    This was such a fun place. While it is a bit loud, the vibe is amazing. They had a DJ in Saturday night, and he played great music. The food was way better than bar food. I had the fried chicken sandwich, and my husband had the chicken and waffles and Brussels sprouts. We will for sure return!

  • Review 2 (2024-04-09 - Rating: 5)

    The atmosphere is a bar/club but the food is way better than that. I loved the vibe, music, and the food. The only downside was my Mamas Chicken sandwich; I wished the chicken was an actual thick juicy fried chicken breast sandwich but instead is a pounded out thin piece which made it very dry. My wifes curry rice, chicken dish however, was very good as was my lobster bisque. The DJ was great and played some great dance music.

    Corner social is a nice vibe! We went there on a whim for Saturday brunch around 12:30pm. There was already quite a few people there, but we were seated immediately without a reservation. You can order from the brunch menu or appetizers from the regular menu. They have a nice selection. We ordered the burrito and chicken & waffles. The burrito was pretty good, could have been seasoned a bit more. The chicken & waffles were good. The chicken was well seasoned and the waffles were soft. The mimosas were $25 for a bottle (they mix it in advance) or $9 for individual mimosas. They were pretty strong! Definitely got the job done. Everything came out quickly and the service was good. The dj played a mix of r&b music and was interactive with the guests. He even does a free drink on the hour. I’d definitely return.

    While back in the area visiting friends, we ended up going to dinner here - my friend has been to this spot many times and I get why.Got there around 6 something on a Saturday and got a table pretty quickly which was great because the place was definitely full of people but not too crowded. The vibes were good with the decor, lighting and music the DJ was playing. Our waiter immediately came over to check & take our drink orders. I got the Harlem Love Punch and my friend got The Golden Goose. Both drinks were really good offering different tastes of course - the punch was on the sweet side but not too sweet & well mixed, while the golden goose gave a more refreshing feeling after taking a sip. Throughout the entire dining experience, he was polite and checked in an appropriate amount of times. Their menu looked great and had so many options I wanted to try, it was hard for me to pick one lol. My friend got the Burger. Since it was my first time there and she said the burgers are good, I played it a bit safe while still getting something I felt would be tasty, filling and slightly different - the Lamb Burger w/ Sweet Potato Fries.Definitely recommend checking them out and I for sure want to go back when Im back in town.

    Corner Social is always a vibe. The food is good the music is good and I like the area. Its great to go before you head out to a lounge or before the Shrine 🌚 I do wish there was a dance floor though just to separate everyone dancing

  • Review 6 (2022-08-05 - Rating: 5)

    Corner Social is such a gem in the neighborhood.I went during Saturday Brunch so they had a DJ. They had an interactive “name that song” game with a free drink as a prize.Great ambiance. The staff was incredibly attentive. Our server was Genesis. Another employee, Jeritza, was walking around with her beautiful head of curls, checking in on every party. Just making sure that everything was okay. This touch set Corner Social apart in my mind.On to the food-I ordered the Chicken Bacon Waffle - the chicken was juicy, well seasoned and the bacon was crispy. The waffle could use some work. It was very soft but still tasted good.My friend ordered the steak and eggs. She ate it but noted that the steak was chewy, the eggs had too much moisture and the bread was the best part of the dish due to the butter.The mimosa bottle was large enough for multiple servings for 2 people and tasted great.I highly recommend corner social. It is a good spot to socialize, have some nice drinks and good food.

    We stumbled upon this restaurant by chance during a tour of interesting places in the area, and we were delighted we did. The atmosphere is truly, truly, truly wonderful and welcoming, the staff are friendly, and the food is excellent, all at reasonable prices. The dining experience, with its commitment to the environment and fun vibe, was outstanding. We highly recommend it. We tried both the brunch and dessert, and both were simply fantastic.

  • Review 8 (2024-11-17 - Rating: 4)

    Went with a friend for happy hour. The drinks and food were good, they do allow for a few substitutions with your order. Only thing that sucked was they do not take Apple pay or GPay, so can or card only.

