Ya wow you want home cooking,this is it ,Breakfast, Lunch,Diner.The best place in all four corners of the Metro hands down. Our server was outstanding,just go.
The Corner Cafe has all the favorites you go out to eat for, their specials of the day are tastefully assembled to provide a variety of meals that vary day to day. We enjoyed the pot roast dinner. The roast was tender and flavorful, and the ham and beans are stick to your ribs good. The atmosphere is eclectic with shades of Cracker Barrel touches of old signs but the two things that stand out are the Indian and Harley bikes, looms origional but ready to ride. Love this place, come on down to Riverside and grab some grub, you will be glad you did.
My absolute favorite place to get a home cooked meal!. This place is a 10/10 in every sense of the word!. From the old school decore, to the little diner bar set up, the fresh baked pies and cinnamon rolls to the old school home cooked meals. I mean it really doesn’t get any better than this!. Do not! miss out on their crispy fried chicken with the mashed potatoes and gravy with the side of spicy apples!!! Absolutely amazing!! I also tried the peach cream soda drink and that was heavenly (not that I’m surprised at this point). My happy place!
Our server Kaitlyn on 12/6 was so sweet! Our food was perfect and she was correct, we did love the cinnamon rolls. I highly recommend coming here! It’s our new favorite when we come to KC! I can’t wait to come again soon. I loved the atmosphere, it was so cozy and warm. It smelled soooo good! We ordered our cinnamon rolls to go & waited 15 mins just to get them fresh🤤. Delicious!! They do have shirts, I think the long sleeve was $22, I can’t remember the short sleeve but I’ll definitely be buying a shirt when I come back!!
I LOVE this cafe!!! The food was delicious and the service was amazing!! Oh, and don’t forget the desserts!! They have the most welcoming and inviting environment and decorations. I highly recommend this family friendly and comforting restaurant!! Handicap parking and accessible.
