Corine's Cafe

I had high hopes going in as this cafe was strongly recommended. After a 15 minute wait I paid $ 25.00 for a patty melt, hamburger and an order of hush puppies. And a $4.50 piece of pie that tasted like garbage. Extremely disappointed. The hush puppies were straight from a box and I have had a better patty melt from Waffle House. I will not be recommending or going back. $ 25.00 ? ARE YOU KIDDING ME !

I ordered breakfast to be picked up. When I got there, there was a long line no problem, as I watched around me I noticed to go orders were set on the floor! Including mine. How disgusting! The cashier stated, it's ok, it's in a plastic bag. Do you want a different bag? The owner ended coming up, she didn't seem to understand the issue with food being placed on the floor either. She did offer to remake my food. But only after I stated the health department would be interested in this. Disappointing, since it's close to my house, and was recommended.

Good menu selection and freshly prepared.

If I could leave a zero I would. It was my first time there and it su**ed! I had gotten a "casserole " eggs, hashbrowns, bacon and "sausage gravy". First it was white gravy, not sausage gravy, just plopped on the food. I added ham and mushrooms. Paid 2.25 extra for ham, .75 for mushrooms. I deleted the hashbrowns and toast. My daughter got the same. It was brought out in this small a** dish and was gross. Didn't even finish. Then went to pay and it came to $35.00. I was like what... for that?? I told them that I would never be back. I could have made a better meal at home.

Reason for 4 stars was the length of time I had to wait. They weren't busy. But the kitchen staff was moving like snails. Even the fantastic servers were frustrated.
I can get my food faster at other restaurants. Then....they got it wrong SMH

We waited forever on our food. I believe our ticket got “misplaced”. After waiting 30 minutes on breakfast the waitress finally came around and said it would be out in a minute that she was going back there to help the cooks plate the food. My son ordered hash browns and some were still frozen. The grill apparently was not clean because pieces of burnt food was all over the frozen hash browns. My grilled biscuit was also cold and had burnt pieces on it. The bacon was burnt and hard. My son begged me not to make him go back there again.

Googled breakfast and it took me here! A hidden Gem. We (the 2 of us) were literally in and out within 25 mins max with us sitting down getting served and eaten our food. It was delicious and definitely homestyle made. I found my new spot. Can't wait to try everything else. Will be coming back.

Quant 60’s style racing themed restaurant. Waitresses were very friendly, coffee was hot and good. Food was not as hot as I like. I rated a 4 but would have rated a 5 if food was hotter.

W/ the exception of Corine herself, the wait staff at her buisness is universally polite and helpful--they do what they can to help you. However, the food is virtually inedible. We ordered hamburger steak recently and it looked and probably tasted like the bottom of a shoe. Tough, cold, flavorless. As for the sides, right out of the box or can. On another occasion for breakfast, my wife found an inch and a half long shining strand of metal from a scrub pad in her hash browns. (Imagine that winding its way through your intestinal tract We politely brought it to Corine's attention and she took the plate and left us w/o so much as an apology.) A customer is left to wonder who does the cooking for the cafe, but it is clear that they hate their work and could care less what they shovel out to the inmates--my guess is ex-prison 'chefs'-. It must be mortifying (or should be) or at minimum embarassing for the wait staff to serve such awful messes. Survival of Corine's has as much to do w/ a lack of alternatives for eating out in a 'restaurant'' in Mooresville as anything having to do w/ its food. If you get hungry, hit one of the dozen or more fast-food chain spots in this torturous town before considering Corine's. Oh..., the coffee is pretty good if you get there early. enough, but be careful w/ the sausage--back to the shoe sole speciality... M

Used to be very good and clean. NOW- kitchen rating is 82, floor and walls, curtains are dirty. Air vents are black with dust and dirt. The last 3 times I ate there, within 15 minutes had significant diarrhea.
I won’t be returning and WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!
