Wait time for beer, apps, & entrees was a bit long. Â When entree arrived, it was cold. Took a bit to re-heat in a microwave or something. Â Debated whether or not to return it: should I wait 20 more mins while drinking beer and watching my companions finish off their platter only to be re-served a tepid entree I'd end up asking for to-go anyway?
Das Boot beer was not quite worth the wait - giant beer, but glasses stored above the bar on customer-facing ledge and I had at least 2 dead fruit flies on my glass rim.
High hopes dashed. Â So close to acceptable. Â Won't be back for a meal, maybe the bakery. Â But probably not. Â And it's a shame since I'm at Stone Mountain Park all the time.
$65/person with tip. Â Never again.
Desperate for a good local breakfast we keep giving this independent a try. Upon seating we overheard the party at the adjacent table discussing the aftertaste in the Iced Tea. I thought they said the word "soap" . They proceeded to pass the offensive beverage around the table and there was general agreement and the reuse of the word "soap".
The server wandered back into the room and the victim at the next table handed her the Iced Tea, indicating the presence of a noticeable detergent flavoring. She ventured over to our table and obtained our order. Simple-two eggs over medium, bacon, cheese grits and sour dough toast. Â I ordered coffee and my wife water.
The reluctant server returned to inform the Iced Tea drinkers that she had started brewing a new cauldron of tea. She mentioned that she had also tasted the tea and found it to be "Soapy"-she turned around burped twice and filled the room with bubbles. My wife whispered something about the ambiance.
My coffee arrived but I discovered that it was "southern pecan flavored" , really? Wouldn't you inform the guest prior to "surprising" him. Oh I get it, Â its a way of adding some down home southern charm to the menu.
But, I have never met a natural pecan flavoring and generally abstain but now I am suspicious that folks are trying conceal  the "soap" taste in the coffee with pecan flavoring.
Our food arrived, the eggs were over cooked and the sour dough toast was room temp (it was a cool morning)
The cheese grits were not immediately discernible. There was a thick mass of cheddery looking stuff on the top
but what was underneath was unlike any grits this southerner has previously experienced. Actually, I am not quite sure that there was corn involved. It was more like a tasteless "mash" of some unidentifiable grain-like substance. Come to think of it, the rubbery orange mass on top of the so called grits had no taste either. Â Neither of us ate the grits or finished the eggs. The formerly attentive server never returned to refill my coffee so I picked up my water, took a sip only to notice a nasty brown smudge on the glass approximately one inch by two inches. . . . . We left abruptly. Â The pleasant cashier listened to our story and accepted the glass of water with the nasty smudge on it and our money. She indicated that she would inform the manager. Really, you cannot make this stuff up.
The Village Corner is a German restaurant... no... a German tavern... well, no... Â a German Bakery......... aw heck, it's all three!
Our first time in, the missus and I hit the patio... just munched a little, had a beer, and caroused their bakery (walking out with some homemade bread and freshly roasted coffee). Â We vowed to come back and try the restaurant and/or bar.
The right time came (by that, I mean the right wife craving came), and we headed in to belly up at the bar!
They've got 10 drafts of all German stuff - and they generally serve them all in their proper glassware. Â They've also got 20-something bottles that are a mixture of European and American craft brews. Â There wasn't anything we hadn't had before, but the list was very well done - obviously by someone who loves their beer.
This last time in, we decided we needed to try their German sausage platter... and were very impressed with everything on it! Â It came with Bratwurst, Weisswurst, Knackwurst, Frikadellen... and...... well, I forgot the other one. Â It was all extremely tasty, cooked properly, and very legit. Â It came with sauerkraut and potatoes that were nicely done, too (the kraut wasn't that pickled canned garbage a lot of places will throw on your plate).
Add in some friendly, chatty service and this place continues to be a winner! Â Note one thing, if you're making the trek -- the prices aren't at typical pub levels... they're a bit higher - but so is the quality of their grub. Â I'd say this place is a must to eat and get some baked goods, but if you're just headed out for a beer, you can probably do better for cheaper.
Prost!
