| - Let's talk about the food.
The menu is just straight up American. No, not that nebulous American (New) stuff I see popping up. We're talking great for sandwiches, pizzas, flatbreads (I love when a restaurant can differentiate between the two), and salads. I stuffed my face with a lot of stuff here, so let's talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly.
The good: The pizzas are on point. Sure, the pesto gets a bit sloppy, but tastes great. And the tomato bacon variety is top notch, especially because they appear to be one of the few restaurants out there that actually puts effort into serving good bacon. I was very happy with that selection. Pair it with a salad. Doesn't matter which one, they're all really freaking good.
You know what else is cool? The huge to-go section, like a grocery store deli. If you can't sit down for lunch, you can just grab it off the shelf. There's a huge beverage selection as well. It almost makes downtown feel as though it's not a food desert. Prices are totally reasonable, and if their hot dishes are any indication, the quality makes Paradise Bakery look like Subway.
The bad: Flatbreads are kinda lame. Salmon and capers make for a snoozefest with nothing else to really let it shine. The chicken variety tastes like someone really wanted to make a chicken salad sandwich and gave up half way through. I wouldn't go for these.
the ugly: Nope, there is none. The worst I can say about The Corner is that only the majority of what they serve is good. Don't expect anything adventurous for your palate here, but rather the classics done correctly, and you'll leave satisfied. If I'm ever in the area for lunch, this is on the top of my list.
