I've ordered food from Greenhouse plenty of times in the past, but haven't actually been to the storefront in Homewood. One of my coworkers works there, his second job (times are tough these days). He's never complained about Greenhouse since he's started. The concept is simple: salads, soups and sandwiches. The basics. Everything is delicious. Since I've only ever doordashed from there, I wanted to break away for my normal order of their grilled cheese. Though it is definitely a sandwich that needs more praise. It has a chimmichuri sauce on it which differentiates itself from other grilled cheese sandwiches in town. On this day I ordered the Greenhouse Salad. It was fantastic. Great balance of flavors with the addition of a creamy dressing. Typically I am the type of person who enjoyed fruits in my salads, so being able to order something new and exciting was just that... new and exciting. Greenhouse, not only has some amazing savory options they also serve up fresh juices and the best of the best cookies in town! The cookies are the size of your face and are delicious doesn't matter which pick. Unfortunately, I ordered the chocolate chip one and was given a raisin one. But that just helped to broaden my horizons! I will most definitely be coming back for more delicious food and great times at Greenhouse.

Let's dive into my recent dining experience at Avenue Pub, where comfort food meets exceptional flavors in a welcoming atmosphere. To start off, I can't get enough of their Pub Fries - cheese fries done right! They're perfectly crispy, and the peppercorn ranch dipping sauce takes them to the next level. It's addictive! For the main course, the Bacon Burger stole the show. What's a pub without a great burger? Avenue Pub certainly delivers with juicy beef, crispy bacon, and all the fixings. Another standout was the Fish and Chips, which recently earned my "best of" title. The fish was incredibly light and crispy, making it a delightful surprise. The dining experience at Avenue Pub was top-notch. The service was friendly and attentive, and they offer a fantastic selection of local beers to complement your meal. Ambience-wise, I love the vibe of this place. It strikes the perfect balance between cozy and lively. Plus, if you prefer to avoid the downtown hustle, they have convenient town locations to cater to everyone's preferences. In conclusion, Avenue Pub is always a must-visit for me whenever I'm in T-Town. Whether you're craving a satisfying burger, impeccable fish and chips, or just want to unwind with great drinks, Avenue Pub delivers on all fronts. Don't miss out on this gem of a spot!

The Berry Feta salad was delicious. No wilty greens!! Yay! I added blackened shrimp and they were perfectly cooked and not too spicy. My husband ordered the smoked Turkey sandwich. It was stacked high with turkey and the homemade pickles were awesome! House cut fries were also good. We will definitely try it again.

Yelpers say:

This place has been on my must try list for a while now. I had seen where fellow helpers had gone and praised their food and service. My experience was wonderful! I can't wait to go back and try more menu items. Leanne was awesome and helped me with my order. And I fully believe it when she said everything on their menu is great. I was treating myself to lunch out since my vacation plans had been spoiled by the recent winter storm that swept through. So, the soup and grilled cheese seemed like the perfect comfort meal for the frigid days we had. The grilled cheese was grilled perfectly and the brisket inside elevated the sandwich to more than your average grilled cheese. It has a sweet and savory flavor that I love! The soup was great as well. And of course paired well with the grilled cheese dipped into it I didn't have any intentions of ordering dessert, but it didn't take much to twist my arm after hearing the selections. I ordered the raspberry bread budding and they added some blueberries for me. It was amazing! I'm just sad I was too full to finish it and the homemade ice cream that accompanied the bread pudding.

Nice little lunch spot hidden away. Stevie's is a small sandwich shop hidden in an office building. They serve salads, sandwiches and have a hot lunch special. Have been a few times and have had their lasagna and their summer fruit lunch salad. Both were great but I really enjoyed the fruit salad. It was loaded with strawberries, blueberries and other fruits. It was a large salad that did not dissapoint. The prices are on the upper side for lunch but the quality of the ingredients justifies the cost. They have indoor seating which can get a little crowded but also have outside seating which is pleasant on nice days.

Upon entering Homewood Gourmet, I was greeted by an ambiance that struck the perfect balance between authenticity, cleanliness, and comfort. It felt like discovering a secret culinary haven where attention to detail is a priority. The service here was exemplary. The staff were exceptionally welcoming, their kindness and attentiveness making us feel more like honored guests than customers. This level of service added a uniquely personal touch to our visit. I opted for the fish sandwich accompanied by cucumber salad. The bread was a savory delight, forming the ideal base for the large, freshly prepared fish fillet. The combination was so delectable that my sandwich disappeared in just two minutes! Meanwhile, my wife enjoyed the soup of the day. Though its name eludes me, the soup's flavor lingers in my memory - it was simply extraordinary. Every sip was a taste sensation, expertly crafted and bursting with flavor. Our experience at Homewood Gourmet was nothing short of remarkable. The fusion of a welcoming environment, outstanding service, and culinary excellence makes this place a standout. We are eagerly anticipating our next visit and can unreservedly recommend Homewood Gourmet to anyone in search of an exceptional dining experience.
