I have always enjoyed coming to Corky’s because of the early morning hours especially, but today I went there with my kids and had a great experience the serving staff is fantastic and the food tasted great I will definitely be back.

Was on my way to Fundraising event out in Rancho Cucamonga. This place came highly recommended by a friend of mine. Great service, Came on the weekend and expected the place to be very busy, it was but didn’t affect the wait time. My waitress Jennifer was very sweet. she was very attentive. Highly recommend, great food and great service. Thank you Jennifer for being a wonderful waitress. My husband and I will be sure to come back.

Stopped in for the Messina Burger. Wow, huge and delicious. Not badly priced either. Get it with the onion string fries. Fire!

Never ever again… I bought a $ 11 Ruben meal with $ 8 worth of onion rings, somehow I got a plate full of onion rings and this dinky little $ 3 looking Ruben. One of my Kids got a country fried steak that looked and tasted like a country fried misteak! We all tasted it and it was gross, didn’t want to send it back because, you know what happens sometimes right… It was $ 14 for a $ 4 steak that was thinly sliced and giant GMO potato which tastes like it was microwaved from frozen. You have to like bland basic food that’s served in a old retirement home or hospital to enjoy this place. Wow this place was bad… There’s more negative foods that came but I think you get the idea. Stay away!

What a wonderful place for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Upland has scored again! The patio is DOGFRIENDLY! We use a take-out box for a water dish, and order Sparkle’s favorite scrambled eggs. Food is Fresh, Homecooked and the service is so friendly and helpful! Loved Tabitha today. Thanks for coming to Upland!

I was very disappointed during our visit here. It started off great. We were greeted by friendliness and atmosphere was nice. It was pretty quiet as it was a weekday. However, it went sideways when a waitress dropped some tobacco on the floor because she tried to carry too much bottles in her hands. They cleaned it up with pine sol while we’re eating. The pine sol smell was so strong. Thought that was rude. The food was bland. Steak was dry and the fried chicken had blood in it. We hurried up out of there. We won’t be coming back.

Been here a few time. Service is usually good, but today it was GREAT by the one and only Tabby. Very humble and just sweet. I usually just write and post pictures of my experience, but I got the opportunity to tell the manager what an amazing person our server was. Thanks and yes food good and wholesome. You can even share portions they are big.

The comparisons of this place to Denny’s my fellow Unilocalers have made are spot on. Pancakes, omelettes, french toast, burgers, sandwiches, nachos — it’s all here, at a slightly higher price than Denny’s, but with more of it than you’d get at Denny’s. If you’re on a budget but want to try this place out, I suggest splitting a plate(and the check). I came here on a Sunday with my family. My niece got the children’s menu cheeseburger, my brother-in-law got the California burger, my wife got the chicken strips dinner while I got the turkey bacon avocado croissant. Let me say, all of us were FULL, and not one of us complained about the quality of the food. The croissant was stacked HIGH with turkey, which ultimately resulted in the sandwich being a little dry(but heck, I’m not complaining about having more food on my plate). There was just enough bacon to give the dish some salty crunch and enough avocado to give it a buttery feel. It was a really good sandwich. I tried a bit of the California burger and it was delicious: thick burger patty, thick slices of avocado, thick cuts of crispy bacon with standard tomato and lettuce. What more do you need? If I have to critique anything, it would be the crispy onion strings being waaaay too salty for my taste. The service was top notch. Our server made certain she addressed my niece and daughter directly, with a friendly smile and playful conversation. She kept out drinks filled and checked on us regularly. The best part of the service was that despite us coming on the busiest day of the week, our food orders came out before our stomachs could start growling. We were all shocked that the food came out so quickly when the place was so busy. My family will DEFINITELY be back, but we’ll probably be sharing plates, as we all took half our food home.

This is not our first time at Corky’s but it is the first we sit at the counter. Bad, bad choice. We saw first hand how the food handlers(servers) handle the food and we were not happy. Thank god we kept a close eye on the gal who took our order. There servers need to remember to watch contact when preparing toast. Will need to think twice about coming back.

One of those big-portioned dishes kind of restaurants so come with a big appetite! The dishes look very appetizing but I would not consider this restaurant to be one of my favorites but I would definitely recommend it if no one has ever tried it.

