Had a great time! I really enjoyed the bartender attention to detail. The food came within 5min and the chef personally came to serve me. Really a under rated place! read more

Yesterday, I stopped in for a bite during a quick road trip. They had this incredible item, Filthy Fries Buffalo Chicken. The ingredients are as followed: Hot buffalo house breaded Panko chicken, served on a bed of fries, topped with fried onions, melted cheese, bacon, and house garlic aioli. HOLY MOLY, this was INCREDIBLE. I subbed sweet potato fries for the regular fries then asked for an additional side of buffalo sauce because I like to turn up the heat. If I had the time, I'd go back for lunch tomorrow. WW! When you're passing through #Sacramento, get in there and order this item. read more

Bottomless mimosas ($18) are 11am-2pm and are pretty good. They don't pre-mix them so you can add as much OJ as you'd like. I just order a side of ham ($5.5) which is pretty great. Just a nice piece of protein. Also got a side of biscuits and gravy ($5.50 for 2). Bf got the club sandwich ($15) which is always good. Pretty standard club sandwich. read more

It had been awhile since we had breakfast here. It used to be our morning frequent places to eat. What happened? Oh maybe bc my wife has to watch her food intake. Service here however is excellent & we had seen our same waiter from years before. We noticed a nice renovation of the black booths & tables both bar height and the usual table height. I used the men's restroom & it's no longer wonky like before. A plus! I had the pancake combo & my pancakes were thick & massive. Too much to eat at one sitting. But it was a good thing! My wife had the Denver omelette, home fries & sour dough toast. She could only eat half! We were satisfied here! My wife noticed they even have a keto item on the menu & shrimp salad too. I'm confident we will return! read more

New fave brunch spot!! I really like the turkey supreme sandwich and the chicken fried steak with biscuits and gravy!! The chicken tenders are also great! They're panko battered so they're perfectly crispy. read more

They recently started having Saikou Matcha popups here on the weekend which it what I stopped by for! (Possible soon an everyday thing) One of their staff has 12 years of professional matcha making skills and you can definitely tell by the quality and flavor of the drink. Huge menu with lots of unique options! The space was pretty cute too, lots of seating and very chill for a Saturday morning. Would love to see how it transforms at night since it's also the Redlight lounge! The staff was super friendly and had very good vibes. Lots parking around the area even though there are markets nearby. read more

New fave breakfast spot in Sac. Memorial Day - Monday - and it seems that 100% of downtown residents are camped outside the chi-chi spots that had been recommended. So - YELP to the rescue. Called ahead and learned that their "slam" period had just ended, so we could get a table and breakfast without a long wait. Man, t'was worth driving around half of downtown to find this gem. Interestingly, I had just been to the Dumpling spot next door a week ago. Coffee and waters the minute we sat down. Hubs proclaimed that the coffee is the best he's had in Sac. Hubs had the Belgian waffle combo and ate every bite. I ordered the carnitas Benedict, and man what a wonderful combo. Shoutout to the home fries. Crispy and crunchy thin sliced potatoes done up on the grill. No pics this time around. We were really hungry and dove into our grub without 'gramming it. Stellar service. Yummy food. Neighborhood feel. WINNER! read more

Drove by this place many times and finally got the opportunity to try this place for breakfast. It was completely not what I expected in terms of decor. I thought it would be an old school diner vibe but it was modern with a bar, tvs and good music. They were playing 80's music videos and we enjoyed it. We ordered the chicken fried steak and biscuits and gravy combo and Bloody Marys. The food and drinks were really good and the food had good portions. While our waiter was nice, I minus one star for the service of the hostess. She had an rbf and wasn't super friendly. I don't like to feel like I'm bothering you when I want to be seated or ask for water. I would come back again though because we all had bad days! read more

