Meet the Business Owner

Judy K.

Business Owner

In the business since 1982, Judy opened Cornerstone in 2005 because she was attracted to the small-​town feeling of Genesee Depot and had a vision for a neighborhood bistro in the heart of «rural» Waukesha county. Less than 30 minutes from metro Milwaukee and 10 minutes from busy Delafield, Genesee Depot is close to home for many Waukesha county residents. Judy enjoys the creativity and flexibility of a small, independently-​owned restaurant. But what she most values is the relationships she has formed with the countless regular customers and frequent dining guests. That is the true gift of the neighborhood bistro!

Pretty good restaurant, stopped here after Ten Chimneys tour. Had a tuna melt that was pretty good, and fries that were very good. Service was a little slow.

I have Celiacs. Came here for dinner and they were very educated about Gluten-​free, therefore made a wonderful meal GF and I didn’t get sick! Today we went for breakfast, had a great meal including GF toast.

I had the Jambalaya.
We ordered this in for a local work meeting. The ingredients, flavor, consistency, and quality were very good. Especially for the area. I would recommend this to anyone. I wouldn’t recommend the salmon sandwich. It was cooked properly, actually quite well however; it was kind of awkward to eat.
Suggestion: maybe have more pictures of your food on your menu? Revise that dish and keep doing what you do for the Jambalaya! I’ll be back for more!

They offer delicious meals at small town prices with courteous service. Great deserts from a local bakery. And it’s a great atmosphere when local bands plsy, especially Tiss.

My wife and I come here a lot for great food and good music when they have bands play. Today we had lunch and I tried a hamburger. Oh my!!! This was one of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time! This is now the best burger place for this area!!! Try the smothered burger!!!

I visited with a couple friends tonight. I suggested the monte cristo to a friend. He loved it!!! I had the walnut burger, excellent. Everyone in our group thought the food was great. We had great service! I think Carly and Jeremy were the two that helped us. Nice job!

The desserts are fantastic! Our meals were very good. The atmosphere was great if you like one of a kind small dining rooms (I do). They even had a man singing and playing a guitar. Everyone was very friendly and the service was perfect!

Cornerstone is our favorite restaurant in the area. We make sure to hit it every time we are in town. Great food. Great prices. Fantastic service. They also have Gluten free options for all of their dishes.

This would be the perfect place for pot roast. Unfortunately they were out of it on the day we were there. Still, it has a nice café atmosphere and I would give it another try.
The coconut shrimp didn’t quite «work.» Cloyingly sweet with too much breading. The salad was perfunctory – tomatoes and other veggies were tasteless – might be more of a problem with the distributor than with the kitchen staff.

Been here a number of times — as it’s a favorite spot for good friends living nearby. The routine is always the same — good food — but poor service. The wait staff is certainly friendly and they try to accomodate, but there always seem to be too few of them. Sure wish they would hire additional wait staff!

Short version: good choice for all three meals of the day.
Long version: I’ve eaten here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and never been disappointed. This is one of my picks when entertaining visitors from out of town. Even the people from New York thought it was fabulous.
Friday fish fry is great, breakfast is wonderful, and dinner always a treat. Two of my faves are the ahi tuna and the olive grilled cheese. The baby baked potatoes are one of my favorite sides. (They also offer gluten-​free breakfast options if you or a dining companion need to take that into consideration.)
It can be packed during peak dining times, and there’s very little place to stand and wait inside, which can be inconvenient if the weather is bad. But everyone is always friendly, and the service is nice and prompt. This place is a gem.

Located in a cute little town with just a handful of restaurants. I sat outside on a warm day. The waitress was very friendly. The restaurant was packed but the service was still quick.
I ordered the Monte Cristo. It was AMAZING.
Turkey, ham, Swiss & cheddar cheese on bread, then deep fried. Served with raspberry jam and a dusting of powdered sugar.
I would have never though turkey and ham go well with jam… but it was awesome.
I never had Monte Cristo prior to eating at Cornerstone. Since Cornerstone is a bit of a drive, I’ve decided to try other Monte Cristo sandwiches at other restaurants. SO DISAPPOINTING.
There are a ton of delicious desserts here. I’d recommend the Chocolate Peanut Butter pie-​type creation!

Love the Cornerstone in the quaint town of Genesee Depot, a place that will escape you with the blink of an eye. The Cornerstone has a great menu of good comfort food. My favorite is the pecan encrusted chicken sandwich, and I always love to look at the dessert window. An atmosphere of a very home town feel, which is very intimate… certainly not a place to talk about the town gossip! The Cornerstone is worth a leisurely trip to Genesee Depot, and a great stop after a tour at Ten Chimneys.
