I hv visited this Corkys many times over the yrs as its a convenient spot to meet friends from Riverside. About two months ago I went & ordered breakfast- pancakes, scrambled eggs sausage & bacon- not the best, but I was hungry. Today we went there again, & because I'm a slow learner, I ordered the same thing. The food was not hot when it arrived & it went down hill. The eggs were mushy, watery, not much taste to the pancakes (they had definitely been under a heat lamp) bacon & sausage had been cooked to death. First bite of the hash browns & I remembered the previous time! They had a metallic taste, two bites, no more. As I walked to my car I saw the Jack in the Box & regretted not going there.. might go back with friends but never for breakfast, learned my lesson! read more

CARBS ARE ALWAYS THE ANSWER, TO ANY FREAKY LIFE QUESTIONS! HENCE, BEING A BIG FAN OF CORKYS! My sister Gena and I (we resemble the Simpson's Aunties Selma & Patty. See photo), had just spent the afternoon visiting our mom and adopted sister Pam (she's not legally adopted, she's just been our friend forever and like another daughter to our mom) in SD(2 1/2 hour drive! In the rain! Through the SD North East county mountains! Yes, we're really good daughters!). Then in the late afternoon/early evening we left to head back home and ended up (we don't know how it happened) at a casino! It turned into a roller coaster of emotions (like my past relationships and how I felt when we're obligated to visit our father) at the casino! After losing...we parted ways with Pam and we headed back home. We decided we needed comfort food, half way home, so I looked up the closest Corkys! I always find this place to be packed with the aromas of Southern Granny's kitchen! Their foods so good it could bring tears to a glass eye! We ordered a "Booty Huge" Brownie Sundae (seriously, that's what it should be called! It's HUGE! And it'll make yo booty bigger than the lies our dead beat father told us!) We loved it! It's just what we needed to cheer us up! Large delectable slab of chocolate brownie piled high with vanilla ice cream, slathered with hot fudge sauce then sprayed with a mountain of whipped cream!!! See photo! (While talking the photo, Gena said "Hurry and take your dumb a$$ photo" I replied "you're a dumb a$$!" Then we laughed and laughed...) The brownie sundae was so big we both couldn't finish it and were big gals! Our server was lovely! We showed up at about 8:45pm, Saturday night (3/23/24) so there was only one server, one hostess, one cook and one bus person. They were all busting their hump cleaning up and getting the place ready for the morning shift, while still tending to the customers with great service! Who ever the hired these folks did a great job! You're lucky to have them!!! I wish I could remember our servers name!!! Atmosphere isn't like the Corkys I usually visit, I can't pinpoint exactly what was off, but i don't the comfy feeling I usually get at a Corkys kitchen. But it was clean! (See photos and video) If you've never been to Corkys kitchen, ya gotta go!!! Especially for breakfast! Their breakfast skillets and Biscuits & Gravy, will send you to Jesus! SSDGM, Elaine Ps. Corkys do you have T-shirts? If so, I'm a women's size medium. Thanks in advance! read more

Corky's !!!! Is so comforting, the food to taste like its homemade. When we are traveling, if we see a Corky's. We all get excited and that's where we're gonna eat. No argument there. If you are looking for a homemade style, breakfast, lunch or dinner. You will definitely get that homemade feeling at Corky's. Great atmosphere good portions. Oops !! I forgot prices's. Fantastic you'll have extra money to return for breakfast on the next day don't forget to pick up one of their amazing pies on the way out !!! read more

We just finished having breakfast this Saturday and Skyler was amazing. She was super attentive and got us all the condiments, napkins, extra coffee without us asking. I motioned to my husband to pass me something while we were eating and she saw me point and quickly came to our table as she passed to see if I needed anything. Great service. Great job Skyler!! read more

Food was great , service pretty quick and people were nice. Portions are good sized. I will be going back here.

My family and I have eaten here many times. The portions are exceptionally big and good for sharing. We have a great experience eating here because the wait staff are wonderful. They are all so friendly. I gave 4 stars only because I'm not always happy with the taste of my food but I do love all staff which makes me always come back read more

Went in for the first time ever. I'm not a fan of diners, but decided to try this spot for a quick business morning meeting for our staff. Pricing was ok. Food was not good. Pancakes were not good and bacon was probably the worst I'd ever eaten. I know a lot of people talk about this spot, but I don't know why. I was left perplexed. read more

I usually don't comment but I had an enjoyable meal and wonderful server named Jeri what great service and very pleasant thank you

Awesome steak and eggs !!!! Everything was perfect. The service was great too. Looking forward to coming back and having another great experience. read more

We had THE worst apple pie for Thanksgiving! We ended up throwing it away.. It seemed like it had no sugar and the apples were sour, I will never order a pie from here again! And it was expensive too! read more

