Having long enjoyed the world's greatest burger at J.G. Melon, 76th and 3rd, I finally (after 15 years) got around to visiting the one place in town that is supposedly better, Corner Bistro. Result: big disappointment. The burger is good and worth experiencing, but it's not QUITE as good as J.G. Melon's. Corner Bistro's burger absolutely does not deserve to beat J.G. Melon's for the top spot. Melon's simply tastes better. Also Corner Bistro's burger is SO thick that it is difficult to eat. Gross.
Other than the burger of high quality, Corner Bistro has absolutely nothing to recommend it. The ambiance is really awful, a broken down old place with slanty floors and very uncomfortable seating. Retro? No, just bad. Tiny paper plates, extremely awkward. Really the cheapest paper plates they could find...awful...
Pros: A good burger
Cons: Ambiance, service, uncomfortable
