Village Corner

Horrible Experience all the way around...

Lazy service from unhelpful, scowling staff of people. We lived in Germany for FIVE YEARS. This place is nowhere near the quality and value you'd expect from extra pricey menus! Atmosphere was non-existent and the bathrooms in this place are simply nasty. No place to change our baby either which was very inconvenient. As a restaurant owner I can tell you that I would not recommend dining here. I sent back my saurbraten because it was dry and my child's grilled cheese smelled and tasted like fish. The only saving grace for this place is that it is near the park so we were able to leave our car there while we visited Stone Mountain. Overall experience was not good. South Carolina definitely has more to offer than Georgia as far as German restaurants go.

• Pros: Walking distance to Stone Mountain Park
• Cons: Value, cleanliness, food quality, service

Nice cosy atmosphere

We decided to try out The Village Corner after reading the reviews. It was a very pleasant experience. We walked in and were asked which side we wanted to sit on. We chose the left side (that's the tavern side and the most happenin' side - I guess the right side is if you want silence). We ordered the platter for two, which has plenty of food for two people. It's reasonably priced ($24) and we took the leftovers home and had a German breakfast. The food & service was great and we'll be going back.

Family Owned Bavarian Bakery & Tavern! Sit By The Fireplace!

by jaymaygm at Citysearch

Every Labor Day Weekend, at the end of The Yellow Daisy Festival at Stone Mountain, we always stop in The Village Corner. You are simply overcome by the aroma's coming from the bakery ovens, and all those showcases you have to pass, to get to the Dining Room. In cooler weather, get a cozy table near the fireplace. Hands down, we always order the German Plate. A terrific combination of homemade sausages, Red Cabbage(Oh Goodness!), and an assortment of freshly baked breads. Ask for their variety of mustards to put on the sausages. German Beer selection is outstanding. This place is family owned, so expect a family member to stop by the table. The staff are longtime regulars, and more than make you feel at home. And this is a best kept, ATLANTA SECRET! Out of the way for the masses, but not for us. And when you leave back by the bakery again, let me know if you can resist getting a couple of loaves of that apple bread, for only $5.00. We get three, one to eat on the way home, and the other two for later that night.

• Pros: Outstanding German Baked Goods! Homemade Sausages! Seasoned Service!

Sturdy German food and a storybook setting combine for a warm, cozy, fattening night out in Stone Mountain.

The Scene
Sporting a faux-Alpine look that makes an appropriate addition to the storybook Stone Mountain Village setting, Village Corner is a combination tavern, restaurant and bakery. Inside, the restaurant divides between two comfortable dining rooms with an appealing fireplace on the tavern side.

The Food
Traditional German cuisine--hearty, customary dishes for the carnivorous palate--rules the roost at Village Corner. A tasty Swiss/Bavarian fondue-like an appetizer of raclette cheese melted in a skillet and served with potatoes and gherkin pickles makes an excellent starter. The German plate is a solid entree, offering a choice between bratwurst, weisswurst, smoked sausage and knackwurst. Jaegar schnitzel--a breaded, skillet-browned veal cutlet with mushrooms and red wine cream sauce--is another good choice, in spite of being almost overwhelmingly rich. Sides are divine--you'll be tempted to eat your weight in the buttery, pan-seared spaetzle. The red cabbage is a winner, too.

I liked the deserts-- very very good. The servers were nice and quick. Things I like in a restaurant.
