20 Best Soup near Windsor

“This is a small hole in the wall type of place which i love. I ordered chicken pad thai, shrimp fresh rolls(summer rolls) and tom kha gai soup. The summer rolls were very different from others I've had. It doesn't seem like they use butter lettuce for theirs as you can tell that they aren't very green. The peanut sauce was really thick and tasted a lot lighter than others I've had. It was okay. In terms of the tom kha soup. I feel like this is the thai version of french onion soup. Every place makes it different and some are really good and some aren't. This one was very basic. Onions regular button mushrooms, green peppers, and i think some ginger. Didn't taste any lemon grass or anything. It was still refreshing and good tasting, just not up there with some of the others I've had. The pad thai was decent, it does seem like they use tamarind paste which is traditional. The bad was it seemed pretty oily and the oil taste was pretty over powering. The boba tea was awesome! I had the brown sugar thai tea. Overall this was decent in terms of the food we had. Definitely worth a try. Thanks!“

“The Pinnacle of High-Class Dining

Well, folks, let me tell ya, I done seen some fancy places in my day—like the Red Lobster out by the interstate—but nothing, and I mean *nothing*, coulda prepared me for the high society experience that is Olive Garden. This ain't just dinner, it's a dang *event*.

First thing I noticed was the atmosphere. Real cloth napkins, not just the scratchy brown ones from a gas station dispenser. A lady in a button-up shirt brought us bread *for free*, and I nearly fell out my boots. That’s hospitality, right there. The sign says, *"When You’re Here, You’re Family,"* and I gotta say, I ain't never felt more like kinfolk anywhere that didn't have a bail bondsman on speed dial.

Now, the food? *Exquisite*. I ordered the Chicken Alfredo ‘cause it had the most expensive-soundin' name, and buddy, it was like the Lord Himself boiled those noodles. My cousin Bubba Joe said his spaghetti was “real gourmet,” and that’s sayin’ something, ‘cause he usually eats his pasta straight out the can.

Course, not all my kinfolk appreciated the refinement. My Aunt Brenda Sue got kicked out ‘fore the salads even hit the table ‘cause she tried lightin’ a Marlboro right there in the booth. She said, *“I thought this place was Italy! Don’t them Europeans love smokin’?”* The manager did not see her logic.

Then there was my brother Cletus, who took the “All You Can Eat” breadsticks as a *challenge*. After about basket number seven, the waiter started givin’ us the side-eye, but Cletus just kept hollerin’, *“I ain’t full yet, fancy boy!”* I think they were fixin’ to cut us off, but then cousin Raylene started flirtin’ with the busboy and bought us a little more time.

The night took a turn when my Uncle Randy decided to sample the wine list, which we usually don’t mess with unless it’s in a box. He said the house Chianti tasted like “fancy Welch’s grape juice with a kick,” and I’ll be damned if that ain’t the most poetic thing that man’s ever said. He got cut off after his fourth glass and tried tellin’ ‘em he was an *Italian prince* to get more. Didn’t work.

By the end of the night, after a heapin’ pile of pasta, unlimited salad, and just a *tiny* bit of property damage (Randy knocked over a whole display of them glass olive oil bottles while tryin’ to reenact a scene from *The Godfather*), we wobbled on outta there feelin’ like true high society folk. I ain’t never been nowhere that fancy, and I tell ya what, I’m gonna make Olive Garden our new special occasion spot.

*When you're here, you're family,* and I never felt that more than when we all got banned from ever comin’ back.“

“In my opinion based on years of testing different Vietnamese cuisines, this is one of the best. Always the same consistency, taste and service. Tradition and family!“

“Yes yes yes’s. Great waitress and fabulous bus boy. Leighana and Aaron are great employees“

“So fresh and delicious! #7th Day Give Back Event to benefit local food banks!“

“I'm so glad my boyfriend made me go here. I thought it would be just like any walk in restaurant with mediocre food but I was so wrong! I’m an extremely picky eater and absolutely loved everything we got. This is also the first place I’ve been in a long time that actually had good salmon. They’re homemade dressing and marinate is so unique we went back in to buy a bottle after trying it with the complimentary salad we were given. 10/10 would go again!“

“You need to try french fries at Baja's restaurant. Very good taste and crispy.“

“Best pastrami south outside of NYC.“

“I will be coming back here again to try other things on the menu“

“Out favorite sandwich shop. Quaint hoe atmosphere. Always crash food“

“First time and definitely worth the hour long drive from new Milford! I got the Black&Blue combo with the cheddar and broccoli soup, and it was amazing! I can’t wait to try something different next time!