I have been hearing about this place for a long time and it was finally going to be the right opportunity to come here. My daughter was really excited about coming because of all the pies and cookies. They have a very good menu and had a lot to offer but I will say, I had a late breakfast today and so I was looking for a smaller lunch today. Nothing here is under $ 10. If I had skipped breakfast, I would have tried the 5-egg omelette. Yes, that is what the menu states. No cholesterol concerns here. Anyways, I was thinking I would order the Corkys special and take some home but I decided to try the half sandwich, soup or salad and pie. I chose the chicken salad. Thinking that the place with such a diverse menu would really serve up a great chicken salad. Well I was kind of disappointed. Its not bad but its not one of the great ones I have had in the area. I like some crunch in my chicken salad, nuts, cranberry’s, etc. This had none. I had already finished my small cup of broccoli cheddar soup and so when the half sandwich was served, my daughter felt bad for me and gave me a few of her steak fries. They are really good. They should serve a half order of fries with this plate because for the price I paid, it was very small and limp looking. The food was NOT bad, but again not great like the prices might suggest. The banana cream pie was everything I expected. I will say that the others at my table all did much better than I did. My daughters mushroom burger took the prize, again with the steak fries but the chicken and waffles looked very good. The chicken was severed as tenders and the white meat was prepared very well. My wife’s open face roast beef sandwich was also good and the mashed potatoes were delicious; hey, I SAID I HAD A SMALLPLATE! They ordered some of the large cookies to go and had them later that night. I can only say that they gave up taste for size. I would not recommend the cookies but if you do, go for the peanut butter. I will try to go back to give it one more chance. I have to try the omolette but at these prices, it better knock my socks off.

Came here for the 1st time today and I have to say AMAZING. Everything was great. Hubby and son both agreed. It exceeded our expectations. Big portions, couldn’t even finish half of our meals. Gigantic pancakes. And Excellent service. Everyone was super nice. And food came in a timely manner. We will definitely be back. And it’s right around the corner from home.

Food — big portions, but lack in taste.(Lunch and dinner items) Husband got a burger, and it was HUGE, wasn’t too much flavor in it, but it did satisfy his hunger. I got the shepards pie, good portion, but felt like something was missing. What I did like and was really tasty was the cornbread muffin, was able to taste jalepenos, but without the spicyness. We shared the spicy artichoke dip, but it wasnt spicy at all, but like our other items that we ordered, seemed like they could have done better with the flavor. Service — was okay. Can’t complain, but can’t give a lot of praise for it. We went in on a Saturday after lunch rush and before dinner rush. There was not a lot of people there, but we felt like our server didn’t care much. Took a while to get our drinks and our bill, the guests behind us were seated after us but got their food before us(we could tell they were regulars since the waitress already knew them and what they would like to eat). We’ve gotten food before, but take-out and it was their breakfast items, and we will probably stick to that.

Im conflicted on how to review this place. We arrived on a busy Saturday morning for breakfast and were seated relatively fast, so no complaints on that. Once we were seated it took a few minutes to have someone come over to take our order, the waitress seemed overwhelmed with tables, but she was very efficient, fast and friendly. We ordered coffee and since we had a few minutes to look at the menu we also ordered our breakfast. Our server brought out the coffee pretty quickly and we continued to wait for our food to be ready. The coffee here is pretty bad. Not fragrant, does not taste like coffee, very watered down, didn’t even drink one cup, just bad coffee. The food came out and as expected the portions were very generous. We were happy with our breakfast and especially with the pancake that we ordered on the side to share between me and my boyfriend. The pancake was definitely fluffy, warm and all around good. Overall, this place has some decent food, terrible coffee, and hectic service. I was left with mixed feelings about this place and may or may not return… well maybe I will for the pancake!

After spending 4 hours in the Emergency room with my boyfriend, we wanted something satisfying… with not many options at 2am we found Corky’s new location. My skillet was great, and so much food for the price we paid, next time we know to share something :) Service was ok, had to find someone to help a few times, skeleton crew working overnight.

I am a big fan of Corky’s. I usually go to the Rancho Corky’s but decided to try the Upland location on Mountain. We walked in and were seated right away. Our server, Stephanie, was awesome! Our dining experience was made so much better interacting with her. She had us laughing and was just genuinely professional! Beautiful job on this restaurant! So happy for your continued success! A little tip from a Realtor… put one in Chino! It would do fabulous! Congratulations!

