Corvette Cafe

Alan Clarkson

I've gone to the National Corvette Museum, 2 or 3 times a year, for several years. I own a Corvette, and am a Member of the Corvette Museum. I've always eaten at the Corvette Café when I go. I was there last weekend (July 15-18, 2022). They've done a lot of renovations. The Café is part of that. Cut to the chase. They have completely ruined everything about this Café. It used to be a 50's-style diner. It was beautiful. It was fun. A Corvette Burger, a milkshake, and fries. What this has become is a total disappointment. It's dark, and looks like a boarding area at an airport, or a cheaply done executive lounge. Totally unappealing. Then, I'm greeted at the door by some snotty, nasty attitude, 19-year-old girl as a hostess. I take a seat. The condescending waitress arrives, with a wine and beer list. I dont need that! Then, the menu (oh brother!). They now offer wild boar, elk, and "the finest" Wagyu beef, at a more-than-premium price. Salads, from $12 to $15 or more. Then, you can add shrimp, or other extras, for an additional $6.95 to $8.95. So, a "custom" salad, for up to $25. Just ridiculous. No hamburgers, no milkshakes. Only high-dollar garbage that I wouldn't eat. So, the waitress keeps trying to talk me into something. I had ordered a Mellow Yellow to drink. After 3 or 4 attempts to get me to order something, I just told her, "You know, they've honestly ruined this Café. There's nothing here that I would eat. I just want regular food. I don't want a $100 lunch. If you could just bring me the bill for the Mellow Yellow, I'll pay for it, and be on my way". I got an attitude from the waitress when I just told the truth, and said this. She brought the check, $4, for the Mellow Yellow. I paid and left. I have no interest or intention of going there again. Highly disappointed with this "new" approach. Corvettes, the Corvette Museum, and the Corvette Café, are supposed to be reminiscent of Americana. What they've turned this Café into is just a very unappealing, over-priced, snotty, "look at me", yuppy, pretty much corporate, and very disappointing waste of time. If this is your style, have at it. Not for me. They've ruined it.

A blah burger, a pickle that was waaay strong, rubbery potato salad. The fries are a strange hybrid of curly fries and wedges, I wasn't thrilled. Fast casual dining in a full service dining room was confusing, the servers behind the …

Poor service. Line going out the door and the girl working out front was taking her time. I ordered a coffee along with food and had to go back after eating because coffee still wasn't ready. All they had to do was pour it in a cup and they just didn't do it. Will not go back
