“It was great, the martinis are top quality. The service was excellent as well. I would recommended the French dip. The desserts are great too, the Samoa Sundae is a big portion, definitely recommended to spilt.”

“Their french dip was quality, as were the desserts. And I enjoyed the martini service. But everything else was just ok and none of it overall justified the hype.”

“I got the sour cream and onion one as well and it was SO sweet. Additionally, I joked the chips were lays and then he pulled out the bag of lays to restock some more dishes.”

“The Corner Store's French Dip was... maybe I'm not the biggest fan of french dip, but it was overwhelmingly buttery that I had to order a mocktail to consume the whole.”
H3
“I found The Corner Store's to be particularly worth mentioning because they are of a freshness, crispiness, and thinness that I don't see often outside of south Texas, and the salt they used made them taste really unique.”

“The food is actually really good and the prices aren’t that bad. I agree the whole TikTok-y culture around it is obnoxious, but that doesn’t make the food bad. I went in wanting to roll my eyes at it all but everything I had there was awesome (the French dip in particular is incredibly good).”

“Sour cream & onion martini; caviar lobster roll and French dip are great. I thought the Caesar was gross and thought the sundae was too sweet”
