New Westminster BC
We though we might pop out for breakfast this morning so we hopped on the interweb and had a look see for something other than the Bruncheria or Angelina’s.
There’s quite a few breakfast spots in New West and we settled on 6th St. Grill, mostly because of their impressive selection of Bennies.
If your looking for some nostalgia and want to spend some time in the 70s this is the place for you. Though not in a good way.
The impression I get from this restaurant can be summed up in one word.
Lazy
Too lazy to change the decor.
Too lazy to properly hang the power cord for the TV so it’s out of sight.
Too lazy to properly warm up the hash browns.
Too lazy to make the crab cakes. Yes they are brought in. So you know they aren’t going to be great.
To lazy to properly crisp up the bacon.
And worst of all….
Too lazy to toast the English muffin.
This is truly a travesty in the Eggs Benny world.
If I had my way those who serve Eggs Benny on untoasted English muffins would be put into jail for crimes against the culinary world.
Just gross. I mean not edible. Gummy and bland. Truly awful.
The dish looked well enough. The potatoes would have been really good if they had been piping hot. Lukewarm as they were the potatoes were the best on the plate. The egg was cooked to order, soft please! The Hollandaise was tart, but really had little flavour otherwise.
I think I mentioned the undercooked bacon already.
Overall not great. However I will give props to the waitress a she did comp one of the Bennies as she could tell we weren’t happy.
Note for those of you who do want to try 6th St. Grill. They will toast the English muffin upon request.
However i’m not planning on going back to make this step necessary myself.
I will have to leave it to my imagination as to how incredibly mediocre dinner must be here.

You’d be better off trying somewhere else in New West for breakfast.
Maybe “STOP” by the Bruncheria?
