320 Bay St, Thunder Bay, ON P7B 1S1, Canada
Healthy fast casual 'build your own salad' restaurant. Eat in or take out in the historic Bay Algoma area of Thunder Bay
I love that you could go to Rebel salad daily for a year+ and never have the same thing because you can create something different every single time. The tahini dressing is amazing and goes great with so many combinations. Truly one of the freshest, and most delicious lunch spots in town
Neat create your own salad cafe. Lots of fresh choices. Huge servings. Neat chalk wall.
Best. Salad. EVER!! I keep thinking about it 😅 A must go in Tbay! Fairly easy to figure out as well, just be patient!
1st time visiting, was well explained on the wall and on menu loved I was able to create my own salad, the potato and onion soup was delish thick the way I like. Will definitely be back
This is the best salad I’ve ever had no joke! The freshness, flavors of marinated veggies, and that roasted tofu were perfect
I was on a trip in Thunder Bay and wanted something healthy but filling and tasty. And I found this place. The food was so good!!! OMG I had rice with chicken, cheese, and vegetables with a greek dressing. Products were fresh and tasted delicious I will certainly go there again
Always a friendly hello when you walk in the door. Salad ingredients are fresh and delicious every time. I'll overlook the whole chopsticks for take-out due to everything else about this place being fantastic. I think that remark I made about the chopsticks earlier, is mainly due to my own chopstick insecurities. So yeah, that's probably more of a me issue I suppose. You can place an order for pick up online. Or place an order when you get there and not have to wait very long for them to throw it all together. This establishment is going to be around for a long time. Just from my perspective as a repeat customer, whenever I am in Rebel Salad, they are constantly preparing online and in person orders. Walk on in. Construct your masterpiece salad on the paper provided, then pass it to the pro. A few minutes later, they toss you back your Salad.
I love the set up of the store and how you order. Price is fair and I love the fact that the ingredients are fresh and local. My broccoli wasn't marinated which made me a little sad, and the rice was half cooked. Otherwise it's really yummy and a very health conscious choice that doesn't leave you hungry.
Healthy and lots of proteins
For the dine in, Im not a fan of hightop tables the lower tables were at the side in the hallway. Kid-friendliness: They did have a 1 booster seat. But it had to be strapped to the tall chairs. And we had 2 kids needing high chairs.
Love Rebel salad. I wish they had child sized salads. Also, I noticed the staff that make the salads sometimes have tank tops on...I cannot stand seeing armpits while making my food.
Simple, non pretentious cafe for mind blowing, out of this world, delicious, fresh, and healthy salads. I wish they had nuts (or did I miss that on the menu?) like walnuts or almonds tho.
I would give it a better review but for my $20 salad I paid for the compostable takeout container, the least they could do is provide take out utensils instead of chopsticks. Customers always get the brunt of these small businesses trying to be on trend for the environment Shame. Who tf eats salad with chopsticks? Lame!
Great food and very quick
Very friendly, well priced and excellent service
I went in for the first time last week with a friend and have been wanting to go back since ! Amazing salad selections/toppings, fast and friendly service and huge portions. Definitely recommend to all ! Vegetarian options: Your salad is customized by you. You pick everything you want from the list of options on the boards and write it on a piece of paper and they go by what you wrote. Parking: Lots of parking across the street. Kid-friendliness: It s a friendly atmosphere where anyone can go and enjoy an amazing healthy meal !
Vegetarian options: Make your own salad has great veg options that make a real salad not a bowl of lettuce Dietary restrictions: Good options for gluten free, veg, vegan, lots of customizability for other restrictions. Does have allergens in the kitchen. Parking: Mostly meter parking unless you park on a side street nearby. Angle parking on Bay. Lot parking across the street.
Love creating my own salad Fresh ingredients and local
First time being in store, the server was helpful and explained how everything worked. Salad was served really quick and large and delicious! Cute shop and environment with nice art on display. Would recommend!
Such high-quality ingredients and the salads turn out so good. I would recommend that people that arent good at matching flavours get the recommended salads or ask for advice but, everything is exceptionally fresh and the dressings are delicious. The venue could feel crowded when its busy to some people, if you prefer more privacy and space and go during peak hours Id recommend getting it to take out.
The great variety of choices fits many likes/dislikes. The true fresh quality is amazing and the people who work there are patient, helpful and kind. Absolutely fantastic place; when Im back in Thunder Bay I will definitely be visiting again! PS music playlist is awesome as well
Amazing - the best salad spot in town ! A little expensive but it is a treat when you have it.
