We ordered thru DoorDash and ordered a whole pecan pie it was rancid! We reported it to Doordash but since it was quality issues they would not refund us. 21.00 for a spoiled pie. Be careful when you buy a pie here. read more

Having a few hours in Kansas City on a layover gave us the opportunity to find a small cafe for breakfast. Promptly greeted and seated and our waiter stopped by instantly. The food arrived quickly and the portions were decent sized for the price. I ordered the Corner Omelette and my captain ordered the Big B. We laughed at the menu stating the Big B came with a small biscuit because he had a full size plate full of biscuits and gravy. The omelette was very tasty but I'd prefer shredded cheese instead of 2 slices of American cheese thrown on top of the omelette. Everything was cooked perfectly and filled me up for my day! read more

So delicious!!! Love coming for breakfast or for lunch/ dinner. Coffee is really good and I love getting pancakes here. For lunch I love getting the chicken fried chicken, I always get it with mashed potatoes and green beans. And of course get the Banana Split Pie! Best pie ever!!!! read more

I was very intrigued to try this restaurant after multiple suggestions and more so when we arrived to a packed house on a Sunday morning. They don't allow for calling ahead (no reservations), just first come first served. That being said, for two of us we only waited about 15-20 minutes. During your wait make sure to take a look at the delicious looking pies in the case, or watch them make their cinnamon rolls, or simply wander the restaurant looking at the wall art. Our waiter did not seem like he wanted to be there. Maybe he hates his job or maybe he was having a bad day. Either way I don't recall him smiling once and it genuinely brought down the mood. We started out sharing one of their famous cinnamon rolls which was pretty darn good. We were served a corner piece which was a bit too crisp for my taste but inside was nice and soft. It was very good! The main food was a big let down. I got one of the lighter options which came with one egg, grits, a biscuit, and I added a slice of bacon. The egg (over medium) was fried in a way the I had to really work at cutting just the edge of the whites. You shouldn't have to use heavy force to cut through an egg white. The grits were probably the blandest thing I've ever tasted. Perhaps they under salt on purpose but it was not to my liking. Now the biscuit was a total 180. It was delicious! Super soft, airy and buttery, just perfect! All in all, I'm glad I tried it but I won't be going out of my way to try it again. read more

Loved there food, great service. Just moved to the city and wanted to try a local breakfast place. Glad I did read more

Love this place and one of my favorite places to go for breakfast or brunch! They are always busy but the wait is almost always pretty quick. I've never had nothing but great service. The food is so good! I'm a cinnamon roll connoisseur and theirs are my favorite! They are huge and great to share with the table or eat on your own! read more

About 15-20 min wait for a party of 6 which isn't bad at all. Our server did a great job of helping us quickly because we were in a rush to get to the airport. Food was delish!! The manager, Kat was a bit rude with the staff. It was a busy morning but I feel she could've given them a little more respect, especially around customers. read more

The food is good. The service is good. My only complaint is that the men's bathroom only has one stall. There's always a line 2-3 people deep waiting for the dang toilet. I ain't going back until they add more stalls. Sorry. read more

We were quickly seated during a weekday lunch. I ordered the waffle special with a sausage patty and an over easy egg. You can't go wrong with breakfast for lunch! The Belgian waffle was delicious and not overly sweet. The syrup helped to add a touch of sweet. Then there was the chicken fried steak with the onion rings and sweet potato fries. The sweet potato fries and onion rings were great. Crispy and not oily. The chicken fried steak was quickly cooked and was soggy. Not a favorite of ours. Breakfast is a must and a banana split pie is a definite must! read more

The food, as always, was excellent. However, we ordered via a third party delivery service that was confirmed by the restaurant at 5:07. At 5:56, we are informed the restaurant has canceled our order, unable to fill. I go directly to the Corner Cafe website to order and says delivery not available, but I was able to place the exact same order for pick up (and did "save " $20 bucks since prices aren't inflated. However, the order was still delayed 15 minutes with slightly rude and apathetic girls bringing my curbside order. I get home and am missing a couple items, one I really wanted . I called and they said they would have at the front. I get there and wait a few minutes and chit chat with other patrons. The place is busy as usual. Fortunately, Kylie shows up. She is apologetic and empathetic to the situation. Her demeanor was perfect and as anyone in service should be. She retrieved my items and added a couple slices of pie to sweeten the deal. If not for her, I'm not certain I would bother trying here again. read more

You have to enjoy consistancy. Cold food, disappearing staff, wondering what you have to do to get something to drink or even silverware. I could see our order in the window and when Cayla was called on it the tossed it in the microwave. Then it became oh look it is fresh out of the kitchen. Nothing like a 15.00 chicken fried chicken hockey puck and an open faced turkey sandwich that tasted like it cane out of a hospital kitchen. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY poor service, cold food, and no value for the price read more

Corner Cafe - Riverside - I guess they are going to have to get smaller buns to make it look like a real sandwich. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Riverside, Missouri

Excellent service and great atmosphere. Arrived hungry from our flights and Corner Cafe didn't disappoint. Cute, clean, and Cozy.

