Campus Corner Restaurant

Always a great meal and prices you can’t beat. Here 1−3x a week!

Great place for breakfast. The food is cheap! Everyone is very sweet to you here as well. I definitely recommend !

Nice little breakfast stop.
Unusual wrap around counters.
Standard and good diner food.
Attentive and friendly staff.
Not much elbow room.

Classic diner type place. I love their cool retro sign. Not many like it in plattsburgh. Very good food, and its cheap!
like most diners in the area its a breakfast/​lunch only place so don’t get there too late.
Staff is very nice, and location is nice.

Très bons déjeuners et bonne ambiance. La carte est simple mais complète. C’est très proche de la marina donc très pratique pour les plaisanciers. Cependant, certaines serveuses manquent de courtoisie.

I lived in Plattsburgh for four years of undergrad. Never once had I heard of Campus Corner. I met my boyfriend (and now husband) in Plattsburgh. He is a «local.» Never once had I even heard of Campus Corner. My husband’s cousin actually works there (she is one of the cute little ladies behind the counter.) Never once had I heard of Campus Corner!
Until yesterday.
My sister in law (also a Plattsburgh «local») and I were driving around Plattsburgh looking for a place to grab breakfast. As we turned to head downtown, she began directing me where to go. She asked me if I had been to Campus Corner… when I said no she practically fell out of her seat… thankfully she was strapped in with a seatbelt. She was amazed that after all these years I had never been there.
The previous reviews are all correct… This place is cuter than cute… totally old school… and serves THE best pancakes I’ve ever had. No, seriously. So fluffy they soak up all the syrup immediately… I had to reapply syrup more than twice.
As I pushed my plate back and patted my belly, I declared I would never eat breakfast anywhere else in Plattsburgh again. Done deal. :)

Friendly service, great food, fun atmosphere!

Greasy spoon breakfast anyone?
Campus Corner is artery clogging breakfast deliciousness wrapped up in a cute, if hometown restaurant.
They are located near the train station, so in a very picturesque part of town (nowhere near campus ironically), and serve good ‘like your momma makes’ breakfast items.
The interior of Campus Corner is a large U shaped bar, with the kitchen in the center of the eatery. Its a really cool feel to eat this way, and makes you feel like one of the regulars.

If anyone, for any reason ever finds themselves in Plattsburgh (though I don’t know why), you must go to Campus Corner.
Food:
When I was growing up in Plattsburgh, Campus Corner was a ritual and rite. All of their food is good, great, and while you might occasionally order something different, 9 times out of 10 you’ll get what you had the first time you went in it’s that good. A recommendation to everyone save the lactose intoleranta, get a chocolate milk. Best I’ve ever had, and when I was 6, I had a lot. Campus Corner still brings a smile to my face some 20 years later when I think about their chocolate milk.
Otherwise let me just say that while they make a good lunch, most of those regulars are there for breakfast, and you should be too!
Venue:
Jess X nailed it in the description, so I won’t even try lest I sound bias, let me point out two things. One, there is a pole that runs through the middle of the restaurant, floor to ceiling, that makes the breakfast bar shaped almost like a B. I used to take the seat right in front of that pole as a child and lean back on it. Don’t avoid it, embrace it, it’s a great place to sit.
And two, make friends. The newspapers are communal, and people will ask to see them when you’ve put a section down. Talk to them. Not talking will seem more odd, trust me. It’s a small places, only sits about 25 or so, but it’s a lot of fun, especially the breakfast crowd. Go there twice in a row and they’ll remember you, I promise.

This is a laid-​back, hometown greasy spoon. It’s a small little place with a wraparound counter and customers all sit on twirly stools. It’s the kind of place where some of the waitresses still call you hon and ask if you want a warm up on your coffee. Wood-​paneled walls, «regulars» and the whole shebang.
My broccoli and cheese omelet was nice and cheesy — great comfort food. I just wish the home fries came with it rather than just toast. A side of home fries was only an extra 80 cents or so though.