Went in for lunch and took a seat, since the sign said seat yourself. My girlfriend and I waited for a few minutes and a few waitresses walked by and asked if we were being helped and we said no. Finally had to get our own menus off of another table and took about 15 minutes for a server to come and get our order. He didn't know much about the menu, didn't even know if the soups were home made or not, how could you not know that and be a server? That's embarrassing. We finally got our soup and sandwich and it was nothing special. We waited a while for our check while the server was sitting down with another table and talking for a good 10 minutes. This place seemed extremely disorganized and the servers need to be better educated on the menu and a better personality. The bathroom smelled bad, no handsoap and was not clean. We had a scoutmob and our meal was half off. Otherwise, I wouldn't of paid for the meal and gotten a manager. It was that bad...
Would never go back and you should not try this place.
The Village Corner is a German themed restaurant and tavern located within walking distance of Stone Mountain Park. It is a physically large establishment, perhaps more so than necessary, with outdoor seating available on both sides and a fairly decent bar on one end.
The atmosphere is quite good, with as mentioned two discrete outdoor seating areas and two other cozy rooms that would be nice for a birthday or private party. The service is about par for the course. I've visited this establishment three times, and each time had to request some minor correction to the order or bill, but this was done promptly and courteously.
The menu is large, offering a wide array of selections, but not so large such that the choices become overwhelming and confusing. I recommend the pretzel as an appetizer, which is perfect salty deliciousness served with an outstanding wholegrain mustard (which is available for purchase), along with delectable and awesome pastries at the front of the restaurant.
I've ordered the Jaeger Schitznel each time. For those of you not familiar with the dish, it's a breaded, beaten, fried boneless pork cutlet topped with a savory mushroom sauce, served with Bavarian Spatzel and Red Cabbage. Â Pork generally isn't considered the most tender meat by most, but this schnitzel is crispy and falls apart in your mouth.
The beer selection is fairly extensive, featuring brews hard to find elsewhere in Atlanta. Especially recommended is the Bananaweizen, which is precisely what it sounds like, a banana flavored beer.
The food, appetizers, pastries and beer all put The Village Corner solidly into four star territory. However, a serious infraction was committed that caused me to deduct one star. This is the sharing fee on entrees. I understand that some restaurants do this, but it isn't necessary, is by no means ubiquitous, and completely obnoxious and overall a great way to annoy patrons.
Cons: the "sharing fee", as mentioned. The Village Corner is by no means overpriced, but probably not the best place to go if you're looking for a cheap dinner or lunch.
Pros: Great food, decent outdoor seating area, delicious pastries and mustard for sell at the front of the restaurant.
Verdict: Recommended.
Came here for dinner with another couple on a Friday night. It wasn't busy at all and we were seated right away. We didn't realize until we'd ordered that the place is on Scoutmob-what an awesome surprise! Â Our waitress was great and gave us several beer recommendations since we weren't familiar with the German offerings. Our food came out quickly and all four of us cleaned our plates. We ordered the veggie burger, reuben, schnitzel sandwich and pork and kraut special. Everyone really enjoyed their meals. Â So much so that we were too full to order dessert. That's my only regret. Â On the way in and out you pass by the bakery and can see all their delicious-looking desserts. Â Next time I'll definitely have to save room for some baklava or cake!
Review Source:I chose to eat here because I really wanted spaetzle and the reviews looked really good.
I was utterly disappointed in the spaetzle. It was like eating boxed Thanksgiving stuffing: very bread-like and not much flavor. Didn't look like they'd been sauteed after boiling - there was no color to the noodles. The chopped bacon in the noodles was probably the best part, very sad, aw........
Definitely recommend the Ruben sandwich - the corned beef was absolutely amazing!!!!! It comes with a potato salad that I would rate as 'okay', nothing to write home about. If you get a side of chips, know that they are fresh and really fantastic (they're extra delicious for me to recommend them - I usually don't like fresh chips).
I took a sip of the tomato basil soup and I really liked it. It is a vegetable soup (lots of veggies) with a very strong, smooth tomato/basil flavor. Yay!
On the way out, you should stop by the dessert area! The bear claw I got was *so* good! Very cinnamon-y and loaded with walnuts, mmmmm! I also highly recommend  the wedding cookies.
I saw a lot of online praise for the baklava, but that was only so-so for me. Too sweet! I know, I know, that is kinda the point of this pastry but I have eaten not-so-sweet versions that are more my style. I might as well have just eaten a large spoonful of honey - the honey taste was too overpowering.
