This is such a fun concept. Part sports bar, part games room, part axe throwing place. There is a lot going on and somehow it all works. The food is not the main attraction here, but we thought it was surprisingly pretty good. The burger was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The garlic green beans were delicious, but the portion size was comical. There were seven tiny green beans on the plate. We did order a second round to get our fill of veggies. They have a "gamemaster" who helps you select from the hundreds of games they have available. You can reserve a game table online in advance for $3 per person and that reserves you two hours of game play time. The restrooms are a little nightmarish. Literally in a dark, damp basement. Other than that, really enjoyed our evening here. read more

I got the cauliflower pita and the pita was horribly burnt. I'm shocked it was sent out. There was a very small portion of cauliflower too. It was $19 ffs. I was comped but it took out waitress at the bar forever to come back and see there was an issue. Everything is ridiculously expensive here. $12 for a side of fries! read more

I recently stopped by The Corner Grill, Bar + Game Room with a coworker who was celebrating his mom's birthday, and let me just say -- the energy in that place is a whole vibe. From the moment we walked in, you could feel it. Great music, lively crowd, and just an overall fun atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. The food coming out of the kitchen looked amazing -- everything was plated beautifully and smelled even better. Even just watching dishes hit the tables around us had me planning what I'm ordering next time. What's cool is I'm actually in the area pretty often on Sundays because I go to a laundromat nearby, and it always looks like they're hosting a really solid brunch crowd. After seeing the vibe firsthand, I can definitely see that being a go-to brunch spot. They also keep things exciting throughout the week. Every Thursday at 7 PM, they host trivia with Jonathan from Quizzo -- six rounds covering different topics with chances to win prizes like gift cards. That's the kind of midweek plan that turns a regular Thursday into something to look forward to. And if that's not enough, axe throwing is part of the experience too, in partnership with Detroit Axe Ferndale. Axe throwing has seriously become one of the most fun social activities out right now, and having expert Axe Masters guide you through it makes it even better. There's nothing like that satisfying thunk when the axe hits the target. Between the food, the drinks, the games, and the overall energy, The Corner Grill is more than just a bar and grill -- it's an experience. Definitely a spot I'll be back to. read more

I was there for a small party on the second floor. This space excels in ambiance and overall the second floor makes for a nice event area. We didn't do the ax throwing or darts but I added photos to show what that looks like. Our bartender was friendly and the serving of food didn't take too long. I'd probably give more of a 4.5 rating if i could but im just docking a star because some of the food wasn't that great. The fries and pretzal were delicious but my tomato soup with grilled cheese was underwhelming the soup was more like marinara. The Detroit style pizza was tiny for the cost. read more

We stopped by The Corner and had a great time! We had reservations, but it actually wasn't very busy when we arrived. The highlight for us was definitely bingo! It was a blast and added such a fun vibe to the morning, especially for my kids. My daughter absolutely loved the Dutch baby; light, fluffy, and delicious. I tried the avocado toast, which was interesting because it had honey mixed in it; it was a little sweeter than I expected, but still tasty in its own way. Overall, it was a fun, laid-back spot for brunch, and we'd come back, especially for bingo! read more

This relatively newer addition to Ferndale is an incredible gathering place for the start, end, or entirety of a fun night out! The ambiance throughout The Corner is so fun! Giant Monopoly pieces hang suspended above everyone, which is so incredibly unique! The Corner also boasts super unique types of pizza (pickle pizza, anyone?!) and other delicious items on their menu! Their spicy fries, which we ordered for the table, come with hot funyan dust on them!! Everything we ate here was delicious. The perfect slices of Detroit-style pizza and hilarious and tasty appetizers to boot! But the biggest attraction, to me and I'm sure many others, is the floor to ceiling entire wall at the back of the restaurant that is just chock filled with board games, card games, and just generally games of all sorts! Waiting for your food is officially a thing of the past! You have unending amounts of entertainment in playing any and all games you find interesting from the Wall! Of! Games! Highly recommend you make a reservation for your table, big or small! It'll cost a bit of money to reserve a table, but that way you are guaranteed for 2 hours to be able to sit at the table and both eat and play games! I believe the money goes into footing your bill as well, so no money lost here! Did I also mention that the Corner Bar also has a whole axe throwing area of the restaurant as well???? We didn't take advantage of that this time around, but I came with a big group of 8+ people and we played Hues and Cues before, during, and after our food came, and it was so fun! They also have all the most nostalgic types of dessert as well. My friend was able to order literally a bowl of cereal for dessert from what felt like an unending list of childhood cereals as well. (He went with Cap'n Crunch and whole milk, because there were also literally all the milk and milk alternative options for you too!) THE CORNER BAR IS SO FUN! read more

