    A great diner that give huge portions that can be shareable . This place has stayed consistent throughout the years and that's the truth . We live in OC and only visit this place once in a while if we're in the area . They have great hours . The theme is cute and they keep it clean . The food looks and taste very good .

    Pastrami sandwich

    Driving back to LA from Temecula, we stumbled upon this gem of a place. We were in the mood for brunch/breakfast, and GoodFella's absolutely came through. The restaurant is spacious, and the walls are decorated with photos of old Hollywood stars and classic scenes from The Godfather, The Sopranos, and Goodfellas. The menu is extensive -- breakfast, lunch, and dinner options for everyone. I ordered the ham steak and eggs with home-fried potatoes and biscuits. My ham steak was huge with a nice char that gave it a smoky flavor. The biscuits were light and delicious. My daughter had the French toast and said it was so good that she could only eat half of it because the portion was generous. My husband enjoyed his pastrami sandwich and appreciated the hearty amount of meat. My only tiny wish is that they advertised that they serve sparkling wine -- I would have definitely ordered a mimosa! But that's just me, and it didn't take away from the experience at all. The excellent service, great food, and the fact that the place was packed tells you everything -- this is clearly a local favorite. We will definitely be back!

    After trying several breakfast spots in the Corona-Norco area. I have continued coming back to GoodFella's cafe due to their consistently good service, food, and experience. Let's start with the food. I ordered off the traditional breakfast portion of the menu. Today, I ordered polish sausage and eggs ($18.95) and my friend ordered bacon and eggs ($17.95). The traditional breakfasts include eggs your way; your choice of side including: potatoes (home fries or hash browns), cottage cheese, or fruit; and your choice of toast, pancake, or biscuits and gravy. Today I ordered the polish sausage with scrambled eggs, home fries, and sourdough toast. My meal came out warm and quick. The food itself was delicious and a large portion. Honestly, I could have had split with my friend. The service has always been consistently good at GoodFellas. The waiter was attentive and kept checking in on us to see if we were ready to order and continually filled our waters. While the waters do not engage in small talk, they are quick and attentive with their customers. Goodfellas does get busy on the weekends, but during the week there's no wait. There's plenty of tables and booths that offer a variety of seating.

    Four egg Mediterranean omelette w/hash browns and two thick pancakes

    Nothing to say but good things about this place. The name is exactly what it means. The place was packed when we got there on a Saturday around 12:30 pm. We were seated in a reasonable period of time and were glad to see that they offered a lot of breakfast items. The menu is extensive, from large-portion appetizers to full-on steak and other dinners. I decided on a 4 egg Mediterranean omelette. It comes with dual side options and I got the hash browns and pancakes. This place does not play when it comes to portions. I am a hearty eater who is trying to watch it with my mid-life but it was so delicious and lots to take home. Delicious olives, pepper, onions, mozzarella cheese ( comes w/salami and I opted out) . The plate was enough to easily feed two if not three, w/plenty of leftovers for another meal or two. Apparently they are known for their portions. The waitress was great, checked on us often. I ordered a coffee and it was probably the best restaurant coffee I have had. Ambiance was busy, large diner, mobby atmosphere, lots of memorabilia on the walls - see my video attached to this review. The menu has so many amazing sounding items on it and what I will try next is the 11oz chicken fried steak, available in a breakfast or a dinner. You can't go wrong with this place and the prices and food are excellent. Will update when I return about other options I've tried.

    The ambiance here is totally fitting the name. The wait staff uniforms are perfect. I had ham and scrambled eggs with biscuits and gravy and breakfast potatoes. The eggs and biscuits were cold. BUT the breakfast potatoes were amazing. The food just needs to be at least warm when served. The service is ok nothing special.

    Chicken avocado burger was super fresh but kinda bland. The fries killed it though  crispy and delicious
    Laura H.

    Loved the nostalgia of this place! So great to see so many pics of all the greats and some VERY famous autographs oh, and the food is delicious. Especially breakfast, YUM. It's great to experience this place at least once. Service was great too.

    I recently tried GoodFella's Cafe while on a drive home from Corona (I don't live in the area). My friends and I loved how they really nailed it on the theme. The memorabilia in the entry way was pretty impressive too. Our server was really upbeat and friendly. We ordered a bunch of food and had a lot of left overs. We got the Rat Pack Sampler, Club Sandwich, Grilled Cheese and Fries. Everything was pretty good - think diner style. It didn't blow us out of the water, but was still good. I think the biggest pull here is all the photo-worthy areas. Also, it's always fun to try a restaurant you don't normally have in your area. If I'm ever driving through again, I'd definitely go back and try again. I also am curious about their breakfast, because it looked like they have some awesome offerings.

    Goodfellas Cafe is probably the hottest breakfast spot in Corona. It may not be the most viral, but it is definitely the most consistent with a full parking lot and a wait during peak breakfast hours. The food here never fails to exceed our expectations, especially when it comes to portion sizes. While some people may not love huge portions, I personally enjoy being able to turn one meal into two. Goodfellas is a place my family and friends have consistently visited over the years, and the service is always friendly. The restaurant has a strong, well-executed theme that fits the Goodfellas name, with a gritty, old-school mob-style vibe that adds to the experience. It is always busy, and whether that is your thing or not is up to you, but for us, it has never disappointed. Next time, I'll take a cup of gravy to go!

    Easily one of the best cafe's in the Inland Empire!!! Located just off the CA-91 in Corona, Goodfellas serves up a mean breakfast Monday through Friday until 12:30pm (2:30pm on weekends). Try their huevos rancheros... you will be satisfied!

