Driving from LA to Murrieta , on a Sunday morning, needing to find a breakfast spot.... This place is a fantastic diner/cafe! Ok so about 1130 am this place was packed and instead of waiting for a table, I opted for a seat at the counter. I enjoy that because you really get to see how everything is prepared and the staff in action, plus you know when your food is coming out. Anyway, sat down looked over the menu, sorry I did not get pics of the menu‍. I ordered the Sante Fe Skillet and a cup of coffee, the server was cheerful and seemed happy I made my mind up in a few seconds. Again I was hungry. I am glad I ordered the skillet. Hash browns, bell peppers, eggs, and chicken... Amanda (server) brought out several hot sauces and then mentioned the homemade salsa!?! Normally I am skeptical about "homemade " anything, ... this time I was surprised. They do make it fresh and it does has some heat . The flavor is spot on, "almost" like moms So good! Corkys has that old school feel , from the tables and decor, and the fresh baked goods. I was too full to have a slice of pie, and I will probably be back to try a slice. Again service is key to a great eatery and this place aims to please. read more

The food is pretty solid and the staff was friendly. Thought there are 2 things that prevent me from giving this a 5 star review. The first is the AC was set at 78 and when you sat close to a window it was hot. The second is the banana pie we bought. We took it home expecting a fresh pie but was disappointed to see that it's a packet they use to make the banana filling (like a store bought pudding packet). The reason I could tell is because they didn't fully mix the packet (I'm attaching photo of it from the pie we took home) I would likely eat here again (not when it's hot out though) and would skip the pie because it's the same as what I could buy premade at a grocery store read more

Gotta give a shoutout to this spot. It's been awhile since I've been this satisfied with an American breakfast chain. Maybe this spot is not a true chain, but it knocks Denny's and IHop out of the ball park. Overall prices were great, the machaca burrito I got was very large and yummy, and the service was very fast. The restaurant is very large great for large parties Overall 5/5 read more

My wife and I needed to charge our EV, so we stopped at the EVgo station next to Corky's Kitchen & Bakery. We had never heard of Corky's before, but we needed breakfast, so we decided to give it a try. We were pleasantly surprised! The entire establishment was incredibly clean, including the restrooms. The real standout, though, was the staff. Everyone--from the manager, Evan, to the hostess, Eliana, and our server, Summer--was friendly, smiling, and went out of their way to make our experience memorable. The food was delicious and definitely did not disappoint. What started as a random stop to charge our car turned into a great breakfast experience. We're looking forward to visiting again the next time we're in the area! read more

I stopped by Corky's Kitchen & Bakery in Corona to grab a pie and a $25 gift card for a White Elephant Christmas party, and I'm so glad I did! The pie was a huge hit -- it was actually the first dessert to be completely gone. The gift card was just as popular and kept getting stolen throughout the game because everyone was saying, "I LOVE CORKY'S!" Great food, great reputation, and always a crowd favorite. Definitely a five-star experience! read more

The food is acceptable, sometimes better than. Overpriced for diner food. Service is fine. Waitstaff seems understaffed. Long waits. Noisy and messy. My friends like to meet here for a local meetup. read more

Finally made it into to our local Corky's! I ordered the breakfast croissant sandwich with hash browns and their fresh orange juice. Portions were large! I took my left overs home. Our waitress was very kind and attentive, even with a full house. I had no idea they also have cookies and pies available! Definitely will make it back in soon. read more

Amazing again and as always. Joli is a top server with a great personality. The food was delivered quickly and on time. Hats off to the cook, he nailed it!

Ok so it's been quite a while that had come back after I had two issues with dinner here at Corky's it was the Pot Roast dinner. This time it's a issue with dessert on Sunday 5/24/26 after Church Me & my Wife went there to have breakfast when we arrived there I looked at the pie display and noticed just how good the strawberry pies looked after we had breakfast we had the young lady box us a pie to take home with us once we arrived at home and decided to have a slice of pie for dessert i bit in to my slice I had to spit it out that slice of strawberry pie was so tart that I couldn't even swallow what I had in my mouth, I tried a few strawberries from the top of the pie and all of the strawberries were just as bad. We had to throw the whole pie away. What a shame they made those pies look so good and were so terrible. Now I think we're done with Corky's that was $22.00 down the drain !!! read more

Went for breakfast this last weekend. My son has a severe egg allergy. We asked to substitute the egg in our entree. No substitutions were allowed. No accommodations. Waitress did not even try to ask a manager. So I paid full price to miss an entire protein in my order. We even asked for just fruit or avocado which does not have the same value as eggs. Don't come here if you have an allergies. They will not accommodate. Waitress also only checked on us once after. read more

Always great food and excellent service with Jeri! She's the best...friendly and always keeps my coffee mug full :)

My dad told me about Corky's he stops there when he plays golf in the area. So we decided to give it a try. It was a Wednesday morning so there was no wait and we were sat immediately. I ordered an iced tea and it was really good! When I asked for a second one as we were finishing the server brought it in a to go cup. Good lookin' out. My friend ordered a scramble and it was so big she could only eat half. I had the avocado toast with the pesto on the side- it was so good! The dining area was clean, the booth was ok, not overly comfortable but good enough. We enjoyed our breakfast and the service was good. It was pretty pricey for what we got but what isn't anymore? Definitely worth a stop in for breakfast. read more

