Growing Season Eatery — Restaurant in Thunder Bay

Great lunch visit!

Came in today in the early afternoon, which was apparently right near the beginning of the Saturday afternoon rush! The phone was ringing off the hook while the staff took orders at the front counter, servicing a lineup that extended out the door.

The staff were clearly swamped in all aspects of the business but they handled themselves like seasoned hospitality. The staff were friendly and their demeanor belied the fact that they were very nearly in the weeds for service.

We found the outdoor seating behind the building and enjoyed the scenery and our drinks while we waited. The portion sizing of our dishes was markedly more than expected and everything was tasty! We were pleasantly suprised at the value and quality of everything - perhaps we shouldn't have been!

The interior/exterior of the business immediately puts you at ease and give you lots to look at. The feeling is rustic and comfortable.

Thank you for the wonderful visit today. We will recommend you highly and will stop in everytime we come through town.

It took a great amount of convincing to get my husband to stop here rather than the usual Tim Hortons and this didn’t help with his distaste for health/planet conscious eateries.

We would have appreciated a heads up - a “bring your own cutlery” note on the website when we placed our order would have...

I feel 100% confident recommending this restaurant. The prices are amazing, the people are always sweet and welcoming, the food is always delicious, and the portions are filling! Their hummus is the best I've had! My usual order is the tofu chipotle unwrapped and I would definitely recommend, their tofu is the best I've tried and they have really good naan bread. Great atmosphere too, I love that they hang the artwork of different local artists each week. They are also super inclusive and always have a large pride flag hanging in the window. You can eat in or dine out and I would definitely recommend the strawberry...