Dietary restrictions: They have different salads, the Caesar salad was pretty good. They also have vegetarian options as well

Parking: It was a little busy when we came so we did have to look for a spot, but there are plenty of spots

Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu“

“Fresh and delicious! Doesn’t get any better than this.“

“We came here on Sunday, January 26th, 2025.

We walked in, and Chavez greeted us immediately, seated us as soon as possible, and was a lovely gentleman to chat with while waiting. (We weren’t waiting long, but it’s always nice to be able to be personable with staff).

Austin, our server, was delightful to us and the rest of the customers he seated around us this evening. He was knowledgeable about the specials and other menu items. He made sure to check on us frequently, and brought us everything we asked for efficiently. (He recommends the Chicken Alfredo with extra crispy chicken and broccoli).

Our food couldn’t be described as anything less than amazing. Yes, it’s your “standard” Olive Garden food: the breadsticks, salad, pasta, etc. BUT, our salad was plated BEAUTIFULLY, and our food came out at the perfect temperature, and delicious.

I ordered the Seafood Alfredo, and he ordered one of the specials: The Three Meat Manicotti. My scallops and shrimp tasted fresh, and were seared carefully. The manicotti was beyond expectations, and very tasty.

Those things, and a couple Shirley Temples brought the total to $51.38 (with tax).

We had a wonderful dinner here today, and definitely recommend this location!

Thank you for reading, and don’t forget to tip your servers!!“

“I ordered take out, as we do a lot. We found the food enjoyable and plentiful. Olive Garden takes heat for "not being real Italian food." It is what it is. There are plenty of Italian/ Greek places to eat. The Olive Garden employs a decent amount of people and provides a comfortable atmosphere and pretty good food. If you don't particularly like them, don't go. No need to put a place down, as others probably find it to be just fine.

Parking: Very large parking lot.

Wheelchair accessibility: Of course its ADA compliant. They have strict codes they must observe“

“Nick, Thank you for taking care of me and my cousin this past weekend. The pizza & service were worth the drive.. Sincerely, Barkhamsted“

“clean and tidy, the staff are very friendly ect“

“I've ordered out from here for a years and it's always consistently great. At this point, I can't see myself ordering from anywhere else in the area for chinese takeout. Tonight I tried, for the first time, the chicken wings in garlic sauce. YOU MUST GET THE CHICKEN WINGS IN GARLIC SAUCE! I'm not trying to be dramatic, but they did change my life and I will not be ordering wings from any other establishment until someone can confirm a place that can TOP these garlic sauce wings at Wangs Kitchen.“

“I have ordered food here a number of times, and each time I receive it, I have nothing but positive comments. The MENU is extensive which shows you the cooks knowledge of various regional cuisines.She is always very pleasant when I come in, give this place a try - you will like the food.“

“Went thete for 1st time tasty pannini but not sure if would go again. Too expensive, $25.00 for 2 pannins, no drinks or chips“

“I just had the most heartwarming experience! 8/19/24 at 6:30 pm) I was standing outside of this location for a few minutes, hoping the intense pouring rain would let up so I wouldn’t get completely soaked walking to my car - no more than 5 minutes. An employee (long-ish blonde hair, partially pulled back on both sides) came out and asked if I need an umbrella! I wasn’t a customer, yet she noticed my debacle, and came out to offer help. I think we can all learn from her to keep spreading kindness! To management - you’ve got a true gem on your hands. Thank you for reminding me to pay it forward.“