The corner takes games to a whole new level. They have axe throwing, board games, trivia, and even Thursday karaoke. There is every board game known to demand and even the opportunity to purchase the ones that you fall in love with. The food is just pretty much new American and I have to say my favorite thing is just their fries. Everything else just is up to par, but nothing extraordinary. The staff at the corner are super friendly and make the ambience just a little bit better every time I come in. If you're looking for an activity and maybe some quick drinks or a bite to eat, I would super recommend the corner. read more

Come for the darts (or the axe throwing) and stay for the food! I've been here twice in the past couple of weeks; once with co-workers and once with my family. Both times, we have reserved the dart board. With my co-workers, we reserved both "lanes" and with my family, just one. One works well for up to six players, and both works for up to 12. If you have both lanes, you can play two games at once. With my co-workers, we started out playing a game called conqueror, but switched to X01 after the first game, because it's easier. The dart board is computerized, so it keeps score, and provides commentary with memes and funny comments. The food and the drinks are amazingly good! Between both times, people in my party had pizza (the stinger), chicken sandwich, burger, pretzel, cabbage salad, sliders, and spicy French fries. Every single person commented on how good their food was. I mean top notch! And the drinks are well made -- concoctions you wouldn't sneeze at if you were at a craft cocktail bar. We didn't partake, but we noticed that downstairs in the restaurant area, there were dozens (maybe 100s) of board games one could play while eating. So. Much. Fun. I will be back here again for sure! Top notch food, top notch experience. read more

This place is a good time to hang out with friends. The food is good and you can select games to play at your table. We went on a pretty crowded day, but the service was still great. We got to enjoy each other's company and play games that we didn't have any experience with. Take a chance and try a game you haven't heard of to socialize. It was a great time and I'd do it again. read more

We visited The Corner for a Friday night out with our toddler, and it was such a great experience! Our server Bisha (spelling may vary) was fantastic -- friendly, welcoming, and very attentive. She made sure we had everything we needed and made us feel right at home. We arrived a little before 5 p.m. to beat the crowd, but by the time we left, the place was buzzing with energy. Special shoutout to Chris, the Game Sommelier, who helped us pick a fun, classic game -- Trouble -- to enjoy with our daughter. They have an amazing selection of games for all ages and group sizes. Total nostalgia trip! Food highlights: Spicy Fries Vegetarian Mushroom Burger The Corner's Chicken Sandwich Mac & Cheese for Noa Everything was delicious, and we especially enjoyed the cider and IPA beers. Upstairs, they offer darts and axe throwing for an additional charge -- perfect for date nights or larger groups looking for a bit of competition. What we loved: Large selection of games Spacious layout Great food and drinks Outdoor seating Stroller-friendly space Friendly staff who were accommodating with kids Noa's rating: 4/5 She loved the games and her mac & cheese -- though she thinks it could've used a little more seasoning! Things to note: No dedicated kids' menu, but they were flexible and made half portions for us No changing table in the men's restroom (there is one in the women's) Overall, The Corner is a perfect mix of family fun and grown-up enjoyment. We'll definitely be back! read more

