Cabin 12
607 Pandora Ave Tel: (250) 590-1500
I'm
not sure where the name Cabin 12 originates from, but it seems I might
be alone on the Psycho movie reference. With line ups for breakfast all
over town, Cabin 12 features an abundance of seating. Bright and
breezy, the service was quick and friendly. With fairly conventional
breakfast items, burgers, salads and sandwiches, the menu does not lack
a sense of humour with culinary effigies for local celebrities.
Considering the downtown location and large square footage the prices
are low to cheap. I had the Harl's Burg - a handmade burger patty
topped with tomato, an onion ring and a fried egg. A good tasting
burger and the fried egg was cooked just right for a pleasant amount of
'squirtage' without being gross. Patty had a steak sandwich - the beef
was a little chewy, but considering the price point, not unexpectedly
so. Served with fried mushrooms, onion as well as lettuce and tomato,
it begged the question - how do you eat a two-sided steak sandwich? Are
you supposed to try? I'm going for no, don't even try. The accompanying
hashbrowns and fries were fresh and tasty, albethem similar to one
another.
There are some fairly significant quirks at Cabin 12, but
it's not without charm. As a vehement grumble guts about queueing for
breakfast, another option in the downtown core is almost always going
to be a good thing.
