I finally tried @ The Corner this past Sunday for brunch around 10:00 a.m.
The line was outside the door and it was absolutely packed full. My friend and I hung in there and it took about 30 minutes of waiting in line to get to the counter to order. However, it took me about that long to decide which item I wanted to order. Everything sounded so good!
The Menu
While I couldn’t imagine spending $17 on a hash, I was really craving it and decided to go all in. So, I ordered one of the most expensive items, the Living Off the Land Hash. However, everything was very pricey- $10 for a biscuit and gravy?! Sheesh.
Living Off The Land Hash
While we did have to wait about 5 minutes for a seat at the bar after ordering, our food didn’t take too long to come out. My hash was HUGE! Though most of it was a very large piece of bread underneath everything….very deceiving. This was not a typical hash either….there were no hash browns. Rather, just fried potatoes that looked pre-made/ frozen. However, the rest of the dish was extremely fresh and flavorful. Full of leeks, mushrooms, turkey sausage and a delicious pesto, the dish was very tasty. Oh, and the egg was perfectly cooked!
Brunch Poutine
My friend ordered the poutine, which was not as large a dish as the hash, but I got a taste of the gravy and it was very good.
Overall, while the food is beautiful and farm-to-fork, I found it just too expensive. Also, it was so packed and loud, you can’t help but feel rushed to give your seat to someone else that is waiting. Though, the service was very friendly and everyone made sure we liked everything and had a pleasant experience.