This was such a fun spot! My husband and I were in Detroit from out of town for the weekend and needed something to do. We decided to come here and play games. There's a huge game wall with so many choices. We didn't get any food here, but my husband got a cotton candy beer that he loved. They also had bowls of cereal on the menu which is unique! Highly recommend checking this place out. read more

Went for Sunday Bingo and brunch. Bingo was free to play and so much fun and some good prizes! Laid back games with TVs that show the game designs to win. Everything on the brunch menu looked good but we tried the breakfast pizza and the Corner breakfast. Both were pretty big portions and tasty! They also had a giant wall with any game you'd like to play and someone available to help you with what or how to play. Will be bringing back people again. read more

Went for a girls night to catch up with some friends, it was about five of us. With the reservation, there was no wait although the restaurant was busy. The service was adequate. Drinks were good. Food was good although the menu wasn't that extensive but still good. The downside was the bathrooms. They are located in the basement of the establishment, and the floors were wet and dirty. Wet as in someone just mopped with a very wet mop however, you can still see the dirt mixed in with the wet it didn't smell like urine. The bathroom didn't smell at all however, the floors were ridiculously wet concerning wet. Like it may have mold down there. We were there from 6:30 until 10:30 using the bathroom at 7 and 9 and same wetness both times. read more

Came on a Sunday afternoon and was promptly seated at a booth in the bar. The vibe is really cool, a wall of board games to choose from free of charge to play during your visit. We ordered the brisket sliders, a bag of fries, a half Asian salad, and a vegan sweet potato chili. EVERYTHING except the chili was amazing. And the server comped the chili when she noticed we only had a couple bites and didn't want to take it home. My husband wants to come back to try the Mac and cheese. read more

I've come with a group of friends a few times for birthdays, bachelorette parties, and just for a fun night out and they do not disappoint! The bar food is creative and there's a good variety of food on the menu. This last time we went we went axe throwing. The service was speedy and instructor was informative and really fun to hang out with. I got the spicy fries, which I'm OBSESSED with, and the cashew kale salad, which was so good I tried to recreate it at home. Whether gaming or throwing, I'd come with a reservation as this place gets packed. read more

Loved the atmosphere, great drink selection, service was good. But the food was very bland. We have the mac & cheese with crispy chicken. Both lacked flavor. This is far from the quality a few years ago. Would recommend for social evening with drinks, but not for a dinner recommendation. read more

The Corner is ideal for a fun night out with a partner or friends. Not only do they have an assortment of food and drinks, but they also have the biggest collection of games I've ever seen. Like literally a whole floor to ceiling wall of them! On top of all of the games, they also offer trivia and karaoke nights on select days. The ambiance at The Corner is warm and inviting -- perfect for socializing! When the weather is nice, their outdoor patio is open, which expands the space even more. My favorite food items here are the cookie skillet with ice cream, the faygo floats, and the bag of fries. Last but not least, the service at The Corner is consistently good. The servers are always friendly and attentive, and every visit here has been lots of fun. read more

I can't rave about this restaurant enough. This was our first time coming back since COVID and somehow this place got even better??? Our food was incredible. They had creative spins on regular food, such as funyun dust sprinkled over spicy fries and a grilled cauliflower steak wrapped in a pita pocket. The drinks were strong and delicious as always. There were SO many things I need to try next on the menu, like the pickle + alfredo pizza. We went on a Friday night a couple weeks ago and the service was excellent. Our waitress was so friendly and attentive. She went out of her way to get us an excellent seat in the outside area. I feel horrible I can't remember her name, but to the manager--the woman with the thread hair braids is one of your best! We finished off with a brownie and ice cream dessert that was too massive to finish for two. We were in too much of a food coma to get around to playing a board game, but we'll be back for sure. An absolute gem of Ferndale, get down here ASAP! read more

