Nostalgia surrounds the Historic National Road, US Highway 40,
which cuts across the center of Indiana, and this is especially so at Carol’s Cornerstone
Café. It’s located just two blocks east of the Hancock County courthouse in Greenfield,
at Main Street (US 40) and Spring Street. The Antique cars, Gas Station signs,
fireplace and memorabilia set the tone for a comfortable place to eat, relax, and
even listen to homegrown gospel and bluegrass music on some evenings. The menu
is large, the food reasonably priced, the evening buffet well stocked, and the
help will make you feel at home. The fried chicken is juicy and tasty. As you
can see from the picture, the tenderloin may not be huge, (it’s just right) but
it’s obviously freshly cut, hand breaded, juicy and extremely tender. And it’s
just $7.75 including two homemade sides or salad bar. The salad bar has several
homemade salads, and the buffet has plenty of homemade items, like chicken and
noodles, fried chicken, ham, and sides. Our server, Charity, was very friendly
and let us know that when they had music in the evenings, people were known to
fill the center isle dancing. With its comfortable nostalgic setting and wide
assortment of freshly made entrees reasonably priced, we will be riding back to
this gem of a Café often!
