New summer lunch special at Thunder Canyon Brewstillery features options for days

New summer lunch special at Thunder Canyon Brewstillery features options for days

Jun 14, 20182 min read


If there’s a part of the restaurant business that tends to be on the more difficult side – at least from what we hear – it’s building and sustaining a busy lunch. (Ideally, a profitable one, too.)

Fresh on the heels of a major relaunch, Thunder Canyon Brewstillery is no stranger to lunch. Just prior to the rebrand, the restaurant maintained a loyal lunch crowd.

To reiterate how serious they are about providing a delicious and affordable lunch, with a host of options, Thunder Canyon has rolled out a new “Summer Lunch Special” menu. The menu allows guests to choose lunch-sized portions of any two items (there are 11 total) with a soda or iced tea. And when they say any two items, they mean it. You could choose a lunch-sized pastrami sandwich and a lunch-sized Thunder Canyon burger for $10 on the same plate. Or two different kinds of burgers. Or a burger and a salad. You get the picture.

Thunder Canyon’s new Summer Lunch Special is $10, and available throughout the summer, Monday through Friday, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

@istanbultucson is expanding with a second location, @istanbulmediterraneanexpress, at 5660 W. Cortaro Farms Rd. 

The fast-casual spot will feature about 75% of the original location’s menu, plus two exclusive dishes: build-your-own Turkish stuffed baked potatoes, known as Kumpir, and fresh-ground doner made in-house. The falafel plate and stuffed potatoes can also be made vegan. 

“The first restaurant taught us what our customers love most, so at Cortaro we’re focusing the menu around our most popular dishes while making the experience a little more casual and convenient. Most importantly, we’ve learned that no matter how much we grow, the quality of our food has to stay high every single day.” — Kamran Esar

Daily hours: 11am - 9pm
