Everything Made Fresh Daily!
Every
time I go out to eat with my family, I always have the same problem – I
can’t decide where to go. The chain restaurants get boring and seem to
always have the same thing. My husband and I are always telling each
other that we need to find good, local restaurants.
So,
for this reason, it is not often that we leave a restaurant excited and
chatting about coming back again. But, to our surprise, this past
weekend we found a place. It was new; it was different; and it was good. And we are going back.
It was the Corner Bistro, located off of Towne Lake Parkway
in Woodstock. This past Saturday, we were hungry, ready to have a
relaxing lunch, and we found the Corner Bistro with ease. Upon
arriving, the owner, Shelly, greeted us with a warm smile, and she
listed the daily specials. It was a little hard to decide – everything
on the menu looked great, and the specials sounded even better.
And
then Shelly told us, “If you don’t love it, we’ll make you something
else.” Shelly, who runs the Corner Bistro with her son, understands
what it means to have good customer service.
The
Corner Bistro serves breakfast all day, with a sampling of unique
dishes, like “Nonni’s Peppers and Egg Sandwich” with scrambled eggs,
grilled peppers, onions, and cheese on a toasted hoagie. Or, you can
choose from the lunch and dinner menu, which includes various salads,
wraps, soup, deli sandwiches, and even barbecue.
While
we were there, another customer was enjoying the “Gyro”, a unique pita
filled with slow roasted lamb, beef, diced tomatoes, lettuce and creamy
cucumber sauce. Yum! Shelly told us that another favorite among her
customers is crab cakes, and she also said that they do catering too!
Our son wanted to start off with the chili cheese fries (of course) and they were delicious. The chili tasted homemade and the thick fries and cheese made it the perfect appetizer.
My
husband decided to have one of the daily specials - the “Barbecue
Shrimp and Slaw Quesadilla.” After trying it, he told Shelly it was
different and very good, and he was not sure how she had thought of it.
It came with a side of the Corner Bistro’s “famous” fried green beans
(also yummy).

Our son wanted breakfast, and he enjoyed his sausage and egg sandwich. I
decided to try the chicken salad, because it is one of my favorites,
even though sometimes I am afraid to order it at restaurants. I wanted
to give it a try, and had a choice of pecans or grapes in the salad, or
both, and I decided to have both. I was very pleased with my choice. I
think it is one of the best chicken salads I have ever had (maybe even
better than mine!). I asked Shelly if they sold it by the pound, and of
course, she said that they do.
There
is a sign hanging in the Corner Bistro that says “Good Company Always
Welcome.” That is definitely true, because we were in good company, and
we had good food. And we plan to go back.
Try it out for yourself, and you will love it. The details are below.
