Corner Cafe

Breakfast was fantastic, did not leave a crumb of food on the plate. The small setting was really nice with the wife. Although the waitress I thought was over whelmed she handled herself very well.

I love this cafe. I come here while running around the area or visiting Maryview Hospital.The cafe is cute, making you feel as if you have stepped back in time to a mom-and-pop restaurant. The decor is Southern, basic, and refreshing.The service is ALWAYS great. I love that anyone on staff asks customers if they need anything when they pass your table. They create a welcoming and wholesome environment.The crowd here is usually very diverse and kind to each other. I have occasionally come into contact with the best storytellers here while eating their delicious cakes and pies.I love their burgers, desserts, pulled pork, and delicious coffee. The only drawback is the parking is very limited, and it is difficult to keep circling the block waiting for someone to leave.Come here and enjoy the local Tidewater flair,

The ambiance is clean, friendly and inviting!! The service is great the waitressmade sure i knew the corn beef hash was homemade which was amazing , this is definitely my new breakfast place when I have time. The coffee was good, not too strong not too weak, they have really nice to go containers. Ramp out front for wheelchair access

Terrific burgers. The weekend fish special is large and delicious. Fast, friendly service in a comfortable setting.

The staff is very professional! Nice and made us feel welcome! Limited parking ! Nightly specialsDesserts looked amazing Although I didn't try any !Def coming back

I found out today that Corner Cafe was sold to new owners in 2021, so I wanted to post an updated review. BEST grits I've ever had!! They are so creamy and good, I cannot even really describe it, but I could eat just a huge bowl of these grits and be happy. My supreme omelet was cheesy and delicious. We got hot coffee refills like clockwork. The table next to us ordered pancakes, and they were HUGE. I will be trying the pancakes next time. Service was nice, and the inside is decorated with iconic photos of Portsmouth. We will be back soon!

So, this was my second time visiting this restaurant. The first time I ordered the fish sandwich. It was ok, not great. Lacked flavor but was still ok. I had heard so many great things about the restaurant of course I needed to give it another chance. OK y'all, it's small. There are a total of 7 tables, but let me tell you, they stay busy! Small parking lot and the service was very good, both times. I think because it's small, it's like a family diner environment. Very comfortable. They have daily specials and I specifically wanted to go on Friday. I ordered the She Crab soup (they only have it like two days out of the week) and it was delicious! As my meal, I ordered the Friday special, fish and shrimp. I changed it up and got all shrimp. Nice size and very well seasoned. With the special comes hush puppies, fries, coleslaw and baked beans. BABY.... It was SO much food. Of course I didn't eat it all. Way too much, you could probably share it. The only thing that I wasn't crazy about was the coleslaw. It was a miss for me, but I'm also pretty picky with coleslaw. ‍. The one Friday we went there was no dessert but the first time they had homemade cakes, that I think they get from a local bakery. Homemade = delicious! I was kinda sad that one Friday but it was also around the holidays so I understood. If you're in the area, check them out.

The food the service the people. All great. Everything was great. It could definitely do way better if there was more room, but they make the best of it. Great deserts as well. Very convenient and quick. Need more parking space as well. Once again great place for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Let's not forget about the dinner specials they offer!

I love this place. The corned beef hash is home made and terrific! The menu isn't huge but the dishes they make are all great. The staff is so friendly and always makes sure you have everything you need. Prices are competitive. Food is fast and they've always gotten the orders correct. Dining room is small so we usually do take out. The desserts are amazing! Also home made fresh.

The chef salad tasted ok. I ordered a few different items including barbecue, a hot dog, pork chop, cheeseburger, red velvet cake, and chocolate cake. I may return again, but I was not wowed by any of the items. The staff were friendly. The restaurant is quaint, so expect minimum elbow room if you plan to dine in.
