About The Amherst Corner Restaurant

The Amherst Corner Restaurant is a local joint that offers delicious food, amazing customer service, and reasonable prices. Known for its superb service, Kim has been highlighted by guests for her joy and great recommendations that enhance the dining experience. The bacon cheeseburger is cooked perfectly, and the hamburgers are big and delicious. Guests have reported that the single patty burger is the best choice, as two patties can be too much to eat at one seating. The coffee is good and hot, and the restaurant has a good variety menu with options for everyone, including vegetarian choices like different veggie burgers. Parking is available but may be tight at peak times. The restaurant has elements of a classic southern market, serving hot comfort food and offering sides like fried pickles, hush puppies, and great fried mushrooms. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming, with guests enjoying delicious ice cream in large portions. The staff is very knowledgeable about dietary restrictions, particularly gluten sensitivity and celiac, and they go out of their way to create a celiac safe meal. The kind and helpful service makes it a highly recommended spot for a meal, with many looking forward to returning for breakfast. Many visitors have noted the happy atmosphere and the freshness of the food, making it a must-visit destination.

Stopped in on a long drive home. Food was good and quickly brought out. Kim was the sweetest too! Made the visit so much better, Thanks!

We drove by and saw this little restaurant. It did NOT disappoint! The food was great! The portions were large and the staff was excellent! Can’t even say the last time I had service somewhere like this! If you are in the area stop by! You must try the Emily sauce it’s AMAZING! You won’t be disappointed with this stop!

It’s a toss-up —
the food is good but not the cheapest and it takes a while to get your order if you’re dining in.
But the staff is super friendly, the atmosphere is great, and the ice cream is amazing.
If you have some time, it’s worth stopping with your kids and/or your pooch and grabbing a bite — especially after a great hike in the area!