We were seated quickly and the food came out in a timely manner. Cool.
Overall a quaint spot that I would definitely come back to (with minor caveats on menu items to avoid).
Took my mother for an Authentic German Lunch..... Fasting,I continue to live vicariously through others. Â
The Village Corner is the only German restaurant that I have ever encountered in the U.S that offers a genuine German quality and flavor. Â I eat there quite frequently. Â The owners are very cordial and my favorite waitress (Brie) is very knowledgeable about the menu and Biers. Â
My mother enjoyed the Zitronnen Schnitzel accompanied by rot kraut and spaetzle. Past experience speaking, they make it just like my grandmother! Â Delicious!
My mother had a Giant Hot Pretzel for starters...make sure they serve you butter (both warm and cold). Â Otherwise, you just aren't experiencing like in Germany. Â She chose to wash it down with a Warsteiner, although The Village offers several Imports. Â
My personal fav is a Bottle of Riesling, I'm a touch too wimpy for the German BIers.
If you are in Atlanta and want to taste German *Wie ins Deutschland, you must visit The Corner Village in Stone Mountain. Â Ask for Brie and start off with a Pretzel! Prost!!!
I am giving The Village Two thumbs up for Atmosphere and efficient service. Â The food comes out quick and I love the decor, reminds me of the Haufbrauhaus' in Germany!
A great place! I love the atmosphere and decor. The food was good (not AMAZING) and the beer was yum. Overall, though, the prices are just too high for the area, the portion size and the quality of what you get. I'll probably be back, but I have a hard time justifying paying $13 for a lunch schnitzel plate that small and un-filling. I probably could have eaten two! Maybe I'll try to order something else next time or wait until they have some kind of special going?
Review Source:Actually I'd mark this as 2.5 but that isn't an option so I'll go for 3. Â Â This place has gorgeous pastries that don't quite make it on the taste meter. Â We had the strawberry rubarb pie and I am very nearly certain that it was canned. Too, the crust had that icebox flavor that is hard to miss.
Prior to that we had a bit of lunch. Â I had the ruben sandwich. Â My friend had the vegetarian burger (although I don't know why). Â Anyhow, the corned beef is interesting but for $10 it occupied only 1/4 of the standwich. Â The rest was sauerkraut and russian dressing. Â A bit greasy for my taste. Â The German potato salad which accompanied it was not quite up to par either. Â It tasted like they used a mashing potato and cooked it til it was nearly mashed. Â Not a bad flavor but not exactly what I've come to expect from my visits to Deutschland. Â The pickle was good and it wouldn't surprise me if they did it themselves.
The vege burger was simply ok. Â Up against a Boca Burger the Boca wins. Â That dish came with a noodles (a bit redundant of starch given that there is bread and starch in the burger). Â This item was $9.00
Ambiance was potentially darling. Â The place seems popular for afternoon tea and kuchen. Â Pricey for what is served, however. Â But that is only my opinion.
It's hard to find German food anywhere, and it's nice to find good German food when you do. And the fact that The Village Corner evokes the feeling of a real Bavarian restaurant is even better.
The Jaeger Schnitzel (breaded pork loin cutlet pan saute and topped with mushroom red wine sauce) is delicious. They flatten the pork and saute it until a nearly perfect crust forms. The mushroom wine sauce is incredibly savory. Mmmm. Spaetzle (basically a type of noodle) and red cabbage come on the side, but I substitute the red cabbage for German potato salad. Definitely try the amazing, authentic German potato salad.
I've never sampled anything from the bakery but everything looks good. The only downside is a slight uncleanliness factor. Nothing atrocious, but my silverware has looked dingy and, on the latest visit, my sweet tea tasted a little funny--like maybe the glass had not been washed well. Other than that, The Village Corner is a super cute place with great food, decent service, and a fun atmosphere.
Meh sums it up. Â Went in looking for German food, ended up just finding country food with a German twang. Â Its actually not a bad place, just disappointed because we were really hoping to find some place legit. Â The lady that runs it is though, we spoke to her for a bit. Â Its just that its more southern food to Bavarian.
Review Source:If you love pastries and any other sweet treat, you've gotta try this place. They had some of the best baklava I've had in a long time. I met there for business, but after seeing the truly crazy amount of fresh desserts they had on display, I had to get a box of just about everything. Their pastry selection is insane.