Great locally owned and locally sourced restaurant. Great vibe In the restaurant and the food is always fresh. A little on the pricey side, two salads is $35 but I can understand why the food is all fresh and organic. The only downside, is the staff can be unfriendly at times.
I had a $5 cookie and it was really dry like it had been sitting on the counter for too long. I ve had them before and they are usually pretty good. After complaining about my cookie, I was told the recipe is always the same, maybe it dried out from being in the freezer. Duh I make a lot of purchases at Rebel Salad, never complain when they make my salad wrong ( and they do) just eat the salad because it is always good, but this is a $5 cookie. How about some decent customer service by replacing it. I m adding to this review about the cookies. Not only are they sometimes dry but they cut them to half the size and still charge four dollars.
Great Place! Their Salads are just awesome
Wonderful filling meals.
Wonderful concept - amazing food! Vegetarian options: Lots of choices for vegetarians Food : 5/5 |
One of our favourite stops as we drive across the country. Delicious, custom, hearty salads. Order ahead online for even more convenience. Personal favourite combo is: mixed greens salad with shredded beets, shredded carrots, quinoa chicken, sweet potato and slivered almonds with the tahini dressing. It s SOOO delicious. It s WORTH GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY. Stop reading this review and just go!!! (Beware, there is no cutlery provided though so bring your own!) $35 for two salads. Dietary restrictions: A few vegan salad dressing options. And lots of vegan protein options too.
Never a bad meal. So fresh. Just the way you want your salad. So yummy!!!
Amy is an amazing business owner and the food is always spectacular here
Fresh salads, great selection, friendly staff!
AMAZING SALADS!! We were visiting from Winnipeg and felt like salad for lunch. The salads were so good that we went back again the next day. Even my husband, who is a large 6 4 man, was full after his salad. The tahini dressing is the best!!
Passed by here on our way to Toronto. Such a unique approach to salads. Keep it up Rebel!
Absolutely wonderful! Best salad I ever ate. Im not really a salad person, but a friend invited me here. I can honestly say I enjoyed this much better than any other quick food option in T-Bay. No pics of my meal since since I ate it so fast! I had: heritage greens + shredded chicken, gouda cheese + shredded carrot, roasted beet, marinated cucumber + ranch dressing + bread. Nummy-num-nums!
I get Rebel Salad weekly, at least! In my dozens of orders everything is always perfect! Only once has there been a mistake and it was taken care of promptly and professionally and I even got a sorry cookie
I get a delicious salad every time I go to Rebel Salad.
Love coming to Rebel Salad anytime I visit Thunderbay. They have a great selection of DIY salads with local ingredients. My favourite items are the croutons and the marinated mushrooms. The value is great too as for about $15 you can get a pretty large salad that will fill you up and make you feel great. I also love all the options as you can never get bored of their food.
Delicious. Excellent. Highly recommend.
Food is absolutely fantastic. Best salad Ive ever had!
Great place to stop in if youre in the mood for a big, filling salad and tons of variety possible with their salad customizing system. We will always visit when were in Thunder Bay.
The very very best!
Variety abound, outstanding service and filling choices Vegetarian options: Fabulous variety Dietary restrictions: They offer a rainbow of ingredients, fresh, raw, cooked, filling and nutritious Kid-friendliness: Excellent
The salad dressing does not come in a to go container, even though you are paying for to-go container on your bill, so when carrying the food, drink and side item, it went sideways spilling the dressing everywhere on my guest! The container is not leak proof either. There should be a warning or provide a to go bag to keep it upright. Or a container that prevents spilling. Something! Because no effort was made there.
Great staff, great selection for vegetarians and vegans and omnivores!! One of my go tos!!
Excellent salads! Can t say enough.
Great place for a healthy meal on the road. We enjoyed a couple of hearty salads that filled us up and settled the stomachs after a day of snacking on the road. The take-out menu/process was very easy. We will be stopping in again.
This place is amazing. We were visiting Thunder Bay and were looking for a healthy option for take-out lunches. Rebel Salad did not disappoint. The ingredients were fresh, portions generous, topping options plentiful and staff friendly. The salads were delicious and filled us up. We went back a few times through our week.
Nice little spot with great food and service. The atmosphere is great!! I highly recommend this place for an amazing salad. Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegan and vegetarian options
Best place in town. Joel is a beauty!!!
