The Outpost — Restaurant in Thunder Bay

Ugh, I ate at the Outpost for the second time in 2 weeks. I would have rather eaten at the Aramark cafeteria, but unfortunately it's closed for renovations. The first time I had to hunt down someone who would take my order, I was tempted to go behind the deserted bar and help myself since there was no one working. Eventually a server showed up. I ordered a hamburger and salad. The food took forever to arrive. The burger was charred on the outside and underdone in the middle. The salad was from a bag. The salad was ridiculously tiny, and some of the leaves were black and moldy. I felt for $11 this delivered piss poor quality. I would have complained to the server but she was long gone, again.

Once again I was forced to eat at the Outpost today. I would have been better off eatting from the vending machines in the basement. Today's special was roasted vegetable grilled cheese. You'd think that if the special was a grilled cheese, you'd get a grilled cheese, right? Instead I got a stinky goat cheese and mozzarella sandwich that I couldn't eat. When I complained to the chef, she gave me a lot of attitude. I explained that I was expecting a grilled cheese sandwich - I explained that I couldn't eat goat cheese. She didn't offer to make me something else. Luckily I ordered a side order of onion rings, so I didn't starve. But $11 for a side order of onion rings is ridiculous. The food took forever to arrive. The server, who was sitting at a table with her friends, lied - she said I'd get the food within 5 minutes. The tables were disgusting. I picked the cleanest table I could find. It was smeared with greasy handprints and covered in crumbs. I was so grossed out that I called the Health Unit to complain.

The Outpost has horrible service and overpriced food. It definitely doesn't cater to students on a budget. TWO...

I have fond memories of the food here as a student 7+ years ago. Unfortunately, since returning I’ve eaten 3 different meals here, and all have been…to be frank, terrible and over priced. The Post should be a great place for the university community to sit down for a decent lunch, and I want to see this place thrive, but it feels more like eating at a bowling alley…Somehow there is nowhere on campus to get a decent lunch…Tim Hortons (off campus) is by far and away the best option for food right now, and I think that...

The Campus Outpost hosted and catered a national conference with us this past weekend. Not only was the food delicious and the portions huge, their newly renovated space looks great. I highly recommend the outpost's breakfasts to anyone hosting a conference at Lakehead - their eggs, bacon, sausage, tater tots, fruit, pastries, yogurt etc. etc. were delicious, and they took good care of our conference attendees who...
