This Week's Counter: Huron Square Deli

We stumbled upon this place by accident when we were downtown for the Dazzle The District event at Playhouse Square.  Behind the Halle Building on Huron, this unassuming storefront restaurant is a classic greasy spoon – not sure we used spoons, but the other utensils were probably greasy too. Not exactly the cleanest place we’ve seen.  Late morning on a Saturday, it was pretty quiet and we easily got seats at the long counter.  Probably very busy on weekdays with the office crowd, but not so much on weekends.

Service was pretty attentive, although our server seemed to be new in the job.  The cook was working the grill right in front of us, and giving her instructions on how to write orders.  Cam went with breakfast this time – egg and bacon sandwich.  Ted had his usual, eggs, toast, potatoes and coffee.  The verdict was "barely average" all around on the food.  Super low price compensated for that a bit, but just nothing all that great.

Definitely fun to go somewhere downtown, and it was a nice day.  But unless you’re really hungry and can’t wait to find another place, we can’t really recommend it.  





Cam says: "Decent sandwich, not that clean though.  It was very average.  I give this counter 5 frying pans."



Ted says: "If you only have a few dollars and are desperate for food, go here. Aside from good service, hard to find other bright spots. Sorry to say it's only good for 3 frying pans."
