Corky's was a restaurant in Los Angeles, California's Sherman Oaks neighborhood. It was designed by Armet & Davis and built in 1958. It has a sweeping roofline characteristic of Googie architecture.[1] It was remodeled in the 1970s and has been restored in recent years.[1] It originally opened as Stanley Burke's Coffee Shop on Van Nuys Boulevard and became Corky's in the early 1960s as it transitioned to being open 24-7. Billy Joel played piano at the eatery in the 1970s. After 25 years as Corky's, it became the Lamplighter, and was used in 2010 as a filming location for A Nightmare on Elm Street. After that, the restaurant was restored and renovated as a renewed Corky's.[2][3]

Corky’s closed on December 14, 2019.[4][5][6]

The interior of Corky's was demolished as of January 13, 2025, but the roof and pole sign remain. A Chick Fil-A opened in the building on December 4, 2025.
