Get the 48 hour fries!!! My husband and I have eaten here at least 5 times now. I can't believe we didn't have the fries before our 4th visit. We will definitely get them every time now!!! Love the many gluten free options on the menu (including the fries!). We are obsessed with the tuna tartare tostadas, Korean bbq chicken, and now the short rib! Local place owned by very nice local people. Bathroom has always been in good shape. Drinks have all been delicious-my husband likes the tangerine gimlet. read more

How is there not a line out of this restaurant's door? The 48 hour fries, tacos (hubby gets short rib, I get mashed potato), and salads are all delicious. read more

My guy and I were at an amazing wine pairing lunch at Somm's Kitchen in Paso and when one of the other patrons found out we lived in OC, they asked if we'd ever been to The Corner. These 'foodies' told us that they come here EVERY single time they visit OC, and we didn't even know about it! The food is excellent with a diverse menu- tho only problem is that I wanted one of everything! My friend got the seared ahi over veggies and I'm totally getting that next time. I loved the lettuce cups, the burger was fab and I can't wait to come back to try more. Leave it to fellow foodies to scoop us on a place that's 10 minutes from our house! read more

AMAZING food, service and great ambiance. The fries are the best we've ever had! Very creative and tasty choices throughout the menu! The drinks are delicious too! read more

Awesome service by Patrick. We celebrated a birthday with 18 of us. Delicious food and awesome service. Thank you Patrick read more

The food was good but I thought pretty expensive for the amount of food. It was fresh and some interesting items.

So, I went here because I heard they had good burgers, I thought it would be a regular bar kind of place. I was wowed, the interior of the place is really cool. I was impressed by the liquor line up and the upscale drinks. Turned out they were amazing. Drinks totally on point! On to the food. I have a lot of experience in culinary and I'm quite picky. Came for the burger however even though there's an impressive menu. We had the burger and 48 hr fries. Both were perfect, the burger a perfect blending of ingredients to make a taste explosion without being overwhelming. The fries a perfect mix of crispy and salty perfection. Homemade ketchup very good. Then on to dessert, we got the lemon crème brûlée. Ok folks I am the biggest crème brûlée snob. It was perfect, the texture perfect the crack of the sugar perfect, topped with a fresh whipped cream . The lemon just the perfect essence of it. I've got to say, I've really been missing out on this place which is literally on the corner so close to us. I will definitely be back to try everything on the menu. Drink menu too. The price was quite reasonable for the quality of food and drinks. Do not miss out on this gem. read more

I have been coming to The Corner for years and love everything about it. We are so lucky to have Chris's wonderful touch and ever changing menu (and craft cocktails) here at the corner of Magnolia and Adams. When you're here, don't forget to look up read more

I met my birth Dad and half sister! I know this seems unrelated but it's not. They flew into SNA on the last flight of the evening and were starved. I wanted to impress them but also be close to home but nothing was open! Dang sleepy town of HB. But The Corner was so we got there and ordered some drinks and food. Quotes of the night: "Fancy" - my birth dad. "I want to go to the beach tomorrow" - my half sister "This is walking distance from my house!" - me Food was delicious. Server was charming. And I impressed my (other) dad. read more

Some of the best food. Great burgers , fantastic fries, the gnocchi is some of the best I have had. I rarely go in so I could not tell you about the service or ambience. read more

Best food in a nice calm atmosphere. My friend who I don't get to see often met me there and we were able to have great conversation with great food at a decent price! The service was excellent- our food came it quick and fresh at the right temperature. We will definitely go there again. read more

Always great cocktails! The old fashioned is always the go to for my wife and I. Chris is always cranking out a fantastic seasonal menu. Amazing flavor and mouth watering goodness is always flowing out of the kitchen. The short rib is delicious, everything tacos (not on menu) are perfect, the backyard burger is savory, and the halibut (when on the menu) is fantastic. You can't go wrong with the deviled eggs (get a side of Sriracha to go with) as an appetizer or the 48 hour fries. Truthfully, it's all good. Great spot, we go a couple times a month. read more

This has been my favorite spot for the last 6 years. Amazing food and drinks. The ambiance should not be judged before trying the menu. Chris always outdoes himself seasonally. read more

Fantastic in every way! So many choices and all clearly labeled with ingredients used and if it's Veg, GF, vegan etc. loved everything we tried. French fries, stuffed dates and short rib entree! read more