Corky's is a classic diner and holds true to classic diner food. The overall vibe is very much like going to grandmas with the decor and the variety of mugs you get served your coffee in. The service was fantastic with the host checking in often with us and they also have a few others come around to make sure your coffee is filled. They were also great with any suggestions on the menu. The food was pretty good, I got the hobo skillet and it was fairly good, it could have used more seasoning but once I put some hot sauce on it and it was perfect, my partner got some Pancakes and eggs and she enjoyed it. We shared the biscuits and gravy and they were also pretty good. If you're in the mood for some solid classic diner food and breakfast then this is a the perfect stop. Also ... their pies are AMAZING!!! read more

Friday, 12-20-2024: We stopped here on our way home to Temecula from Solvang. We can always bet on great service and tasty comfort food at this location. There was no wait and we were seated in a comfortable booth. Our server came out and introduced herself and I apologize I forgot her name but she had provided consistently good customer service when we were here previously. She was very cordial and industrious. We both ordered off their senior menu. I'm had the fish & chips and hubby had the BLT. We both enjoyed our meals, which was prepared quickly. We enjoy the homey atmosphere and country vibe ambiance. Nothing fancy but the food and customer service are very welcoming! read more

Well, I decided to give them another chance to make a good burger. This time they nailed it. I asked for a burger that was not smashed and it was thick and juicy. This review was not paid for by the company, this is my honest opinion. read more

I decided to try this location out after reading, great reviews, and since I was in the area for the day, me and my wife came in here for some breakfast. I ordered a skillet and my wife had. A country fried steak and they were both delicious. Our waitress was on it . she made sure she checked up on us and made sure we had everything we needed for our breakfast. She also gave us some really good mimosas to start our day off. I'll check them out again. If I'm in the area. read more

I was not prepared for the size of the blueberry pancakes and couldn't even get through half but they were delicious!

We are going to see white Christmas, my wife and I in corona so we thought we would have dinner at Corky's kitchen. They weren't very busy. It was about 6 PM seated right away. It's a very spacious restaurant order our drinks and then ordered our food. We ended up having a 1/3 pound hamburger senior burger. They called it. It's a very nice place. I've eaten at the one in Eastville that one is also very good their bakery items do look a little dried out like they've been there a while. I don't know how that works but overall very good thank you very much Corky's. read more

Diane was absolutely amazing! Very engaged, professional, and intentive! She went over and beyond! Food and drinks were amazing as well!! Five stars!! read more

Corky's , Diane was amazing--great energy, genuine service, and food that matched perfectly. Truly a blessing to be there. Highly recommend!

Second visit at Corky's... new guy, Ethan was my server and sweet as can be even though I gave him a hard time about the size of my to-go salad. My burger was great as last time. Fresh food, comfortable seating and friendly service. I highly recommend this place. read more

For many years while living here in the hills of Temescal Valley and the Corona proper area of this side of the Inland Empire, Hunny's Cafe & Bakery was our GOTO spot for breakfast. Since they closed earlier this 2023 year, our options became more limiting. However, one day, a good neighbor of ours invited us to this establishment, Corky's Kitchen & Bakery for breakfast one morning and the rest was history. We have been repeated customer over and over agin at least for the past month. Tucked in the back lot of the Village at Eagle Glen Shopping Center next to Stater Bros., Corky's has been here for many years. How we never knew about this cafe was out of mind out sight for me. Plenty of parking all around except during morning rush hours on Fri-Sun where the parking lot in front of Corky's get really congested; but there's plenty in the other adjacent lots near Stater Bros., Jack N' Box and others. Park far and go for a nice walk to and from Corky's is not such a bad idea anyways. Once inside, one of the many waitresses will seat you according or ask you to wait a few depending on seats/booths/tables availability. For the past 7th visits, we have always got seated immediately. The flow of customers are endless here as they are pretty busy. After placing orders, the food would come out momentarily; possibly between 10-15mins time. One time during a previous visit, it was very very packed of morning rush hour customers and we still got our orders to the table within 10 mins. I'm not timing by choice but just an observation over time. There are friendly servers and the waitress are all living to make sure you're being served coffee or too off your water frequently. I've had the French Toast here, the Breakfast Burrito here, the Eggs Benedict's, among other things like eggs and bacon and sausages. I'm recommending for those traveling through the I15 and or surrounding cities to stop by for breakfast lunch or dinner. What a great eatery here!! read more

My wife and I stopped for breakfast on our way home from Pechanga Resort. I ordered the barnyard breakfast . Hot cakes were very fluffy and the eggs were scrambled perfectly. The hash brown were crisp as I requested. I chose 1 bacon and 1 sausage to try each. Next time I would prefer all bacon. The sausage was OK, but lacked the seasoning that I prefer, a matter of personal preference. My wife ordered a grilled ham and cheese sandwich. She said is was delicious. She got a side salad with blue cheese dressing, extremely pleased. Service was excellent and no wait. We will be back again. read more

I took my son to Corky's as a breakfast date because I remember it to be really good five years ago. Well my muffin that I ordered tasted like it was microwaved. And the bottom of the muffin was hard. I thought "bakery" meant freshly baked goods every morning. I ordered the home fries as a side, it doesn't look appetizing nor did it taste good. Was overly salted. Denver omlete was also not as good as I remembered. read more

I have been to Corky's many times in the last 10 years. Since COVID the business has gone down there's hardly anyone ever in there except for breakfast. The servers there are great! Unfortunately the beef dip Left much to be desired The bread was dry and rubbery and the roast beef was super dried out. Very disappointing could go anywhere for $17 French dip. read more