The best salads I have had in a long time and certainly in Thunder Bay. Vegan friendly, healthy, flavorful and delicious. I highly recommend the tahini dressing. If it were a bit cheaper, I would be there all the time but the pricing is fair for the quality.
Amazing little restaurant. They make fresh, tasty custom salads and have a really cool eco container program. The only downside is that they are a touch expensive.
Always a great meal with fast and friendly service
only complaint not enough seats. laugh place is so busy because the food is amazing. the drinks oh my that lemon meringue pie drink was the best.
Expensive but good, I wish they digitized the ordering process but always statified and happy with the food.
Sure, you want to feel like you eat healthy, but youre not clear on how to build it? Rebel salad takes all the guess work out of a tasty bowl of freshness! Just fill out your card with a progression of easy picks, and the friendly staff builds your perfect salad... trust me, theres not bad choices, so great place to expand your taste buds. Chopsticks are standard, for reduced plastic consumption.
First visit- will be a regular! Fresh flavorful food and lovely staff!
Amazing staff, polite, clean, positive atmosphere. Fresh colorful items to choose from there menu to homemade dressings, local products, great place to eat something fresh and delicious.
This place should win an award for taking salads to a whole other level! Whether you re a vegan, carnivore or omnivore, you will love this place!! Fresh wholesome ingredients, a wide selection of toppings and dressings, a super convenient online ordering experience and first class service with a smile! Huge satisfying portions btw!!! Thanks Rebel Salad!! Will be back =D
Yummy, fresh salads! Will definitely come again.
Obsessed. Cant get enough. My bank account is now in the negatives.
Delicious, fresh ingredients, lots of choices available, large portions. Kind staff, fast service, great ambience and I like that they had a reusable container service available.
Excellent portions and fresh ingredients! Cant wait to go back.
This place never disappoints. Nobody does salad better!
Awesome salads. Loved the variety of items you could choose to build your own salad with. Decent amounts of each ingredient were added, they asked if the salad dressing should be on the side or not. If I lived in Thunder Bay, Id be a regular. Only wishes: would like the webpage to be include their phone number, and the online ordering system should offer the kale as an option for your base. We struggled to figure out how to phone in the order to ask for kale.
Not leaves were ripe...portion inappropriate for priced charged.
This place has consistently amazing quality! Highly recommend
I keep going here because it is pretty convenient, but the quality is taking a dive and they keep getting my order wrong. Ordered rice, got greens. Paid extra for some olives, didnt get any olives. Ingredients arent very fresh, its kind of just a soggy pile of leftovers...
Great options to the same old Burger & Fries, super flavors, great selection of options, my only regret is it took me this long to try it.
Not as good as the Growing Season.. which is odd as they are both similar and owned by the same people.
Always excellent!
Love my salad
This place is amazing. The staff are so friendly and the salads are delicious. Item choices including marinated dill cucumbers, thai coconut lime dressing and juicy flavorful roasted chicken just to name a few of my favorites!
Amazing salads excellent service
These salads are so dang good! So much better priced and tasting than Freshii! Definitely recommend!
I had a takeout salad from here recently and it was delicious. The ingredients were fresh, the options were many, the service was friendly and the portion size was great. Awesome local place!
Food was good. Many choices to customize your meal. Staff was friendly. They are only operating in Take-out mode due to COVID restrictions.
best salad. maybe needs mo dressing than what it comes with. Ive only tried it once but Ill be back for more. so many options to choose and different salads to build :D
I put together a mean salad, its the fresh ingredients that make it count the most. Feeling rebellious. <3
Rebel salad and growing season are two of the best places to get food in this city!
The place to go if you want a delicious salad absolutely loaded with all your favorite ingredients.
Always incredible. So fresh, so fast, so delicious.
So good.
First time and it was fantastic!
Great food, awesome ambiance, thoroughly enjoyed everything
Loved it. Very friendly service.
Amazing.
The salads are fresh, huge portions and there are so many options to customize your salad.
#Best.Salad.Ever
great atmosphere , delicious choices, great staff
Rebel Salad is always very very good. If you have a bad meal from Rebel Salad is your own fault.