  • Review 9 (2022-11-12 - Rating: 5)

    The vibe to the food is really good.Always ordering something different off the menu every time I go. Only thing is sometimes on some days I guess it is a bit of a wait. I had brunch and on another girls night out had some dinner

  • Review 10 (2022-04-05 - Rating: 4)

    We waited about 45 minutes at the bar for a table. On this particular Sunday (not sure if this is the norm) the tables were all reserved and we were informed that they hold tables for 15 minutes after calling the party. We were added to the waiting list and eventually a table became available. The food was good (had wings (dry rub) and a Caesar Salad). My recommendation would be to make reservations in advance. It was busy this Sunday and they also had a live DJ, really nice spot in Harlem.

  • Review 11 (2020-09-20 - Rating: 4)

    The fried chicken and waffles were fried perfectly. The flavor was perfect. The cutlet and the crust were both seasoned well. The mac and cheese was also tasty but soupy and artificial. The jerk chicken wings were delicious. I do not recommend the crab cakes as they were small and not filled with lump meat, instead tuna like meat.

  • Review 12 (2024-10-22 - Rating: 5)

    The mussels with garlic bread are a must! I like going early, the later it gets, the more “Club” it becomes. They have great DJ’s. They check bags and do pat downs after a certain time. I will update with pics next time I go 😊 They make a good “martini with a twist”

  • Review 13 (2023-05-06 - Rating: 5)

    Loved the food and vibes here. Service was nice too. Can be quite loud inside though. Sit outside if you don’t want to yell to talk

  • Review 14 (2022-06-04 - Rating: 4)

    My adult children invited me out for dinner and they chose this location. Decorations are beautiful, the music was great. They even had a DJ. Covid protocol are followed and service was quick and pleasant. Will definitely come back again.

  • Review 15 (2024-12-16 - Rating: 5)

    Love this place. I have been coming here for a few years now. Food is delicious and price even better. Service on point! DJ knows which music to play💃🕺

  • Review 16 (2023-11-06 - Rating: 5)

    Non stop Harlem vibes everyday into the night (dj starts at 8:30ish).The menu has recently been updated; try the braised lamb shank or the lobster bisque, my favorites. Cesar and John will take care of you at the bar with expertly crafted mixed drinks.Sunday brunch is a big hit so please be sure to make reservations.Men, on Fridays and Saturdays after 9pm, be prepared to pay a small cover charge to get in. It will be worth it as plenty of well dressed ladies frequent this place just before midnight.Try Corner Social because Harlem is a vibe

  • Review 17 (2023-01-24 - Rating: 5)

    Food was excellent the music was great just dont get a seat by the door when its cold because you will feel it every time the door opens other than that excellent place to visit

  • Review 18 (2023-10-09 - Rating: 4)

    Fun spot with great music and extensive menu. Drinks are strong, but taste a bit like what I used to make in my college dorm - could use some refinement.

  • Review 19 (2017-07-02 - Rating: 5)

    Corner Social is the place to go for just about everything youre looking for. Dont sleep on their food menu- everything is cooked fresh daily. Good drinks, a fun atmosphere and a dance floor wherever you happen to stand, especially on a Friday or Saturday night. Im local to the neighborhood and frequent here every week.

  • Review 20 (2019-05-24 - Rating: 4)

    Food - Great: The Argentina empanadas were quite tasty and seasoned very well. The baby back ribs fell of the bone and you could tell they flavored and spiced their bbq sauce - Yes Chef! Sweet plantain size could be smaller and thinner, which would add to texture.Service - Below Average: I was a little thrown off by the full pat down search by the door at 9pm on a Thursday for dinner. It took over 15 minutes for my server to notice me sitting outside and then over 15 minutes to receive my gin and tonic. Server with conroes and bottom half of his head shaved handed me the bill without a thank you or any words or eye contact at all, let’s train this young man ASAP please!Overall - Recommend. While a lot of people come for the amazing trendy music and urban crowd, I wouldn’t sleep on the food. The food was the highlight of my experience and review. It’s worthy of it’s location across the street from the greats. If in uptown, Corner Social is a NYC destination!

  • Review 21 (2021-11-10 - Rating: 5)

    Good food, good service, good atmosphere, and an excellent price above all 👌🏼 A cozy place with an outdoor option but with good protection, I ordered these two dishes and the truth was all very delicious💯

  • Review 22 (2024-11-11 - Rating: 5)

    Great service and great food. Definitely recommend coming here if your looking for a good meal.

