Corner Cafe

I have eaten here in the past for dinner which was perfectly acceptable. We (2 adults, 2 kids) tried breakfast today and I left knowing that I would most likely never come back. The restaurant was busy on Sunday for lunch and after having been in business for several years I would expect that they would be better prepared for a busy Sunday. After a short wait we were seated to our table. The first strike for me was that their famous biscuits in gravy are not available after 11:00 a.m. even though breakfast is advertised as being served all day. We placed our order after a few minutes.

Over 40 minutes later we finally received our order. My order was half incorrect, one my son's order was half complete, and all of the food was between lukewarm to cool. After some reminders to the waitress she finally completed my son's order.

Receiving the food almost cold and after taking such a long time is unacceptable to me as there are other restaurants for me to go to that perform better.

Grits - Salty and running away from the bowl
Eggs WERE NOT FRESH
Bacon had been sitting in a grease vat
Smoking is allowed right in FRONT OF THE KITCHEN. SMOKING Bad for food.
Pancakes were not cooked
Biscuit tasted like s!@#
Way out of the KC, MO Center City
Bad bad bad

DON'T waste your time. THIS IS NOT A GOOD PLACE TO EAT

The Corner is located in a prime location. The food is delicious. Big portions and good prices. The staff is very friendly. The place gets packed on the weekends but the people watching and meeting of people when you are waiting for a table is well worth the time you spend. Definitely try this spot out. It's worth it.

The Corner Cafe has been a Riverside legend for decades. After searching the nation for biscuits and gravy as good as Corner Cafe's, I came to realization that there is no rival. Don't order a large plate unless you intend to share! I highly recommend the french toast as well. This place is a must-go if you visit KC.

If you are a connoisseur of biscuits and gravy, try the Corner Cafe. Although there are many other things on the menu, the ability to get the basics right speaks volumes. Their biscuits and gravy are among the best.

My family stopped in for a good breakfast and did not get it. We enjoy steak & eggs for breakfast ocasionally. The steak was tough and and very small for the price, eggs were so-so. Nothing as special as we were lead to believe; along with small portions We left hungry and disappointed. Coffee was good.

I love their rolls! This place is a great place to eat good home cooking. The wait staff are always great never had any problems with them. They have a great selection of desserts and their chicken strip salad is huga and wonderful!

We went to the Corner Cafe during lunch and they were VERY busy. I know why now their food is amazing. Especially the pies. They are all homema more...

This restaurant always has great food!! The service is great & it's a kid-friendly enviroment. I don't visit as often as I'd like, but in the 10 years I've been going there, I've never had a complaint.

PROS: great service, wonderful food
CONS: always busy
