Been there a long time. Well known by the locals for their prime rib. My experiences have been so so. I've had both excellent and just ok prime rib. Once my wife and I and another couple had to wait for two hours to eat even with a reservation. They've been in business long enough to know how to schedule.... More

The Corner House has a long standing reputation in Racine for being a great restaurant to go for special celebrations. With most meals in the $20-$30 range, it's not your everyday go out to dinner place. Last week, I was with a group of people going out to dinner for a celebration. We did let them know that this was... More

In my opinion, the Corner House was the place to go in Racine 30 years ago for a special occasion dinner. We have returned twice in the past year (for special occasions), partly for nostalgic reasons, and partly because the prime rib is still among the best in the area. The service was good, not great. The prices were okay.... More

As always this is the best Prime Rib Ever! Staff is very friendly and portions are big. I get it medium rare charred to a medium. Drinks are big and afterdinner ice cream drinks are great . Not a place to miss and do not mind the 40 minute drive from home.

Visited the corner house while on a business trip. I heard rave reviews from the locals and it's considered upscale dining. The decor is very dated. The chairs are on casters and an interesting color. The service is very warm. The server was very informative and knew the menu. The bus boy was timely with filling the cup, but knew... More

Kudos to the service and the food. Several critiques of "slow service" proved to be totally unfounded. We got our soup before the cocktails! Perhaps too quick then. Good drinks, classy atmosphere and very good food and service.

This is the place for prime rib and has been for years now. Not the best neighborhood but they do have security in the parking lot.

Had the prime rib, very good. Service was slow, as they were very busy that night, but still. Drinks were very good too, but not cheap! Good place for a special occasion. But, the neighborhood is scary! I wish they would move, but they will never do that. I had people beg for money from us in the parking area.... More

Bad location and unsafe neighborhood for parking, especially after dark. No way going there after dark.
