Amazing comeback!! Deliciously prepared meals fresh big portions we love you again! Great service too! read more

Corky's is a nice, jewel of a restaurant with easy parking! Best of all the food is exactly as our waitress Jaclynn K told us "delicious!" The loaded potato skins were more than loaded with bacon & the fish n chips were crunchy & perfectly cooked! She brought out the drinks & order fast, got it correct & checked to see if everything was fine. We even took a doggy bag home! If we hadn't been so stuffed the pies as you walked in were calling to us...but alas maybe another day! read more

I really like this place. People are friendly, food is excellent (breakfast), and service is fast.

The portions are huge! I didn't know so we definitely ordered too much and had leftovers, but I'm not complaining! We ordered the Sweet and Crispy Biscuit Sandwich ($12.99), bowl of chili ($7.39), and 1/2 pound burger ($13.09) with cheese ($0.99). The sandwich and burger both came with a side. Side salad was really wet and the side hash browns weren't really crispy. They also sell pies, cookies, and other bakery items. Service was really great! Sweet and Crispy Biscuit Sandwich (4/5): fried chicken, bacon, and honey combo was good, biscuit crumbled easily into pieces which made a mess Bowl of chili (4/5): your typical delicious chili, portion was small for the price 1/2 pound burger (4/5): thousand island type dressing was so good, thick patty, burger was a tad bit soggy read more

We came here because they have an outdoor patio, and we happened to me on vacation with our fur baby. I ordered their homemade corn hash, home potatoes, and eggs. It was delicious. My hubby ordered the raspberry cheesecake French toast, and it was spectacular. Everything is homemade. Andre was our waiter (and turns out he's also the general manager), and his service was beyond excellent (having to deal with us outside in the 90-degree heat). He even brought our fur baby some ice-cold water. When I went inside, the air conditioning was on and felt great. The inside was popping with customers. If we are ever in the area again, we'd definitely eat here again. Thanks Andre was making us feel at home. read more

The portion and taste of the food was hearty and delicious. So good. Reasonably-priced and attentive service. The man behind the cash register could work on his customer service. He was a little rude to my Dad on our way out. Maybe he was having a bad day. The waiter took care of us. read more

Ordered a number of items one of which an order of cinnamon french toast and it was 2 pieces that did not include butter or syrup was missing the toast that was supposed to accompany another order and ridiculously overpriced for what was received. Disappointing. read more

So if y'all have read my reviews my favorite brunch dish is country fried steak with gravy and eggs. It was meh. The gravy was luke warm and pretty tasteless. The coffee was good and my table mates enjoyed their sandwiches but it's certainly not remarkable or particularly memorable. I heard the pies are fantastic but didn't get a chance to try them. Passable for diner food. read more

Justine(Jess) always has a smile on her face and is always attentive; thank you for being you!! :,] you got this girl

Went on a weekday for breakfast. No problem getting a table and service was prompt. Big issue was the food came out lukewarm and the restaurant was cold inside. Pretty good prices, but overall I'd rate it below average for breakfast on this experience. read more

Delicious homestyle food with friendly service. What more can one ask for?! The steak fries are to die for and their French toast is fluffy and packed with flavor. A definite must try. read more

Located in ladera ranch at the end of crown valley and Antonio pkwy in a shopping center with plenty of free parking. We came in for dinner on Monday evening there was no wait but the restaurant had plenty of customers. We decided on cheeseburgers and a pancake as our dessert. The cheeseburgers came out just as we ordered them medium well and hot steak fries. Food was delicious great ranch to dip our fries too. Our pancake was huge! Covered the plate, Still was delicious between the two of us we ate 1. Great service and good food. I will come back again plenty of variety on their menu. read more

We decided to go to Corky's to end our day after playing in a volleyball tournament. The food was delicious and the service was beyond amazing. The added bonus was running into an amazing opponent that told us it was their favorite place. We will be coming back when back in town. Highly recommend this place for food, service and ambiance.

