and migrated to the Corner Stone after checking the online menu. Great choices - and fantastic specials on a Tuesday after work... So we were greeted by an empty room due to snowy conditions, and had Conrad as our server. Not only was this place a great value, the food was top notch as well. I will certainly return and check out some of the other menu items. We had a half price burger, and a pot roast sandwich. Wife said the pot roast sandwich rivals the one served at Prairie Bluff, which we found out might actually come from GFS as their pot roast (have to check that out) anyway this pot roast does not come from GFS, it comes from the chef on site - GREAT EXPERIENCE....and Conrad was awesome. Almost forgot, had a 'beer for tacos' draft, which was a gose and perfect with the food. read more

I recently moved to Lemont and thought it would be a great idea to try all the places downtown. Corner Stone Tavern so far has been my go-to place for a good dinner and drink. The owner has been there every time to greet me and all of the staff are just as friendly. Love this place! read more

Literally my favorite spot in Lemont. My Bf and I come here 2-3 times a month. My parents love coming here when they're in town. Nancy and Terry the owners are the cat's pajamas. Maureen is a doll, we love sitting at the bar and chatting with her when she's working. The food is awesome. Never had a bad meal here yet. I recommend the ribs, cauliflower app, and anything on the lunch special menu. read more

I live down the street and LOVE dining-in and take-out. The interior renovation is well thought out, but the creative, comfort-centric menu and phenomenal customer service is what will keep you coming back. Food tastes better when it feels as if it's served by a friend. Pot Roast Sandwich (and dinner) is a staple, as well as their CST burger. The dry rub ribs are a fantastic deal and my favorite for take out. If you like libations, this is the stop for you. They have cocktails, classic and modern. From an Old Fashion to a Boozy Milkshake, CST has you covered. read more

Best bar food in southwest suburbs , great service and great atmosphere. Neat to walk around historic Lemont

I've been to this place a few times and have always had a good experience. Food is above average and the drinks are great. Anolda and AJ behind the bar are super personable and Jessica, Rafa and Geri on the floor do a great job serving. As for some of the negative posts, I question their validity. Nice transformation from what this place used to be. read more

I visit the restaurant regularly and I really had to post this as a kudos to the management and server staff. I just witnessed a customer act ridiculously towards staff and embarrass themselves (you know who you are in the yellow dress). She claimed she was going to leave a 1 star review and she should be absolutely embarrassed for herself. This is a great place in Lemont and the manager, Blake, handled himself with professionalism. The food is great and the staff is always welcoming. Do yourself a favor and give it a try. read more

I always love checking out a new restaurant so I found myself dining at Corner Stone Tavern as soon as they opened up in Lemont! The space used to be a dive bar for years. I love what the new owners did by brightening up the space! My wife and I had some chips/salsa, the rib appetizer (must try), loaded potatoes and the hot chicken sandwich. It isn't easy to do items like these fresh and well but I have to say they nailed it! I love when places take pride in providing great fresh food! I also had a few beers while dining. They had something like five IPAs available which was amazing!!! Overall I had a great experience and I think Corner Stone will fit great in Lemont! Next time I go I will definitely be trying one of their boozy milkshakes. Maybe next week! read more

Super cute, small town spot. Great service, all food was homemade. Pot roast was amazing.

Good food and drinks! I had the meatloaf which is not something I normally would get on a night out but it was a good choice.

Best Lemont Bar ever. They love their first responders with great food, discounts and drinks

Fried green tomato and hot chicken sandwiches were really tasty. Fries were soggy by the time we got home (for takeout). We'll be back!

My husband and I stopped at this place for dinner. Wow, it was delicious. Haylie was our server and she was fantastic. Prompt to the table, kept our drinks full and the food was quick. Told us about the favorites, food made in house, just a great experience. We will be back! read more

Just had Hot Chicken sandwich and Fried cauliflower from Corner Stone Tavern. It was amazing!!! I highly recommend it... Lisa read more

First time here and everything was delicious! Had the fried pickles, chips and salsa and fried cauliflower--so good!!! For dinner, I had the hot chicken--so crispy and good flavor! Dessert was a chocolate peanut butter boozy shake--OMG--delicious! Like a Reese's in a cup. Everything was great--highly recommend! read more

The spicy chicken sandwich is the best I've had yet.. (and I have had a few) great friendly service. The patio was very nice! Love this place. read more

Went there on Sunday evening. beautiful bar area and all brand new tables, floor, chairs, etc. Tried the chili, avocado toast and hard boiled eggs. All were great! Took home the hot chicken sandwich and the prime rib burger. They also were also great and recommended! Service was spot on. read more

