Corner Club Tampa

The Corner Club is one of the most loveliest places I've been. I've been a frequent at the place for a long time, and I can assure you that it's more than just a building on the side of the road. The food is very tasty, and the atmosphere is cozy and comforting. You're able to come inside, grab some coffee, and do some office work if that's what you wish. Another cool feature is the outside seating, and the nice stage out there! There is this open mic night that happens every last Saturday of each month, and it was great to participate in! Over all, this establishment is wonderful, and I certainly recommend it!

This was my first time in. The owner was working and we had a nice concession as I snacked and sipped my latte. My pretzel and beer dip were very good. The pretzel was like what I ate in Germany. The latte was amazing!!

Unfortunately, we ended up leaving without eating, even though we had already paid for our food. We had a front row seat to the kitchen from the bar, and our entire group watched as our food was being prepared, including pancakes and sandwiches, without gloves. At one point, we could clearly see her palming our food with bare hands. It immediately made us uncomfortable and made me lose my appetite. The food itself was also disappointing. The BLTs we ordered came out as just LTs. The breakfast sandwich was simply two stale biscuits with nothing on them. For the price, I would have expected a much better overall experience. The space itself is cute, which makes this even more unfortunate. I never leave bad reviews, but I felt it was important to flag these issues. Cleanliness, accuracy, and basic food quality are reasonable expectations. I hope this feedback is taken seriously so future customers have a better experience.

I recently visited with a friend during a midweek lunch and was really looking forward to trying this place based on the positive reviews. Unfortunately, the experience was underwhelming from start to finish. When we arrived around lunchtime, the parking lot was empty and the restaurant had no guests inside. We waited about a minute before a server came over to greet us. We ordered a variety of items to get a good feel for the menu — hummus, fish dip, two French onion soups, a salad, and a breakfast biscuit. If I had to describe the food in one word, it would be underwhelming. The appetizer portions were very small, presentation across the board was lacking, and most importantly, the food just didn’t taste good. The French onion soup was especially disappointing — it had shredded cheese that melted to the bottom with no traditional bread and melted cheesy topping, which I’ve honestly never seen before. Once our food was delivered, our server never checked back in, which made us wonder if he was already aware of the quality being served. The overall experience just felt flat and disappointing. This might be a decent spot to grab a drink in the evening, but based on our visit, I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re looking for quality food or a memorable dining experience.

Corner Club is the story of a local Dive bar reborn as a lively open air welcoming local eatery, coffee bar, and weekly cozy events place catering to locals of Old Seminole Heights neighborhood of Tampa. Corner Club has a limited menu but each item on their thoughtfully crafted menu is made with heart and pride. The menu offers coffee, cocktails, mock tails, wine, breakfast items (quiche, biscuits, pancakes, toast), lunch items (bratwurst, pretzel rolls, pizza, sandwiches, wings, burgers) The space has plenty of indoor seating, a small game room, and a decent sized backyard patio with covered seating and a small stage. The staff are very welcoming and it's a great space to hang out with friends for conversations over yummy dishes. I tired their Strawberry Jalapeño Margarita which tasted like a combination of strawberry fizz with jalapeño tequila. This drink isn't for everyone. It was decent but somehow the combination weren't my favorite. I also had their Smoked Bratwurst - pork sausage, tepache mustard in a pretzel roll. This was by far one of great tasting bratwurst I've had in a while. The hot bratwurst wrapped in warm pretzel roll had a perfect balance of meaty glutinous taste. The mustard added a little bite as aftertaste. A great item to order. My side of Papas Bravas - Spanish style potatoes w/ paprika, aioli, scallion was a perfect combination to my bratwurst. The potatoes were slightly crusty on the outside while being moist inside. The paprika added the visually striking color and the aioli added a creamy finish to each bite. This is a must have when visiting Corner Club. This place is a hidden neighborhood gem. If you are not local to the neighborhood, you might find it to be in the middle of nowhere. I think the location adds appeal to the history and legacy of corner club.