    Huge portions and great food! The place was packed and we waited outside for about 10 minutes. Service was great and they have lot of menu options. Everything we got was good!

    We had been hiking in the area and needed a bite to eat before we headed back home. Found Goodfellas cafe by recommendations on Yelp. I was surprised that I had never heard of this place as being a fan of the movie! So glad we did. The place is filled with mobster memorabilia from the movie with the menu reflecting Italian home cooking. Service was excellent. Seated promptly and the waitress made some great recommendations since it was our first time there. Food was delicious and very filling. Restaurant was clean. Oldies playing in the background. I can't wait to come back and try more items.

Wait Staff: I wish I took the name of our waitress because she was awesome, funny and knowledgeable about the menu. All waiters/waitresses were great. Drinks: Unfortunately I didn't get any drinks because we kept seeing the brightly colored drinks and flights being served around us and I was jealous, they all looked awesome. Food: This is where it gets good because the food was A+++mazing. We started off with just the salsa, chips and for a nice surprise, some warm beans. The salsa brought a tear to my eye because it was soooo good. Luckily, my son doesn't eat salsa so I drank it all down. The chips were perfectly fresh and crispy. Guac: So, our waitress brought us some off the menu guac, and, WTF, why are they hiding this recipe from the rest of the world. I literally got into a fist fight with my son because he was trying to take it from me (not really) but I didn't want to share. The presentation was so cute too. Plantains + chips + guac = heavan Fajitas: I ordered fajitas and all boxes were checked, quantity, quality, and taste. I ordered the chicken and it was juicy and thick and perfectly seasoned. Steak tacos: My kid ordered the steak tacos and we brokered a deal to trade some steak for chicken and this was the best deal made since the New Deal (American history). Steak was chunky and juicy and fresh! The only problem with this place is that it is very far from my house as I was in the 'hood for my kids basketball tournament.

The bartender took our drink order, and we received chips and salsa, which were very good. However, the bartender seemed a bit distracted, forgot about us, even though it wasn't a busy night. We decided to give it another chance since so many people seem to enjoy this place. We visited again, and we ordered a few drinks, received chips and salsa, then placed our food order. We waited for a bit and ordered a few more drinks. Unfortunately, after waiting about an hour, we never received our meal or any update on its status. We eventually decided to close out our bill. At that point, we noticed we had been charged for the meal we never received, as well as drinks that were not served. When we brought this to the bartender's attention, they raised their voice and told us we were wrong, which caught us by surprise. I understand that things can get busy, but a lack of communication and being spoken to disrespectfully is unacceptable. A simple check-in or update would have made a big difference. Based on this experience, we're unlikely to return. We really wanted this to work, but maybe you had to be regular customer to get better service?! We tried, but this place is a solid No for us.

It's because of this I got very familiar with Swedish Crepes or Pancakes, as some might call them. I don't know if they were ever my favorite style of pancakes but they were always an option on those rare occasions I wanted something with more fruit than blueberry. Tara always appreciated me making an effort to broaden my perspective on what a good pancake or crepe constituted. That being said, I hardly ever run into great Swedish crepes. Usually the butter or compote is sub-standard, and I usually feel like I should've gotten something different. Silver Dollar Pancake House makes some majestic Swedish crepes. Yes, it's more of a cranberry than a lingonberry, but otherwise the compote and Swedish butter are spot-on. The crepes came out nice and thin, but still super flavorful. Everything came together so great. Even the fact the special comes with six sausages after you switch out the bacon is amazing. I would get this deal over and over again. The service at the counter was frenzied and focused. Every time I needed my coffee refilled, the server was on it. The food came quickly and there were frequent check-ins. It's literally everything you could want in customer service at a counter. Yes, the ambiance is bit crowded and a bit hectic. I don't envy trying to get a seat in the dining room because everything is but cramped up in there. That being said, I don't think anyone waited longer than fifteen minutes and folks seemed genuinely glad to be there. It's the price you pay for eating at a popular breakfast spot with breakfast entrees this delicious. Plus, eating at the counter always seemed open. And from someone who hates eating at counters most of the time, that's saying a lot that I would suggest it as a viable option. Overall, this is the dream place for those like Tara who can't get enough of pancakes and a damn good option for those like me who are content to keep their amateur status intact by only occasionally indulging in the Swedish signature dish.

Unfortunately, the service didn't match the quality of the food. We dined on a Tuesday evening, and the restaurant appeared to be less than 50% full, making the service issues even more surprising. Our server was training a new employee during our visit, which made the overall experience even more concerning. Our courses came out of order, and when we asked about it, the wait staff blamed the kitchen rather than taking ownership of the issue. Regardless of where the breakdown occurred, it made for a disjointed dining experience. The cocktails were poured extremely heavy, which may appeal to some guests but felt unbalanced to us. After our dinner plates were cleared, dessert was brought out without anyone bringing us fresh utensils. After waiting, I ultimately had to get my own utensils so we could enjoy our dessert. The biggest disappointment was that I had noted on my reservation that we were celebrating my wife's birthday and also mentioned it to our server when we arrived, but it was never acknowledged. We weren't expecting anything complimentary--a simple "Happy Birthday" would have made the evening feel more personal and appropriate for the occasion. Seeing these service issues while a new employee was being trained left us wondering what standards are being emphasized for new staff. Based on our experience, it did not reflect the level of hospitality we would expect at a restaurant of this caliber. The kitchen is clearly doing an excellent job, and we'd return for the food. However, for a restaurant that positions itself as one of the premier dining destinations in town, the overall service experience fell well short of expectations. Management should take a close look at its service standards, front-of-house processes, and overall guest experience to ensure they align with the quality of the cuisine and the level of dining the restaurant aims to provide.