  • Review 23 (2023-01-02 - Rating: 4)

    Came here for brunch after New Years around 1:00. They had a DJ who was playing a variety of music, new school old school. We wound up sitting at the bar because we couldnt get seated until our entire party was here and we practically stayed at the bar. I had the steak and eggs with french fries. Considering we stayed for like 6 hours I wind up ordering dinner as well and I had the chicken penne vodka. Both dishes were great. I ordered a drink that is not typically known, a French 125 and the bartender looked up the recipe and made it for me! I appreciated that!

  • Review 24 (2020-02-22 - Rating: 4)

    Banging brunch!!! Although you pay separately for your unlimited drinks and your meals, I had an amazing time. The DJ is the bomb!!!! I was dancing from beginning til the end literally. If you want mimosas thats an additional $25 on top of your meal and if you want to switch between mimosas, rum punch and sangrias thats an additional $35

  • Review 25 (2024-08-13 - Rating: 4)

    Popped in on a rainy day during happy hour and really enjoyed it. Great service, good drinks and I enjoyed the drunken fries.

  • Review 26 (2022-09-10 - Rating: 5)

    Dope Neo-Soul food spot. Authentic Harlem feel. DJ played a dope mix of 90s hip-hop & R&B . Food was banging. I had the shrimp & grits

  • Review 27 (2021-11-13 - Rating: 5)

    Angel took excellent care of me and my girlfriends Saturday from noon to 3 p.m. We really loved the vibe here. We ordered drinks at the bar and found out you have to order an app when you order a bottle of prosecco. We got the calamari and it was perfect to snack on for the four of us. The calamari had a light, crispy breading seasoned well with a side of marinara sauce for dipping. I also had the lychee martini and it was delicious. Corner Social requires you to be vaccinated to enter so I really enjoyed my time here feeling a little safer.

  • Review 28 (2024-03-14 - Rating: 5)

    Ive been here twice & each time was fantastic. The drinks 🍸 are awesome 👌 the food was great the service was spot on. I will make this place my go-to spot. Be sure to make reservations so that way you can have a good spot. The food & drinks quality and quantity is perfect. You get your moneys worth.

    Went to the Apollo theater and ran across this gem. Vibe is nice. People nice. Service is fast. They don’t charge for entry and prices are reasonable. I will come back when in town.

  • Review 32 (2024-06-28 - Rating: 4)

    Overall its a great vibe. There is great food and a great vibe. Tends to get fairly crowded though and can spill a lot of drinks that are a bit pricey as well.

  • Review 33 (2018-05-17 - Rating: 5)

    This place is popular during the daytime and night. Great old soul Hip-Hop and R&B beats. Great place to mingle and meet beautiful people

  • Review 34 (2024-03-28 - Rating: 4)

    I had a very pleasant experience at Corner Social, the music was amazing, not too loud, I was able to have conversations with my friends without shouting. For appetizer, I had the chicken spring rolls, very interesting taste and different but very delicious, would order a second time. For Entries, I ordered the salmon with mash potatoes. The meal was delicious, well seasoned, interms of appearance, compared to others my plate was very colorless, I think I ate maybe 3 small cherry tomatoes and 2 broccoli lol the portion size very small but it was very delicious. If you skipped lunch and youre hungry, dont order but want something not hearty, then order. Overall, my experience was great. Would definitely visit to try the rest of the menu

  • Review 35 (2023-10-18 - Rating: 5)

    Im from Milwaukee and this was my first stop on Sunday! What a time! We were greeted with a smile upon entering-That goes a long way in service these days. The waitress was warm and inviting, helpful, and knowledgeable. The atmosphere and music was great! Lets talk food! Fresh, hot, boasting with flavor! There was an all around great vibe and energy throughout the establishment. The manager on duty that day, I believe his name was Craig, please forgive me if Im wrong. He has been with the company for over 6 years and he believes in the brand. You all have the right man for the job! Personable, knowledge, great customer service, and attentive to detail. Corner Social is the place to be especially for brunch! To be in a restaurant with great food, drinks, music, staff, and patrons-ALL A VIBE! This place has great energy!