Decided to try a quick meal here before the basketball game. The ambiance was kind of boring, but as long as the food is good it's ok. We ordered the $16 bowl of chowder to share and the pulled pork tacos. A huge bowl arrived with barely any soup or fish in it. Literally just enough to coat the bottom of the bowl. potatoes were hard. Such a disappointment at that price. Tacos were ok, but not something I'd order again. Service was ok, but sorta robotic. I wanted to love this place because it's close to our new home. read more

only writing a review because of the current 3.9 stars when they absolutely deserve at least a 4.5. we came here one night when we had to wait for sushi at the spot in the lot and now crave this place regularly. I think we've tried most if not all the appetizers including the 48 hour fries, chips and dip, deviled eggs, tuna tartare, tostadas, and bacon wrap dates. The dates while a common place that many restaurants are so good here for really what stands out is the deviled eggs with the crab. When it comes to entrées, we order the halibut every time, the celeriac purée is so good it will have you licking the plate. Desserts and drinks are also incredible here just truly can't go wrong read more

Jake is the best. Love this spot. Great vibe, great drinks, great food and prices are reasonable for the value of the food. Everything is very tasty you could pick anything on the menu.. however I recommend the braised short rib - either the tacos or the braised short rib meal with mashed potato's. Love the bacon wrapped stuffed dates- I introduced my two friends to them they had never had them before and needless to say we needed to order more ;) Huge fan of the gnocchi Mac and cheese as well.. didn't try it yet but overheard this woman raving about her harvest salad and the butternut squash- grab it while you can it may be a seasonal item. My friend got the steak and it was perfect literally, his girlfriend said it was hands down one of the best steaks she has ever had. We also got the bolognese to share and it was so good. It was super refreshing to be served by Jake, a server who can keep up and knows what's going on and is one step ahead of you, knows the menu and his regulars as well as how to create a drink when you're indecisive.. few servers I trust with drink suggestions but he knows his stuff.. made a yummy New York whiskey sour. Yum! Finished off the meal with two buttercream cakes to share and they come with thriftys ice cream on top, yes please. See ya again soon. Hopefully you stay open! read more

What a fun little local spot in Huntington Beach. I loved it because it was away from all of the chaos and madness of downtown, especially during Covid times. This place was definitely busy on a Friday night as any good place would be. They have a decent amount of outdoor seating, and can accommodate even large parties. They are offering indoor seating as well and have a bar area. This is what I tried: Tuna tartare Old fashioned Spicy watermelon margarita Short rib taco Tangerine gimlet Anti oxidant intoxicant My favorite item was the spicy market watermelon margarita. It had such a beautiful blend of flavors, including a Spicy salty taste of Tahin followed by a refreshing watermelon aroma. The short rib tacos were fantastic, great for and hearty flavors with a crunchy shell. I do not recommend the tuna tartare as it did not taste fresh. I'm looking forward to coming back here to try it love the cocktails. read more

Not sure where to start. The exterior decor is very modern and chic; however, interior is bland. I'm unsure if this is supposed to be a high end or casual restaurant. Their menu is very simple-not much option. Ordered the burger, cheese board, and BBQ chicken. Burger is my favorite. Why the two stars - well for one the cheeseboard - the cheese was stale and old, the corner of the cheese were hard and brittle. Honestly, it sneed everyone on the board came from trader joes or Costco-nothing significant-maybe that's why the price is so reasonable. Two, it took forever for the food to arrive. Our beer came out 20 minutes before the cheeseboard arrived. Worst, they forgot our utensils. But the finale was the BBQ chicken, we waited so long, we even asked to cancel the order; of course, within minutes, they came out with it and said "worry kitchen was done with it". Upon using the lettuce to wrap the chicken, we found dirt (a lot of it) on all of our lettuces; they didn't even wash it. At this point, we lost our appetite. The service was horrible, we had to get up to hustle someone to come over. Not sure if it's because we were sitting outdoor, rather than inside. read more

This is, hands down, my favorite restaurant in Huntington Beach. Each and every time I visit I am astonished by the quality of the food on the menu. The service is quick and attentive, and while often well-attended, it never feels overcrowded or hectic. This is a hidden gem in a busy city rife with good places to eat. Make The Corner a priority! read more

Finally made it here and at first, we thought it was closed, the parking lot was empty. This was around 2 o'clock on a Saturday, so perhaps we missed the lunch crowd. While we really enjoyed the food and the service, it would be nice if they could make the main dining room and bathroom more pleasant. I felt like we were in a garage. Next time, we will go and sit in the bar. read more

Great local spot with fresh and delicious food. There's an ample small plates selection along with a nice choice of mains. The 48 hr fries are perfect and everything tasted great. The deviled eggs were a tad salty. I loved the tangerine gimlet! The service was very good read more

The best local HB restaurant! Food is fresh creative and delicious drinks are great too!

