corner stable

this was my first time at the corner stable. i went on a monday night and the place was packed, likely because of the rib special. there was no wait. they moved people in and out quickly though i never felt rushed. the server was very attentive, and our food came out quickly.

i ordered the barbecued chicken breast with seasonal vegetables (squash, snap peas, carrots, and broccoli) and long grain wild rice. my sister ordered the ribs with fries. we also ordered some cornbread, which was sweet.

i thought everything i had was excellent. i really enjoyed the chicken which i found very tender and tasty. my sister said the ribs were fall off the bone tender. her only critique was that her fries were somewhat limp and not at all crispy, which she prefers. the cornbread was very tasty, and the portion size was generous and enough for at least two people to share.

i did not have room for dessert, but the range of options was impressive.

the price range is a bit high for my college student budget (about $14 for each meal with the rib special, without the rib special the ribs would have been about $21). however, i had to take a to go box home, so i effectively got two meals for that price.

the atmosphere was pleasant too. though the restaurant is somewhat small, or at least has lots of seating which makes it feel small, it felt cozy instead of crowded. i appreciated that the bar area was separate from the main dining area. the building and decor were interesting, especially if you enjoy horses and horse racing.

the ladies room was clean though a bit small with two awkwardly placed stalls.

there were tvs throughout the room, but the volume was low or muted. they played no music, and the restaurant was filled with happy chatter. the noise level was pleasant.

the restaurant was decorated for the holidays and i enjoyed the tasteful holiday decorations both in the restaurant and outside the restaurant.

the parking situation is pretty bad, at least if you want to park by the restaurant. we ended up parking in the shopping center parking lot and walking just a couple of minutes to the restaurant. i would not recommend parking in their alternative parking, which is by battery warehouse, as it is further away than the shopping center parking lot.

all in all, i enjoyed this dining experience and recommend the cornerstableto anyone who enjoys good food.

old fries out. off and on i love the cornerstableribs and fries..... but now the fries dont have the same seasoning on them they had years ago! im pissed, they were great!

the cornerstableis an awesome place to eat. i am quite the rib eater and i have never had better than the cornerstableother than maybe 1 or 2 close competitors. the service is always great, and it's a nice little cozy restaurant. i would most definitely recommend this place!

best ribs ever. now cornerstablehas ruined my ability to eat rib’s anywhere else. they are fantastic. it isn’t a place big on presentation, or nice décor. you get your food in waxed paper lined plastic baskets. which that does makes sense, since most rib eaters are messy. their sauce is great, and the ribs literally fall off the bone. i always go in there with the intentions of getting something other than ribs. the farthest that has gone is me getting a salad, prior to my ribs, and occasionally i get fried shrimp, and only half a rack of ribs. the sauce is also added on the chicken, and the big eaters (mostly guys) in my family, are able to do both the ribs and chicken. if you’re a crab-cake lover, i do recommend trying it there with a half a rack of ribs. they have a nice large crab cake with little filler. it’s very consistent, but where they get their meat from, i’m unsure. the shrimp are big, and are ok. but you really can’t hold me to my judgment on fried shrimp. i’m a steamed shrimp girl, and even though i love fried food, sea-food is not one of them. i have tried all the sides, and i have opted that my favorite is the mac-n-cheese, very rich, creamy, and good. also a little know fact there is, if you ask for corn-bread, they will give it to you. it’s not on the menu, nor does the wait-staff mention it, but it is really good, and totally a different style than andy nelson’s. (which i’m very fond of.) the price is above normal fare, so you don’t often see large family’s there. if you have hungry teen-age boys, they can most certainly fill up there. the have a small bar, that a few regular’s frequent to watch games, and eat ribs. they also have keno, which i know some people love. the wait staff is generally friendly, and will humor you with the occasional joke. they are highly popular for lunch, and if you order to-go, their pretty swift about that too. the big thing they do which i think is great, you can order your own ribs from them, to take home and grill, which is very nice, if you want to entertain. overall, i will never say no to corner stable, and it is a favorite in my family. my mother, who lives 45 mins away, will quite often make her way over for some ribs. they have good food, and anything on appearance their lacking, they make up for in quality of service.

my only rib place.... i won't eat ribs anywhere else! i've been coming to cornerstableas long as i can remember and there's just no comparison anywhere else.

now cornerstablehas ruined my ability to eat rib's anywhere else. they are fantastic. their so good, for my 21st birthday, my parents gave me the choice of any restaurant in maryland or d.c, and they would take me there. i simply told my parents i wante
