Keep this under consideration...it IS Cleveland! The homemade corned beef hash wasn't the chunky kind I had expected after eating at the BEST corned beef deli/diner in Portland, OR, so that left me somewhat disappointed. However, the flavors were good and reminded me why corned beef in Cleveland is likely in the top three in the country. The peppered bacon was peppery, the scrambled eggs cooked to perfection...they weren't overcooked and weren't runny at all! Coffee was mildly better than most diner coffee. I really did like the eclectic group of suits, families, tattooed folks, and locals that were here when I came. The waitstaff was great.
The only thing that lingers in a bad way is the oil...lots of it...in the corned beef, left on the bacon, even on the greasy spoon :) unfortunately Carnegie Kitchen doesn't present itself as a greasy spoon diner so that was super surprising and slippery! (3.5 if I could)
