First tried Corned Beef House at a lunch at my office and thought their cornbeef sandwich was pretty decent. Been there a few times for take away since then but never got their smoked meat sandwiches.
You can easily miss this place since it's around the corner filled with a bunch of restaurants on John St. It's hidden away with just a simple glazed door on the corner of John and Adelaide, just around the corner of Pizzaiolo.
My top pick at this joint is the good 'ol poutine. It's gotta be one of my faves in the city and inexpensive at $5.99 for a very filling box. The gravy is spot on! Tried the smoked meat poutine once but it was just too salty. Recently tried the classic BLT... It was Legit! Simple toast, lettuce and tomato, but they had a good amount of bacon. No bites went without a good chunk of bacon... Mmmm... Bacon.
I can't give it a full 5 stars cuz the service can be slow even outside of the lunch rush. But other than that, I'll be coming back for the cheap eats and maybe someday end up with a smoked sandwich.
Don't miss out on some good sandwiches and excellent poutine.