This place confused me. Food was outstanding and unique. Everything else was lacking. Slow service. Really bland boring ambiance. Not inviting. Loud. Dirty bathrooms. Come for the yummy food but sit outside to avoid the noise and lack of atmosphere. And definitely don't be in a hurry! read more

Patrick was the best server, we had a big group, and he did a great job! Food was good.

We really love the unique menu and the cozy and fry atmosphere at "The Corner"! We are crazy for their Potato Tacos and their 48 Hour Fry's are to die for! Our Waiter/Bar Tender was delightful and we will be going back soon when we are back in Huntington Beach!! read more

Customer service: Server Chad very knowledgeable with the entrees and signature dish. Attentive and helpful. Prices: $$$ Quality of food: Would recommend trying a few items. 1. Bacon wrap delicious 2. Brussel sprouts compliments our entree dish 3. Red wine braised rib (very tender) 4. Seared Ahi ( alittle spicy so ask for less spice) Presentation: Portion size: it's pricey for amount Ambiance: Low light and not too loud Bar style / lounge Bartender: Curtis very knowledgeable with drinks and blends it well. Overall, I would recommend trying this place out and will return for the service & food quality. It wasn't crowded and food came out warm and faster than normal wait. read more

The Corner - Aviation drink, seared ahi, Brussel sprout, bacon wrap, braised rib - New American Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

We always dig the Corner. Great happy hour. Delicious food and really friendly servers. We had a bunch of appetizers and some main courses that were simply delicious. The 48 hour fries are a must. We also had the deviled eggs and braised short rib tacos. Everything was really good, especially my braised short ribs. The only thing that I think could be better is the ambiance. The front area is just sad and it just doesn't have an inviting vibe. Otherwise, great food, lively with top notch service. Oh and the best thing about it...no corkage fee! If I could give three and a half stars, I would! read more

Nice neighborhood Restaurant. I've seen it for years but when I decided to try it a while back COVID-19 said NO. Got a chance to stop in with some friends today and I was pleasantly surprised. The Menu could be considered on the pricey side but as with anything you get what you are willing to pay for. I have a Steak and Loaded Potato with a Bouillonies sauce. It was good. Not mind blowing or over the top but good. Service was great but limited by the sheer number of people inside so there was a bit of a wait. My favorite was the Gnocchi Max and Cheese. I would go back today for that as well as the Artichoke Dip served with fresh baked Bread. read more

Had the chance to stop back by this gem of a place again! Chad was our waiter and he was super nice and attentive to helping us and spacing out our large order so the food comes out hot and fresh. We tried a the Bolognese yesterday and the pasta was super fresh. The portion was hearty and the food came out delish! We also tried the brown sugar cake. It was a more dense and dry cake, we thought it'd be more moist, but with the ice cream on top that melted in to soften it was better. I hope they can add another dessert to their menu since there's only two options right now. They craft their drinks to seasons which I love and offer a wide range to choose from. Would recommend and can't wait for summer when they have their watermelon margarita! read more

This is a hidden gem, I highly recommend giving it a try. I love the GF tacos, could eat these every week, never get sick of them. We also love the bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers topped with breadcrumbs. Don't forget to save space for the delicious butter cake dessert with vanilla ice cream, it's to die for. read more

We started with 2 appetizers for the 4 of us... housemade potato chips and French onion dip and their amazing French fries. They both melted in our mouths.... the lightest chips I've ever had and super delicious french fries served with ketchup and a chipotle dipping sauce. The cocktails were also excellent. I had the antioxidant intoxicant. We had a bunch of shareables for dinner... fish tacos, gnocchi Mac and chz, the apple, goat cheese , and radicchio salad with the divine walnut vinaigrette , short rib tacos and potato tacos.... It was all fantastic. And being served by he owner... the best!! read more

I have been coming to the corner over the years. It's a neighborhood joint that serves amazing food. I particularly love their crispy short rib tacos and I usually ask for their everything taco, which is a combination of mashed potatoes and short rib tacos, with sriracha these tacos are amazing. I also get their short rib plate, and the rib is so tender, the sauce has a barbeque flavor and complements the short rib. I substituted mashed potatoes with grilled bok choy and was a perfect combination for me. Also have brussel sprouts which was cooked well, good flavors and crunchy bits on top. I recommend their tangerine gimlet to enjoy the food with this drink is a nice pairing. For dessert the brown butter cake was good but a little dense. With Covid, they set up tables outside and it's first come first serve, so be prepare to wait and it's worth the wait. read more