We went to the Corner Stone Tavern for the first time last night!! What an enjoyable place, we sat outside as the sun set and the cool night breeze was blowing. The menu was so interesting, of course I had to have the Pot Roast sandwich, which was delicious. One of our party had fish tacos and another one had a burger. Everything was good and I can't wait to go back and try other items on the menu. It is a very different menu but I believe you can find something for every palate. The atmosphere was friendly and we sat talking long after we were finished, We never felt rushed to leave. It was a great experience and a good time. read more

I've been to the restaurant twice in the last week, the food was excellent and as was the service. Appetizers and main courses are unbelievable for the price. Great atmosphere in a cute town. read more

Place is bullshit i ate there and got food poisoning i was in the hospital for 3 days

Average at best. Saw good reviews and went there. Cauliflower appetizer was good, but everything else was blah. Got the fish tacos and hot chicken entree. Mac and cheese was bland and green beans were steamed with no seasoning/flavor. Service was nice once they figured out a server, but it did take about 5 minutes before anyone came to the table. read more

Excellent food (pot roast & hamburger) Do want to point out the top notch service from Julian, "wow.".First time here since the change in ownership. Looking forward to our next visit. Understand that the chicken is great. Great job to the owners of this business. read more

We went there Friday had drinks and lunch at the bar the food wasn't great the soup had fat and grizzle in it I did tell the bar tender but he didn't care I also caught him switching my voka drink which I was drinking grey goose and switching it to Tito's . I don't think we will be going back read more

Horrible food. Service was not good. Overpriced for the quality. Heard about this place from others and a big disappointment. No care factor. read more

First timers!! The bar area walking in was beautiful. We sat at a high top in the back. Our server was friendly and fast. We ordered fried pickles and 2 entrees and both were excellent!! We had the Mac and cheese dinner and Hot chicken dinner. The Mac tasted great and lighter than other places not sitting so heavy. The Hot chicken was a crispy breaded flavorful breast. Comes with green bean sides and Mac and cheese. The green beans were a great surprise!! Fresh and flavorful. We left full to say the least!!! Can't wait to come back and try other items read more

When this first opened it was great....Portions have shrunk already. Had the cauliflower and the basket was half empty with 1 jalapeño. Disappointing....Service was OK...Wings are OK...I think I will skip the menu next time... read more

Great looking menu, good service. The fried pickles were spicy and perfectly breaded. However, the Hot Chicken Sandwich really did not have much kick at all. It was basically a crispy chicken sandwich with a little bit of coleslaw (not much kick either). It would have been better if it had the same flavor as the breading on the fried pickles. Additionally, while the french fries were very good (seasoned generously with pepper), the "Potato Cracklings" really had no flavor and were not worth the upcharge. The green beans with bacon side was really good. Overall, they did a great job building out the space, there is a nice patio, and the menu is interesting. read more

Corner Store Tavern has great food, atmosphere and most importantly outstanding service. The owners, Nancy and Terry have transformed the restaurant into a vibrant fun restaurant in Lemont. The spicy cauliflower and jalapeño appetizers are to die for!!! Blackened fish tacos have have the right amount of heat and were delicious. You MUST try the boozy milkshakes theyreare incredible. A place you definitely want to check out!!! read more

Good food and really great service. I would highly recommend their fried cauliflower bites and hot chicken sandwich if you like spice, they are both so good. Loaded cracklins are my family's favorite for an appetizer. The CST steak sandwich is good, but the steak is pretty chewy. I would order more boozy milkshakes if they weren't $12! read more

Corner Stone Tavern was everything I could have asked for during COVID. Clean, quick service, good food and drinks. There is ample seating and everything is spaced apart in compliance with social distancing policies. The staff worked hard and the owner could not have been more accommodating. 5/5 would recommend and will be back very soon. Great everything!!! read more

First time ordering - trying to support our local restaurants right now! Read on FB that this place was good - absolutely right! Awesome food - can't wait till we can actually go in and eat when this crazy virus is over! Support this restaurant Lemont needs them to stay!!! read more

As a new resident of Lemont, a co-worker recommended this place for my family to check out. I decided to take a chance on it last week with my wife and 4yo, and I am so glad I did!! I've been a server for a good part of my younger years and I could tell the moment I walked in that this place is very well-run. Welcoming servers and the dining area was extremely clean and well-kept. I was super impressed with their beer list and drink menu, too bad I had to drive home. I decided to give the hot chicken sandwich a shot and I was blown away. My wife can be a stickler with restaurants and she hasn't stopped talking about the fish tacos since. actually claimed they were the best she has ever had, and that's saying a lot coming from her!!! Very impressed. Amazing food, a welcoming and happy atmosphere. You can count on the Lemont newbies being your regulars read more

Fish Tacos !!! Came opening day and have been coming back ever since. The owners Nancy and Terry are such great people. Highly recommend having some Fish Tacos out on there patio during the summer! read more

