Its time for dinner and its time for
that old familiar what are we going to
eat, are we going out or staying in sce-
nario. True, you could stick with the
same fast food, or buffet, or even a sit-
down national chain restaurant that you
have been going to for years, but why
not try something new?
The Corner Pub Between the Lakes
could be your answer. It is a family style
meat-and-three restaurant with a menu
that goes on for days, flat screens every-
where you turn and the best food youve
eaten in a long time. When you walk in
at the Corner, you get the feeling that
the staff wants to get to know you. They
want to serve you good food at a good
price, and they want you to feel like
family.
The menu is stuffed full of so many
choices there is no way that anybody is
leaving hungry. Their menu at the Cor-
ner is not only kid friendly, it caters to
the picky eater, the hearty eater, the
burgers and fries guys and your stick to
your ribs, meat and three nothing else
will satisfy me country boy.
At the Corner as owner, Jeff Rippy
refers to it, you can feel comfortable in
the sports themed non-smoking facility.
There are plenty of big, flat screen TVs
where you can always catch the latest
sports, and your friends and neighbors
are probably sitting at the next table.
Monday is Smokin Menu Night
where they start early in the morning
smoking the pork chicken and beef for
some delicious barbecue fare to be avail-
able for that evenings specials. Other
menu choices available to tempt your
tastebuds are:
Baskets of Fish or Chicken with Fries
Cheese Burgers
Fried Shrimp
Catfish
Pops Ribeye
Salmon Filet
Steamers
Meat and Three or Meat and Two
Sandwiches
Desserts
The Corner Pub Between the Lakes is
open from 11 am until 12 midnight 7
days a week. The next time the question
of what to eat for dinner hangs in the air
long enough to grab your keys, drive to
4136 North Mt. Juliet Road where the
neighborhood meets at the Corner.

MEXICAN RESTAURANT
Opening mid August
Los Compadres

Mid-TN Dining 2011 Page 9
In the midst of the recent global eco-
nomic struggles, dining out became a
luxury many people decided they could
no longer afford. Though families tradi-
tionally dine out less than anyone, in
light of fewer funds, the trend to stay in
for meals and save money extended be-
yond families to couples and singles as
well.
Though the economy is gradually
bouncing back, the impact of the recent
recession is still fresh on the minds of
many. While its important to watch
spending, that doesnt mean dining out
must continue to be an unaffordable
luxury. In fact, there are many ways to
enjoy dining out and still save money.
* Look forward to Restaurant Week.
Many larger cities offer some type of
Restaurant Week, a week during which
restaurants across a given metropolitan
area provide lower prices to customers
as incentive to dine out and try new cui-
sine. Many restaurants offer prix fixe
deals, typically including three courses
ranging anywhere from $25-40 per
plate. This allows consumers to enjoy af-
fordable meals at restaurants that might
otherwise be out of the budget.
* Peruse restaurants online. Many
restaurants allow people surfing the Web
to join mailing lists via their Web sites.
Such mailing lists provide e-mail up-
dates on menu changes and special
events at the restaurant, making it eas-
ier to schedule nights out on the town
in advance. Some restaurants even offer
exclusive discounts to those on their
mailing lists, making it more affordable
to spend a night dining out.
* Look for coupons. Mailboxes are
often filled with junk mail, but nearly
everyone has received that envelope full
of coupons at least once. While its easy
to simply discard junk mail immedi-
ately, that envelope might just be the
key to an affordable night out on the
town. Many restaurants send offer
coupons via such envelopes as well as
the local newspaper, and these coupons
often provide great deals.
Another place to look for restaurant
coupons is a local entertainment book.
While these books often must be pur-
chased, those who truly put the book to
use will save much more in the long run
at restaurants as well as several local
businesses.
* Take advantage of promotions.
Many people scoff at restaurant promo-
tions that might offer too little or seem
too limited. However, for couples who
havent had a night out on the town in a
while, those promotions might be just
whats needed. Part of the fun of dining
out is getting out of the house, so while
that limited menu special might not be
exactly what a diner is looking for, it is
a more affordable way to hit the town
and let someone else do the cooking.
While dining out might be a costly
endeavor for families, couples or even
singles, savvy diners can find deals if
they look in the right places.

