Such a friendly smile; it said a lot. I loved it because it was Mother’s Day when my son and I chose Corner Grille in Downtown Rehoboth Beach for our special lunch. We could have had breakfast but we knew what we wanted; Greek food. We had been told what to ask for. Steve and Rene, local foodies, are customers of this restaurant that has been in Rehoboth Beach since 2009. Nothing better than word of mouth.
I kept thinking where have I seen her? It was Soula who owns Alterations by Soula on Coastal Highway. She is a friend of the family and was helping on Sunday. Great to see her.
Corner Grille is located at 11 South First Street, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971. Tel. 302-227-7653. Website? http://www.cornergrillerehoboth.com. It is a family owned and operated restaurant. Corner Grille offers breakfast all day long, lunch, eat in our take out. Pretty soon, as the season opens, they will also be serving dinner. At present, it opens from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. Catering is available and if you like it a lot, they have gifts certificates, as well.
Two dining rooms are available. The restaurant is casual. George showed us our table.
We decided to start with an order of Falafel. These well seasoned fritters or croquettes are made out of chickpeas, fava beans or both. They were delicious; crispy on the outside with a soft center.
We asked George to bring us an order of Tzatziki sauce with pita bread. I love this sauce. It is a blend of yogurt, sour cream, cucumber and garlic, incorporating at times, lemon juice, dill, parsley or mint. It is a versatile sauce, used as an appetizer or a side dish, and served cold. The pita was warm and the combination with the sauce was perfect.
My son and I, both ordered the same thing. The Gyro!! The correct pronunciation? “Yee-roh”. Known to be the best in town. I did not know that the Gyro is considered an American-Greek sandwich, originating in New York in the early 1970s.
To me the perfect Gyro is made out of lamb, sliced; not ground. The slices of the lamb are then served on the bread, topped with garnishes, Feta cheese, and….Tzatziki sauce!! That’s how it came out. It was so delicious!!
My son and I enjoyed every bite and we were totally satisfied.
Corner Grille has a full menu, from the traditional breakfast, to salads, burgers, and Greek specialties…they also have a kids menu.
George and Irene, and the rest of the family were great….they sent us home with some of their homemade rice pudding!!
Affordable, delicious, great service!!! What are you waiting for?
Note: The Board says a lot!
