    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.

    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

    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.

My wife ends up getting the same tot scramble every time because of how good it is and I think it's amongst the best things of their menu. A few negatives this time: - asked for an empty plate and was given one that was pretty dirty (almost noticeably dirty) and had leftover food on the side of it from last use. - the price has become a little much. I'd like to see the prices go down about 25% and it would be perfect. - added cheese to my eggs and in my opinion, it could have been a bit more cheese on it. - not much a negative but more a personal preference. The waffle I got had almost too much butter on it. Again, not a negative, and I could have just put half of it to the side, but almost every bite ended up with too much butter. That's my fault. Other than these few things, very enjoyable and I would come back. I loved the bacon and my wife's farm skillet. Last time we came they gave us an envelope to use next time for a surprise discount. I would like to see more of that going forward to fix the price issue.

They have an extensive menu and they can make adjustments if you ask (for example, I asked for egg whites in my scramble). They still make a mean michelada. I've also had their Runway Omelet with bacon, tomatoes, and spinach and it is really yummy. We like to sit out on their patio and they do have mist fans for when the weather gets really hot. The servers are very attentive and I will say that the food comes out lightning quick. If you get a kids meal, don't forget to ask for the accompanying toy . If you walk a bit from the café in a western direction, you will get to a spot where they have a covered area with benches and this is a great spot to watch the airplanes land and take off.

The reviews had shown that a lot had changed, and Yelpers were trying to tell me that. But could they change our mind? It was still the same basic, old fashioned building, but with minor expansions and some quirky upgrades. I have to say, the interior is cute and clean and their servers are delightful. But more importantly, it seemed they had a different owner. Could this possibly be a game changer? I settled on a Vegetarian Scramble, 2 eggs, with tomato, bell pepper, spinach and mushrooms, sharing the plate with house potatoes and a generous slab of avocado on the side. Deliciously done. I didn't even realize that there was no cheese until writing this review...duh! Yes, it was yummy... I would get this again. Huevos Rancheros. While surprised that the "fried tortillas" were flabby, not crisp, Mr. B decided he enjoyed the meal overall, especially the tasty, homemade Ranchero sauce. The over-easy eggs were nicely done; their refried beans were a success as well. Too bad the home-style potatoes were overcooked and, in some cases, he said they were "burnt". Me, I confess to liking burnt/ well caramelized, so I inherited them. It's true, some of them were harder than hard, but the rest were ok. Curious, we also indulged in sides, i.e. both types of sausage. The patties were delicious, the links were plump. I thought it would be hard to choose between them, but on our second visit (see below), I decided that their brand of sausage link simply was not for me. The taste was off. The coffee came in a huge mug and our server made sure the cup was filled often. Great job! However, I've had better coffee; this one was super thin, brown water both times we visited. I cannot recommend the coffee for serious coffee drinkers. Great multi-grain and seed, wheat toast with plenty of butter. Right up my alley. Also on our second visit, we ordered the Tres Leches pancake combo and chilaquiles with verde sauce. The pancakes were beautiful with a buttery cinnamon sauce, topped with sliced fresh strawberries and whipped cream. This was a nice choice. The chilaquiles had a nicely seasoned verde sauce but the pork chunks themselves were hard and lean. That was a turn off. Mr B also got a side of bacon. It was crisp and super thin. I thought it tasted good, but he did not. And at a $4 charge for two skinny slices, it was not worth it. More bad news. Some of the food, particularly the sausages and the ranchera sauce, came out of the kitchen slightly warmer than room temperature. This happened both visits. On our first visit they were not particularly busy, so it was hard to justify why things cooled down so quickly, even before arriving at our table. The second visit, I ended up sending the cold sausage back and requested they cook it longer. That backfired, because then, the sausage links came back way overdone. I had complained enough that visit, so I just left them uneaten. The sausage did not come home with our leftovers. This little cafe has strengths but also weaknesses, some of which I cannot forgive, like weak coffee and cold food. I cannot agree with others that this is the best Corona has to offer for breakfast. They're good, but we have better, more consistent options.

    Ever had to take back your words and eat them?…read more Such are my thoughts about El Cerrito Cafe. Quite awhile ago we had breakfast here. Their Chicken Fried Steak was not an experience I chose to remember, with uncooked heavy breading, and clearly not hand dipped. Even the gravy failed. So, it took us some 5+ years to return. It was only because the Yelp masses kept giving them the thumbs up that helped change my mind and try again. This time we left happy. My better half was very happy with his hard taco plate. The shredded beef filling was very good, and because there were three tacos, there was more than enough to ensure he had leftovers. The rice and beans were nicely seasoned as well. The rice never made it home, I found it too irresistable, so gobbled it down myself. Very unusual for me. Then came my breakfast burrito, the El Cerrito Burrito (my sneaky way of tasting all the traditional breakfast meats in one fell swoop). It's a hefty conglomeration of ham, sausage, and bacon, scrambled egg, fried potato, and big chunks of fresh avocado. Wonderful. A little over half of that came home for a second meal. And I could not get enough of their fresh, lightly spicy salsa. It paired perfectly with the burrito. So, while I still cannot vouch for their Chicken Fried Steak, I can assure you, we are going to add El Cerritos Cafe into our rotation of good, local breakfast spots and let bygones be bygones. Final tip, everything was moderately priced, making it a great choice for budget minded families. Service = great. Ambiance = super cute, rustic Western themed. Hospitality = very friendly The only thing missing? No homemade pies lovingly baked by the little ol' granny hiding in the back. I could get pretty excited over that!

We've lived in the area for over 5 years and not once went in until today. How did we miss this place? We drive by it all the time coming through Ontario Ave side street to get home. Talking about great customer service under limited server and plenty of guests arriving at the hour. That means, Ms Waitress was serving all the arriving guests ALL BY HERSELF!! Just amazing. This establishment, tucked on the side road along Ontario Ave in Corona towards El Cerritos Middle School is ACTUALLY a gem of an eatery. Upon arrival, our waitress welcome and greeted us with open arms. Her vibe gave out the "you're home to home cooking"!! For a party of two, we were seated right away at a nearby booth. There are 7 big booths and 2 large tables in the main room; seating up to 4 people. The Catina looks to be an additional few more tables and chair setup. Their slogan: "Good Food, Good Friends, Good Times" We order the Breakfast Burrito and French Toast meal along with two cups of coffee to help process the food :) The burritos was just as magical and delicious as this tucked away place. The French toast was made well and just perfect to go along with the syrup. We also ordered a pancakes to go which we know will be enjoyed by our little one. HIGHLY Recommended this establishment to everyone near and far to give it a dine in try. We'll be back for more things to try next time.
