Located just north of KC in Riverside, the Corner Cafe has stood as a roadhouse-style tribute to comfort food since 1983. While a lot of home-cookin' places could just as aptly be called greasy spoons, the Corner achieves a much higher standard. Some of the most comorting food at the Corner Caf is found on the breakfast menu, where stacked pancakes, biscuits and gravy, oozing omelettes and fresh fruit offer the fuel necessary to begin your day. From its soups and salads to its entrees and desserts, there's a distinctly fresh quality to the food. The crisp salads are topped by flavorful homemade croutons. The chicken noodle soup boasts broad homemade noodles and thick chunks of chicken. Its signature dishes, like fried chicken, turkey with dressing and catfish filet, are moist and tender. Side dishes include mashed potatoes fit to impress Grandma. The macaroni and cheese is very popular, and the desserts? Think homemade cobbler ripe with peach and blackberry, with a firm but delicate crust. The service has a friendly, small-town feel. Expect to be called ''hon.''