  • Review 36 (2023-10-14 - Rating: 5)

    My husband and I arrived in town today and googled a place for lunch. The Corner Social popped up ad it was close to our hotel. We took the short walk and was pleasantly surprised. The food was amazing. I had chicken and waffles while my husband had wings. The Memphis rubbed wings were fire! The chicken and waffles were equally as good. Great service and the atmosphere was a vibe. I highly recommend this establishment.

  • Review 37 (2024-06-17 - Rating: 5)

    The calamari it was ok. The penne Ala vodka and the linguini shrimp and mussels are amazing. The price is higher than I expected $ 185 for 2 people .

    Went there last night and it was very loud even outside.Service is a bit lacking cause understaffed. However our waiter was very nice and very efficient.Food quality is good. The calamari salad is good and sweet potatoes as well.Got an espresso martini and it was ok.It’s definitely overpriced !

  • Review 45 (2023-10-19 - Rating: 5)

    The music was a little loud which Im starting to accept and l guess its just a Harlem thing. I didnt have to shout though like a Harlem Tavern. If you want a little more quiet. The Halloween decorations were really whimsical and entertaining. The staff was affable and the food was absolutely next level. You must have the lamb shank this winter dont thank me later. Absolutely Divine Im not the least bit gamey as lamb poorly prepared can often be. Mashed potatoes are wonderful! And their truffle fries are just right.

  • Review 46 (2023-10-18 - Rating: 4)

    My Family & I stumbled upon Corner Social on our way to another destination. We arrived during Happy Hour & ordered the Harlem Love Punch, Spinach Dip & Chicken & Waffles & Lamb Burger. Loved the spinach dip & drinks. The rest of the food was good but couldve been seasoned better for flavor. Nice food presentation, service & atmosphere. We enjoyed ourselves!

  • Review 47 (2018-01-09 - Rating: 4)

    I have been to the corner social a few times over the years. Whether it be for brunch or dinner, I always enjoy the food. The Lobster Ravioli is my favorite on the menu. I have heard my friends complain about the prefixed group menu price, and how they were cheated out of some money, but I can only lean on my experience. Nice!

  • Review 48 (2018-04-22 - Rating: 5)

    Today was my first time having dinner at Corner Social and my overall experience was pleasant.I ordered the salmon at a medium cook which was paired with mashed potatoes, broccoli, and cherry tomatoes…AMAZING!The music was a bit loud but the service was great…. Except for the waiter wearing the Jean apron who was inattentive and seemed to purposely ignore me while trying to get his attention. He was clearly having a bad day or does not embody customer service like the rest of his team.

    Its a small place with big energy. The staff is super friendly and nice. There was a live DJ playing good music. I was there for Saturday brunch. I had the steak and eggs. He had the chicken and waffles. The food was great. Every bite full of great flavor. Especially the chicken. Best chicken Ive had in years. We had classic mojitos. The bartender was definitely heavy handed with the run but not something that would take away from the review. Most people would probably like a boozy drink. All around a really good experience.

    The food and drinks here were very good. The brunch menu has pretty good variety. The service was good for the most part, maybe the only criticism is that they were a little slow clearing the table of unused stuff at times but thats minute. The music is very good and sets a good atmosphere. The bathrooms were clean.

    Amazing food and drinks too. The DJ adds another layer of flavor to a very unique place. I was there with a big group, and they did the best to serve us. Food and drinks were slow to come due to staffing issues, however the manager did his best by offering complementary drinks. Best way to keep your customers happy.

    I have been there many times by myself and and with different size groups. The reason we keep coming back is the ambience of the place, it always has a really nice vibe. Please be aware the security outside are enforcing dress code, you definitely wanna make sure you’re in it otherwise your night will be ruined. I can say that the service has been consistent for the volume of the bar, the service is okay. Cocktails are pretty nice and the food is good as well.

    Seating took forever and seemed disorganized in terms of order. Fish (not salmon) smelled VERY fishy and didnt really taste great. Waitress was great. DJ was great. Drinks waitress made was great. Would probably go back. Didnt pick up phone all day to make a reservation and you cant make an evening reservation online.

