I've been here several times during visits to Kansas City; it is a favorite of my in-laws. The roast beef dinner and turkey 'n dressing dinner platters are delicious. However, on my last visit, we weren't ready for a big meal, so I ordered the tenderloin sandwich for the first time because it was the house specialty. I asked if... More

I was in Kansas City, MO recently with a small group, and we were looking for a good breakfast place for the morning of our departure. A local I had been working with recommended the Corner Cafe and, boy, did he steer us right!! He casually mentioned that we had to try their cinnamon buns because they were "the best... More

My wife and I had another great meal at the Corner Cafe in Riverside, Mo. My wife had the fried chicken diner and I had a cobb salad along with their great rolls followed by blackberry cobbler. Unfortunately it wasn't a day for my favorite Coner Special "Ham and Beans with Cornbread" a very tasty dish at an unbelievably low... More

We've been going to the Corner Cafe for years and years -- it's an amazing local treasure just outside of Kansas City, MO. Just good "down home" type cooking, great dinner rolls, and wonderful deserts and baked goods. There's nothing fancy here, and there's a fair chance you might get a waitress with an attitude (a fun attitude), but you... More

Had lunch here and it was great. Parking lot looked full but it is a big enough place that I did not wait to be seated. Lots of food for the price, tasts great. The service was very good. Cons: there is a smoking area and I could smell it when I walked in the building. Once in the non-smoking... More

This is my second review of the Corner Cafe. I met a couple of high school classmates--one I hadn't seen since 1965!--for lunch and ordered the chicken fried chicken. Not nearly the best I've had and definitely not as good as other items I've had here before. The meat seemed like it was a processed patty instead of a real... More

I grew up on Corner Cafe. The menu covers all types of foods, mainly Americana, but there is a Mexican night and an Italian night. But let's talk about the Cinnamon Rolls and the Sticky Buns. These are to die for! If you've never tried Corner Cafe, I highly recommend it! My favorite is between the Chicken & Noodles and... More

For my first visit to the Corner Cafe, I needed warning. The lines were long (but moved quickly); the menu was vast (there's a copy at the front to peruse while you wait to be seated); food is plentiful (you'll take half home); and dessert is delicious (you'll want to save room for the generous servings of dessert and take...