You've gotta try: the baklava, wedding cookies, lemon squares, cannolis, oatmeal cookies.
Such a cute little place, decorated like a German pub. Its really, REALLY far out for me to drive, but I would. I really would drive out here just for the baklava. It was to die for.
Yes!!!! German food in all it's glory. My lady has discussed this place since we met and we finally made the pull to go and eat. Arriving on a Sunday at 12:20pm I was surprised to find it semi empty, but it quickly filled in after we got seated. Parking is easy out front if you get in early, otherwise you maybe have to drive a bit, we didn't really survey the other options. The bakery is well filled with lots of glorious breads and cakes, enough to make you stop and look around.
We got the brunch menu, limited a little but still packed, and a beer menu for the 10 minutes later and looked over them both. Lots of good German beers here, a lot on draft and in 20oz pours, the others in bottles are mostly 17oz choices and all good too. Wine selection is good as well.
I ordered the crazy 'sausage for two' meal which is basically five types of sausage on a tray of sides, and holy hell is it a LOT of food. I ate for an hour and never broke into half the tray. Soooo good too, knackwurst, bratwurst, weisswurst, and two other weird ones that tasted great. Russet potatoes to die for and spaetzle that melts in your mouth. Yum.
Pricey for sure, but for authentic food in a friendly, warm place, I'll pay it.
German beer- check. Â German food- check. Â Authentic- pretty close to it!
It is nice to have a German place in the city- I just wish it was closer to Alpahretta.
They also have a drink here- called underberg- it is a digestif I have only seen here- you have GOT TO TRY IT!
I would recomend to sit at the bar, as my photo suggests...
I pass this place every time I head to Stone Mountain. I finally went. I arrived at 11 AM and they were only serving breakfast. The breakfast was not anything life-changing but it was good. The German Apple Pancake was a foot in diameter, generously loaded with Granny apples, cinnamon, whipped cream, and syrup. Bacon was good. But the best part of the meal: the side of bratwurst. Darn good bratwurst, best since probably Miller Park in Milwaukee (it makes sense, that's the same ballpark where they race humans dressed as sausages). I will purposely start my hikes later in the morning so I can try the lunch menu. We may be on to something ... (Random visual: Image one of those Milwaukee sausage mascots hiking up Stone Mountain. THAT would be hilarious.)
Review Source:NEVER AGAIN. We went there for my friend Joel's birthday dinner on sunday and everything went great except for a little mishap while eating our meal. A woman which we assumed is the owner threatened to throw the birthday boy's cake away and i bet she was joking(i hope so). We were kinda confused but being a good yelper, i read reviews before going here so I figured she made the statement because they apparently have a good bakery here. No biggie. Then a convo went on between Joel and the owner about a Polish dessert and she was like "oh i know all about Polish food and I've never heard of that". Then she suddenly remembers and says "aaah i know exactly what you're talking about but it's spelled and pronounced blablablabla" which was the SAME spelling and pronunciation Joel told her.
After the awkward moment, we get the cake out of the box and are ready to sing happy birthday and cut the cake. BUT hold on, Joel asked for the waitress because apparently, he gave her $25 cash and asked her to put the rest on the card BUT THE GIRL PUT EVERYTHING ON THE CARD AND POCKETED THE $25 CASH. She offered to void the transaction and re-do but he was worried because a "void after" takes a few days and when she runs the card again, the 2nd transaction might not go through. Then Joel asks for his $25 back ... she gave it back with an attitude and says "let me know if you need anything" and leaves the room. Then they turned the lights OFF.
At that point, the birthday boy was just upset and we put the cake back without singing and just finished our conversation outside. Im wondering why the waitress would think someone would give her a $25 tip on like, a $40 bill. And he did tell her how he wanted her to apply it so that was really presumptuous of the girl.
As for the food, it was mediocre and It was not worth driving all the way to Stone Mountain for. I got the Salmon with rice and you betcha anyone can make that if they have a recipe. They have escargot on their menu for those that like it(like me) but I didn't order because my friends were grossed out by the thought of it. LOL
I'm also on a quest to find a good German Restaurant! So this was recommended by a friend, so I took the long journey out to Stone Mountain to give it a try.
The pastries are the best part of this entire restaurant, well and the beer of course!
