Price guide: Sandwiches $7-9  Entrees $10-20
What I ordered: The Reuben.  I practically consider myself a Reuben connoisseur, and this Reuben is one of the best I have EVER had!!  The corned beef was sliced very thin, but was tender as could be, with awesome flavor.  The bread was grilled to a nice, toasty texture, without any of the sogginess you might experience from grilled sandwiches elsewhere.  The 1000 island dressing came served on the side.  They also gave me a ton of fries, which were thin and crispy.  A big hit overall!

Two of my companions ordered the Prime Rib.  Featured here is the "King Cut", 20-24 oz.  This steak is MASSIVE!! The taste was very good, and for $20, I don't know if you can find a prime rib steak that is any bigger or better for the price.

Another companion ordered the stuffed shrimp.  This was simply, "alright". The breading of the shrimp was nice and crispy, but the inside was lightly filled with a cheesy/crab mixture that had a very blended texture.

Service: Could be much better! This is the second time I had eaten at the Cornerstone and the serving staff does not seem to be very friendly or helpful.  There were four of us dining on this occasion, and when the server brought out complimentary soup/salads for the entrees that my companions ordered, she only brought us three rolls! I cannot recall whether the menu included a dinner roll with the Reuben, but come on! In my opinion, enough dinner rolls should be brought to the table for everyone who is seated, regardless of what they ordered. 
Overall Impression: Nice atmosphere for both dining and entertainment. Great Prime Rib for the money and excellent Reubens.  Service needs improvement.

We have eaten here in the past and food was good. Today, not so much. Service was the worst, they took forever (45mn for our main course after our soups) and we had a two year old with and can you believe the last thing to come out was her pizza (if you can call it that). The fried chicken was all a very thick, peppery coat of batter, the rueben had no 1000 island dressing (I wasn't going to ask for it after waiting so long) and the corned beef tasted "off". Taco salad had mixed bagged lettuce for the base with maybe a 2oz portion of meat. And everything fried (fries, chicken, taco salad shell) tasted like fish. We won't be going back.

I love this place!! I live pretty close and my husband and I love to go Wednesday nights for all you can eat prime rib. Also a fan of the prime rib sandwich on the lunch menu(the open faced one). Never had a bad experience here with service or otherwise.Great Bloody Mary's too!!

My husband and I went here for Valentines day. We waited to be seated without a reservation, but not long considering their usual wait. This was the first time in years we had been there and I'm sure it will be years until we go back. The salads were dry and tasteless with tons of red onion as the only garnishment. My filet mignon came and it looked like it should be delicious, but I have never had a more bland piece of meat. My husbands broiled walleye looked poached and had a slime underneath it. Never received the complimentary champagne they advertised. Big disappointment. Much better places to eat.

I love this place! The prime is excellent! Good lunch specials,or the prime rib sandwich(open faced ) is very good,you'll want a nap after eating it though. I'm a fan of the Wednesday night all you can eat prime rib special,and their bloody marys are always a good start. Can't say I've had bad service.
