Seeking a family friendly place to have a relaxing lunch, I decided to go to downtown Lawrenceville. Even though I live just a few short miles from this wonderful area, I seldom take advantage of all of the fantastic dining, shopping, and atmosphere of this great downtown area.
There is a myriad of restauraunts in the "square". We parked and on one side of the square, we had four choices. One of which I had eaten in before and the others were mysteries. As we walked, there was a nice sign outside of the Corner Stop Cafe letting us know the days specials. When I saw mac and cheese, I knew this was the place for us.
Located in one of the historic buildings in Lawrenceville, the place is just brimming with history. Classic hardwoods adorn the floors. Country style tables and chairs perhaps bring memories of having a great meal with with family in the comfort of your home. On the wall is a banner that lets everyone know they were selected as one of the best places in Lawrenceville to eat lunch.
I got the pot roast and my spouse ordered the country fried steak. Portions were generous. You get your choice of biscuits or corn bread which make for great starters as they come in a basket. You can choose from 2 sides as well. We selected the fried okra and mashed potatoes. My daughter had the "kids' portion of mac and cheese. The size was more adult like than "kid". The portions were huge on all of our meals. We came in very hungry and left full and very satisfied.
For 3 adults and a child, lunch rang in at about $30. This included drinks as well. All in all, I give it a 5 star rating.


Brookwood graduate Amy Robach, now one of the Today Show hosts, returned to Brookwood high school to do a segment on the school. One of her classmates is now one of the teachers and her family still runs the drama department. It was great to see the contrast of how things have changed since she graduated in 1991 versus today and how things have also stayed the same. Click here for the link.
