SURPRISINGLY GREAT FOOD!

I don't understand the bad reviews-we went here last weekend and had an incredible meal where EVERY SINGLE THING was delicious. I've had plenty of mediocre brunches in this town, so I wasn't expecting much, but we were so happy to have such a great experience.

I got the potato pancakes with smoked salmon, and they were delightfully crunchy, and also came with the traditional sour cream and applesauce (which tasted homemade and had cranberries in it-YUM!)

My husband's sausage platter was so tasty that I kept asking for bites, and my daughter had an apple pancake that was packed with green apple slices and came with real freshly whipped cream and some of the best bacon I've ever had.

The bread was wholesome and fresh and the service was friendly.

This is a new fave and I am bringing out of town guests this weekend. A treat!

• Pros: great food

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.