On July 6th Los Compadres will be
celebrating 20 years of offering their
customers authentic Mexican food in a
relaxed and friendly south-of-the-
border atmosphere. From 6:00 pm until
9:00 pm that evening they will have a
live Mariachi band in the restaurant to
entertain their guests while dining. They
will also be offering different specials
throughout the day to celebrate this
milestone in their business. It is sure to
be a true Mexican fiesta that shouldnt
be missed!
Owner, Jose Gutierrez, had the furni-
ture and the dcor including the tile, the
sinks, wrought iron and the limestone
fountain all brought in from Mexico.
This extra attention to detail has set Los
Compadres apart and gives the atmos-
phere an authenticity from the instant
you set foot inside the door.
However, atmosphere alone never
kept anyone from going hungry. The
food is another place where the extra at-
tention to detail is certainly paying off
for Jose and Los Compadres. The salsa
is made fresh daily and the authentic
Mexican recipes have been prepared for
more than 15 years by the same chef.
The Margaritas are made only with 100%
Blue Aqua Tequila in their full service
bar.
The wait staff is friendly and courte-
ous with the needs of the customer as
their top priority. The food arrives
quickly, hot, and ready to enjoy. The
restaurant has open dining rooms to ac-
commodate large groups, parties,
church groups and families. On Sunday
families enjoy an incredible buffet with
a wide variety of selections that include
but are not limited to: Steak and
Chicken Fajitas, Beef and Chicken
Alambres, Build your own Crispy Tacos,
Taco Salad, Potato Salad, Macaroni,
Chicken Wings, Chicken Nuggets, Fruit,
Desserts (including Flameabos their
own secret recipe with bananas, straw-
berries, ice cream, fried flour tortillas,
sugar and cinnamon). All of this and
more is available for the affordable price
of $8.99 for adults and $4.99 for chil-
dren 12 years and under.
Los Compadres is open daily from
11:00 am until 10:30 pm. Be watching
for their Mt. Juliet location on Lebanon
Rd., opening sometime in the middle of
August and dont forget the anniversary
celebration on July 6th. For more infor-
mation, please call 615-443-4697.

Normally, the dog house is not where you would
want to be, until now. Coris Dog House is exactly
where you want to be if you want the best hot dogs,
best toppings, best buns and the best service avail-
able. As a matter of fact their slogan is, Sometimes
its good to be in the doghouse.
In September 2009 Sean Sullivan, AKA Sully,
wanted to open a place that took him back to one
of his happiest childhood memories, eating hot
dogs at the lunch counter in Woolworths with his
mom. He always had two, served on a New England
style bun. While it is quite possible that the lunch
counter at Woolworths never offered their patrons
38 different hot dog combinations to choose from
along with a selection of 16 other specialty sand-
wiches, but that is exactly what Sully decided to do
at his own gourmet hot dog restaurant, Coris Dog
House.
Hoping to instill some of those same fond child-
hood memories in his own child, Sully named his
restaurant after his then nine year old daughter
Cori, when he opened the dog house. While Sully
runs the place most of the time, she does pop in
from time to time to check on things and act as
CEO. According to him she has fired him about
four times but hires him back two minutes later
when she realizes she has to do the work!
All of the ingredients at Coris Dog House are
fresh. The fries and onion rings are all hand cut.
Their New England style bun has often been de-
scribed as a type of Texas Toast. These buns are
baked fresh by a local bakery, covered with butter,
grilled to perfection before becoming the vehicle
for the famous Coris Hot Dogs. The only thing in
their freezer is the hot dogs according to Sully.
We suggest 38 different topping combinations
but have 4 million possibilities, said Sully
If you visit Coris Dog House you might have to
stand in line for one for these gourmet dogs but
they are fast and friendly and will have you coming
back for more. Coris Dog House is located at Prov-
idence Shopping Center. Coris is open 11 am 8
pm Monday through Thursday, 11 am 9 pm Fri-
day and Saturday and 11 am to 6 pm on Sunday.