  • Review 82 (2022-04-06 - Rating: 5)

    I was mid-conversation, drinking an old fashioned with my date when the food appears in record time but not only did the food get to us fast, the food was great! One would assume that flavor would be lost with how quickly it was made, but that was not the case here. Corner social is great for dates or a quick bite before heading over to the Magic Johnson Theater for a movie.- Alex

    Exceptional! The food was amazing and came out quicker than I expected. Only thing is that I wish I had more ravioli, otherwise it was great. I also had a virgin strawberry daiquiri and that was super good.

    This place is definitely a vibe. The staff are attentive and helpful. The music is great! If youre going to hang out, youll have a great time. However, the food isnt good at all and the drinks are hit and miss.

    Great curb appeal-the spot has good drinks. They are well balanced and made with intention. The strawberry martini was tart, sweet and the purée was fantastic. The bartenders are interactive and friendly. Wanted food but the kitchen was closed-that is on me. I plan on visiting again to try their dinner menu.

    Due to a private event at the restaurant I intended to visit, I was pointed to Corner Social for an open air summertime lunch. Ive always seen patrons hanging out here and to tell the truth from outside you cant really tell how nice this place and the staff truly are.The food was spot on from a presentation and taste standpoint. My table was graced with a beautiful and fresh Cobb Salad and an awesome Bacon Cheeseburger.This place looks like an awesome place to visit at night when the crowds come in and the music gets turned up a bit. I look forward to a future visit.

    Tony was our server and he gave us an amazing experience! We were in town from Chicago and our food to his service was outstanding! The burger was amongst one of the best I’ve ever had. I just wish their drink portions for the mimosas were slightly bigger though. Besides that, I still give them five stars.

  • Review 93 (2021-08-22 - Rating: 4)

    Great place for either a date night or night out with friends. Considering it was a Friday night when we went there was a bit of a wait and they may have been a little understaffed. The Penne alla vodka was flavorful, hot, and a good size portion. Live DJ playing R&B (probably changes from night to night) made the dining experience even better. Indoor and outdoor dining options available but depending on the time of day dining outdoors can get loud especially in that area.

  • Review 94 (2021-06-19 - Rating: 5)

    Great spot, love the food it was very tasteful and drinks were on point as well. The atmosphere is very cool with great throwback music. It can get crowded and cluttered but on the weekdays its good.Divine the hosted was awesome and friendly made sure we got seated right away and even let us choose our table that was available near the window instead of sitting us in the center where we was originally suppose to sit - that was a super plus. A++Our server was friendly and down to earth as well. Our food was great. The lamb chops were very good enjoyed them, chicken avocado sandwich was great not dry at all, chicken quesadillas had flavor as well. Overall was great I was satisfied.For the first time going I was truly impressed honestly. Had a great time.

  • Review 97 (2020-02-19 - Rating: 5)

    Five Stars for this business considering the communication to get the reservation and the dining experience. To celebrate my friends birthday we wanted a brunch party environment and we searched a few places in the city and the stipulations were all over the top and a complete turn off. We were familiar with the Corner Social having been to other restaurants in the area. We emailed the restaurant and got a response rather quickly from the manager Camille. She was an absolute pleasure to work with, she responded quickly and took care of everything via email. We reserved for 15 people and once word got out among our friends we needed to accommodate 25 people... I reached out to Camille two days before asking for a miracle and she made it work !!!!!Fast forward to Saturday at one, we all arrive and are seated at a few tables all in the same area and let the fun begin. The music was great not to loud so you could converse but loud enough to move your hips when your song came on. We all ordered either the shrimp and grits or chicken and waffles.... I didnt take any food pics too many of the same thing posted. IT WAS SOOOO GOOD....oh and the crab cakes we also got a few of those and they were great also. We all got the unlimited brunch drinks and boy oh boy...Most of us opted for the rum punch, all I know was my glass never got to empty. They made it their business to keep it full and b/c of that i cant say how much I actually drank but we had a great time.The DJ was super cool and very interactive with the crowd. They even had raffles going on and my friend actually won !The atmosphere was great, bar seating, great food and accommodating staff. Such a large party Im sure we were a bit much to deal with at once...a bunch of girls with a bunch of questions but she was AWESOME. Patient and took great care of us from start to finish. I would absolutely return and recommend this place to anyone.Oh and the price was very fair considering all the food we all had.