I heard such great things about this place so I was really excited to try it even though the salads are quite expensive. I got the Thunder oak gouda on my salad and I was very happy that they shredded it into small pieces so that I didnt just get odd, huge chunks of cheese and the tofu was pretty good! However, I had a problem Ive never had before and that was that there were way too many topping in the salad for only the like 5 leaves of lettuce they gave me! The cheese was good, but there was so much. Like an insane amount, I was feeling sick by halfway through and I was still uncovering so much cheese. My partner finally convinced me to ask for some more lettuce and I did, and they said no. I couldnt even pay for some more. I forced myself through the rest only because I hate food waste and paid a good amount for the salad. If it had had better balance, I probably wouldve enjoyed the portion size, but it was more just cheese with dressing. The dressing was good but it got old pretty fast. This place disappointed me and I will never recommend or go back to a place with bad service and bad food.
Epic and delicious. Not what I expected from a salad shop. Not the cheapest option but after seeing and then tasting the food I got for my money it felt like I should have paid more. Super friendly staff. I will visit everytime Im in Thunderbay!
Sorry have not been yet but planning on it...just noticed two whiner revues within 10 spots of each other...typical...one said not enough greens and the next said too much greens...flakes!
Tastiest, healthiest place to eat.
Its good for an alternative for lunch besides the usual ..15 bucks for a fair suze salad
Great fresh salads, built the way I want, cozy atmosphere, friendly staff
Great build your own salads for any taste. Happy to support a delicious locally owned option such as this!
Made-to order salad! You choose a base Rice or greens), 2 proteins (quinoia, chicken etc), toppings, veggies, and dressings. It was very healthy and colourful! The dining area has a laid back atmosphere.
Portion sizes are smaller then when it first opened. Good food.
I love going to rebel salad. They have great options everything is ways fresh and the salad dressings are delicious. Staff is friendly and its a great atmosphere. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a health option downtown.
Salad choices AMAZING! I am severely celiac and they accommodated me.
Always fresh, prompt, delicious and worth the money!
Nice spot, great atmosphere, and fantastic food!
Great place for vegan or vegetarian options
Great, fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
Amazing
The Caesar Salad!!!!
Absolutely amazing. Tried the recommended salad and was not disappointed. Wait time is a little long, so not good if youre in a rush, but if you have time it is worth it. Excited to go back abd try a different combination.
You choose everything that goes into your salad. What a selection!
Awesome is the only word I have for Rebel Salad
Im not a salad guy, but still loved the make-your-own salad options here.
A Great place to grab a salad. Great proportions. Friendly atmosphere. Thumbs up.
Amazing food, great staff. Best place to get a fresh healthy meal! I only wish they were open more hours on weekends.
Too expensive
Great food. Fresh!!!
Delicious and healthy
Always fresh and delicious! Never a disappointment. I pay the extra for the *to go container even if I eat in. I find it easier to navigate than when its in a bowl.
definitely 5 stars. Awesome custom salads.
Amazing. Perfect. Keep it up!
Fresh, build your own locally sourced friendly staff, great atmosphere. Wouldnt hesitate to bring visitors, friends and family here.
Im not one for salad, if Im going for dinner or lunch chances are I wont be ordering a salad to go with. However, rebel has changed that, Ill easily go to rebel for lunch 4/5 days of the week. They have an amazing selection and menu and its really creative, think of subway but for salad. Ive never been so impressed by a salad before but is easily give rebel a 6/5 if it was possible!
Fantastic!
Rebel salad is a cozy, clean space. The salads are excellent and as a result, the place is quite busy around lunch hour. They have local art on display, and the chalk-board paint walls are available for your doodling pleasures while you wait/eat. You select your salad type and toppings by indicating food items by category and submitting them to the cashier. Its easy and delicious! The average single person salad with no additional cost toppings is a little over $15. I work in restaurants so I rarely ever repeat visits to other restaurants, as I can make my own meals at home for much less, and usually better than what I buy at a restaurant, but I must say I really enjoy rebel salad, and I will continue to go there once in a while.
Love it! Fresh, friendly and oh so tastey!
Delicious and healthy and perfect quick lunch to satisfy us on our drive through Thunder Bay.
Love it! Healthy, delicious salads in a friendly atmosphere!
Excellent food and excellent atmosphere! All the toppings and combinations are wonderful, making a bad salad it impossible! The staff are friendly and the place has comfortable seating! I will definitely be back again!
Awesome custom to order salads
Super healthy. Fast. And super friendly
Their salads are great no question but they are bit pricey. You have to choose the toppings, veggies, dressing on your own too unlike growing season. The veggies and meat that you add are good but their portions were too small compared to the huge bed of Kale that I got underneath which was way too much.
Really some of the best build-your-own salad Ive ever had.
Beautiful and fresh!
