Not what you would expect in a little place nestled in Canton. My husband and I were left stunned at the quality and taste of the food. It was just extraordinary. Truly some of the best food we have eaten in a very long time. We tried the Heavenly French Toast and it really is heavenly, not just a cute title. Cheesecake STUFFED HOMEMADE BREAD! Need I say more? but they don't just stop there! it is topped with a mound of thinly sliced braised apples cooked with delicious crispy bacon. Then swimming in maple syrup. Truly a feast for the angels! My hubby chose Jessica's Bowl.. Wow this thing is massive and packed with everything you could ever want for breakfast! Fluffy buttery biscuits devoured by flavor packed sausage gravy, fried potatoes, eggs anyway you wanted, he did overeasy. ( made to perfection) loads of melty cheese, then to throw, this thing into the stratosphere, they topped it with fried chicken!!! What?! Yes delectable fried chicken. We never had to wait for drink refills cause they incredibly friendly and diligent wait staff too care of us! and it was packed when we got there! At the front they also had homemade breads and goodies. Including some yummy cookies. We choose a cowboy cookie and a strawberry lemonade. They were just as delicious. They soft flavor packed lemonade cookies was melt I you mouth. The cowboy was jam packed with mix ins! Cash only business but they have a convenient ATM. A breakfast counter, outdoor seating and a dining room is available as well. I give this business the highest praise! Will definitely be back!

    This review is based on the service. As soon as we walked in (first time here), a 'short…read moregray-haired' waitress loudly asked from across the restaurant if we were picking up. We said no, and she told us to sit, saying she wondered why we were "just standing there." While ordering, she was impatient, didn't make eye contact, and gave off a rude demeanor the entire time. When paying, she was holding on to the tablet which had a 20% tip pre-selected, we changed it to $1 due to the poor service. As we were leaving, she came outside, yelled for us to never come back, and flipped us off. We were polite the whole time, so this was shocking and uncalled for. Terrible customer service. Clearly caters to regulars, not new customers.

    Not located on a corner but busy nonetheless…read more As I get back to exploring and the crazy of the world settles down, it's also time to try new items and popular favorites. My girlfriend and I were wanting breakfast and I was asking around what sounded and looked good. She suggested Busy Corner and I had thought she meant Cobbler Corner. Nope, there is a Busy Corner and a Cobbler Corner in Pekin. We showed up around 9am and it was still busy with the breakfast crowd. I guess this is why it's called Busy Corner. We parked in what appears to be a closed business' parking lot next door and headed in. Upon entering, I was shocked at how open the place is. With it being so busy, I didn't feel it was appropriate to take a photo from the entrance but trust me when I say that the dining floor is a square room with nothing but tables and chairs. A hostess (or something) came out from the back and nodded at an empty table for us to sit at. We grabbed the seat along the right wall and were given menus. Emily gave me a rundown of what she knew on the menu and her experiences here. She ordered her usual John Wayne breakfast skillet thing. I noticed a Bacon Waffle on the menu and debated on if it was a waffle that came with bacon or a waffle with bacon in it. Our waitress cleared the air on what it was when it came time to order. Can you guess what I ordered? BACON WAFFLE! It's a waffle with bacon in it. What a fun novelty. It took a little while for the food to come out due to how busy it was. Once it came out, I was impressed with how well the waffle looked with bacon in it. Emily's meal that the Duke loves looked just as good. I grabbed the syrup and poured a ton of syrup on both sides. I dug in and have to say this novelty of a meal is just that. I'm no food snob or professional but after a few bites, I knew the type of bacon they used didn't mesh with the waffle mix at all. I believe it was a hickory-type bacon used and it didn't go well at all with the generic waffle mix. Despite that, it wasn't bad at all. I put the whole thing down and each bite was just a confusing taste of bacon and waffle that tasted separately with each bite. Due to some recent food allergies, I had to decline the butter that came on the waffle. Maybe that would help bind the flavors together? While the flavor was odd, the portion size was huge. It was nearly as big as the plate it was served on and with my voracious appetite, I had only the waffle and the filled me up until early afternoon (and a whole front/back yard mow). Emily couldn't finish her John Wayne breakfast and had to take half home with her. As for why this place as a meal named or based on The Duke or John Wayne, I am at a loss to explain why. Maybe it's mentioned on the menu and I somehow overlooked it or maybe it's just a known fact... I will never know. If you know and want to share, leave a comment below. I had mentioned this place was an empty square. This works for jamming in as many tables as you can but also causes some slight claustrophobia-like feel because your neighbor sits a bit closer than a normal restaurant. With that in mind, it does make having a conversation a bit difficult due to everyone's voice filling the room. I repeatedly had to go 'huh?' 'what?' more so than normal. But... I'm glad my initial skepticism was extinguished once we sat down and had our food. Just goes to show that you can't judge a book by it's cover.
