The Corner Cafe — Restaurant in Lowell

Wow, where do I even begin with such a terrible establishment?

Upon arriving, you are greeted with a dusty, dirty, unmaintained dining area and bar. It is evident that this place is not properly maintained or cared for, as additionally indicated by the tacky word art hung crookedly on the wall. Every booth is under a vent blasting heat on a 75 degree day.

About 10 minutes after we place our order with the inattentive nepo-waitress who primarily watched tv instead of refilling our coffees like we asked, a family of 7 comes in and ends up getting served before us.

At this point we are parched from being blasted by heat and denied refills by the waitress as well as famished from the inscrutably long wait, but our food finally arrives. We are presented with a couple waffles that had the texture of cardboard and tasted of NOTHING. At least it came with a side of a diabetes! A single serving of FAKE Smuckers syrup consisting of: high fructose corn syrup, caramel color and more! This is inexcusable since real maple syrup is marginally more expensive than fake and the breakfast was unjustifiably expensive.

We ended up leaving without ever getting the refills we requested. This place does mediocracy VERY WELL. It truly was a great way to ruin our palette for the...

i don’t usually leave reviews but this place really pushed it. I went with my family to eat breakfast for easter and the food was awful. It started off when we saw another waitress pour someones old coffee mug that they didn’t finish back into the kettle after we saw that we stopped drinking the coffee and immediately put our cups to the side, we were going to leave but our food was already on the way out. We had a small child with us, 2 years of age and they brought her food out LAST (she had a kids meal) to follow that the omelette we ordered was burnt and overall questionable by the look and taste of it so we returned it and kindly explained and overall just decided not to get another meal considering the issues we already experienced. when the bill comes the charge for the omelette was there so we asked politely to have it taken off, to our surprise there was a lot of push back and questions from the manager instead of a simple apology, she was very rude to ALL of us at the table and seemed to think we just didn’t want to pay and to top everything off the photo below is a pancake I took home to go, I started to eat it and found not one but several egg shells in this pancake making it unsafe to eat. Disappointed and disgusted to say the least, I will not...

Thanks to other Google reviewers that posted about this location, we were visiting down in Chelmsford and I asked for the top five diners in that particular area and it shows the corner cafe which was actually on the way we were going to get back home. Boy am I happy we went. I had the country omelette which was sausage and onion with a sausage gravy, and usually I had to ask for extra gravy here. I did not. They did not disappoint. It was good but I think they had a little sage in it. My husband enjoyed the gravy lol and sourdough bread that I swear they must have made it homemade. It was cut like it was Italian bread but it was sourdough delicious. Nice thick cut and my husband had a bacon and chedda omelette with the home fries. They were delicious and our server. What a sweetheart. It was quiet and then they got a little busy period and she handled it with Grace. What a nice place. I personally if you're in the area. I didn't know there was parking across the street and an empty parking lot. We parked on the side of the road but park in the parking spot directly across from the restaurant 👍 and you will have a good hearty breakfast without breaking the bank. Thank you so much corner cafe. What a great morning we had because of you, especially your...
