This place is a gem for breakfast. It has everything you need. Great service, coffee always refilled. Excellent food and specials. Adults 55 and over have access to value seniors meals. They also have great specials. I went twice last week.

Picked up a Cherry pie ! Reviews were great! Unfortunately the crust was limp and soggy. The Cherry Filing was great. I will continue our search for great pies.

Corkys kitchen has ample servings, the food is great and the service is spot on. Haven't tried their gourmet pies but they sure look delicious. We usually go here for breakfast and around 10 AM weekdays. Not too busy at that time and that way it's more like breakfast /lunch and we still take food home there's so much to eat! highly recommend!

Great food - good sized portions! Great value. We got two different breakfast burritos, turkey dinner, and meatloaf. Then a pumpkin pie to go. Everything was great. If we lived in town we would visit this place regularly!

We have been patronizing Corky's Kitchen for decades. The food portions a large and consistent good. Service is always friendly and attentive. Many meal options on the menu; something for everyone. Place has an old town country atmosphere, nothing pretentious. Cherry pie is amazing, tart and full of cherries. Corky is a solid place for a hearty meal.

We are new to the area, and were looking for a local "mom and pop" place for a good breakfast. We found Corky's directly across the street, and everything was amazing, with a great "Hometown" feel. Great service from the moment we sat down. The staff was very attentive, and looked professional. Our food came out very quickly, and was still piping hot. The food was amazing! This is truly the best breakfast place we have been to in the area since we moved in. The manager even came by to say hi. We are definitely coming back here.

I hadn't been here since before Covid, I remembered they had very good fried chicken!! One of my favorite foods, tho I rarely ever have it. I was so disappointed when I ordered it this last time!!!! Chicken was over cooked & very dry, some was so over cooked I couldn't eat it!! I ordered country gravy on my mashed potatoes... neither had any flavor!! Then the cornbread muffin was ALSO dry!! I have no desire to go back @ this point!! I was hungry for fried chicken and this meal didn't even come close If I could leave NO STARS, I would have!!

They are not vegan friendly. All meals include meat. I told them if I could have a substitute because I'm vegan, and they said absolutely not.
Best spot for a great breakfast. They are open 24 hrs and the food is great. Biscuits and Gravy is wonderful. Sadly they no longer have fried bologna on the menu in addition to all the standard choices.

Corky's is a staple in Ladera Ranch for a good breakfast and a neighborly atmosphere. Wait staff Jannie, Sergio, Jaclynn and Hortencia are just wonderful and personable. The managers there are not as nice though. Yes, the place runs well, but the managers should be as approachable and friendly as the servers. Big portions there, too!

The service by our waitress, Hortensia, was outstanding! Her exceptional approach, including gentility, was enrapturing. I can only hope she will be there the next time my family and I are there.

One of our favorite Ladera Ranch spots. The food is great and the portions huge. Gets a little crowded at times, but I guess that means it is a local favorite. Weird location, you have to know it is there.
