In other news, we got takeout from Tanner’s in Spryfield last night and were really impressed by how yummy it was (and also cheaper than fast food). We’re probably the last people to discover Tanner’s, haha. Any other takeout faves, Halifax? - ThreadSky

Before I left town for four months, we were doing weekly takeout and I was reviewing the new-to-me ones. In case any of those appeal! https://bsky.app/profile/justip.bsky.social/post/3lbeuov3fis2v

Wow, there is a veritable *feast* of good options in that thread. Thank you!

Our favourite delivery pizza is Tomavino’s, and we also enjoy Talay Thai delivery. Other than that, I think most of our takeout is more “functional” than “favourite”. If it’s decent, and convenient, we order occasionally: Armview, Easy Street Diner, Naan and Curry, Wild Leek.

envirojen.bsky.social•4 days ago

Oh, I forgot - we do enjoy Blue Olive for Greek food. And we all loved the meal we had from Lone Wolf (currently moving/renaming).

affabletoaster.bsky.social•4 days ago

Thanks for these! I’ve been following Lone Wolf for a while but have never tried it. Looking forward to hearing about their new location/name when the time comes!

We definitely need to branch out our pizza game, too. Noted!

envirojen.bsky.social•4 days ago

Lone Wolf will be operating out of AlterEgo on Gottingen. I can’t remember the new name though! @bikehfxlobby.bsky.social might remember?

bikehfxlobby.bsky.social•4 days ago

I don’t remember! ReTales shared it at some point.

bikehfxlobby.bsky.social•4 days ago

Tsukimi!

affabletoaster.bsky.social•4 days ago

Nice! I hadn’t caught that they had found a new spot yet. That’s great!

envirojen.bsky.social•4 days ago

Thanks for mentioning this! They seem to have their own delivery service, which is great! We'll check them out. The homemade ice-cream sandwiches look great, but perhaps might not be best by delivery.

terriclarke.bsky.social•4 days ago

The cookies and ice cream sandwiches are really good. Can confirm. They also own Uncle Bucks Pizza now, the two businesses are in the same location. And they give back to the community a ton. If there’s any kind of local fundraiser, local event, local tragedy, etc they always send free pizza.

envirojen.bsky.social•4 days ago

Oh, I didn’t realize Uncle Buck’s still existed?! Didn’t they used to be on South Park St. near Inglis?! Pretty sure I ordered from them when I lived in the tiniest studio apartment on Wellington St.

terriclarke.bsky.social•4 days ago

Not that I know of. It’s been a Spryfield business for decades but the original owners retired and sold to Rick Tanner. When would that have been? I lived in the south end not far from there a handful of times in my renting days.

envirojen.bsky.social•4 days ago

I first moved to Halifax in Autumn 2005, so my memory of Uncle Buck’s on South Park St is 20 years ago now!

envirojen.bsky.social•4 days ago

MapQuest says yes? https://www.mapquest.com/ca/nova-scotia/uncle-bucks-455842448

affabletoaster.bsky.social•4 days ago

Those sandwiches looked awesome!

They’ve also got seating in-store, if the trip out there makes sense. Might be nice in combo with a trip to the pool!

hannahr.bsky.social•4 days ago

Their subs are so delicious, and great value too!

envirojen.bsky.social•4 days ago

Their whole menu appears to be very value-priced!

affabletoaster.bsky.social•4 days ago

We overstuffed two adults for $25. Fast food for us these days is easily $30-40.

terriclarke.bsky.social•4 days ago

Another good takeout spot here in Spryfield is The Tunisian Dude. He’s so nice. It’s all homemade, and he always gives me 5 or more extra free containers of sauce when I pick up takeout from him.

evaschmeva.bsky.social•4 days ago

Mrs P’s has some yummy homemade stews and things in their freezer! And we had a respectable sushi takeout last night from Sushi Cove.

terriclarke.bsky.social•4 days ago

I love Mrs P’s. They always let me bring my bike into their tiny store when I’m picking up takeout.

envirojen.bsky.social•4 days ago

I am in this neighbourhood for work lately, and have made a few trips to Mrs. P’s, but only by car. I don’t have it in me to cycle on HCR.

terriclarke.bsky.social•4 days ago

I live there and never cycle on HCR

affabletoaster.bsky.social•4 days ago

A safe AT route from Spryfield to the peninsula is so necessary! I found this on the city website, if anyone familiar with it?

terriclarke.bsky.social•4 days ago

I’ve been waiting for those Herring Cove bike lanes since I moved out here in 2013 😭

affabletoaster.bsky.social•4 days ago

Thanks, those are great recs!

evaschmeva.bsky.social•4 days ago

ohh we’ve been living in the area for 5 years and I’ve never tried it yet. Making a note of it

bikehfxlobby.bsky.social•4 days ago

I… have never heard of this place!
We got falafel factory recently. So delicious.

affabletoaster.bsky.social•4 days ago

HFX Retales has said good things about them, and we finally checked them out. Not easy to get to by bike, unfortunately, but they do deliver.

I love falafels! Thanks for the rec, added to the list!

terriclarke.bsky.social•4 days ago

If you wanna take the COLT Kevin has a good HFx by bike video that’ll get you pretty close to Tanners. I live closeby enough to walk.

affabletoaster.bsky.social•4 days ago

Ooh, I’ll have to check that out. I didn’t think the COLT went far enough that way (or else we’d love to use it to get to the Capt Spry pool!)

terriclarke.bsky.social•4 days ago

I wish it did! Bike infrastructure ends at the corner of Dunbrack and Walter Havill. 😢 But you can weave through a combination of local roads and short paved or gravel pathways to get to Spryfield from there. There’s a couple different ways, none are direct.

terriclarke.bsky.social•4 days ago

I get to take the MacIntosh Run community trail my whole way to the Spry centre. It’s a fantastic AT trail that I wish connected to other infrastructure. (Except for the past couple weeks when it’s been covered in ice.)

heatherhfx.bsky.social•4 days ago

Tarek's is our neighbourhood go-to. Split a half & half dinner, add a few falafel balls on the side.

drconnys.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yes, I second that! We are regulars there, my favourite is the falafel pita, yummy!

oakhill.studio•4 days ago

Kelis deli in Rockingham, subs again but insanely good and well priced

affabletoaster.bsky.social•4 days ago

Thank you! I love subs!