I came here one time, and the food was amazing. I came two more times, and one time my food had mold on the bread and the other time my food was not cooked completely and it was cold. I just don't understand why they are not consistent, so I will not be coming back here anymore. read more

If you want greasy and unhealthy food, this is the place. The quality of the food is terrible. Blueberry pancakes were disgusting. The bacon is as bad as Denny's; cheap, thin, and too narrow. Not quality thick cuts of bacon. And you get a measly two strips which is more like once slice of bacon or less given how thin it is. The countertops and chairs are filthy. Coffee is atrocious. I can't wait for the day they put a quality breakfast place like Snooze in Ladera Ranch or at the corner of Oso and Antonio (over that unnecessary bike shop). The only bright spot about Corky's is their service. That seems to be holding up. You can also judge the quality of a place with the size of people that show up. Corky's is frequented by whales. read more

The service is great, the portions are amazing and the taste is very good. I come here for comfort food and always seem to settle on their meatloaf. It's amazing and is enough for the wife and I and leftovers for home. read more

Always a wonderful breakfast at Corkys. Great omelets, pancakes, waffles and so much more. Their service is always top notch and the restaurant is clean and pleasant. Thanks to the cooks, servers, management and staff for good service, great food and a full tummy. We highly recommend this eatery to anyone looking for a good hearty meal. read more

Tried this place on a recommendation. The food was very bland, no flavor. The service was terrible! Will not go back.

Just wanted to give a special thank you to Jacklynn for her service today. She was attentive, very accommodating, and had an amazing demeanor. Our family had a wonderful meal and she provided top notch service. Thank you again! We will be back... PS. The food was delicious, huge portions. read more

Been coming here regularly for breakfast for over 10 years but today was the worst. There were 10 of us and the service was fine as far as efficiency was concerned but several orders were not correct, hash browns were crispy on top but completely raw in the centre, and eggs that were ordered "over medium" were only half cooked so that parts of the egg white were still transparent. Will be reconsidering whether we go back. read more

Love coming here great food and service, I love the fresh salads and breakfast. Dining room is clean read more

Corky's Kitchen & Bakery - Huge chicken breast biscuit sandwich - American Near Me - Ladera Ranch, California

If your goal is to get as many calories as possible and don't care about quality or flavor, this is the place for you. The one good: Speed. Our food came out extremely fast. Over abundance of flavorless food. Clearly very low quality ingredients. The chicken in my skillet was completely unseasoned and looked and tasted like that frozen, processed junk Subway serves. Eggs are pale and flavorless. Hash browns were ok. Not really worth the calories. I've had SIGNIFICANTLY better food from Denny's (bonus Dennys is cheaper). Meal was not worth $70 nor worth eating. read more

Reuben (kind of bland meat) and mozzarella sticks were ok, loaded potato skins came with 2 that had toppings and the other 4 were bare and tasteless skin wedges. read more

Came here on a Saturday morning after a grocery run. It was nice seeing it full of people but the server and host were very quick to attend and greet whoever comes in. Instead of eating in we have decided to order to-go. I've always loved coming here because they have a huge selection of different choices. We've ordered several different meal and the food came out fast! We love coming in here and we'll definitely come back again soon! read more

What a cute little diner style restaurant. Came on a Tuesday evening because the child wanted pancakes for dinner and grandma was over to treat. The food was not phenomenal, but very typical diner style food. Tons of options, and large portions. Also had the pot pie and garden salad, which, again, were good for the type of establishment. Service was excellent, as she was patient and attentive to us, although it seemed like she was the only server despite it being very busy for a Tuesday. We ordered a meal to go, which they forgot the fries, but they remedies the situation be providing fries when we called and informed them we did not receive them. Just a bummer that we had to drive back. Otherwise the entire experience was positive. read more

