Reviews Summary
Korner Kitchen is celebrated for its generous portions and homestyle American fare, offering great value for money. Diners consistently praise the friendly and efficient service, even during busy periods.

"It was a nice place that was well decorated, both the counter and seating area. I got a vegetarian omelette with oatmeal and a vegetarian skillet with beans, both of which were quite good. The skillet had scrambled eggs that were mixed eggs like an omelette but not broken up, which I actually prefer. The brown bread was quite good and buttered nicely. The beans were seasoned well and delicious. It was a good experience in both food and ambiance."

"This was my first time at this restaurant. I searched for breakfast places in Waterloo and this establishment came up as a top recommendation.
When I pulled into the parking lot, there were a lot of parking spots; however, I was able to snag the last one. The restaurant was very busy. I recommend calling ahead to book a reservation. I'm unsure if you can do this (but I would try anyway) as I was a walk-in with my partner. We didn't wait too long for a table which was great. Probably only 5 minutes or so. This is typically a good sign as the food tends to be fresher and a busy parking lot is a good indicator that the restaurant is good.
My partner ordered the Mega Breakfast which came with two eggs, hash browns (shredded potatoes), toast, sausage, bacon and ham with a side of oatmeal in addition to pancakes. You can opt in for French toast instead of the pancakes. He enjoyed his meal overall. The portioning was good. He didn't get a chance to try the oatmeal so I can't provide feedback on that.
I ordered the Deluxe BLT. This came with bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomato & cheddar cheese; topped with a medium fried egg & garlic mayo which is served on multigrain toast. My dish came with hash browns (shredded potatoes) as well. I requested the egg on the side as I've never had a BLT with egg in it before. If you don't like cheddar cheese, you can opt out and ask for provolone instead. As much as I do enjoy a good BLT, the bacon was too salty. I had to use ketchup to cover some of the saltiness and it helped me enjoy the sandwich better. The only disappointment with this sandwich was that there was barely any avocado inside. It was just a small spread on the toast. I have been to other places where they cut the avocado fresh and it also appears to be more present than in a spread.
Our server was very good. She checked in on us multiple times to make sure that we were ok. Overall, I would highly recommend giving this restaurant a try. They also take credit/debit and cash."

"Stopped by Korner Kitchen Breakfast and Lunch Eatery with my kids today. The food was good, and the place has a cute, cozy vibe also Kid friendly. Service was kind and helpful, which made the experience even nicer. The kids' Oreo pancake was huge, my girls really enjoyed it. A nice spot for a chill breakfast or lunch."