Went to the Corona location on this particular visit. I find myself impressed at the consistency across locations. They obviously have a good training program. Food is always excellent, nice portions, good value, service is great. For the most recent visit, I had dinner, but I'm a big fan of the breakfast menu as well. I hope they can eventually expand back to 24 hours, like pre-Covid, but I know Covid killed a lot of businesses and many had to scale back hours in order to even survive. Anyway, Corky's is always in my rotation. read more

My name is Karen, Two friends and I went to Corky's after church, my compliment is for Raelene the server, she was awesome, she was right on top of everything from making sure our water glass was filled, to making sure everything was brought to the table the way we ordered it. She was kind, and pleasant to have as a server, some servers not so much, not at Corky's but other places I have frequented she was engaging. That is important to me, The food came to the table hot and very well presented. And every thing was done to order. The place was clean, and decorated for Easter, My favorite the display with the sweets was clean and very well stocked. All in All awesome Thank you Raelene for an awesome experience.

Good prices excellent service and plenty of seating. Came here for breakfast the other day and was pleasantly greeted with smiles and a welcome. The staff is pretty much at 100% from what I could see so service was great Food came out pretty quick and we didn't wait too long for the ordering. Taste was good but a bit on the unhealthy side but that's my fault for the choices I made I'll return soon. Love this place and location Thank you read more

I picked up the Thanksgiving meal for 6 this year. The sliced white meat turkey breast was so moist and tender. The mashed potatoes, green beans with bacon, cranberry sauce and rolls were incredibly good. I'm a southern cornbread stuffing kind of girl but for white bread stuffing, theirs was very good. I have absolutely no complaints on any of the items and the portions were very generous. I made creamed corn and a mashed sweet potato casserole myself and the Thanksgiving meal was fantastic. Very organized pickup at the back of the restaurant. I would definitely order their Thanksgiving meal again! read more

Another screw up on my online order. I showed up with written email confirmation showing my order and the staff acts like they don't know what I'm talking about. Then somebody comes out and says the manager didn't notify them about my order. I showed up 4 hours later for my order as planned. Now I'm waiting and waiting! Not happy with this place at all. No more! read more

Good food and great service. Prices aren't cheap but there aren't any cheap good eating places these days. Their Barnyard Breakfast at $10.95 is very good. Their waitress Sarah is exceptional. read more

I struggled with giving Corky's a 3 star review... there's so much I like about it and the food is typically really good. It lands at 3 because it is inconsistent. Definitely a place I would eat any time of day and most of the time it would be a 4 or 5 star event. But then there are the times when it is a 1 or 2 star dining experience. So I am bullseye-placing-it square in the middle. Breakfast is delicious here, on the upside of the greasy spoon scale. Crispy bacon, teeth sinkable toast, omelets, hearty skillets, corned beef and hash, sammies, French toast, pancakes... really, you name it. I'm not an egg fan so the egg dishes here have never tempted me, but I sure do love the breakfast burritos! Large and full of flavor and rib stickin' goodness. Chorizo is my meat of choice on this. French toast is also fantastic, as well as the blueberry pancakes. I really really want to try the Raspberry French Toast, but it is Raspberry CHEESECAKE French Toast and cheesecake is on my most hated list.... but dang does it ever look delicious and for those of you looking to try something a little different, I would recommend!! Lunch and dinner also provides quite a huge selection. I think their cheeseburger is one of the best burger-burgers I've ever had. The brioche bun is toasted and buttery, meat is like homemade and the entire package is juicy and the full dance. Served up with everyone's favorite steak fries. The Cobb Sandwich is a wonderful invention of theirs, never heard of one before but it should be a "thing" because it's delish!! Complete with bleu cheese crumbles, bacon and all!! Mushroom bacon Swiss burger, served on crispy toasted sourdough. Fish and Chips, steaks and chicken pot pie... all are among our favorites at Corky's Normally the Chicken Fried Steak is a good option, however on the last visit, my BIL said it tasted like oatmeal.... sooo...... Now the desserts. You simply cannot go to Corky's without getting something! I mean even a Yelp Check-In gets you a free cookie!! Cookies are AWESOME!! There is also a wide variety of personal pies as well as standard sized pies, cheesecakes, muffins, and those delicious cookies can be made into a cookie sundae, c'mon, so good!! Freshly made shakes, beer, sodas are all available. Service. Hmmm. I'd say typically it is one of three ways. Ever seen the old show Alice? Well, there are all three of those types of servers here; Flo, Vera, and Alice. All are pleasant. The service can be slow, but they also can get really busy... so consider that. We've never been unhappy though, even with the abrupt ones, they are still funny, and will tell you the truth about what to order.. .and what NOT to order. Prices are what to be expected. Meals will average about $12 per person. Not too shabby! See you again soon, Corky's! ************************** YELP CHECK-IN: Free Cookie! ************************** Cheers!! read more

Car keys is a very good breakfast restaurant. It also has good soups as a relaxed atmosphere. The service is very good whether one eats there or brings something home. read more

Joli is the best and the food is really good!!!! Breakfast burritos and the barnyard for my kids.

