Korner Kitchen — Restaurant in Hartwell

Open Mon-Fri 7:00am-10:30am-ISH only, regardless of what the “hours” posted on google* (or their front door & drive thru window) say. And I wouldn’t count on that, either — I pulled up to the drive thru on a recent weekday at about 10:20am to see if I could snag a quick breakfast plate. The neon “open” sign on the front door was still lit, but the drive thru had a “closed” sign in it, and the owner who staffs the window confirmed the answer was “no”. No big deal; I have learned not to have high expectations here, so I was not disappointed — just meant I had to drive a little further to grab a late breakfast that day.

*The two elderly ladies who run the joint are nice enough, and probably don’t hardly know what google is, much less how to update something. I don’t mean that in a derogatory way at all; just matter-of-fact: the Internet Age has not reached this Korner of Hartwell.

The food is OK, not bad, not the best. It’s quick and inexpensive.

The restaurant was decorated in the 1960s or 70s. It’s clean and serviceable, but if you’re looking for modern, you’re in the wrong place. No wifi.

The regular patrons are friendly and considerate.

Well this is definitely not The Ritz, but if you want a good southern style breakfast for very little money, this is your spot. Hours are very limited, I don’t think they are open on the weekend, and I think they closed at 10:30 am on day we went (Monday). However you can get 2 eggs (any style), bacon or sausage, grits and toast for

Used to love this place. Now it is just not good. I got a tomato biscuit, tomato was not the slightest bit ripe, biscuit wasn't done and had to be a frozen one. It is awful when Burger Kings frozen biscuits is better than a moms...
