Corner Cafe - Independence

We arrived at 8:20 and they close at 9:00 typically most restaurants would be dropping not so subtle hints to hurry up but not our waitress she kept refilling our drinks and gave us excellent service. Next was the food, we shared the onion rings as an appetizer and the breading was amazing and they were perfectly crunchy on the outside. We ordered the meatloaf sandwich, waffles and a slice of coconut cream pie. All together Corner Cafe checked off my three boxes for a restaurant great food, great service and great prices. I would definitely go back and if you haven't been I'd suggest going.

This use to be one of my favorite places to eat, but not now. I went with my gf this past week. It was cold outside so thought soup sounded good. All they had was vegetable beef that day which is one of my favorite soups. They sat the bowl down and grease was floating on the top, not a good sign. Very few vegetables but lots of beef with fat on it. I ate one carrot, one potato and one piece of the leanest beef I could find. Heavens was I sick if I had been a child I would have vomited in the bowl. I did keep it down but the soup is not worth $7 even with a huge roll. The nice thing is the waitress offered me something else but I was too sick to eat. So they didn't charge me which was a pleasant surprise. Not sure if I will ever go back.

Kicked off breakfast with coconut cream pie. Why wait have the pie! Finished with biscuits and gravy. The pie is so rich and creamy it's hard to believe. I always start with pie at Corner Cafe. Mainly eat breakfast here but who says chicken fried chicken isn't good at 7:30 am. Last time here it worked just fine. This time others in our party had omelettes, pancakes, bacon and hash browns. No complaints when the food is this good. As usual the parking lot and restaurant were packed. Somehow our server kept up with all our needs. The kitchen also had every order correct. Good job. Inside looks like an old time cafe with old signs and even an Indian brand motorcycle. Take the family, everyone can have what they want and will be sure to enjoy it.

We had a wonderful breakfast here. Both the food and service were great. Started with some coffee and ordered quickly. Our food arrived fast. I got eggs, sausage patties, hash browns, with a side order of gravy. It was enough gravy for three of us to share. Everyone's eggs were cooked perfectly. I enjoyed the hash browns. My wife got the corned beef hash with eggs. She loved the hash. Our friend got eggs and bacon with grits and cheese. She enjoyed the grits. They give you a lot of food. Has kind of the old diner feel to the place.

Mixed reviews. Our large party was seated quickly on a Saturday morning, which was great. The food--especially the cinnamon rolls--was great. Service was not great. Coffee not refilled, water glasses empty which was especially irritating since it was literally 60 minutes before our food came. Yikes. Manager tried to make it up to us but we were late to our game. Might try takeout next time and avoid the service.

Food was really good. Price was fair in my opinion. Wait staff was fast, friendly and checked on the table frequently. Lots of tables and well lit.

I honestly would have to say that 98% of the food offered at the Corner Cafe is excellent. No restaurant can be excellent at everything, however. The one total downfall at this restaurant is the "chicken noodle soup." I don't like long reviews, so here is mine on this soup: Bland, all noodle (very little broth), and essentially, NO chicken. YUK!! My advice is to get chicken noodle soup at Strouds. Far and away the best in the city!!

I just visited corner cafe today and have never been so disappointed. A place I used to love has turned down hill! The prices have skyrocketed (we were looking at a $50 tab for a breakfast for 2), the portions were embarrassing, the service was terrible and very unfriendly, the atmosphere of the place was off, and the booths are barely functional anymore. I am extremely disappointed. Would never recommend.

Good family style food and nice staff. Draws a big crowd. Nick nacks on sale in the front if you have to wait for a table. Lots of older patrons who appreciate homestyle food.

Love it. Dependable food and service. Menu is a bit boring, restaurant itself could use some maintenance work, benches and chairs are on their last leg.