This has become THE new favorite, the one and only place I want to go on a night out!! Here's the deal. The first night we went out was in December, right before Christmas. The place was unpredictably busy for a Sunday, but the staff killed it. Nancy, one of the owners, ran her @$$ off making sure tables were waited on, people had food and drinks, and were having a good time. Her incredible staff picked up extra tables, others came in to help, and the whole restaurant stepped up. Aye Jay, the lead bartender, exceeded expectations with drink orders. I'm an Old Fashioned girl, and it's perfect here. Premium cherries all the way. We had several cocktails, the ridiculous fried cauliflower, which has become a staple for every visit, and we had the pretzels. Should have consumed more, but looked for a couple of drinks and delicious apps. The service, environment, food, and drinks made us crave more. We had to come back immediately. HAD to have the chicken sandwich this time. (And the cauliflower, of course). OMG that chicken sandwich. I'm drooling thinking about it. I can't even describe how good this thing is. We also had fantastic Aye Jay, Nancy, and her husband Terry to rock out our visit. Smoked Old Fashioneds again, my original Woodford Old Fashioned, and incredible food. This isn't "bar food". I cook basically every night, and this is one of few places I trust to let cook for me. I would go here nightly if I could. Have been here several times since, LOVED EVERY VISIT, and was treated to a surprise date night last night. Bar was full (we need names on our seats by now), but we were able to sneak back over immediately after getting in. Julian and Nancy took care of us right away. The service and hospitality here is like NO other place I've ever been in my life. They're like family. I feel welcomed the moment I walk in, I know I'm having amazing drinks and food, and I know it's guaranteed to be a great time. The ambiance at Corner Stone is untouchable. Certainly upscale. Good luck finding a place like this. Had the cauliflower, chicken sandwich, and Old Fashioneds and Bourbon again. That chicken sandwich. Literally...the.best.thing.ever. I've had the CTS burger, which is insane, but wtf do you guys do you to make all of your food??? EPIC. I need more. Stat. Bringing more friends in weekly and continuing to spread the word to anyone I know. You guys are a hidden gem. Lemont, you've lucked out getting these amazing people into your town to open an incredible place like Corner Stone Tavern. Be grateful. For anyone posting less than 5 stars and expecting to get a free meal for any reason, good luck. There isn't ONE thing to complain about. Maybe YOU are the problem because it sure as hell isn't them. They dominate. Slammed or on a calm night. If you don't understand what it's like to be busy at a restaurant, get a job working in one for a bit. It's hard as hell!!! And give them credit for being busy BC they're badasses and do one hell of a job. I can't wait to go back. I know exactly what I'm getting every time, and I love and appreciate every second of it. Thanks to Nancy and Terry for killing it in the industry. ROCKSTARS. LOVE CORNER STONE TAVERN!!! Save me some seats at the bar or table 40, baby!! read more

Really fun bar and oh man those CST Ribs!!! Do not pass them up. Had a great evening at CST. Local vibe with the Owner's walking around making you feel welcomed. Had some very nice bourbon barrel aged seasonal on tap. Can't wait to return. read more

Unreal food and drink options for everyone with great customer service across the board. They also run amazing daily specials and happy hours! The apps are my personal favorite. Will definitely be back to support this local business. read more

I've come here twice to eat and was disappointed both times. The first time I ordered wings and all I could taste was the gross amount of sauce on the wings and the meat was all fat. Like completely inedible. It was just like chewing on fat. We ordered two orders of 20 and 2 were eaten. The next time I dined I'm with my mom and we ordered burgers as it was their special. The meat is so bland like no taste in the meat all I got flavor from was my toppings. Add some salt, pepper, seasonings please! Anything would help! A burger is a simple bar staple. Just add some flavor and it would be great! read more

Can't rave enough about this place ! The place has such a great fresh new family friendly bar atmosphere with a phenomenal new menu. Even vegetarians can find something unique and fun to try. Loved what we tried first time... cauliflower bites, ribs and avacado toast. All amazing ! Great staff and very friendly welcoming ! Will be back for seconds! read more

I stopped for lunch on Tuesday several times for their lunch specials. This place is on line and the server gal has been the best. Chicago's Best. I give this a 4 for great lunch specials and a 5 for the one server who adds to the lunch experience. Thanks Cornerstone for putting a smile on my face. read more

Just had a delicious lunch here with a group of girlfriends. We all thoroughly enjoyed our food and drinks. Fried cauliflower appetizer was delicious (enjoyed by all), and my fried green tomato sandwich with green beans and bacon side was scrumptious. They have an excellent lunch special menu for $6, and daily drink specials. Service was excellent and attentive. Would highly recommend and look forward to future visits. read more