    A nice place to grab a good meal at a decent price. It has a live dj all night and gets pretty turned up in the later hours. It’s a small place so expect a crowded experience. They stop serving your table around 10:30pm-11:00pm but you can get drinks all night. I’ve been a few times and have enjoyed myself every time I go.

  • Review 99 (2020-02-25 - Rating: 4)

    Food is decent- pretty much what you would expect for slightly more upscale bar food. I can’t say I’ve tried the brunch. It’s a great place for happy hour and or to watch the game. They have a good DJ Friday nights, though it tends to get really packed.

    Great food. Great service. Good beer selection. Cool place to hang out. Close to mass transit and shopping. Did I mention GREAT FOOD? The name of the place sums it up perfectly. Nice crowd well fed and full of really good beer and mixed drinks. Yeah, Ill definitely go back. And the prices are really good for what youre getting. Sizable portions and large beers. And the foods really good.

    Ended up having a great time! Good food, nice attentive waiters, music mix on point and current. Nice crowd on Sunday evening. Went for my birthday with a large party of abt 20 people. I wouldnt suggest coming here with a mixed crowd of children, young adults and adults for dinner. They sat us at a high table with tall bar chairs ...uncomfortable at first. But after 6:30/7 it was lit!!! Good vibes, cool energy all night.

  • Review 103 (2018-09-16 - Rating: 5)

    First off I love Harlem period. But I really loved the vibe at the Corner Social. The DJ/music...on point. My steak...on point. My drinks (the Harlem Sage)...on point. Loved the energy of the whole place. Highly recommend reviewers to stop by. We went in around 5pm on a Sat and left around 730pm. There was a nice crowd even then. We heard it got livelier around 10 but we had to head to BK that night...if not we would have hung around longer or came back for sure. I most definitely will be returning to the Corner Social on my next visit back to NYC.

  • Review 104 (2021-12-08 - Rating: 5)

    This resturant was on point. A resturant has to have several aspects that give them a 5 star rating. 1. Host. The host was gracious and extremely courteous. My friends and I asked to be moved from outside to inside and the host was very accommodating. She was super sweet. 2. Live DJ., music inclusive and their was something for everyone. Good food. My friends and I went for brunch. As starters we ordered loaded nachos, quasidilia and spinach dip. There was so much good food and huge portions, we could bearly eat our main course. I had an egg and sausage burrito. Beyond yummy. It came out pipping hot. Simply delicious.Our server was very nice and the Manager took the time to bring our table extra silverware. When you need to do brunch, this is the spot to hit up. You wont be disappointed.

    This place is amazing. I am originally from Harlem and came up to NY form Florida where I now live and was so happy to be back to my birth place. My niece told me about this place and knew o would love it 😍 and I did. The music 🎵 the bartenders to the bouncers was good. We spent a good penny that night in there and the Manager or owner not sure who he was, was pleasant by asking us if we were good and just checking on us repeatedly. Our waiter was on point.Bathrooms are clean and the setting due to Covid was a little too close for me but was good because they had covers shields in between tables. Food, OMG 😱 was amazing if your ever in Harlem please go here you will not be disappointed.

  • Review 115 (2019-06-07 - Rating: 5)

    I just love Corner Social. The food is good, the drinks are good, and I have yet to come across a member of the wait staff who wasnt pleasant. Sometimes theres a DJ, so if you dont plan accordingly it could be too loud for a sit down brunch or dinner. However, if youre there for the turn up, the DJ is great for a nonstop dance party.

  • Review 116 (2024-05-24 - Rating: 5)

    This place is so awesome. The food is amazing. The drinks are off the chain!!! If you are ever in Ny ,you must go to Corner social. When I tell you the music, the atmosphere the people mixed with the food and the drinks... it is a recipe for a hell of a good time!!!! The only thing I can say is that theres a security guard by the bathrooms they are single stalls for men and women. that was a little weird but I cant wait to return!!!

