"We eat at Corner Cafe 2-3 times a month with friends and the service and food has always been good at the Independence location. However the last couple of visits the food has been suspect. Smaller portions, not very appetizing. Today I had the pot roast dinner that came with two sides, so I chose salad and mashed potatoes. I was served a very small portion of roast that was very dry and chewy. It was saved by the gravy. My wife’s breakfast was good but we noticed their biscuits are visibly smaller. I hope smaller portions and poor quality of food is not the new norm. The pot roast was $20, pricy for what I received. May be going to Black Bear for breakfast if things don’t change."

"The wife and I decided we'd like some comfort food prior to heading to the Royals game. Being from out of town, we did our usual Google search and found the Corner Cafe was close and had good reviews. We were quickly greeted and seated when we arrived. Our waitress was great, and we quickly had our drinks and she took our order. I had the fried catfish with baked potato, and my wife had their special beef tips and noodles with mashed potatoes and fried okra. We both loved our meals, everything was served fresh and hot, and the serving sizes were big! We were very pleased with our decision and left full and very comforted! 🙂"

"Acknowledgment needed. Our cups were never less than half full… Comfortable and cozy feel. small bakery makes it convenient to take a small or large sweet treat home. Aubrie was very pleasant and fantastic at her job. I sense her real passion for Corner Cafe and the food she serves. She elevated our experience with her enthusiasm."

"I gave them 5 stars because even though the food wasn't perfect, the service and wonderful staff made up for it. I ordered the meatloaf. Nothing really special about it. It was under seasoned and had a texture you would find in an elementary school cafeteria. The gravy was overly runny and moved around on my plate like water. The roll on the other hand was perfect. It was hot, huge and tasted great. The pie options here are awesome!!! Delicious pies!!!! The other people at my table ate breakfast and the biscuit and gravy was delicious and the omelet was cooked to perfection. So overall this place gets 5 stars! Ill come back and something different."

"Corner Café in Independence is worth the stop. We went during the Saturday lunch rush and while it was busy, the table wait was minimal. The food came out fresh, hot, and full of flavor—it really feels like good southern comfort cooking. Service was on the slower side, but with how packed the place was, it makes sense and speaks to how popular it is. The desserts are a must-try. The Banana Crème Pie is outstanding, with strawberries, cherries, pineapple chunks, and a vanilla wafer crust that ties it all together. Overall, highly recommend for anyone looking for a hearty, home-style meal and great pie."
