There meatloaf is fantastic!you need to go when you are hungry. Great service! Leave room for dessert.

Ive been coming here for a long time since back from when it first opened and was a 24/7 diner. The quality has returned with great crispy fries. Delicious chicken fried steak and the biscuits and gravy are very flavorful. The gravy has chunks of fresh sausage in it and the biscuits go really well with this. Their tea is pretty good but their cookies are excellent and I haven't had their pies in awhile but im sure they are back to being great again too. The staff is really friendly and the service is attentive and accommodating. I continue to come here regularly because its a great location to visit with family and friends. Their breakfast options are great too, I prefer their French toast. A great place to unwind and have a good meal. read more

I've been coming here mostly for pies for a decade. I have also dined here with family on and off . My friend and I met for breakfast And it was just mid. The food was ok, nothing special to be honest and it was pricier than Other restaurants. The service was good read more

I have been coming here for years and it never disappoints! Inside is decorated super cute with a farmhouse diner type vibe. The service is always prompt and the staff is always helpful and friendly! The food is all great, from breakfast to lunch to dinner! This time, we got breakfast and it was so good! The eggs benedict was so good and the omelet was awesome. The biscuits & gravy is a must when you go here!! read more

We had the breakfast croissants. I've never in my life tasted cheese that was this abhorrent. I don't like American cheese anyway, but this tasted like something completely processed. It left a chemical taste in my mouth. My son and I were actually in denial about the taste while we were eating it. I can't even describe it. I suspect that it would be like margarine. You know how bugs don't eat it because it's processed. Same thing. Just horrible. I'm not complaining about the restaurant. I just don't understand what that stuff was. I hope I can forget it soon. read more

If you want large portions of sub-par food with average service and a sometimes clean atmosphere... this is your spot! It's open a lot!

Came here for the first time the other day. I had just gotten home from a work trip and was in the mood for breakfast food even though it was well past 2pm. My fiancé had always mentioned this place but we never made the drive. Finally did and it was worth it. Loved the blueberry pancakes and the skillet. Pancakes were not only huge they tasted great. My polish skillet was also outstanding. Will definitely be back when i have that breakfast food craving! read more

Great experience! We haven't been here in years, and I'm sad it took us this long to come back. We'll definitely be visiting more often now. The menu is fantastic with tons of options, plus bakery items and daily specials. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. You can tell it's a local favorite with plenty of regulars. Can't wait to return and try even more! read more

Good friends of ours suggested Corky's as a nice breakfast place as it's genuinely American and it reminds me quite a bit of the Cheesecake Factory or a Corner Bakery. We ordered a Reuben sandwich and the pumpkin pancakes as it's the season for those.... the former was very nice, good bread, meat and the fries were well done as we like them that way. The pancakes were fluffy but pumpkin flavor.... very faint which was a bit of a disappointment. Of course, restaurants now have to deal with increased cost of business which translates in cheaper ingredients of which oil is a big factor..... we can tell one day later ;-). Nevertheless, a good place to meet, unlimited (and drinkable) coffee and nice staff. read more

We tried Corky's yesterday during an off peak time. We were seated straight away. The décor is quaint and the staff were really welcoming. We all decided on having breakfast even though it was lunchtime. The let us order from the breakfast menu without restriction. All the breakfast items were excellent. The scratch-made gravy was particularly good. The biscuits were huge and the slab of sausage patty on my country benedict was epic. We will definitely be back! read more

We were in search of a slice of pie and coffee and we found it! Great little spot great coffee yummy pie. Looks like a great breakfast place too which we will try another time. Our server Art was super nice and attentive. Thanks! read more

In town and walked over to Corky's. Super in-assuming from the outside and perfect little diner on the inside. Staff was super friendly, place was packed, food came out quick! The Pork Chile Verde Omelette was really good. Love that there is an option to go fruit instead of potatoes. Would recommend this place! read more

Fast & friendly service. Nothing stands out , pretty standard breakfast offerings. The salsa i got on the side was actually semi spicy and really good homemade . They have a great breakfast special every day of the week for $10.99. 2 eggs , bacon home fries & 2 pancakes, you really cannot beat that price. They sell pies & baled goods here as well ! read more

We love this restaurant - It's our go-to place for breakfast (or any meal). The staff is friendly, personable, and pays close attention to your order, the food is "down home" and the Grandma's oatmeal comes with coffee and a bagel for an incredible price. My favorite is their avocado toast that comes with poached eggs and a salad on top. We love Hortencia, a mainstay at the restaurant but any waiter or waitress does an incredible job. I think you will enjoy. Fast, friendly and tasty - a great combination, read more

My husband & I went tonight for dinner. I haven't have the chicken pot pie in quite some time. I personally make pot pie at home but it so nice that someone else makes, an I just enjoy. I told my husband they changed the recipe! I love this pot pie the gravy inside was perfect. It's wasn't dry but prefect. This is how I make my pot pies. The veggies are not mushy, cubed prefect to that ratio of chicken and gravy. Try it it's delicious! My husband had Thanksgiving dinner, which is one of his faves on the menu. It did not disappoint tonight. read more