They have the best selection of German foods I've seen so far in Atlanta but I feel the tastes were all the same and kinda bland overall. with one exception the German Bratwurst was perfect
This is not the first time my husband and I have been here and I'm aware of the negative reviews, but we have always been lucky with the service here. Maybe it's because we don't go expecting much in the first place.
We went last night while the Yellow Daisy festival was on at Stone Mountain so there were about 10 people waiting for the second dining room to open. We just asked if we could sit at the bar and went right in. I do believe that they tend to under staff but the servers apologized for the delay in opening the other dining room and later we heard a server apologize to a customer for the delay in bringing his food. Bottom line: if you're in a hurry don't go there.
There are plenty of things to do while you wait - drink and talk to the other bar patrons. We both enjoyed Warsteiner Dunkle on tap. 20 oz for $5 - awesome price. Enjoy the reasonably volumed live music (only on certain occasions, subscribe to their newsletter for info). You can also shop at the bakery - incredible cookies (I get a platter of them every Christmas), breads, and cakes.
I ordered the Jaeger Schnitzel (Wiener schnitzel with red wine mushroom sauce, spaetzle, and red cabbage) and my husband ordered the Schwein Haxe (braised pork shank with gravy, mashed potatoes and red cabbage). My entree was amazing especially the sauce. My husband's review of the Schwein Haxe: Fall off the bone tender and the mashed potatoes are the perfect texture - not too smooth, not too lumpy. Although the entrees were not cheap ($17-18), the generous portions mean we took half home for Sunday lunch today so I consider it a bargain. German food tends to be a little on the heavy side so order accordingly.
My review is a little lengthy but I wanted to accurately reflect my experience there given the variability of the reviews here and besides I'm high on Gingerbread Cookie men from the Village Corner. Prost!!
That's it! Â I've had enough....
I've been to this place seven times and have only eaten there four. Â Two of those times, I was ignored by the hostess for more than fifteen minutes to be seated. Â If the hostess would have had the courtesy to say "hey I'll be with you in a minute" things would have been cool and I would have waited longer before walking out. Â Making eye contact with me and then walking the other way to do something else several times is unacceptable.
Because I love German food and this place isn't far from my home I kept trying.  Another occasion I had taken three guests.  We waited, and waited, and waited, the only people waiting to be seated.  They weren't busy, a very small band was playing in the bar that evening so it was loud but not unbearable.  When the hostess finally decided to stop hanging out at the bar she tried to seat us right next to the band.  One of my guests asked her if we could be seated further away because he wouldn't be able to hear any conversation.  She said "no this is the only table we have" plopped the menus down and walked away.  There where at least 8 other tables that would have easily accommodated us  further away.  My guests being upset by the way the hostess was acting didn't even sit down, there was an unspoken signal given as we all turned and walked out.
Now onto the times I've actually been able to eat there.
I absolutely CAN NOT complain about the food. Â They make a stellar Rouladen, and a orgasmic Sauerbraten and what I've had of the sausages aren't bad either.
Village Corner has a beautiful restaurant and patio, as big as the place is it is very cozy feeling, kinda like sitting at grandma's house.
But the service, is miserable at best and almost qualifies as service from hell. Â I made a final trip to Village Corner last night and said goodbye to them with one of my favorite dishes. Â Once again it was a lot of bad service and a lot of good food. Â Next time I get a hankering for German I'll make a trip to Helen, GA and visit some of their German eating establishments but as far as the Village Corner it no longer exists.
Though I am an Atlanta native, I did live in Karlsruhe, Germany for three years while serving in the military, and I grew to love German cuisine. Â The two most well-known German establishments in the Atlanta metro area are Kurts in Duluth and The Village Corner in Stone Mountain. Â They are both excellent establishments, serving authentic German fare for reasonable prices.
The Village Corner, run by Claus and Hilde Friese, has been in business since the early 70s, and it has become a Stone Mountain landmark for those of us who reside in the area. Â Visitors come and go, stopping in to rest on the patio with tall beers and brochen and leave with boxes and bags full of the baked wonders from the bakery.
