RC’s Corned Beef Corner

There not to bad. Average food for a fair price. I’ve been here quite a few times before new ownership and after. Overall I think they do as good as any other place like this

A place with corned beef listed in the name should make me so incredibly happy with its corned beef product and I can say this place is an utter disappointment. I ordered the hot corned beef sandwich and in order to heat the corned beef, they put it in the microwave. I asked for the bread warm and NOT toasted and they placed the bread in the toaster. The sandwich was wrapped in aluminum foil very sloppily, where a third graders lunch from mom could have looked and tasted better than this pile of junk. I’m so dissatisfied with spending almost 9 dollars on a small handful of corned beef and two pieces of rye toasted breaded that if any of you reading this bothers to even look at this restaurant and feel the same way I did before walking in there, I’ll be sure to come back here and read your miserable review as well. This restaurant should be ashamed to even be in business serving this JUNK. And they say they’re a New York style deli. In New York they’d be shut down by the public in a minute until they got their act together. Apparently there are plenty of ignorant people that will throw their money at this place. Not mine, never again.

I’m surprised to see seveal 4 and 5 star ratings. I thought the place had gone way down hill under the previous owners, not suspecting that it could get worse. Stopped with some friends after appointments at Bay Pines. One member of our party could not get in and out of the car so we picnic’d in the car. We asked the waitress to bring the order to us and I tipped generously. After a while the drinks were brought out, but we waited and waited for the food. Finally I went in to check fearing that it had been prepared and was sitting waiting for me to pick up (one person ordered a burger). I stood and waited as they finished getting the order ready. No utensils were included, there were stingy with napkins, a pickle was left off one sandwich, yata yata yata.
Now for the food. The turkey for a turkey rueben was microwaved, the tuna salad was dry and just tasted lousy, the breads were strictly low level commercial.
Hopefully I will never go near this place again, I say hopefully because I keep having to bring my very ill partner to Bay Pines for appointments and somehow or other he keeps navigating us back toward this place. If he does it again, I won’t order anything.

RC’s Corned Beef is a great spot when you’re wanting meals of all sizes and kinds. A lunch spot primarily, RC’s has branched out to serving breakfast seven days a week which recently started last week. We were lucky enough to have stopped by while we were staying in the area for breakfast this past weekend. We learned that the restaurant is recently under new ownership and has changed its name from the longstanding «Hoppy’s» to «RC’s».
Located in Lighthouse Plaza, this restaurant has outdoor patio seating which is dog friendly. The restaurant is on the corner of a plaza of stores and has a homey feel to it. Sitting in view of a window or outside gives you a nice view of the model Lighthouse and the Pinellas Park Trail.
Teresa and Megan were excellent servers and were personable and efficient at their jobs. Their positivity was radiant and I enjoyed my dining experience greatly because of them and the awesome food that we had.
Our breakfast was hot, fast and plentiful. The corned beef hash was probably the best I had ever eaten. The eggs were fluffy and fresh tasting. The biscuits were fresh, flaky, and delicious.
I learned from talking to the owner that they stock the best and freshest corned beef available. The sliced bread the restaurant uses is from Giovanni’s Bakery in Largo, FL. There are also other local bakery items for sale I the storefront. I spied that they have some deli style menu items on their lunch and dinner menu such as potato pancakes and knishes (not served for breakfast). I am eager to come back for lunch and try some of their menu offerings.
Thank you, RC’s, for delivering a solid, plentiful meal for us hungry travelers.

Used to be amazing when it was Hoppy’s. Now new owners. Waited an hour for a sandwich. Not very good. Server looked at us like she was surprised we were there and had forgot us. Oh well, last visit for us.
