Went here after a musical at the Detroit Opera House. Good atmosphere. Decent selection of drinks. Food is fried chicken in the back of the restaurant. We didn't eat, but many people were ordering and it smelled amazing. Atmosphere is like a warehouse. We enjoyed it.

Absolutely amazing food. One of the best burgers I've had in a long time. Very fast and great service.

I suggested this restaurant as it was close to The Fillmore prior to a show [IDLES]. The staff were very accommodating and made nice recommendations. I didn't have it, but people raved about the homemade chicken noodle soup including my new friend for the show. I decided to have the Salmon BLT and it was fantastic enough to the point I question if it wild even though there wasn't an indicator, but it was certainly sockeye variety. If I go to The Fillmore again instead of trying another restaurant I'm going to suggest this one again. It's an easy walk over.

We had to wait 30 minutes for a table at about 5:00 PM on a Sunday evening. There are very limited choices but what we ordered was great; mac&cheese and sliders. It’s a very small place - the staff is friendly and attentive and the prices were good. Easy walk from our hotel (Whitney).

Great food and the m-1 sidecar drink is insanely good! Nice atmosphere, great waitstaff. We sat outside and this time, last time we sat inside. Both were fine, inside was a bit warm though

First time downtown Detroit in a long time and stumbled across The Cornerstone. The service was great and we all enjoyed our meals. The Chili dog Egg roll was amazing!

Food is okay, drinks are better. Waitress was a bit short with our group, but they were very busy so she seemed overwhelmed.

This restaurant is located right on Woodward in the heart of Detroit located next to some great establishments, such as the Shinola Hotel. The seating outside was perfect during a warm evening. The service was speedy and delivered with a warming manner. If you have the pleasure of dining here, I would totally recommend the burger. This burger was one of the most flavorful burgers I've had in a long time. With it's buttery flavor and cooked to perfection and served on a warm bun. You won't put it down once you start to consume this delight. If you're in the area give this place a go and enjoy an affordable, delicious meal executed with perfection. Bon appetit!

Continuation from my previous review from the bad experience I had at Calicixipo…my bf and I walked down a couple blocks to a place called Cornerstone Barrel House and was quickly greeted by Kayln. She smiled and quickly said she will be right with us and for us to sit anywhere we wanted to. We wanted to sit outside and there was a table that needed to be cleaned off. I asked Kayln and she said (with a smile) to give her a minute and she will get it cleaned off for us. It literally took less than a minute that a man came out and cleaned off the table. I was sitting at the table I requested in less than a minute. Kayln continued to smile throughout her shift and was giving such great customer service to all the customers. She is someone who knows great customer service. It got hot outside and we came in to sit inside and Kayln smiled and said it wasn’t a problem. She brought our drinks right to us and continued to deliver great customer service. I will definitely come back to this establishment!

This is a cool spot. Drinks 5/5. Food is 4/5 only because it’s bar food vibes. Five stars is for a table cloth kind of place. If you want some TVs, great whiskey drinks, and pretty good food (great apps), this is it. Walkable from the many hotels and near the sport stadiums

Nice beer, bourbon and cocktail selection. I had the burger and fries….both were delicious. Best burger I’ve had in a while. My wife had the pineapple fried rice with chicken and she really enjoyed it

Service was excellent. Very attentive and friendly. Food was fantastic also. Definitely try the brisket sliders and cheesecake for dessert.

I was really blown away by this bar food. Fine dinner at a new level. The chicken noodle soup was the best I have ever had. Our waitress was very accommodating. The only negative thing was the meat on the loaded french fries was salty, on the positive side the meat was super tender and full of flavor. The salmon was delicious, and the pasta was full of flavor with humongous shrimp. The Cajun chicken flavor was out of this world. Great job.??

I have been to this place pre-covid when they served jalenpeno Cheddar biscuits. Man were they good!! Sharon the waitress advised that due to covid they could not keep up with their old menu. The new menus is just as good, just less the biscuits. I would recommend this place for lunch or dinner. I tried the beef short rib sliders with fries & truffle sauce. Delish! Meat was very tender & flavorful. The shrimp with angel hair pasta was really good too! The size and portion of the shrimp was pleasing. Drinks are good. Atmosphere is good and the staff is friendly. Check it out when you are in the area.
