About Cookie's Corner Cafe
Cookie's Corner Cafe is a cafeteria-style restaurant on 6th Ave in Dothan, serving a meat-and-sides menu at the counter during lunch hours. Fried chicken comes up often, and the sides rotate through macaroni and cheese, cabbage, greens, yams, catfish, and lima beans. The format keeps the line moving, with diners choosing their plate as they go through. The cafe opens Monday to Friday and stays closed on weekends, with food served only at lunchtime. Beyond the 6th Ave location, Cookie's Corner also runs a food truck set up in the Rural King parking lot in Dothan, extending the same counter-style menu to a second spot in town.

Customer Review Summary
Fried chicken served cafeteria style draws the most praise, with several reviewers calling it crispy and delicious and one going so far as to say it rivals the best they have ever eaten. Close behind, diners point to sides like greens, yams, and lima beans, plus catfish and a blueberry cake for dessert, describing the whole spread as home style southern cooking. Counter service gets called friendly, fast, and helpful with picking items, and the lunch rush is described as busy since food is served only during that window. One reviewer reports that a second visit's fried chicken was undercooked, with blood still visible inside, and urged the kitchen to follow proper frying time and temperature. Several mention finding the place through word of mouth and say they plan to return, with one recalling finishing an entire plate clean.
