The folks at Thrillist recently compiled their list of the 21 Best Breakfast Spots in America and Cleveland’s West Side Market Cafe was recognized for its creamed corn beef.

Here’s what Thrillist has to say about the joint:

Tacked onto the side of Cleveland’s massive West Side Market — a monolithic marketplace full of farm stands, butchers, and bakers — this chill, blue-collar joint’s simple aesthetic belies some seriously great, seriously cheap comfort food, the ingredients for which come from next door. The simple fried egg sandwich is taken up a notch with spicy bacon and a soft, fresh roll, while the normally caution-giving creamed chipped beef is a standout, with shaved sirloin doused in gravy and served over toast. The cafe isn’t just a breakfast joint. It’s Cleveland on a plate.
If you’ve never stopped in to dine at the cafe after completing your weekly shopping, we recommend you do. Give it a try this weekend.
