18 Best Soup in Grand Rapids

“I have been a loyal and happy customer for 15 plus years, hear that, more than fifteen years! And to learn that these B’s have been holding out on me. The absolute nerve! They have been holding out on the carrot cake… keeping it hidden somewhere… away from me! It’s !&$/“?> garbage. I am warning ya’ll right now DO NOT get the carrot cake, you might die of happiness. Heaven on earth right there it is. Here I thought that pie company or the round cake place had the best. No. Just fricken no. This gooey glorious deliciousness. I’m telling ya. You know the worst part!?! They could totally have itty bitty toothpick sample bites and let us know! But NO. It’s like some top secret sauce for their keeping. Ridiculous! I will have you know that my Birthday is coming up and you BETTER save me a piece. The nerve!!! FIFTEEN years! I feel like someone owes me an apology! 5 stars I would share a picture but I ate it all. And than licked the carry out box. Don’t you dare judge me!“

“Best place for subs ! Fresh sliced an dressed . Fresh made bread, friendly staff as well!! Today I had Lisa , and Darin , I believe. But they are all awesome!! Ty“

“Just visited the new fort Gratiot location, it's really good. Staff are super friendly and the only is super kind. Will be back soon. Jared and the other staff were phenomenal.“

“Have not been to Zoup for years but it is one of the closest spots to my office. It looks like their menu offerings have increased but the prices do not seem appropriate for what you get. I got a semi air toasted but not grilled cheese/tomato sandwich that was pretty disappointing. And a cup of cauliflower soup that was ok tasting. Not worth $15.50 with no drink. Friendly staff and prompt ordering though.“

“Fantastic food! Slightly expensive but the soup was homemade. Thick and a bit chunky but in a good way. I loved it. Had the butternut bisque and a ham and cheese sandwhich. The pineapple lemonade also slaps. The interior is loud and bright for the decor theme but we ate outside at the patio tables. The menu was hard to look at with the bright lights reflecting on it so it was a bit overwhelming.“

“I’ve visited this location a few times in the past month after not been to an Olive Garden in years. Both dining experiences here I’ve had incredible service … better than some places we’ve spent 200+ dollars at for a “fine” dining experience. Food is tasty & consistent. All of the staff were friendly & professional and the whole restaurant was spotless. Way to go OG!!“

“Ok now this place is run by the kindest most genuine couple ever. There food is incredible. All home made. I’m literally addicted to their Cuban black bean salad and their cucumber salad is amazing. Not to the sweet pepper coleslaw. I’m such a big fan. Support local. Eat healthy and they have a huge selection of entrees to take home. All unbelievably tasty and healthy. 👍🏼😊💙“

“I like the smaller diner style restaurants, the food is always good. Here was no exception, even my plate was hot lol. Nice sized portion, I took maybe a 3rd home with me. The ladies working the floor had good energy, you can tell they work together often.“

“So for a place that doesn’t seem to advertise, a small spot thats attached to a grocery store, several other restaurants and in a neighborhood with many other options, I was glad to have stopped in. Service was friendly and quick, so many options but my group settled on several different options. Everything was delicious, rich, flavorful and what seems very fresh. This could be my new spot for Pho or a soup day meal. The rice and shrimp were cooked well. Great place to stop and try if you like Vietnamese.“

“Was a little wait, But it was to be expected. A nice day, on a Friday afternoon. waiter was nice kind friendly and very knowledgeable. Very sociable, but not in unprofessional mano. Understanding that he was working to be working. Not like so many younger people today.“

“I rolled in two minutes before they closed, the guy behind the counter was super kind and did not make me feel rushed at all. Got half a BLT and ate it there, again no sense of rushing me out. Great food, great service, saved my life needing a quick snack before court next door!“

“This is a really good Chinese restaurant! The staff was kind and courteous, preparing food in a very timely manner. I've been looking for a new Chinese food place to frequent and I think I may have found it in this cute little place! Highly highly recommend!“

“They are my # 1 go to place for Chinese food, we have been going to this restaurant for about 18 years now. They give u so much food when you order whatever my favorites are the orange chicken combination, or beef or pork lomein, sweet and sour chicken combination, beef and broccoli comb, Mongolian beef combo, these are some of our favorites but try whatever and I promise you will not be disappointed. Yes the prices have increased because of the inflation of everything going up of course but they didn't go up that much like 2-3 bucks more. But for all the food you get it's definitely worth it. Hell I even have food left over for the next day. Definitely give them a try you won't be disappointed. The family that owns the place are really super sweet, very good folks.“

“I came in today and got a window seat to enjoy a cup of coffee. This location is so noisy, and the speaker right above me was blaring music at about 74 decibels. I don't think the employees in the back are aware of how loud the sound is when you are sitting underneath the speakers. I am having to leave because the volume was a serious annoyance. I asked twice for them to turn it down, and it's still just as loud: 74 decibels. Hearing loss starts at 75 decibels. Since the pandemic all restaurant have been playing music way too loud. 55-60 decibels is plenty loud enough for background music. Background music should be exactly that, background.“

“So this review is just for take out, I've never eaten in. I've been satisfied with everything I've ordered. Chinese food is hard to review, because everyone has their preference. But I've ordered Chinese food from restaurants that cost twice as much, and tasted the same or worse. I was bummed that China Garden didn't have teriyaki chicken. But their BBQ chicken (I just like saying "chicken on a stick") is so crispy in a good way, that I want all my "chicken on a stick" to be like theirs! Also, they were open in a massive, everyone shut down everything, snow storm. So, I'll drive out of my way to go here.“

“Friendly atomsphere good food“

“This review is about the food and service, not a lot of bells and whistles as far as atmosphere goes, but the food and service have been great! Try the shrimp toast, you won't be disappointed (hard to find these days in MI)! This is not a buffet.“