  • Review 117 (2018-01-29 - Rating: 5)

    There are always stories at the end of the night after visiting the socializing corner (as I like to say). Cocktails are a bit too sweet for my liking so stick to wine. Age range various so lots of interesting folks roll through. Learn the rhythm of this spot. Worth going on Saturday or Sunday night. Def a date spot.

  • Review 118 (2017-06-12 - Rating: 5)

    This is a consistent hangout spot for myself and my coworkers who work around the corner from this establishment. We absolutely love coming here (even though granted it is a little pricey) if you like old school music with a little mixture of a little bit of new school definitely this is the spot. The drinks are amazing it isnt like a hit and miss but they never fail my favorite drink is a whiskey sour. But definitely a chill spot for a Friday or Saturday night.

    Non-mainstream Pub segment. Fair number of monitors for sports events. Hip decor emphasis (blocking the monitors for sports). Prices are par. Portions are par. Fair to good execution of the menu. Drinks with good bite. Happy hour for drinks only. Late night has food specials added. Great service and host staff boosted them to 4-star status. Pics: world cup crowd, well gin gimlet.

  • Review 121 (2020-10-03 - Rating: 4)

    Came here on a Sunday around noon and we were seated immediately. Started off with some mimosas and great nachos. I ordered the Fried Chicken and Waffles, which tasted pretty good - but the waffles were disappointingly thin and small, plus you have to ask for syrup if you want it. Had some bites of a friends Croque Madam and it was ok; felt like they couldve used better bread - it was pretty Wonder Bread-ish. The fries on the side were great though. Overall, the atmosphere was nice, service was ok (couldnt get the servers attention a couple of times), and the food was satisfactory. Not sure if Id come back, but it was nice enough for a 4/5.

  • Review 125 (2013-09-16 - Rating: 4)

    The food has NEVER let me down here. This is the kind of place you end up going to on a whim, because (and the reason they lose a star) they do NOT take reservations unless you are a large group. I cant stand this, because you will almost always have to wait for a table here...this is Manhattan, I dont have time to wait, and more often than not I have brought my friends here and after ten minutes or so walked away. Since I dont like to do this when entertaining friends, I rarely get to dine here unless as I said, on a whim a friend and I pass by, notice theres no line and say, Gee, Im hungry. Service was also a bit slow, but the open-air atmosphere, especially in the summer months, is very welcoming as is the music and neighborhood. Definitely check it out, but make sure you have the time to spare.

    Excellent place to enjoy moderately priced Southern comfort food (twist thereof) and good quality pub fare. The atmosphere has a real local quality and feels like a destination spot at the same time. This will become a very regular stop, for most people - it is for me!

  • Review 129 (2019-06-07 - Rating: 5)

    This place has really turned into an establishment that is geared towards profiling and turning away community based customers and I remember when they first opened they were welcoming and excepting of everyone and it was a great social setting. Now I see security turning away ALOT of African American males that are single and not with a women, or groups of males , and when you get inside it is just couples and females! Not a great social setting being as though the place isnt a huge location and you are still able to stand around as patrons dine sitting down. Bring back the welcoming and great ambiance that the original corner social had or relocate!

    If you are looking for some great dishes that are filling but not overwhelming then find your way to Corner Social.

Good draft selections and fresh ingredients made our drinks very enjoyable!

    Have been for brunch twice and Im sure this will become a regular spot for us. Weve had omelets, huevos rancheros, and chicken and waffles and theyve all been good. Probably most highly recommend the omelets.The only thing that would make it 5 stars is if they had decaf coffee. They had decaf tea but Id expect a place that serves brunch to have both regular and decaf coffee.Service is great and very friendly. Atmosphere is fun and music is great and not too loud. Well be back!

    The music and vibe was great the entire night and the staff are pretty respectable. I love how they do not rush you to leave after you are finished eating. However, I ordered the shrimp and grits which had great potential. The recipe seemed good but it taste bland and my food was cold. I had to keep adding salt lol smh and I am not a person who usually overseasons my food. I wish I could give 3 1/2 stars. The food being cold and bland really had a lot to do with that. I will try it out again most definitely because of the vibe and music, I’ll give the food the benefit of doubt, maybe the chef was tired or something lol.