Games and food always go well together. Robbie is waiting on us tonight. He's nice enough. He said they are short staffed and the managers are in the back kitchen. Our first plate was dirty. We set it aside. I gave up trying to get a new plate after trying to get our waiter's attention twice. Ordered the Planavon salad, cashew and kale salad, spicy fries and the corner's chicken sandwich. The corner's chicken sandwich isn't bad. The breading is maybe a bit heavy as it fell off my half of my sandwich after a bite. The baguette roll is okay, the sandwich is Dagwood sized. I had to take the top and bottom breading off to even eat it at all. The spicy Funyun fries are yummy. The Funyun dust is somewhere on the fries, or maybe they are the flamin hot Funyun dust? The sriracha aioli makes all foods better. The cashew and kale salad isn't bad, not the better of the salads for me. The Planavon salad is good, mostly because of the goat cheese, of course. I do like the mint in the salad. read more

Absolute smallest $12 pizza imaginable. The pie was basic and nothing special. Left feeling very ripped off. Wouldn't return or recommend.

On Thursday, we trivia! The first time I went here I did not know that Thursdays were trivia day however they were able to accommodate walk ins! (If you are going on a Thursday, make reservations if you want a table). This is a rather large space with a really fun environment. They don't charge a library fee for the games which is great but I do notice the menu prices are a little pricy which may account for that. In the front is a board game area and in the back is ace throwing! Definitely a fun little place to explore. For food, the dill pickle pizza was the showstopper and really surprised me. It had the right amount of gooey cheese and pickle flavor! The salad had a rather large portion. Finally the brisket sliders were delicious, I just wish they had a little more sauce on it. Overall, a great place! read more

I went there for my monthly girls get together. We played a card game that asked different questions that really kept the conversation going. I asked for a virgin fruity drink and the bartender did not disappoint. The pretzel with mustard and nacho cheese was amazing. The Mac n cheese brisket was a little peppery and the brisket a tad bit dry but it was still good. That's the only thing keeping me from giving 5 stars. We had a great time and there was a fun atmosphere. read more

Fun vibe and definitely a nice hangout spot with friends. Tons of board game options and decent size menu. I had the kale salad and spicy fries. Food was a bit pricey but the portion was big. I'd say the kale salad was worth it and the fries were just okay. Food took quite some time to get here and the waitress pretty much disappeared the entire time when we were there. No water or drinks refilled. Do think the service could be a lot better and attentive. But I feel like most people are there to play board games with their group of people so the servers probably didn't want to intrude? But I mean, we were here for over an hour with no water refills... since the waitress didn't check in on us we had to flag our waitress down for our bill, waited for our receipts, waited to leave. It was a long waiting game lol. Anyways. I'd be down to try this place out again. Just have to make sure you're not in a rush to leave or anything because the service is quite slow. In their defense though, this place was packed so they could be low on staff... but I did read other reviews regarding the slow services when they're not super busy... Was an overall interesting experience and atmosphere. Nice to see a fun place with great food in Ferndale. read more

We've come here twice now and really enjoyed it! We came in February on a Sunday by chance and learned there is bango (music bingo) from 6-9pm which is super fun. They do 3 games or so I think and you can win $10-20 gift cards to the corner bar that you can use on that tab or a future one. The second time we came I was the first person to win! I general, they have pretty good food and I recommend the pretzel and cereal. The pizza is solid too. Their drinks are good and they have a full bar. LOTS of fun games in good condition that are free to use. The table reservations are 2 hours but both times they let us stay 3 hours until closing. We will return soon and do a Sunday probably like 5pm onward so you can eat and play before they start the bango games which can be a little tougher to do both and multitask haha Also, there is a parking lot behind the building and street parking in front. Location is central and nice. read more

I was here once before just for drinks and games and it was great. I came back last night and had a drastically different experience. The place was busy and there was seemingly only one server working. Not only was this server practically sprinting around trying to serve the entire restaurant, they were also bartending, which made consistent service basically impossible. Also, the burger I ordered came out literally burnt to a crisp. It looked and tasted like it had fully caught on fire & burned for a minute. I didn't say anything because I was so hungry I couldn't wait for it to be fixed but for a $17 burger that didn't even come with a side......? That shouldn't have made it out of the kitchen in the first place. read more
