    Excellent big burgers and crispy fries. Best ice cream in town. Very small town, no stop lights,…read moreold time atmosphere. A few booths inside but blocked off. Had to wait a few minutes for several ice cream customers to leave. Moderate price at about $10 for a burger, med fries and med drink. Burger was loaded and juicy. Had to actually mash it down a bit to take a bite. A nice day and plenty of chairs and a couple tables outside. They said they would bring the food out to us and did so shortly. Recommended but probably will be a line on weekends.

    This was one of the worst experiences I've had a business. Not only was the service horrible, slow…read moreand rude but the atmosphere in the restaurant was gross and tacky. The restaurant was covered in horrendous ai stickers which were being sold for outrageous prices. However the ridiculous pricing didn't stop there. The food was laughably priced. 9 dollars for a sandwich, not including a drink or a side. A side was 7 dollars and a drink 3 and I'm rounding down. When ordering the ladies there were obviously not enthused and had no care on how long people might wait. They even forgot my mother's drink and made her pay for another. Once again the inside was dirty. When the food, ever so slowly, came we sat outside. I will admit that was the only nice part, we sat outside with an umbrella shading us. When finally seeing the food I almost had hope that it might be good, not enough to justify the exorbitant pricing but good. The sandwhich looked big and the onion rings looked well fried. However when I took a bite of the sandwich I was extremely disappointed. Not a lick of seasons and the patty was absolutely disgustingly cheap and tough. You would be better off at McDonalds. The onion rings while more visually appealing were also quite bland. And the size of the large drink was not nearly big enough to justify the price. The real kicker is for three people it was almost 80 dollars. It would be better to eat at McDonalds and get ice cream at fudgee's in the next town over.

    I have rarely given a 5 Star review, but the "Corner Bistro" in Bellaire is simply tremendous! We…read morewere running tardy for our reservations due to flooded roads, but the staff was very understanding. Placed at a cozy table indoors & bottled water arrived immediately. Our waitress smiled warmly as we opted for beverage orders. Just as I'm ready to go with the Oregon Pinot Noir, my eye catches a "Black Manhattan" on the cocktail menu. Well they set the fishing hook right into my cheek. Obviously I had to roll the dice. Huge drink garnished with Italian maraschino cherries. Brilliant Concussion! Simply delish! Okay, now on to their small plate listings. I opted for a Seafood pasta, speckled with shrimp, clams & a mussel or two - genius. Linda selected their sliced filet mignon, which you could cut with your fork - perfect medium rare. Also her salad serving was cleaned up with great enthusiasm. Our dear dining friends loved their choices also. Oh I almost forgot, Taylor's French Onion soup was over the top. The room was very pleasant with soft tones and lower ceilings. Now far from me being a wall flower, I inquired about the Chef. Waited for perhaps 15 seconds and simply strolled into the back of the house (kitchen) & asked to met the Chef. Taylor appeared around the corner with the look on his face like "hell's bells this guy didn't like my cooking!". WRONG! Completely caught off guard as I expounded about his creativity and presentations. Love this little gem in Bellaire. Have missed the Rowe Inn & Tapawingo over the years, but the 26 minute drive is SO worth it. Call them for reservations as the staff is limited, but attentive. Hope to met Maggie next visit. Plan to dine again next week

    Wow, wow! The food was so good! I got the Grilled Cheese, my friend got the Fried Chicken sandwich…read morewhen we split in half and shared so we had both and I couldn't tell you which I liked more! The truffle fries are a must, they were so so good! We started with the Brussels sprouts app and those were so yummy! Service was great, everything was fast and friendly and cooked to perfection. Nice lighting, outside area if you choose and just small bistro you should not skip!
