Best Breakfast in Gainesville. Owner keeps the equipment up and running like it should. That definitely helps, along with the great staff

Yummiest chicken fried steak! So so fresh and tasty! If I grew up eating this and if my parents made this for me this is what I imagine good home cooking to taste like. Other dishes are pretty good too but mostly the chicken fried steak is my favorite

Chose to go "off res" on our way home from Winstar. Cute, CUTE bake shop with kick-butt plates. I had a Scrambler with toast and home fries. Full disclosure, I usually prefer hash browns, but our sweet server recommended the home fries and she was SO RIGHT! They were sliced, not chunked, so all that good pan frying got more surface area and I loved them! Hubby got the Ham Steak & Egg plate with grits and a short stack (one pancake). Grits and pancake were pretty standard, but Oh My Sweet Mother, the HAM STEAK!! Took up a whole plate of its own and about 1/2" thick! He brought half of it home and ate it the next day. Side of biscuits and gravy was also a surprise with not one, but two tall, fluffy biscuits and about a cup of creamy pepper gravy. I wish we had asked for sausage gravy -- I feel like we missed an opportunity there! Got a couple of homemade hand pies to-go for the day's drive home. Even if you're not driving home from Winstar, make a point to stop in to Cornerstone whenever you're within 20 miles. Your tummy will thank you!

Man this is a must stop if you are in Gainesville. Old time downtown restaurant. Breakfast was great and our waitress was awesome. The inside of the restaurant had an old town nostalgic feel. Definitely stop in and eat

Just had a breakfast of biscuits/gravy, egg over easy & hash browns. All acceptable. Spotless interior. My server, Jean, was a sweetheart.

I have been here for breakfast a few times. The food and service is always great. No cold coffee option on the menu is my only complaint, but overall a good place to check out.

Wheelchair accessibility: Restaurant is easy to get to in a wheel chair but the door is heavy and the handle has To be squeezed to open.

Pancakes are fantastic! Just want to rave about the pancakes! My eggs and bacon were delicious! My wife had an omelette that she enjoyed- the cheeseburger omelette, the sourdough toast was great! Service was top notch! Will definitely recommend and return again!

We hit up this Place for breakfast and it didn't disappoint. The breakfast sandwich with bacon on toast was the perfect size for a light breakfast. Service was fast, our food was delicious. The only drawback was the wait for the bathroom.