Best Cinnamon Rolls ever! Yummy biscuits and gravy and my boyfriend said the CFS was the delicious.

Love this place. Such a family oriented feel. They were busy but efficient on getting people in and out. I had the chicken fried chicken with fries and Mac and cheese. My friend had the BLT sandwich. My chicken was moist juicy and tasty. Mac and cheese was homemade to perfection. The BLT is reported to be top of the line and plenty fulfilling. Great service, great food, great atmosphere. read more

I've been taking my family to this restaurant for over 30 years and have always loved it. Great country style food and atmosphere, homemade pies and fantastic service. Breakfast is just like I remember from the best diners as a kid. Unfortunately, since COVID, I've noticed a decline in quality. Service is still great but the food is overpriced, mediocre, and servings skimpy. I used to love their Mexican specials on Wednesdays but this last time left me and my wife disappointed. I had the "Burrito with Everything" and she had the "4 Taco Special." Sadly, Taco Bell would've been a better choice. Anyway, I would've rated them 1 star but their service was great. read more

Very sadly, after years of eating here, I had my last breakfast here with a friend a few days ago. As always, excellent service and good food. But, something absolutely devastating happened with this place. The prices have become absolutely unacceptable and extremely, obscenely expensive. 2 people. $50 for breakfast. Yes, you heard me correctly, $50 for breakfast. This will be for any couple and any combination of meals. Look at the menu that I provided pictures of to see this for yourself. Prices are around $21 - $22 now with tax for breakfast meals. Drink + tip and you're at $50 easily for 2 meals, 2 drinks tip. Cinnamon rolls on the way out? Add another $10. We were complaining about the crazy prices and were debating on if we should leave or not, but decided to stay and have one last meal here. We heard another table complaining about prices. We asked our server, a very nice woman about the prices and she shared a few stories of people telling her they would never return as well. One couple had been customers for 27 years and they also told the server it was their last ever visit. Good service, good food but, financially prohibitive and irresponsible. $50+ for any combination of meals here for breakfast, lunch or dinner, factoring in 2 drinks + tip. Just can't do it and I suspect this place has crossed the apex at which, they will now be losing customers slowly and not gaining new ones. Who can afford $50 for breakfast. Family of 4? $100+ easy. 6 to 8 people? $200+ easy. Absolutely disgusting to consider. Good bye Corner Cafe and thank you for all the good meals over the years. But, when one door closes, others open. We are on a search for a new more affordable restaurant to eat ate in this area. 5 Stars for service, 4 for food, 1 star for obscene pricing. Sorry, breakfast or lunch should never ... ever ... cost $50 dollars for 2 people. I would also ask that no one from Corner Cafe respond to my review. I am just not interested in any excuses. If you want to respond, I very strongly suggest you reply by lowering prices. I would also suggest a meeting with your servers as I talked to two server and even they themselves complained about the pricing. read more

We sat there waiting to be helped for a while. When she got to us they where out of what we both where going to order. When she finally came back to see our new order, we had waited even longer. My order blt was good, the tenderloin was dry but edible. Waited even longer to order dessert (love their pies). Only reason we still go their. Had to ask someone to let her know we had been waiting on our check and still took a while. Them she picked up the check and our payment and started helping other customers while we waited on her again. read more

This place use to be one of my favorite places to go, but they have raised prices so much for breakfast you will end up walking out paying almost $20 for an omelet and a drink with tip. To me that is absurd for a 3 egg omelet and a drink. If you are interested in keeping people coming I suggest lowering prices and quit paying so many people to wait tables or stand around. Saw 3 wait people in our little area where we were sitting just to help out around 5-6 tables. I also saw staff standing around not doing anything. Maybe worry about how many people you have just standing around instead of raising prices. My friend and I won't be back. read more

This is a must do place for breakfast. I had pancakes and they were the best I have ever had. Better than IHOP and my own. Biscuits are incredible. Highly recommend. Service was also great and we went on Easter Sunday. Place is cute and has ample parking. A must if you are in KC. read more

Breakfast with substance. Flew into the "New KCI" after a horror story overnight delay in Houston. Arrived at the "New KCI" to learn that baggage claim is outside security, beyond all the "New KCI" mall food court places. Answer? Buzz down to Riverside and get a real "Old KC" breakfast at the Corner! Bad airport planning was good for our breakfast. Spread the word, though, because people are gonna be STUNNED that you can't get breakfast at the "New KCI" if you are Arriving. read more

Great breakfast. Server (Patty) was very helpful and attentive. A busy place but we were seated quickly and i know many restaurants are having trouble finding enough cook staff, our food came out quickly. I splurged and took a months worth of "cheats" to try the cinnamon bun and was not disappointed. I'll stop by just for the baked goods and cinnamon buns next time i come through town. Keep up the good work. read more