Of their dishes, my personal favorites are the Rouladen, often called Rindsrouladen in Germany, basically beef rolls - bacon, onions, mustard, and pickles wrapped in thinly-sliced beef with a wonderous red wine gravy served with red cabbage and Spaetzle; the Jaeger Schnitzel, scalloped and lightly-breaded pork with red wine sauce; and the Sauerbraten.
On other days, we often enjoy sharing the European Sandwich Platter for two, which offers a bountiful selection of freshly-baked breads, turkey, salami, and Black Forest ham with all the fixings to build your own delights. Â
The bakery is incredible. Hilde has a Granny Apple Cheesecake baked on a pound cake base that is to die for. Â I am a fairly proficient baker, Â and this is the only cake I ever buy.
I am so thankful to live right down the street from The Village Corner, it's like having a little piece of Germany right in my hometown.
"After we climb Stone Mountain, what do you want to do?" she asked.
"How about we eat 20 pounds of German sausage?" I replied. I meant it as a joke. She (nor James H.) took it as one. Thus began our ill-advised trip to the Village Corner.
It actually wasn't so bad, as far as eating German food after walking uphill until your heart burst goes. Â Granted, it was a beautiful Spring day, flowers in bloom and I was too tired to make food decisions. I was even too tired to make puntastic comments like "I've never sausage a place before! I expected wurst!" This was fine, because I'm sure the folks at the Village Corner have heard it all a million times; I mean, nobody does comedy like the Germans.
We were seated on the porch. Though the beer beckoned, we all refrained and instead ordered Cokes (sorry, no Coke. Pepsi!) Sorry, PEPSI. Oh we also ordered some schnitzel, a sausage plate and a giant pretzel. When the food arrived, it was a veritable sausage party. We were shocked by the size and variety. It was more sausage than anyone of us could put in our mouths at any one time. Â Our threesome could barely handle this much sausage. (OK, am I done with the sausage jokes yet? No? Fine. "That's what she said!" Â THERE. Now am I done? No? Try this: "Penis." OK, NOW I'm done.)
There were 3 different types of sausage. The brats were the best. The knocks? Fine, but nothing too crazy. There was some weird burger thing that I don't know was authentically German or not, but it had some longass name with lots of consonants in it. The potatoes were crispy, the sauerkraut tangy. The schnitzel was lemony and buttery, but make sure to eat it quick, lest the butter sauce congeal into something less than appetizing. The pretzel was good, but wasn't as sublime as you'd think a bakery would offer.
In all, everything was fine. That doesn't sound like a ringing endorsement and I guess it's not. But I think it's more of a function us eating German (or more specifically Bavarian) food. Even when it's good, it's just ok. But roll in the workman-like (but not exactly memorable) service and the fact that we didn't (though probably should have) try any sweets, and this review averages out to 3.5 stars rounded down to 3.
Not bad for a German restaurant in Atlanta, Ga. The night we went it was trivia night and they were short staffed. The food took a while. But the owner was out there making it happen as best he could. I liked the Gruyere Spaetzle and the Sauerbraten just OK. You can buy pastry and cookies at their shop near the entry.
Review Source:I lived in Germany before moving back to the states to begin highschool and have had a hard time finding an authentic German restaurant ever since. Â My experience in Helen was quite horrifying as the waitress in some odd "German" burlesque outfit tried sadly to pronounce spaetzle. Anyway, the food at the Village Corner is pretty decent and the beer selection is wonderful. Â The service can be pretty poor as you have to wave down a server as they will not check on you unless you do, but, as I said, it is authentically German. Â Germans are known for their engineering, beer, and Oktoberfest, not customer service. Â I would definitely recommend giving it a try. Â The Jaeger Schnitzel and a nice large glass of Spaaten Optimator are a perfect combination.
Review Source:Delicious food, 8 German beers + Pilsner Urquell on tap, many bottles. Authentic German atmosphere, transported to southern US. Â Three words: Â Schweine Haxe, ausgezeitnet! Â
I lived in Germany years ago and wanted to like this place. Â Made two stops in one day while in town for conference. First was for an afternoon beer and pretzel. Tasty and big! That evening for dinner Herr Claus recommended a bottled German beer I'd never heard of along with the Tagesgericht, Schweine Haxe, aka osso bucco. Â It was extremely good. Â Marzipan from the bakery was excellent too.
