The Corner Tavern

From the outside it looked nice but the inside was disgusting. The service was deplorable. I asked to speak to the owner. Out came a man who addressed himself as «Bill». Bill was incredibly rude and im pretty sure he was just a cook. Ownership needs to clean house. Ill never put myself through the torture that is dinner at this establishment again.

Last night was the second time dining here over the past 2 months, it was my last! Our server Tessa was the only thing good about the evening, she was attentive and pleasant, however other servers were witnessed EATING bread as they were slicing it! The food was terrible to say the least… over priced and lacked style, taste and quality! It tasted like it came right off of the Sysco truck! They line cook preparing the food needs to TASTE the food before its sent to the table. There was NO flavor, NO eye appeal and the price did not reflect the food received. I did not report the concerns as to not to offend the guest I brought and ruin our evening however a call to the owner will be made today, not that it will make a difference! The tri-​pepper calamari appetizer was greasy! The LITTLE neck clams (empasis on LITTLE! as in BABY) were drowning in some type of faux butter and garlic sauce. The house salad was rusty and had one small tomato wedge, one black olive and one cucumber slice! The soup and salad was immediately followed by the appetizers which were immiediately followed by the dinners! The table was overflowing with plates with no time in between one course to the next (mind you the restaurant was almost empty and now I know why!). The «Dijon Encrusted Salmon» was merely a small piece of poorly cooked fish with some plain white breadcrumbs thrown on top and a splash of some type of sauce barely drizzled on top with some parsley tossed over it, served with a side plate of broccoli. The Veal Saparito resembled a slurry of small pieces of meat smothered in way too much sauce that again lacked flavor. You couldn’t have given me a free dessert… I couldn’t wait to leave.
All in all, shame me once, shame on me… shame me twice, SHAME ON YOU! An embarrassing waste of money and an evening!

The worst meal ever, terrible customer service would never go back. Over priced and lousy food and poorly prepared

The drinks were great! The food was plentiful and terrific! I especially enjoyed the bruschetta appetizer. Bring your appetite the food is huge. Oh yeah one more thing pumpkin spice martini that is all.

I came in for dinner with my son. The food was grossly over priced and service was awful. There were ants running from my burger and when i pointed it out, the «manager» kicked us out and taught my son the f word. Never coming back!!!

I gave this place another try with about the same result. I walked in and had to find myself a server, who gave me a cool reception (why would she ever smile at her job, after all?). I didn’t get a drink for about ten minutes, when it finally came with my food. The food was hot and pretty good like last time, though I guess I have a different definition of «battered» (let alone «beer-​battered») than the cook. My fish definitely looked and tasted breaded, not as it was advertised. Not a huge deal, but I honestly would’ve ordered something else if I’d just known how the fish would really be prepared. Then, to top it all off, there was another disturbance at the bar. After the second time with this problem, I guess it’s best to ask for a seat in the dinng room away from the bar. If the waitress can be bothered, of course. This time it was some guy going on pretty loudly about getting him some women. Could count it as live entertainment, right? Even so, I was ready to leave and not look back. I can go elsewhere for the same or lower prices with far better service and more quiet.

Tonight i had the smothered chicken which consists of a creamy Parmesan sauce with portobello mushrooms roasted red peppers and black olives over two chicken breasts and absolutely delicious dinner I also had the cheeseburger soup which was the best soup I’ve ever had this seems to be our go to restaurant in Newark

Very nice restaurant /​bar. Great food, depending on what you have some items are a little pricey. But all good. Friendly atmosphere, good service. Been here before and will be back.

Not a whole lot of decent choices in the area, but after trying most, I find myself coming back here more often.
I recommend their salads. The portions are sufficient, they are made fresh to order and are very delicious. My favorite is the southwestern salad or the Greek salad. I usually get it with grilled chicken which has always come out hot and moist, never dry.
They usually have daily specials which is also recommended to try.
I don’t care for their pizzas. The crusts taste as though they are premade and I am pretty sure that they are.
I usually sit in one of the booths on the bar side and have never sat in the dining area on the other side of the restaurant. That may explain my experiences with their fairly attentive service which differs from some of the other reviews. I have found the waitresses to be diligent with the refills and knowledgeable with the menu/​specials.
Parking is plentiful in their parking lot.

Looking for typical American Classics/​American Cuisine? Then, you’ve found it! I’ve been here a couple times and the food is average, nothing to keep one coming back for. The atmosphere is somewhat dark and more like a diner. The servers get the job done.

Great food, reasonable prices, Yummy Prime Rib every night! They have done some updating lately that really loks great as well!

I travel to Newark frequently for business. And, this place is an OASIS in what is a small town area with limited choices. The food here is absolutely incredible. You’ll think you’re at a high end restaurant. Try the calamari and the Veal Parm. Simply to die for. Salads, service and drinks are fantastic too!
