DALLAS, Jan. 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Corner Bakery has been recognized as a top restaurant chain in the U.S. by TripAdvisor for 2019, ranking in the top 10 of the large restaurant chain category of 101 or more U.S. locations. Based on millions of reviews and opinions from TripAdvisor diners, the first-ever list recognizes restaurant chains offering high-quality service and exceptional meals at a great value.

Whether guests are on the go, wanting a comfortable place to relax, or seeking a flavorful catering experience Corner Bakery prides itself on being there to brighten any day. More than a bakery and more than a cafe, Corner Bakery is admired by customers nationwide for their deliciously fresh kitchen-crafted breakfast, lunch and dinner.

"I recently visited the cafe upon my stay at the Palmer House. This was my first time in Chicago and I had one morning to venture out to breakfast on my own. I chose this because it was close and looked cute. The service was unbelievably fast. I ordered the oatmeal with fresh fruit, raisins, and brown sugar, and a brewed coffee. I loved the bar seating by the window. I could do my morning reading in peace while watching commuters go by. It was an awesome city experience," noted a TripAdvisor reviewer.

Focused on crafting wholesome fare in oven-warmed kitchens using fresh ingredients, Corner Bakery continues to enhance the brand through food quality elevation and outstanding customer service.

"It's quite an honor and a testament to our operators to receive this exclusive recognition," said Corner Bakery CEO Frank Paci. "It is our commitment to display amazing hospitality while offering fresh, high-quality meals to every customer that walks into one of our locations."

"Chain restaurants are integral to the American dining experience as they offer consumers convenient and satisfying meals for all occasions," said Bertrand Jelensperger, senior vice president for TripAdvisor Restaurants. "For the first time, TripAdvisor is ranking restaurant chains that provide exemplary food, service and value to diners. Every company featured in these rankings should be proud of the recognition they are receiving from TripAdvisor's community of millions of travelers and locals searching our site for a great place to eat."

Founded in 1991, Corner Bakery serves fresh from the kitchen food, made by real cooks, for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Handcrafted with pride, the seasonal, ingredient inspired menu ranges from hot breakfast and grilled panini to salads, signature sandwiches, mouthwatering sweets and more. Favorites include the crave worthy Berry Almond Swiss Oats for breakfast, the grilled-to-perfection Chicken Pomodori Panini for lunch, the kitchen-crafted Pesto Cavatappi pasta for dinner, and a slice of rich, flavorful Cinnamon Creme Cake for a sweet treat.

Corner Bakery is crafted for today's lifestyle. Guests can make themselves at home in the cafe or utilize online ordering, allowing those short on time to stop in quickly and skip the line.
