14 Best Soup in Lexington

“Took my son there today because we had been dying to try this place. He got the "Rushmore" and I got the "Reuben" for myself and one to go for my daughter. Sandwiches were really delicious and reasonably priced. They had a huge crowd and we still got served our food extremely quickly. This place is not only awesome, but local. You are truly missing out if you don't go. We didn't even try the loaded potato soup, which looked delicious as well.“

“The soup and sandwiches are wonderful! Can't wait to go back and try more things!“

“This Olive Garden is always our go to! Fantastic service as always. We had Riley as our server and he was great and super friendly and fast with anything we needed. Food always comes out fresh and hot and the building is especially beautiful. Go give this one a try when you can! We had the new creamy mushroom ravioli and the small portion fettuccine Alfredo with added shrimp.“

“We visited on Saturday, July 11th, around 4:40 p.m. We ended up giving a high rating because, while our experience didn’t start well, the way the staff handled the situation was outstanding.

We waited about 10 minutes after being seated, and no one came to our table. I eventually got up and asked if anyone was working our section. A few moments later, our waitress came over and sincerely apologized. She explained that she hadn’t seen us from where we were seated. We completely understood, smiled, and let her know we figured that was the case. From that point forward, she provided excellent service, and we never had to ask for anything.

What really stood out was Brad Webb the manager. He came to our table with a genuine, heartfelt apology, took full ownership of what had happened, and even provided us with a gift card. His response demonstrated true leadership and a commitment to customer satisfaction.

As a Customer Success Manager myself, I believe exceptional customer service isn’t about never making a mistake—it’s about how you respond when one happens. Brad paid attention, took ownership, and made things right. That level of care is exactly what creates loyal customers.

Thank you, Brad and the team, for turning our experience around.“

“The most delicious fresh salads made to your liking! I’ve been here 5 times now and never had a bad meal or experience!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 5 hearts“

“My three daughters and I ate at Smashing Tomato last night and as usual the food was absolutely amazing and the service was outstanding. We’re so lucky to have real Neapolitan pizza restaurant in Lex.“

“Our favorite restaurant for the last 30 years!! We could eat Jalapeños every day!“

“One team member said: "We tried BD's Mongolian Grill for the first time this weekend and it was such a fun lunch spot! You can build your own bowl and they have so many great options! Once you've selected your meal, you get to watch them cook it in front of you. The food was amazing and the service was also amazing! This is a must-try spot in Hamburg!"“

“I live in the Hamburg area of Lexington, KY. Shanghai Bistro is not far from where I live and I eat there 1-2 times a week. I order the same meal every time: fried rice, broccoli and spring roll. I never wait long for my meal to arrive.The food is fresh and consistently excellent. The atmosphere is relaxed. I don’t feel rushed to eat and leave. I highly recommend trying Shanghai Bistro. Depending on the time of day you are there parking can be tight (there are several restaurants in the area). Mine is not a paid testimonial. Laura Hill (1/15/2026)“

“This is the best Thai food I’ve had in the United States. It’s authentic, flavorful, uses quality ingredients, and is presented beautifully. The restaurant is small, but immaculate and tastefully decorated.“

“I have been going to this restaurant for over 5 years and I STILL LOVE IT!! I enjoy my experience every time I come here; service is professional, they conversate with you, and make sure they got your order right to the T! More visits to come, definitely!!“

“For the past five months or so, I have taken a liking to this Panera. It provides a cozy atmosphere, like many Panera(s), for a pre-brunch morning escape. And, unlike any other times when I use to frequent any Panera, I find the food here to be surprisingly delicious, satisfying, and all at a reasonable price.

However, there are often long waiting-periods for food, especially for dine-in services. And I've noticed frequent blunders with guest's orders when traffic picks up.

Also, there is one manager/lead/supervisor, particularly a tall woman who, at least to me, comes across as rude and unwelcoming. I kind of dread when she's there.“

“I had almost forgotten this good place to have a good meal at a reasonable price. Salads and soups for lunch. My favorite thing was that they have Caffeine Free Diet Pepsi, a rarity in most restaurants. 😎❤️🇺🇸“

“Definitely will be back soon“