Stopped in the Corner Cafe for lunch at approx. 1:30 and sat at the bar stool counter and ordered a chicken fried steak, waitress was very friendly and took my order and she kept checking on me. I had to leave at around 1:50 because it was taking longer than usual to receive my food order and i had an appointment soon. I saw and heard my waitress checked on my order at least three times and they would say it's on the grill. I wish my food would of came because i left hungry. I asked if they offered Veteran discounts..and thats a negative. Might try again and maybe sit at a table instead of barstools. Ruiz, Robert MSgt USMC Retiree read more

stopped by at 8am this morning to get a couple cinnamon rolls to go. A gentleman who was seating people said he could help me. He was boxing up two rolls when another lady comes up and tells him he can't sell one of the cinnamon rolls as it had not set long enough after baking. He handed me the other roll told me to go back to the bar and pay so I headed that way. the same lady was standing there and asked me if the guy up front had given me the roll I said yes and she says "well you can't have it because it belongs to him" as she points to some customer standing there. I'm not sure how the roll in my hand became someone else's...so this place is a cluster and the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. I left empty handed. What's up with being out of cinnamon rolls at 8am? Needless to say that was my final trip to the Corner Cafe. read more

This place never disappoints. The chicken is always well cooked, the gravy makes you miss your grandma, and the dessert - oh man, I've never had a bad one yet. The Platte County Pie is the best of them all though. Only served on Wednesdays, this pie is basically the love child of a pecan pie and a chocolate chip cookie. Today we tried the Missouri Mud Pie and might end up in a delicious sugar coma. It was too much to finish, but worth trying. read more

I wish there was a Corner Cafe closer to us, but we will make the drive! There is never much of a wait unless it is a holiday, but once you are seated, the food and servIce is always fast and food cooked properly. I usually eat a veggie plate and never have room for dessert (so we get a whole pie to go)! The roast beef is great, the salads crisp, chicken to die for! Root beer floats, pies, chocolate cake, all are tasty, and everything is homemade, baby! I want to go right now! read more

Had a wonderful late breakfast with the family. Got seated immediately, and had our drinks within a couple minutes. Our server Kym, was fantastic we did have a little delay on our food but the kitchen was super busy. Sure wish I had room for a cinnamon roll. My Only mini complaint would be that I wish they had little pots of coffee to keep at your table. My cup was empty a couple times. Thank you Corner Cafe for another great meal! read more

Corner Café was a very pleasant surprise to me. I didn't know the place existed until my daughter came in town; we stopped in for breakfast. There was a wait and have been told there is always a wait but don't let the people standing around the doo scare you away. The wait isn't long at all. We had biscuits and gravy, bacon, eggs and the unbelievable satisfying cinnamon roll. You must share it, it is huge. read more

This is a wonderfully charming country cafe - ripe with traditional breakfast fare, lively staff, and a motorcycle. A diner filled with patrons is always a good sign, and this place is consistently packed - but the food misses the mark by a pinch. Though their food is well cooked, and the service is prompt, the seasoning of multiple items seem woefully underserved. I had corned-beef hash, poached eggs, hash browns, and a biscuit. Oh the biscuits! Exceptionally flaky, buttery, cloudy and rich. A spectacular biscuit worth twice as much, and that's where the hyperbole concludes. The corned-beef hash was strange, and like any low-grade hash I've had. The poached eggs were perfectly poached, but without seasonings - which isn't exactly a problem, though it would have been nice. The hash browns again were perfectly fried, but needed salt. Entirely averse to salt, their food misses the high notes of flavor. The cinnamon roll is very large, though I wouldn't exactly call it huge. It tastes as though any cinnamon roll does, and it's covered in a very warm, liquid-type icing that pools underneath this thing. It's good, but if you get an edge piece, you may get some dry edges you might not enjoy. All in all, I don't think I would return. The food is of fine quality and well made, and the prices are extremely fair, but their lack of seasoning ability is entirely incongruous with wait times and distance traveled overall. The pies looked masterful, but I wouldn't be able to back that up with data. If you're close enough, try it and you may like it. The biscuits alone are worth the trip! read more

I like just about everything on the menu and I think I've had just about everything on the menu at Corner Cafe. It's a KC institution and the food is really good. I call it Cracker Barrel with better food. The only miss so far is that they use instant potatoes. Why make so much of your menu from scratch and then skimp on the potatoes? Don't miss the pies. Strawberry, Banana Split, Choco-Loco, etc. super good! read more

I liked it, my husband LOVED IT. We went a little after 8am on a Saturday morning and the parking lot was already packed, we were seated quickly though with no wait. Service was quick and coffee was plentiful, but the food, for me, was just "good", I wasn't wowed. Maybe cause I just got a standard eggs, sausage and grits plate? I dunno, it just didn't excite me. The husband got an extra crispy corned beef hash, which he raved about. It looked pretty good to me in all fairness. He's also had their cinnamon rolls before at a work function and raves about those too. I'll give this place another try, but for me? It was a perfectly acceptable breakfast and service is speedy, but that's it. read more
