Gg's Corner Cafe — Restaurant in Marion

Review: Gg's Corner Cafe

129 W San Antonio St, Marion, TX 78124

This is a staple in Marion and although I've eaten at this spot on multiple occasions, my review reflects this day.

Onto the Food:

Breaded Bone-In Chicken Wings (Drums 6.5) and (Flats 8): First, love breaded wings. Second, I love flats. The drumsticks were not as tender as the flats. I tried ordering flats only, but they were not able to accommodate. The Ranch Dressing (7.5).

Chili (7.5): I ordered a cup. I enjoy eating chili with no beans. This spot has just that. I added Cheese and Onions for an extra charge.

Okra (6) Although fresh and slightly crispy on the outside, they tasted slightly slimey on the inside.

Double That Burger (6): The bread was too soft. It didn't seem to be toasted. If it was, it was only on the inside. The meat, although had potential, did not have any seasoning which made it very bland. Jalapeno Mayo (5)... Didn't have much taste. Burger did not come with fries or onion rings.

Bottled Soda (10): They had Coke Zero!!!

Atmosphere (7): Has a nice homey feel to it. You can see the regulars there and most are very friendly.

Service (9): Very friendly and attentive.

Overall (7): It was okay. The food lacked flavor and may not be the highest grade of product. We may not visit for a while. The wife seems done with this...

If you are looking for an authentic home cooked style meals in a vintage style resort with wood floors and good ole customer service...GG's in Marion awesome! We use to love going to parents restaurant Goerkes and this takes us there. Our waitress was sooooo awesome! Made us feel at home. My parents are elderly and dad has Alzheimers but the menu has Fish and he surprised us when he pointed to the fish and the fact that he ate ALL of his fish (dad is in a stage where has lost his appetite for his favorite foods)! So we're so happy he ate his whole meal! I do need to mention the parking a little tricky...both my parents have walkers so I came in on side road and back parking entrance a little bumpy and was weird to park in..both were opposite entries...so I think I messed up...but it was a little "rocky" distance to door but when leaving I backed up as close as I could so wouldn't have to walk far..but in front of restaurant great little sidewalk! So if driving...

We found this restaurant by chance & it was great. When you walk into the dining area, it is adorned with pieces from before I was a twinkle in my daddy's eye or him in his dad's eye...you get the picture. There were black/white photos from, I believe, the 1800s. My daughter thinks I was around during that time & asked if I was in one of the photos and I digress.

Their menu is pretty straight forward, no need in splitting atoms trying to decide what to order. My wife and I ordered the shrimp hoagie. Oh dear gosh! That was the best tasting hoagie (aka po'boy) this side of the Mississippi. I would've ordered a 2nd one if I had room. It was amazing, delicious. Our daughter ordered the fried catfish, which comes with jalapeño hush puppies. Overall, great food and ambiance. Highly recommend.

P.S: Sorry no picture,...