Bikers love this place too. We stopped in with a bunch of us on Harleys for Breakfast on the way to a bike run in San Berdoo, we weren’t sure if everyone would like a cute little dinner like Corkys. After several orders of biscuits and gravy, waffles and killer breakfast burritos we were happy as pigs in a trough. We’ll definitely be coming back.

Booths are way to small… I had to be seated in two different sections b4 I felt comfortable… The food is DELICIOUS. … very filling. Rated a 3… The hostess whom sat us was snotty.. no people etiquette.. I would rate this place a 5 if the customer service was better and booth had a little more tummy space… food is yummy ;)

We wanted a late dinner so we came here they sat us down by the way it’s about 10:20pm they gave us menus came back took are order my wife was looking forward to dinner it’s her birthday. About ten minutes later the waitress comes back and says they don’t have dinner we were confused cause it’s a 24hr diner the waitress said they are only serving breakfast and lunch. We just left disappointed. Did not understand why they would take are order for dinner and come back and say no dinner SMH.

The day as finally come. The new Corky’s in Upland on Mountain &10 fwy. Everything is better than the other Corky’s. More diversity as it relates to the staff. This is a very welcome change from the other Corky’s. It’s extremely clean, food taste better, and the service is much faster. I hope they can maintain this consistency. No biscuits today, so that was a bummer but there where extremely apologetic about it.

Took the family for the our maiden adventure into Corkys. I have always heard good things and finally they are close to home. We had the machaca Breakfast burrito, Bacon Ham and Cheese omelet and a grilled turkey sandwich. All were very very good and the portions were way more than any one human should even try to eat in one meal. Not going to lie the prices seems high at first but once you get the food and realize how huge the portions are worth the prices. The deserts look great but not this trip. My baller on a budget tip– One entrée will easily feed two people. Sharing is caring. If not you have your next meal already ready

My family and I have come to this location quite a few times and each time we have been disappointed. I’ll drive to the one in Rancho instead. «Hand breaded chicken strips» were grilled chicken breasts with not much flavor. Parents ordered a prime rib and were so disgusted they just threw it out. Their breakfast has been their only saving grace. Country skillet is pretty good. But cmon it’s hard to mess up breakfast. One time we went there and the to go waitress rechecked our food because she said they were having lots of problems. I know a woman who works for the corkys in another city and she said the staff is untrained and even she would wait to visit this location until they organized and trained their staff properly. So get your stuff together so we can enjoy a decently cooked meal.

This is my first time ever at Corky’s. My friend and I had breakfast. It was not extraordinarily delicious, but it was good! I had the granola pancakes with scrambled eggs and bacon. The pancakes are huge! Other than the eggs being cold, it was good. My friend had a banana nut waffle with scrambled eggs and bacon. Her eggs were cold, too. The waffle and bacon were good. Service was mediocre. Our server was kind and polite when taking our order and dropping off the bill. We did not receive help in between, however. I’d probably return, but would ask for the eggs to be prepared last… they were that cold.

Ever wake up starving? Trust me, Corky’s is the place to go! HUGEPORTIONS! So you can enjoy that breakfast skillet all day long(okay, maybe not all day, but you get what I mean). I’ve been to the Rancho location a couple of times and seem to always get the Santa Fe Skillet or one of their omelettes. ALWAYS with biscuits and gravy! Their biscuits and gravy is mouthwatering and just delishhhh! Which sucks cause by the time I’m halfway through my actual meal I’m already stuffed so I can never eat much of the biscuit and gravy while I’m there. I’ve learned to just ask for the gravy on the side so I can take it home and enjoy it later. GREATSERVICE! My server today was Vanessa and she was just such a sweetheart. All of the employees I encountered greeted me with a smile and were just all super friendly. I love how welcoming and«homey» Corky’s is. Parking: It’s located in a shopping center that seems to be growing. So the addition of better stores equals to harder to find parking. Even though the parking lot is huge, don’t be surprised if you might actually have to do some walking. Trust me, it’s better that you park a bit far. You’re gonna wanna walk it off by the time you’re done here. Overall, yes I’m a fan. So happy this location is closer to my house than the Rancho one. Oh! and it’s open 24⁄7! Yeah! I believe breakfast and lunch are served all day(maybe even dinner… I’m not sure.) But yes! Big win to me!

So far not impressed considered walking out before I got my food. First they are out of crackers for his potato soup which we have been waiting all week for. Then they served him his soup which tasted bland and flavor of a bit burnt. I canceled my to go order of the soup. Second she came back to tell us they where out of grilled shrimp if fried shrimp was OK. So OK we got our food shrimp over fried asked for steak medium and served rare. OMG this has been the worst dinner experience. I have ever had. Come on Corkys step it up! Your other locations the food is so much better!

