Soup near Iowa City

“I tried the grilled cheese sandwich and it was the best grilled cheese sandwich I've ever had. 5 STARS!!“

“This place was surprisingly good. The chicken melt was amazing and the bread was crispy. The adjacent coffee shop has a variety of lattes and the vibes are great to hang out as well as do work at. Would totally come back to this place. The current photos of the food do not do it justice.“

“This was a nice quick stop on my visit in Iowa. I will be back and forth often, so I was scoping local areas. They were quick and those working the Salad Co Side were helpful and talkative. The soup was really good and the grilled cheese sandwich was decent. I marked one star down because their hours were not correct, and we wouldn't have come in, or rushed if we knew this. One side is the Heirloom Salad Co and the other is the Java House. No big deal, but walking in and seeing a coffee house type menu and no salads or sandwiches left all 3 of us wondering what we did wrong. Again, online hours say the Heirloom Salad Co is open til 5pm, but when we walked in @ 230 pm, they said they close @ 3pm and that we'd have to eat in the Java area if we werent done by 3, since the Java House was open longer.
The Java side had no tables big enough open for 3 people. It was packed, but the salad company was empty, so we rushed to eat there. The soup was also almost gone, so they gave us slightly smaller portions, and offered extra crackers. Again no big deal, just wish we were given an options. Anyway the overall experience was decent. We were the only 3, so the atmosphere was quiet and calm. Giant windows let in natural light and they had cool photos on the walls. The Java area was really cool too, as far as the artwork and set up, but I suppose thats a different review.“

“My son and I had a delicious lunch at Chicken Salad Chick. The ambiance is very relaxing and the food is great. The customer service is above and beyond. I accidentally left my wallet at the restaurant. A member of their staff personally drove it to my house, without us asking, to return the wallet. I am so thankful for the above and beyond customer service!“

“Never been to a panera bread before and maybe it’s normal, but the butter was frozen lol. Couldn’t get it to spread, pretty annoying lol. Coffee was good though.

Kid-friendliness: Definitely kid friendly as it’s in the middle of a mall.“

“I’ve only been to Panera twice, and both times my order was messed up. What’s more frustrating is that when I called about it, the response felt careless—like they didn’t really care to make it right. I get that it’s not their money being spent, but I ordered the same thing twice and both times it was wrong. Disappointing experience overall“
