| - I love near the CBC and have been there maybe 4 times over the past two years. Decided today to write my first review on them hoping they monitor Yelp.
Breakfasts are pretty decent. No complaints about eggs, bacon, pancakes and so on. Probably give them a solid 3 stars.
However.
Today I was in the mood for corned beef. Let's see, should I go to Slyman's? Too far to go today and ditto for Corky & Lenny's. Wait! I know, maybe I could find a place nearby that's actually NAMED after it! Well, duh.
The bad news: This was THE worst corned beef I have ever eaten, and that includes CB from restaurants where "mediocre" would be a major accomplishment. Not only did it taste bad, but it smelled (sorry CBC, but we Yelp for truth not BS) like dishwater, and I kid you not. Certainly not saying the smell was from dishwater, just that that's what it smelled like. Double plus ungood. It was almost bad enough to make me turn around and let them know in person how terrible it was. But, I had to be somewhere at a certain time and couldn't do it.
How bad was it? Had I seen a homeless person I wouldn't have given it to him/her. NOBODY needs to eat that crap.
Look, as mentioned, I don't go there a lot so can't say that this was or wasn't an anomaly. Let's hope so for their sake. Otherwise, they need to change their name to "The Any Sandwich But Corned Beef Cafe."
Seriously.
