“ We had a very good time. I think one of the first things that stood out was service and how well the customers were treated. It's very much a family oriented feel. The food was great and reasonably prices. They have meals for if you're very hungry or looking for something light. I'd recommend going here if you're looking for a friendly breakfast experience ”

“ As this place doesn't accept reservations (to my knowledge), we walked in during prime brunch time on Sunday and hoped for the best. While there were no tables available, the first come first served counter was wide open! This place is run extremely well. The restaurant was bustling but didn't feel chaotic. There were tons of servers and food runners. The woman serving us behind the counter was an angel. She was so sweet! The menu has great options. I wouldn't say the food is anything incredibly special - just classic breakfast food that is well made! My partner and I split the French toast and the Corner Omelet with hashbrowns and a biscuit. The French toast was pretty standard. Omelet was great! Super cheesy with fluffy eggs. Hashbrowns were a bit bland. ”

“ Really high quality food great servers. The cinnamon rolls are out of this world. Make sure you're hungry when you come otherwise you will not be able to finish one. ”

“ And then there is a café they call The Corner. So many good meals with so many good friends over the years! It was 41 years ago that I woke up in a motel room on a hill in Riverside Missouri, got up and went to a brand new job. I started work at executive Beechcraft that morning at the MKC Downtown Municipal Airport. And since Kansas City was completely new to me, I had no idea where anything was. I found a Burger King in North Kansas City, so I ate a few meals there and on Friday I asked some of my fellow employees that I have just met where is a good place to eat? They told me to go to The Corner Café in Riverside. Little did I know at the time, had I just driven down the hill I would have found The Corner on the first day! With a fresh set of instructions written down I drive into Riverside and pulled up to a building that said The Corner Café. When I looked at that building, I almost did not get out of my car to go in and eat. It looked as if it was ready to fall down. But I did go in and I did eat and as I recall the first meal I ate there was meatloaf, mashed potatoes, green beans, and a soft drink. Now people will tell you that the corner is best known for its biscuits and gravy breakfast. And those same people will tell you that there biscuits and gravy dishes are as good as it gets anywhere in this town. I could not agree more but I take exception to it! You see there is a comfort dish that they serve for breakfast that is second to none anywhere in the world according to my taste buds. It's called the meat lovers omelette. You see they take some ham, sausage, bacon, and American cheese cook all that with three eggs, and they place that omelette on an oval platter next to a big side of hash browns. Now when you place your order, if you want sausage gravy on the browns, need to specify that. You will not find a better tasting breakfast anywhere than this omelette and those smothered hash browns, and the coffee and biscuit are great too! So, for the last 41 years I've made a lot of trips to the Corner Café both in Riverside and in Liberty. Mostly Riverside for breakfast. So, the picture of the food that I've included today was taken at the Liberty location. The two other pictures that I have posted, I found on the web, are from that original building that I was so afraid to go into. I do remember that window! A great big thank you to the Corner Café for being my go-to place for oh so many times over these last 41 years. A very well done to The Corner Café! Well done indeed. Stuffing my face with a breakfast that would make my cardiologist go into cardiac arrest! #supportlocal #supportthenorthland ”

“ I've been here many times but I'm just now getting around to leaving a review. I just can't get enough of this place! The service is amazing as soon as you walk in the door. Everybody greets you with a smile and welcomes you in. There's a real homey feeling that's comes from the smells to the decor covering the walls and ceiling. Everything on the menu is worth trying but I can't seem to eat anything other than the country omelet with toast and hashbrowns. Everything is cooked to perfection every time and you can't beat the great prices too. Finally, you can't go wrong finishing off any meal here with something from the bakery. I typically go with a cinnamon roll which you can see the baker making right on the front of the restaurant. It's an all around great experience every time I come here!! ”

“ Hearty servings. Great service. There might be a wait but it's worth it. Pancakes are delicious. A bit loud due to the large dining areas. ”

“ Sometimes, I want to go to the bakery for some excellent baked goods. Other times I want to go to a nice diner and have a burger at the counter. Sometimes I even want to just have a good old sit down meal with friends and family. Believe it or not, ,whatever your mood, this place has you. If you just want one of their famous cinnamon rolls, there is a bakery counter right as you walk in. You can get any of their delicious bakery items and stay or take it to go. The dining room has a country grandma's house vibe with wooden tables and chairs and pictures of past staff and patrons all over. My favorite place though is all the way in the back. The diner counter. This is where the magic happens. the kitchen can be seen from the counter seats and people sitting and enjoying conversation with the staff and friends. The menu isn't overburdened like some restaurants in Corner Cafe's realm. It has great classics and a few surprises and all at very reasonable prices. This trip I opted for the Four Piece fried Chicken Dinner which comes with two sides. I chose Onion rings and, what else, Mac & Cheese. Since the chicken dinner takes a little longer to prepare, we enjoyed their huge dinner rolls (Top Tip - If you take some chicken home with you, also get a roll and use it to make a sandwich with the chicken. SOOOO good). My dinner actually came out quicky. The onion rings were light, crispy, and excellent. They were even better dipped in their house ranch dressing. The Mac & Cheese was like my gran made. not super creamy, but baked and cheesy. Then there is the chicken. Fried to golden perfection. Juicy and crispy. My only complaint is it could have used more pepper, but it still did not take away from the excellent quality (Author's Note - I am the guy who usually loves spicy chicken so the pepper may be an unfair request, you decide). Now the flip side to the pepper is the chicken was not over salty like most places which to me is a huge plus. Another great thing is staff are very attentive to their guests and our iced teas were always refreshed when our glasses got to half way, They even gave us to go cups for the rest we didn't finish and did so without us asking. The chicken was so good that I am now anxious to go back and really try more of the offerings they had on the menu which ranged from burgers to steaks, catfish, pot roast, etc. Go, Enjoy, be stuffed. ”

“ I don't remember the last time I came here for dinner but Corner Cafe has always been a place to meet my brother for dinner, take mom or grandma to breakfast. Tonight I was seeking something different than the usual and so we took a turn and into Corner Cafe. It was everything other reviews described. comfort food (5)! My husband and I both went for our favorite comfort foods and they were delish!! See photos. ”