Looks very authentic from the outside and is equally authentic inside. Â It feels like being in a bar in Germany -- well, where everyone speaks English and many with a southern accent.... Â Claus and bartender Amy were very friendly and welcoming. Â In the evening a group of regulars sat at the bar and chatted with me. Â There are some negative reviews, but take a chance and give The Village Corner a try!
I've been here enough times to see the good and bad in the reviews I've read. On a good day, you''ll be very glad you came. Especially if your party enjoys German beer and hearty food. When I took my man here to show him that we DO have some good places in this area, it fell flat. The letters on the sign outside must have been rearranged by some hooligan, because to us it read "Tonight Prime Rib". We inquired and our waitress practically called me a liar and went outside herself to check. She then came back and informed me that that was last night. Â I think i made her mad- I knew what was in for me the rest of the evening.
The German beer selection is quite good and authentic. The schnitzel and spaetzle have always made my tummy happy, but I think it will be a bit before I can talk him into coming back.
Maybe they need a fresh manager as the owners seem burned out on the "service" part of the business. For the community's sake, I hope they find a new outlook!
I've passed by this place before thinking "oh how quaint!" and this time I actually stopped in. I am glad that I did! It was a really good restaurant. Everyone enjoyed their meals thoroughly. The spaetzel (sp?) looked delicious although I did not get it. My quiche was also delicious. Also, we went to check out at the register and I just got enticed by all the delicious sweets. I had a shortbread with ganache and it just melted in my mouth. When I go to stone mountain next, I will definitely have lunch here.
Review Source:Oh man oh man is this place full of fried! Â So after walking up Stone Mountain while it was dry we were forced to walk back down it while it was raining. Â My mom's shoes had no traction, and it was pretty awful to watch her fall THREE separate times and bounce on her butt. Â
Needless to say by the time we got down we were wet and on the verge of tears, she was bruised, and we were starving. Â I would say that the experience at The Village Corner was average. Â I had the potato pancakes, which was actually just a nice way of saying overly-fried hash browns. Â My husband had a pretty tasteless and extremely pale beige sausage with his excessively large omelet. Â
The waiter was super-nervous, but he was able to describe each different sausage in minute detail, so I guess that was a plus.
All in all, next time I get soaking wet and slip down Stone Mountain, I'll probably try somewhere else.
Solid German food in a town that just don't have any Teutonic soul.
Located in the "city" of Stone Mountain, this restaurant has been making a go for 20ish years now. Â There is an adjacent bakery which seems to do decent business, but the restaurant is the draw for me. Â A thorough German menu, schnitzels and the like, and a pretty good wurstplatte also. Â The Jagerschnitzel was as good as I've had anywhere, in USA at least. Â Wine selection is also good, and they have several German biers on tap. Â They sometimes engage a loungy piano man on the weekends, but the overall noise level was tolerable. Â Service was a bit slow, but not enough to make me grumble... might have been schnitzel-induced lethargy though.
We live a hop, skip and a jump from the "German bakery" and we're glad we do. We've enjoyed dinner here, stopped by for a German beer at the bar, frequent the bakery weekly but our favorite is having sunday brunch here.
Their brunch menu varies but usual fares are German pancakes (the size of a plate), stuffed French toast, steak & eggs, the best biscuits, schnitzel, a choose 3 salads plate, all kinds of yummy food.
The bakery is woooonderful. All the breads are made from natural ingredients - no preserves. The apple bread is my favorite. The selection of cakes, cookies, tarts, pies - oh my! My thighs just grow looking at all that yummy stuff. They offer flavored coffee - whole beans or pre-ground. My favorite is Southern pecan. This is served in the restaurant, as well.
Service is usually pretty good. We've had slow but most of the time it's attentive and personable.
Some of the best German food I've ever had. The prices are a bit steep, with entres averaging $15-20, but absolutely worth it. This is ideal comfort food, ample in portion and rich in butter, salt and cream. After a stressful day of moving this is just the break we needed. The ribeye steak was huge, about the size of two average steaks together, and cooked and seasoned perfectly. One of the few times I've been pleasantly surprised by a restaurant steak. The few different varieties of schnitzel are all pork, not veal, and are tender and richly sauced. A well-rounded selection of good German beers, wines and liqueurs complete the meal. Service is a bit slow, but gracious and casual. I haven't yet had a chance to try the bakery products, but they sure are fun to look at.