Have talked about the delicious potato skins at Corky's to my girlfriend, Marilyn, who was visiting me from Ocean Springs, MS. So Marilyn said let's go get some since they don't have a restaurant there that offer them. She was ecstatic over the portion size and the fantastic taste which was again delivered quickly and professionally by Jaclynn, who is definitely my favorite waitress from anywhere! Marilyn has now gone back to Ole Miss and said she will again be hunting for any restaurant making "outstanding Potato Skins" like Corky's even if she has to go to New Orleans, 1 1/2 hours away to find some! read more

FOOD is delicious! Also a great bakery, often get pies from here for Thanksgiving... Cookies and homemade shakes! Love the "old school" diner feel. I still have not had their amazing looking breakfast, maybe today As a Buffalonian, was able to get a taste of home. Try the Spicy Chicken Corky's Clucker and add a side REAL Blue Cheese! Such a GREAT SANDWICH, that I could previously only get in Buffalo. Go Bills read more

The food was really good. The service was also very good. It's just a little on the pricey side for what I got. I believe it was over $17 for a burger and onion straws (no drink). However, I would probably go here again. I enjoyed the food. read more

These guys couldn't get an option right to save their lives. We frequently select the home fries option on our breakfast burrito and get hash browns; Disappointing. Also, the scrambled soft option is almost always ignored. read more

Mom and I were craving comfort food and a chicken pot pie sounded so good. Not very familiar with comfort food restaurants in the area, I reached out to the Nextdoor app and had several recommendations for Corky's Kitchen and Bakery as well a a few other places. But we had to try Corky's as it was so close. We were not disappointed. When we walked in at 8:30pm, nearly every table was filled with homemade pies. It was the day before Thanksgiving. And they had over 1000 order. read more

Jacklyn our waiter was wonderful! Went in with my husband & 2 kids for dinner one night. She was patient friendly kind & smiles! Next time I go i will surely request her if possible as a waitress. She enjoys her job you can tell! read more

Here for an hour and a half for 2 breakfast burritos to go. They got my order wrong 3 times. The third time I asked the manager for a refund. He fucking refunds me and cancels the order for the fourth order. An hour and a half and that's the service!? Finally makes the order after I told him that's not okay. Complete asshole about it. Not even checking this order is correct before I write this review I don't even care anymore it's fucking ridiculous. Will not be returning. Update: they made it wrong. The manager literally held the bag out, snatched it back to confirm he had the right order. I said yes. He snatched it back again and said "Have a good day." And after all of that assholery it was still made wrong. read more

We're kinda regulars and it was great seeing Jeri again. She's a keeper, and the food is always good. We love Corky's.

Good breakfast. I got the chicken fried steak. The chicken was a little dry but the gravy was delicious. Hash browns were good. Don't eat egg so they were willing to sub them for extra hash browns. read more

It's good home cooked dinners like meatloaf, fried chicken, pot roast, burgers and salads, salmon, etc. all for a very reasonable price and large portions. Also breakfast is great. If you just don't feel like cooking, as is my case, and you and your partner seem to like different meals, it's a great alternative to higher priced restaurants. They even serve wine . And Jaklyn is a great waitress who knows to bring me a glass of Cabernet upon our arrival! She's a very pleasant person and always takes good care of us. read more

Been going here for over 20 years. Food prices are a bit pricy but you do get a lot of food for what you pay. Often leftovers (even breakfast) are enough for a second meal. Standard choices for breakfast/lunch/dinner. Favorites for breakfast are their breakfast burritos and hash browns/home fries. They definitely know how to make potatoes for breakfast. read more

Great all American breakfast. They have some of the biggest yummiest pancakes Very family and kid friendly .

Manager is rude he tells you straight up what to order and if you dont like it you can leave

Solid spot to take the family and get a nice breakfast. Service is great, food is good and restaurant feels clean.

We been to corkys couple times, My son loves getting the big pancakes here. The food is great and the service as well. Thank u guys

this is an average American Diner. went on a very busy Sunday morning around 10:00 a.m. and it was completely packed however me and my 4 year old were able to immediately get a seat at the counter we split a pancake, egg and sausage combo which was around $15 total. the pancakes were huge like the size of small pizzas so the meal was definitely enough for the both of us to share. we did not get any butter on the pancakes so needless to say they were a little dry, however the sausage was amazing like the best sausage I have ever had. service was a little slow but they were very very busy. all in all I think it was a good value for the money spent. definitely would go back. just not doing five stars because I think that's reserved for exceptional food. read more

Corky's is a country home style diner that serves up basic American fare. It can be hit or miss, however, and if your expectations are not that high, then you've probably got a better chance of being satisfied. Their breakfast options are classic and hearty, with good oversized portions you would expect at this kind of restaurant. The chicken fried steak, eggs benedict, and skillets are pretty good. Most recently we tried them for lunch, and were pleasantly surprised. The different chicken sandwiches they offer are all pretty tasty, particularly the chicken pesto one. This last time the fries were a bit overdone but they are usually good. The restaurant is not too large so the service is typically decent. Though like the food, it can be hit or miss. Most of the time they get it right. Ambiance-wise, they go for the country grandma theme. But nobody really eats here for the atmosphere. It does get really crowded on weekends particularly for breakfast so, plan accordingly. Three point eight stars of overall decentness rounded up to four. Not a bad choice and you could do a lot worse. read more
