Carol's Corner Cafe - Vancouver

Eating here is really good. No, it's not organic, so if you want to go somewhere else. local source speck, homemade cinnamon rolls (for dying) and omelette filled with ingredients. rarely an empty cup and fast, friendly service, where can they do this nowadays? it is busy so there is sometimes a waiting time, but it is worth the time. they get to know the personal, they got their back every day. this is a great, clean, non-chain, restaurant that is still owned by a local resident (and worked by her family). they have been there for more than years and are likely to be there.

I can only describe my experience here as weird. Weird “biscuit” in the biscuits and gravy. The oddest flavor and texture. French toast had an off cupboard stale taste I couldn’t ignore. Edible though. I just couldn’t get the biscuits down. Sausage breakfast sandwich had a decent flavor but for $9.50 it was quite tiny. It’s the same size and a McDonalds McMuffin and I’d greatly prefer that. One and done luckily!

Took us forever to get order out and a long time to get our food! Service was awful!

With all of the hype, I can’t believe how disgusting this place was. We sat at wobbly tables that were completely sticky, and my shoes stuck to the carpet at my seat. All I couldn’t help but notice was the dirt covering the baseboards and the white walls. The vents above the counter are covered in dust. Even with the food being alright, I had no appetite being in such a dirty environment. I would hope that there is a better cleaning routine than that.

The good: the portion sizes are enormous and the price is reasonable, the staff was friendly and fast, It has a good diner atmosphere. The bad: (we had breakfast) and the hash browns on everyone's plates were pretty mushy and unseasoned, the country fried steaks' breading was also very soft and undercooked, The bacon and cheese omelette was pretty much a bacon Taco with a light wrapping of eggs and just a little bit of cheese (photo). The food overall didn't WOW anybody. We wished we had tried another dinner.
