Corner Tavern - Hapeville

In the surrounding areas of zip code 30315 , it's is extremely difficult to find a decent place to eat if you aren't looking for the same old mundane fast food. Such as , Popeyes, Chick Fil-A and McDonald's , to name a few. I spent 1 hour looking for something since I was in the area visiting friends . Finally , I stumbled upon Corner Tavern - Hapeville . I'll be honest , not only did the place have a reasonable amount of good reviews , the building didn't look so bad either . As I parked in the rear parking lot, it didn't look sketchy. There's a decent amount of parking, but if there was ever a big event I don't know where patrons would park. It wasn't that much for a huge crowd in my opinion. When I approached the building I passed a court yard with seating. There were a few bean bag toss games in the courtyard as well . I had to passed through an open covered patio with fans and high top tables . It looked nice for anyone who'd love dining outside. The place was dark and cozy . From as far as I could see ; it appeared to be clean . The ladies at the bar were friendly. I was greeted with smiles and a willingness to help me . I ordered a Jive Turkey Burger for myself and salmon on a arugula salad, with tomatoes , red bell pepper, and a little corn to take over to a friends house . The wait was about 15 minutes. I was offered a cup of ice water, in a clear to - go cup with a straw . It came in handy since I was out of water in my cooler , that I usually keep in the trunk of my car . At this point the only thing I didn't like about my experience was the 20% gratuity automatically added for take out orders . As I proceeded to pay for my food , on the screen it asked for another tip . Thankfully it was something I could opt out on . You're probably thinking I don't want to leave tips . If so, you're wrong. I have an issue with mandatory tips . Especially if I've never been there before, haven't tried the food and who am I tipping ? Am I paying a tip for someone to do their job in the kitchen? To only be asked again to tip for paying for my own food. I didn't understand the logic behind it . I leave tips anyway , for good service , but that should be under my discretion not forced . It doesn't seem sincere . What if the food isn't what I expected? I digress ! When I arrived to my destination, I noticed the food looked tasty . The presentation met my expectations. It smelled good. My turkey burger was delicious. It came with avocado, sriracha ranch and mozzarella cheese. That sounds simple , but it was delicious! I'm not a huge meat eater , but the turkey was so good. I don't have words for it . It's house made and I love the shape of the meat as well . Looked like mama made it . The fries were the old school fries with a little skin left on them. The technical name is potato periderm . (Hahaha .. the nerd in me ) Everything was seasoned to perfection. Not one thing was salted heavily or running in grease . This includes the salmon meal . Yummy ! Later , I checked out the website and it clearly stated there will be a 20% gratuity. I was out driving around looking for a good meal . Therefore , I didn't know this , but at least the website prompts awareness. It would have changed my mind had I not been out side to see the building and the over all look of the place . This plays a major role for me. Thank goodness it looked nice. Therefore, I took my chances . Appearance counts for sure . Despite knowing about the mandatory to - go gratuity I'd eat here again . The experience was delightful otherwise. I give it 4 stars because of the forced gratuity .

The food and ambience are great and truly happy for the reopening. However, out of 3 visits, our last 2 visits have had poor wait staff service (one male and one female). 2nd visit - Male - literally dropped off menus and never returned. We ultimately asked another waitress to serve us and she was awesome. 3rd visit - Female (last night) seemed to have major attitude.

Visited for Brunch on a Sunday. The Brussel Sprouts are amazing!!! The bloody Mary's are good. Ordered the blacken chicken sandwich and hamburger with side salads. The music is very nice 80's Rock vibe! They are dog friendly and the service is attentive and friendly. We will be back!

Came down for an event at Porsche down the street. Overall a good experience. Food was hot/fresh, server was pretty good/she had nearly every table going for a while, until some new staff showed up.All in all, pretty good.

This place is pretty cool. The food is always good. Do NOT sign up for karaoke if you're not serious. I happened to drop in on Saturday night & it was karaoke. Those people did not play. I almost feel like they were professionals.

It's a neighborhood bar that burned down twice! It's open for business now service is mediocre. Variety of bar food is ok since the burning down of the restaurant the prices went up a bit so your paying $12 for a cheese burger so price points $15 to $25 for entrees.Pool tables available and wide screen tv's at the bar... Inside and outside seating available. I'd would give them a 3 starBut most of the good bartenders left in the last fire and they never returned...Stay hungry folks

I'm happy this place is back open.. Good service, friendly staff.. Since they have reopened i been there 2x and both times been good.. The bartender suggested the burger and tots and another time I wanted to get the chicken nachos.. Food comes out fast, service is good, they have private parking lot and plenty of seating on the patio.. Good ambiance and vibes.

Went here tonight, and the food was amazing! Some of the most consistently delicious food I've had in a while- down to the perfect lemonade that wasn't too sweet or too tart. I highly recommend the spinach artichoke dip. It's rich, and the pita is nicely toasted and flavorful. Food seemed fairly priced also.The vibe is nice too. Wasn't too busy and had a diverse crowd of people with great throwback songs like Justin Timberlake and Luther Vandross. There were also had sack toss games, warm string lights and picnic tables on beautiful green grass outside.I deducted one star for two reasons- 1. Our server was not very present nor attentive at all. In fact, me & my boyfriend made a funny bet that gratuity was likely included in the bill based on the lack of service. We were right though we still added additional tip. He didn't check in to see if we needed anything additional. We had to catch him as he walked by avoiding eye contact every time.2. We both added avocado to our burgers for an additional $2 each yet received one and two slivers. Not ideal.Still, I'll definitely be back because the food and ambiance were worth it.

Had dinner here tonight. Ordered the California turkey sandwich. The bread was so dry. The turkey was shredded into tiny little pieces. The sandwich was not good at all. The menu only has a few sandwiches and some hamburgers on it. I would not recommend this restaurant. My friend got the hummus And she said it was just OK. She ordered a side of spinach and it was so bland. It looked like they threw some spinach in a cup and put it in the microwave. I hate it because I really wanted this restaurant to thrive after it reopened. I love the outdoor seating. They were also playing really loud, hard rock music that was awful. And I'm young.

My meal was okay, I had the turkey burger and fries. It was karaoke night so the music was a bit loud