No one greeted us and we had to seat ourselves. It took at least five minutes for the waitress to bring menus - note there were only two other customers in the restaurant, so being busy wasn't a reason. We ordered basic breakfast - eggs, bacon, toast. The food had no seasoning and was absolutely bland and tasteless. BTW, a cup of coffee and glass of iced tea cost almost as much as our two meals. No reason to go back. read more

The food was okay. I got the Belgian waffle combo and it tasted fine but unfortunately no extra thrills or anything to write home about. The service was really nice though! Really nice and caring staff. The ambience was interesting because this place doubles as a bar so on a cold and quiet Monday morning there's huge light fixtures and televisions for evening activities. A nice time but if I return I'll probably see if lunch or dinner is any better. read more

Wow, haven't been here in years and I probably won't be coming back here in years horrible service had to wait for one hour to be seated took another half hour for the waiter to acknowledge us and 35 minutes to finally get our food this place has really changed in a bad way to not recommend this place at all. You will be disappointed!! So sad nowadays it seems like everywhere. They are short on waiters and waitresses. It's really bad for business. I had to at least give them one star not by my choice read more

Solid spot for breakfast. I really like that they have a two egg breakfast option that does not include meat. We went on a Sunday around 10am and it was pretty close to full. Service friendly and lots of football games on the TVs. read more

Came to enjoy some small talk with a friend and enjoy a small shared brunch. Sat at bar and bartender/server was friendly and was not busy. Ordered corned beef and hash with sourdough toast, corned beef and hash was came out hot and toast was nice and buttered. Also ordered lettuce wrapped bacon cheeseburger with fries but didn't eat fries. Burger was cooked as ordered and freshly made. Ordered bottle of champagne and everything ordered was affordably priced. Great downtown location with plenty of parking on the street. Service is always great. read more

Why did I take 16 years to find this gem?! Great service and food at pre-Covid prices. Hamburger? $14. Want cheese? Still $14. Mushroom Swiss burger? Still $14. Toasted buns and what looks like a 1/2 burger. The music is always on point. Servers are very attentive and kind. One of my new favorite spots for lunch. Can't wait to try breakfast. read more

I've been going here for 20 years but they have fired most of the long term servers. I was there on 5/1/26 and i waited 20 min for a table even though they had an area that would seat 10 to 15 roped off and would not seat people there. It made no sense. It's poorly managed. I won't be back read more

Service was very good and attentive! We had breakfast that was the Cornerstone omelet and biscuit sausage and eggs with hollandaise. Both were very good. However, the potatoes were too much on the almost burnt side. They probably called it crispy potatoes. I will return thought. read more

What a wonderful surprise this place was. When we were there it was a pop-up salsa night! The music was really fun and people came from all over Northern California to dance. So very entertaining! The food was really good and so were the drinks. I highly recommend this cafe/bar. Look for salsa night, even if you don't dance, it was super fun to watch read more

I love it. Lonnie the waiter is so friendly. They keep the water and coffee flowing and the omelettes are super good. Fast. Simple. Sports playing on several TVs and one very big screen. But, at the heart, this is an excellent community breakfast diner. read more

We tried the Cornerstone Cafe & Bar (J Street) for lunch yesterday. This was our first experience eating there. It was lunch time but not busy ... maybe 8 other folks having lunch. My hunch is business picks up significantly in the evening. Nice, but low key, bar atmosphere. Service was very good. Our order consisted of their soup of the day and two salads. The soup was Beef Vegetable. A little short on beef but hardy and good ... house made. I also enjoyed my Shrimp Louie - Bed of fresh greens topped with bay shrimp, avocado, hard boiled egg, tomatoes, cucumber slices and paprika. Generous amount of tasty shrimp. The other salad was Tuna. It too included a bed of fresh greens with hardboiled egg, tomato and cucumber slices and topped with homemade tuna salad. Very reasonable prices. This was a good experience read more