We spent so long here and it was wholly dissatisfying. We got to the restaurant around 11:45am-the restaurant was not crowded. Its a folksy restaurant, nothing fancy-lots of kitsch on the walls It took over 20 min to get our drink orders (two of them) and a few minutes longer than that to get our order taken. One person in our party ordered two appetizers as their meal (potatoes skins and onion straws); we ordered the chicken tenders from the kids menu with a grilled veggies and bananas for the 1 year old in our group; and one adult ordered a pastrami sandwich, add Swiss with steak fries. Onions came first, then potato skins. Several minutes later came the kids meal. At that time, we were told the sandwich was being made and would be right out-but it was another solid 15 minutes before it came out. The pastrami was fatty and dry-and they left off the cheese. I was told it would be a crispy roll, it wasn't. The steak fries were fresh-but not very much on the plate. It wasn't worth $17, IMHO. We did request the cheese Upcharges be removed and were told they'd remove it-they did remove the cheese but the whole sandwich should have been free. The children's chicken tenders were grilled and generous sized-but the vegetables were huge for a child's plate. There was a generous amount of bananas. The onion straws were good fresh but since no one else had food, they got cold waiting for everyone else to get their food. The potato skins had a creamy stale flavor-we've had them before and these were just off. We were in the restaurant all told for almost 2 hours-it was ridiculous. read more

Great food and wonderful service from our waitress Diane!! She's was very attentive and friendly!

Corky's Kitchen is our go to place for breakfast . Their senior menu is perfect and service as good as it gets !

I got the chili verde omlet, the flavor is excellent & not too spicy. However as you can see only cheese inside and only 3 lil pieces (bite size) of pork on top. I complained and she brought a lil bowl that had 2 more pieces. For basically $16 not worth it! To top it off I didn't specify light or dark on my hash browns, but as you can see they were burnt. read more

Diane is always an amazing and attentive server and today was no different. I had a gigantic and delicious Cobb salad, and got to take half of it home for dinner! I'm doing "The Daniel Plan" whole food diet, and when hubby suggested Corky's I wondered what I would be able to order- there were actually a lot of choices on the menu! Corky's is awesome and even when crowded the wait is reasonable. We always get great service and Diane is a favorite for sure! read more

The food came out in a timely manner especially because of my server Jolie. She had already clocked out, but took a little extra time to make sure my server received my order. While the person that was supposed to be my server was occupied, Jolie refilled my coffee and delivered my toast. I've had her before and her doing a little extra is not unusual. read more

Corky's rarely disappoints. I would come more often but there are none near me. Today my omelette had a generous portion of bacon and mushrooms. The biscuit without the gravy was a miss but Cameron immediately brought me toast which was very good. Cameron my server was efficient, friendly and very sweet. Truly appreciated her service. As for ambience, it's a coffee shop but clean and pleasing. Definitely recommend if you want good hearty food. read more

The Corona location was great. Spacious, super crowded this morning, and still, we didn't wait longer than 5 mins. The food was okay and portions are large. Our server was sweet and checked on us, but no refills offered for coffee or our drinks. Four stars for the service and food. Bill for all items rounded to $74 --not including the two cookies purchased (total was $9 and some change)-chocolate chip walnut & snowman. Note: the free cookie offered upon check in doesn't apply to just any meal--read the fine print. You have to purchase a particular chicken sandwich--so unfortunately, no free cookie for us today. read more

Corky's is a more upgraded version of a Denny's with better quality food at slightly higher prices. Today our visit around 11:00AM saw many patrons picking up advance orders of Corky's delicious pies and rolls for Thanksgiving dinners. We were warmly greeted and shown to one of the few available tables as the restaurant was near capacity. My raspberry stuffed french toast combo came loaded with raspberry preserves and topped with powdered sugar and softened butter. The accompanying eggs over easy and two sausage links were done just right. Not for those counting calories, but quite good. My companion chose the Country Benedict which was a mountain of eggs, cheese, hash browns with a side of sausage gravy to pour over everything. Very tasty and very filling. Our server stopped by several times to check on us and keep our beverages topped off. Although the restaurant was very busy this day, there was an army of efficient and friendly staff to ensure short wait times to receive your food and to provide high quality service. We love Corky's! read more

Stopped in yesterday for breakfast. Omlet was Ok service was good. The Biscuit was stale and hard as a rock. The waitress offered to replace it but my wife's was hard also, so I passed. The waitress gave us two muffins to make up for it, in our doggy bag. Got home and come to find out the muffins were stale and hard also. They are suppose to have great bakery, not so. We will not be going back. read more
