Although Ed and Kathi wanted the restaurants to feel like a home away from home, they also loved the bustle of the old diners. The counter and its surrounding area were the perfect area to make this come to life. And what does every diner need, but a round, neon clock! Ed and Kathi worked with a local business to have the first "Corner Cafe" clock created and now all 3 stores tell their time by the neon clock that hangs over the serving window.
In 1983, Ed and Kathi Rule opened a 40-seat cafe that served breakfast and lunch, Monday through Friday. They had never been in the restaurant business before, but always felt they knew what good food was about. There was a lot of learning in the early years with daily specials written on the front windows and chalkboards.

There had always been a small restaurant at the "Corner" in Riverside, Missouri, but before 1983 it had changed names and hands several times. Many of the locals wanted to see a return to the old-style cafe that had existed there years before and was an icon of its time (Reese's Cafe). Enter Ed and Kathi Rule.

Some of our favorite family recipes have been turned into our daily specials that we make fresh each day. What's your favorite day? Kathi's grandpa, Ferd Filger, was the first mayor of Riverside, Missouri and a Texaco gas distributor. For several years, Ed and Kathi made their living owning a gas station and car wash and have always enjoyed collecting gas station related memorabilia which they now display in the restaurants.
