Hot Dog Buffet
Locally made Kent hot dogs with our famous house chili sauce, fresh-diced onions, and daily-shredded cheese. Hall Of Fame attempts count!
Corner Basket Buffet
Chicken tenders, hand-breaded shrimp, and golden-fried cod with fries and cole slaw.

Enjoy the party
We set up the buffet and drinks, and you enjoy your guests.
Wednesday evenings are held for Trivia Cat! If you absolutely need a Wednesday, it is a possibility, but we try to keep the Friends & Family Room for the guests and host of Trivia Cat.
Make it a Hall of Fame party
Over 6,800 people have eaten their way onto the Corner Bar Hot Dog Hall of Fame. Put the challenge on the agenda in either space and send the guest of honor home a legend.
DARE TO
MAKE HISTORY!
The Hall of Fame Platter is piled high with 12 of our Famous Chili Dogs. 29.99
The rules: eat all 12, with at least our special chili sauce, in one four-hour sitting, and your name goes up on our wall.
