Grabbing Lunch at Thunder Bay's Hodder Greeks
One of the unique features in Thunder Bay are the little community corner stores. We need them. The winter weather harbours us in like land-locked boats, so journeying outside becomes a big trip, especially for kids. For them, a trip to the respite stop for a hot dog or a chocolate bar becomes a real thrill. There are fewer corner stores around today, but those left are dear to many hearts. Memories abound and the flavours are exactly as you remember.
There is only one Hodder Greeks in town with two separate owners, but they share that love of the corner joint. Burgers, hot dogs, coney dogs, sausages, fries, and poutine are the staple foods. The burgers are sliders-sized treats, as evidenced by their inexpensive price, so you might need two if you’re extra hungry. But before you order a second burger, consider the mega-size amount of fries you get. Arteries are still an important part of your body. Leave that little extra room for ice cream or candy.
The Hodder Greeks is located on Hodder Avenue (445 Hodder Ave.) and offers pick-up only, although in the summer there’ll be at least a couple picnic tables outside, but grab some grub and make a trip to beautiful Boulevard Lake.