You hate to see it. This place for decades has been a breakfast standard for the hometown crowd. A place to recommend to the newcomers. Then here comes new ownership to fuck everything up. Why would you take a place that YOU KNOW works and immediately fire staff we love and change shit. Wait times for food are already way longer. I heard dude is even planning menu changes which I'm sure amount to price increases. Current staff is all sad now. The new owner killed the vibe because he thinks he knows better than the old owners who navigated this place through a hundred downtimes and even grew it for a thousand years. The nerve. I was introduced to this place by my uncle who got it from my grandpa and I've, in the last few years, begun bringing my kids here but it looks like that might be over. If it is the end, thank you to the old owners and all the staff throughout the years. Yall kept this place comfortable and friendly and I'm really sick it's come to this. If you out there with a restaurant and need staff, hire somebody who says they came from cornerstone because they did it right for so long. read more

Visited cornerstone at 11:30a on a Sunday. Party of 6. Service was pretty quick, Calvin was our server. He was pretty nice. Food was mid/just okay. I ordered the biscuits and gravy combo and there was also a club sandwich. Biscuits did not contain any sausage in the gravy and was nothing to write home about. There was nothing spectacularly tasty about the gravy, nothing that would make it memorable. The "toasted" sandwich had cold meat, and when we asked if it could be warmed we were told the kitchen could not accommodate. The other plates were either just okay OR Not edible. Two plates were left picked over, no acknowledgement or inquiry as to why be the restaurant. It was because the omelettes were reviewed as "bland". Can't say I would return or recommend. read more

Food arrived hot, and I like hot food served hot! I asked for my eggs sunny side up and loose, and this is the first time they've been served to me the way I like them. Yes, FIRST time. (They're usually firm-to-crispy). The servings are generous, and with the prices charged at all restaurants, these days, it's nice to have a to-go box of leftovers for later. Our server, Valeri, was efficient, funny and delightful. That was the finishing touch to a great meal. Will definitely be back. read more

Biscuits and Gravy The gravy is creamy and delicious. Maybe could use a little more sausage bits, pork is inexpensive. Will return. read more

Lovely little cafe for brunch! We stopped in a few weeks back and enjoyed a nice "hangover brunch" on a Sunday. I always judge a cafe by the breakfast sandwich, and this one delivered. Light fluffy eggs, ham and I added a couple strips of bacon because why not!? Delicious & affordable. This place has the appearance of a no frills cafe, but then you discover the full bar! We enjoyed the outdoor seating area as a larger party and our server was very accommodating. We'll definitely be back! read more

Great little find. Beyond reasonable prices, huge portions, exceptional customer service. Menu items include breakfast items, burgers, sandwiches, salads. I had a patty melt with fries; the cooked to order burger smelled like a good steak (means good beef), $13. My friend had a club sandwich, huge with a side salad, $13. Fabulous thin fries, enough for two people. Breakfast served til 3pm. Last customers for lunch can order up until closing. This is a bar but the ambiance is more like a bar/diner. But not like a typical bar. Everyone who assisted us was super friendly. The food was served quickly and hot. I can't wait to go back. read more

We enjoyed our Sunday brunch there with a group of friends. They have a pretty big menu, but when someone mentioned they had Chicken & Waffles, that was all I needed to know. It is my go-to, and a must try if it's on the menu! The waffle was your standard buttermilk biscuit waffle mix, it was as topped with a few thick crispy bacons, and three chicken tenders. Now, the thing about the chicken is that it's extra crispy but the batter is more of a chicken katsu and not a southern fried chicken. The meat on the inside was tender. I believe the Avocado Jack Burger was great since she ate all of it with no complaints. HA! I believe the pitcher of mimosas served about 8-10 flutes. All who were drinking appeared to enjoy them. The servers were friendly and funny. The pricing was average. When you walk in there, it's like an old school diner/cafe but with a club vibe. Seriously, there's dance floor lights above, the bar to the left, and a couple backdrops for VIP pictures at night. Cool spot. Check it out if you're in the area. read more
