Corner BBQ-Closed
Corner BBQ

When I first passed by Corner BBQ, I was surprised to see a BBQ restaurant open in Glendale. When I walked up to Corner BBQ, I saw their picture menu and saw kebobs! I'll admit I was a bit disappointed because I wanted BBQ. But, I like kebobs and figured I was already there and figured I should give them a try.
Corner BBQ is a more casual, counter service restaurant. They are comparable to Mediterranean Delight or Kebab Way, two other casual, counter service kebobs restaurants that I've reviewed. It's a fairly small location with a few tables inside and about four outside. It's a west facing restaurant, so if you go in the summer during the later afternoon, it is hot and the sun is just beating down on you.
Chicken breast, $8.99, with salad and pita bread. The rice is just plain white rice, no seasoning, nothing. The chicken breast was a bit dry and chewy. I wasn't impressed. The portion size is generous for the price.
The salad was great! Fresh veggies topped by a tangy white dressing. I also loved their garlic sauce, which was heavy on the garlic, which is fine with me!
Falafel- 99 cents each. A very interesting shaped falafel, more like a veggie patty than any falafel I've had. I also saw him pan fry the falafel and not deep fried like I've seen most restaurant do. But, a wonderful crust and flavor. A bit spicy but not overpowering. The quality of the falafel combined with the generous amount, makes this a steal!!
Service was good. I assume the man who took my order is the owner and he was very nice and friendly.
I don't think I'll be coming back for the kebobs at Corner BBQ. But, this maybe the best falafel I've had.