I visited Corky’s and found the staff to be friendly. The food? it’s on the same level as a Denny’s. I read so many reviews about the massive amount of food you get. I would not agree. Two eggs is two eggs. The hamburger steak? is a simple hamburger patty(hardly a hamburger steak). By the way, it was frozen, then cooked. People are making a big deal out of nothing really. Just another diner that used to be a Denny’s actually(that went out of business). Corky’s is what the name implies, Corky.

I love Corky’s at all times of day and night. I’ve never had a bad experience at any of their locations. The food is homely and comforting and the staff is always kind and friendly. I was slightly sad that they had run out of cinnamon rolls during breakfast but maybe it’s a sign that I don’t need the extra sugar and calories.

I had some time to kill last week before Stater Brothers opened at 7 a.m. so I took advantage of the early morning peace and had breakfast at this newly opened Corky’s. The interior is very nice and spacious with lots of windows and natural light. And my favorite – stools and diner counter for single diners or no nonsense parties. Of course, I sat at the counter and was promptly offered coffee, yes please! I perused the menu which included daily specials. Prices were a little steep for breakfast, but when you see the mountain of food that arrives on your plate, you know why. Though I wanted pancakes, I ended up ordering a cheese omelette with a side of fruit. Yes, it was huge(made with 5 eggs and probably a block of cheese.) To avoid a heart attack, I only ate half. Very good, very fast, and very nice servers/staff. Timing is everything and hiccups are inevitable with new restaurants. This new kid on the block is alright. Cut them some slack, take a deep breath, and try one of their pies!

This was one of the changes that happened in my hometown that happened while I’ve been away. It was really cool because I remember having to go out of our way for some bread bowl soup from corky’ when the closest location was in Rancho. I’ve only been here with my friends; my family has actually never tried Corky’s until this weekend(at this location). This past weekend, I went with my parents for dinner here. It looked packed but it was only a 10 minute wait. That was just enough time for us to find parking in that lot(it was kinda busy because it was a Friday night). We were greeted with friendly hosts/hostesses. My dad ordered the Friday night prime rib special($ 16), my mom got the clam chowder bread bowl soup($ 10), and I got the Hobo breakfast skillet($ 11ish). In addition with the side dishes… It was too much for us to finish! I barely touched my dish because there was so much food to go around. Before we left, we grabbed a banana crime pie for $ 11. Yummy! :) they will only let you eat a slice in the store(they won’t cut up a whole pie in the store), so we ate it at home. The only issue was that there was so much cheese in their food that my dad didn’t feel too well after(lol).

I always find it amusing when a new restaurant opens and the public expects it to be the most perfect restaurant in the world with a perfect staff. If you’re not a patient patron who understands the staff is mostly new hires who are trying their best to get you served, then perhaps you should give it a little time before you enjoy this food. They have plenty of other locations which are very popular which would love to serve you. I have had great experiences at every Corky’s I have been to and sometimes the service can be a little on the slower side, but it’s usually because the place is packed. So I can understand why it might take a little while to get my food or why the server can’t come to my table every two minutes to check up on me. If you have patience and understand the stress of working as a server at a new restaurant I would encourage you to dine at this new location and support the business. The food is great and what I enjoy most is the portion size which is more than enough food to get you stuffed! Not to mention it all tastes like a home made meal. Doesn’t get any better than a home cooked meal… but that’s just my opinion. Congrats to Corky’s on a new store opening.

We were excited for this location to open, as we frequent their Rancho location, but this place is closer to home. To say we were disappointed is a huge understatement! The service at this location is beyond horrible! We waited over 10 mins for someone to take our drink order, and people that came after us were served. We had to flag someone down to refill drinks. Half our order came out and almost 25 mins later, with a manager called, did the rest start trickling out. Some of the food came out cold. 15 mins after getting our food, we’re still missing side orders. The managers don’t even know what they’re doing!

I don’t understand these low ratings… This place is delicious. The service we had was outstanding. You can definitely tell that they are working out the kinks as they just opened not too long ago, so pack your patience! Honestly, though, our server is super kind, she apologized and assured us that our will be out soon. I think that for being barely opened, they are doing a phenomenal job! And did I mention that the food is delicious?