So I had only been to Corky's a few times in the past and always while drinking and out late in the am hours. I ordered the Chicken Fried Steak and Eggs plate. It came with Chicken Fried Steak, 3 eggs (over easy), hash browns and to my surprise I was able to choose biscuit and gravy instead of toast. I also ordered a side of Sausage Patty and a side of Polish Sausage to try them. Good ole Grubhub had sold the place as being able to delivery in 20-30 minutes but upon putting my order in that changed to 50-60 minutes. The driver dropped off the food a smidge earlier than predicted so it was still warm. My first impression was not good as the polish sausage grease ate holes in the styrofoam and leaked all over everything else in the bag. My eggs were done correctly, the has browns were just barely brown and the chicken fried steak had enough gravy to cover the top. Where things went wrong was the rest. The biscuit and gravy was enormous. It was a good 3-4 inches thick and NOT cut in half. They just dumped a piddly amount of gravy over the top. The gravy was bland, didnt have any chunks of meat in it and had a greasy feel to it. I wouldnt even rate it so-so. Very poorly executed, I suggest you stay away from the biscuits and gravy which is a shame as its one of my favorite things to order when I get breakfast. The sausage patty was one patty but it was a good inch thick. I have never seen a patty so thick before. It was browned on both sides and amazingly was cooked all the way through, no pink in the middle. But thats where amazing stopped. The sausage had no flavor at all. No seasoning, nothing. The polish sausage was a big let down as well. It came with 2 sausages that were split in 3 lengthwise, so you had 2 outside pieces and a center piece all still attached and then seared to the point they had no juices in them at all. Just dry, charred pieces of greasy meat. I paid $43 and change for this and ate only the chicken fried steak, some of the eggs and hashbrowns, half of the sausage patty and 1 polish sausage. It left a greasy feeling in my mouth which I could only get rid of once I brushed my teeth. My stomach is doing flip flops over the overall greasiness of the meal. I wont be back. Dont bother adding a message about wanting to talk to me, I wont be back even if I was offered free meals forever. I should have heeded the other reviews complaining of the same thing. read more

An open floor plan restaurant with very affordable breakfast specials but can sometimes be a little too overcrowded since they do not take advanced reservations. Additionally all of the seating outside is in the sun and they got rid of the tents that covered outdoor seating for those that want a little shade with their meal. They are good with kids however the chaos of the open floor plan makes it difficult to find a safe place to put a stroller and it can be easy for people to bump into each other read more

Was pleasantly surprised by the breakfast burritos. Nice size and flavor, with crispy hash browns vs some places that have soggy larger potato chunks. Done delivery a few times with good results. Never dined in. read more

Worst experience to date!! Lived in the community for the past 20 years... this place has gone downhill, sad!! Staff had lack of care, poor service, bad food! Ick! Super disappointed! read more

Corkys! It's like a hole in the wall dennys! Its open 24/7 and has a large selection from all breakfast to burgers to steak to fish! They have friendly vegetarian options too! I've never had a bad time at Corkys. The staff is always so nice too. The best part about Corkys is that at night time it doesnt get crowded with parties of people who are looking for a snack after drinking or partying. The food is pretty good, and the portions are HUGE. I can never finish my meals! Love it! read more

Corky's Kitchen & Bakery - Breakfast and a burger - American Near Me - Ladera Ranch, California

So for 24 hour diners selection is pretty slim as really only Denny's in the immediate vicinity and service and quality can be lacking but there is also Corky's Kitchen. It'a more akin to a Coco's vs a Dennys because can grab a decent pie or a solid muffin as they have the bakery aspect. The service here can be slow but it is rarely crowded and their overall prices have not really gone up much considering inflation and cost of goods. Tried their renown chicken pot pie (may also choose Turkey instead) and its reputation is well earned. It's enormous as almost as big as a regular pie pan. The crust is buttery and flaky, the chicken is moist as well as plentiful, and the vegetable and the sauce mixed in make for a divine combination of flavors. It's a massive meal and comes with choice of a great dinner roll or a muffin. I could only power through half before tapping out but look forward to eating it again as this is well received comfort food during the cold fall and winter days. read more

We had breakfast here a few weeks ago. Corykys has good food here. I got the Pancakes again this time. Place was packed with families, and children . Love the menu choices here. I had the best golden pancakes ever. Bacon and Eggs were good too. I will keep coming back. read more

An update so soon?! Yep. Corky's has become that quick and easy weekday breakfast spot. This time around I went rogue and ordered lunch for breakfast. In yo face, America! My month long veg fest is officially over and the Turkey Cobb sandwich was calling my name! Toasted rye bread, turkey, avocado, tomatoes, lettuce, mayo, and blue cheese. This was delicious, simple, and had amazing fresh flavors and textures. A little heavy with the bleu cheese crumbles, but I powered through. You can order basically any side with this so I subbed the fries for cottage cheese. Glad I did, because this Sammy is very filling. This was my first time ordering off the lunch menu and I'll think I'll be back for more. Corky's, the long con is working on me. read more
