Closed on Sunday sounded delicious. In addition to the lunch special menu, there is a full regular menu filled with salad and wrap options, chicken entrees, burgers, sandwiches, even pizzas and calzones!

Vernon and I were in the middle of enjoying our anniversary weekend when a suggestion came to us from our dear friends Mark and Karla about a good place to stop for some vittles on our way from the Davenport Swap Meet to Conesville. They had just had the pleasure of stopping by The Corner Grill in the small town of Blue Grass for their own lunch, and thought we might be able to find something tasty as well.

Vernon chose the half pound tenderloin sandwich “Mike’s Way”. It came with a side of his choice, and he opted for a bowl of homemade pasta salad. His tenderloin arrived in all it’s golden crispy splendor, topped with a slice of Swiss cheese, grilled mushrooms, and onions, on a toasted bun. Fresh tomato, lettuce, onion, and pickle was on the side. The pasta salad was tender tri color rotini pasta with crisp peppers and onions in an Italian style dressing. It was delicious and refreshing paired with the tenderloin. I ordered Joe’s Patty Melt. It was a flavorful grilled beef patty topped with grilled onions, Swiss cheese, and 1000 Island dressing piled between two slices of grilled marble rye bread. I chose French fries as my side dish, and they were piping hot salty goodness. Crisp on the outside and fluffy potato on the inside.

Our waitress kept our drinks constantly filled and on a hot day, that was much appreciated. We had great service and delicious food that really hit the spot. Maybe next time we stop by Mark and Karla can join us after all, The Corner Grill was their idea to begin with (they always seem to have good ideas). In addition to the regular menu and lunch specials, they also offer catering for all your event needs. Be sure to stop by for some great food and friendly service, and be sure to tell them that Thunder Roads Magazine of Iowa sent you!

As we rolled into Blue Grass, we immediately noticed the large American Flag painted on the side of a building, and that just happened to be our destination. We walked in, and quickly noticed the framed artwork that depicted a Blue Grass of days gone by. Our waitress took us to a booth and we ordered a couple of ice-cold drinks to sip while we looked over the menu.

The Corner Grill offers a good selection of lunch specials Monday through Friday, for the low price of $8.95 each. These vary from tenderloins to chicken salad, and all

The farmer, being a nice guy and knowing how horny traveling salesmen get told the man, “Look son, see that wall? It’s got three holes in it. You can screw the first two but don’t mess around with that third hole. Got it?” The salesman thanked him and bedded down on a pile of hay. About midnight he got really horny and decided to take a poke at the first hole. It was good but not really satisfying so he took a poke at the second hole. It was even better but he still wasn’t satisfied so he thought about the third hole and reasoned to himself, “If that first hole was pretty good and the second hole was even better, I’ll bet that third hole will really do the trick!” The next morning the farmer noticed the salesman was still sleeping so he went about his chores and late in the afternoon he finally saw the salesman wake up. “Damn, son! You been sleeping a long time! What happened?”

“Well,” the salesman replied. “I should have listened to you. I got horny last night and tried that first hole and it was pretty fair but not really satisfying so I tried the second hole. It was good but didn’t do the job so I took on that third hole. Say, what’s behind them holes anyway?”
