Yorktown's Awesome Breakfast Burrito Wins Cleveland magazine's "Best Of" award for 2012

Cleveland Magazine admits that they "rarely encourage our readers to spend their dining experiences at local gas stations, but Yorktown Service plaza is the exception."

In fact, the home-made food at Yorktown is so good, it won the magazine's 2012 "Best Of" for Best Burrito sandwich.

The Plaza, which opened in 1972 as a small service station, added a kitchen in 2004, according to Yorktown Vice President Matt Shull. Since then, they have been adding to their menu of fresh subs and salads.

Their breakfast sandwiches debuted several years ago when the Plaza was looking to diversify, says Matt. "We brought a little bit of home cooking into it instead of just the fast-food concept that you see at other places." The result is large, made-to-order breakfast sandwiches that give diners an enormous choice of options.

The winning Breakfast Burrito is a full-sized tortilla stuffed with eggs, green peppers, onions, tomato, salsa, and sour cream, with a choice of meats and cheeses, all made up right in front of you.

The Plaza also offers breakfast sandwiches which can be customized in dozens of ways. First, there's the Breads:

Bagel

Everything Bagel

Croissant

English Muffin

Pretzel Roll

Texas Toast

Wheat or Tomato-Basil Wrap

Rye Bread

Pancake

Then, the meats, cheeses, and egg options:

Meat    Bacon Sausauge Turkey Ham Gyro Chicken Salami Bologna Pepperoni Steak

Egg Fried Egg Egg White Scrambled

Cheese American Provolone Swiss Nacho Pepper Jack Cream Cheese

Everything's value-priced, too, says Matt. "We try and offer good food at a fair price."

It's a strategy that seems to be resonating home with customers. "Once people come in, taste the food, and see what they can get for their money, it's a win."
