Corky's is a modern-day/old school restaurant. Plenty of seating but plenty of space to be comfortable. It's like entering a good old fashion restaurant of years gone by. The folks and food are top-notch I'm sure by now you can tell we love this place. Hope to see you soon enjoying a great cup of coffee

Wasn't too happy about the service. The lady at the front door had the best customer service. Our food took a little to long to get to me. We asked for a refill and took over 10 min to bring us a refill. Asked for to go boxes...she never brought them the lady up front did. Food was good. But it was basic. Portions were huge. All in all we were happy

the pies here at Corkys are delicious and well made. Their cookies are large and delicious if you get them fresh made. They have large portions more for your money . You can take home for later. Service has always been great . They are fast to seat you, with no wait time if you go at different hours. I do recommend this Corkys .

Went for Sunday brunch. There was no wait but you can join the waitlist online, which I love! The portions were bigger than I expected. Service was friendly and quick. We got some slices of pie to go and they were delicious. Definitely recommend for a good family spot.

We came here and we found a great special I believe it was two for 30 with a shared appetizer. They had a great number of selections on this menu special. The only catches that must be dine in. However you can order it and have it delivered to your table on plates and then just ask for boxes to go and pack it up yourself. It includes breakfast lunch and dinner items and pretty much every appetizer they have available to choose from.

Absolutely love coming to Corky's! Their plates are generous and delicious every time. Service is always friendly and helpful! Because it is so popular, be prepared to wait if you go on the weekends and especially around brunch time.

***UPDATE*** 1/14/2025 So since my last review of this restaurant I have been a steady customer bringing in both of my children quite frequently for breakfast lunch and dinner but most of the time my son and I go because he loves the Fried Chicken just as much as I do and the chef named Gustavo makes the absolute best fried chicken I've ever tasted in my life! The big bummer happened right around the holidays we went in to get our fried chicken and the pieces were so tiny and the meat was so dry that it was almost heartbreaking. I was thinking it must have been a bad night or maybe they got some bad chicken and a random freak delivery so we waited a couple weeks and went back about 2 weeks ago to give it another shot and it was again just sad disappointment. I spoke with our waitress and also with Gustavo and they both confirmed that the management had switched over to a different provider for the chicken. The pieces are 1/4 of the size of the previous fried chicken and the meat just is so dry and tough it's very very depressing and for 20 a meal you would expect it to be good quality meat and very juicy which it always had been in the past. I actually took a photo of the chicken next to one of those little flavored coffee creamers to demonstrate how small the pieces were and if you look at my photos from previous times you'll see the pieces were very nice size and it's very clear the difference. The photo I attached is taken on a saucer and I put the little coffee creamer next to it so you could get a reference of the how small the piece is actually are they almost look like Cornish game hen pieces instead of chicken. We're both very sad about this because we truly did love the Fried Chicken there I mean I don't know any other place to go to that had such good chicken and as I said the chef Gustavo made the chicken breasts where it came out juicy and so delicious and that's hard to do with fried chicken quite often you'll get it and it's overcooked and dry but he makes it just perfect and no matter what there's no way he could have helped this new chicken that they're using it was just really bad and as I said a tiny tiny pieces just rubbery tough meet very dry anyway hopefully management will see this and go back to the previous vendor for their chicken Supply I'm sure I'm not the only person that's going to be upset by the change and stop ordering the fried chicken. And I do believe that the fried chicken dinner is the second highest priced meal on the entire menu so if I was the one doing the ordering I would definitely want to make sure that that menu item is popular. __________________________ I previously posted a mediocre review but since then I've been back a few times and it's very much improved specifically the fried chicken. I went in today for lunch and was so happy with my food and the chicken was perfect nice and juicy cooked correctly everything really good couldn't have been more happy and the biscuit was off the hook ridiculous huge. I feel bad I forgot my waitress's name but she was really good and really had a great personality if I can remember her name I'm going to come back and edit this because she deserves a raise she did a great job and she was running around helping everyone.
