Okay so here’s the thing at this particular spot.

The staff is actually trying so hard to make things easy. It’s the patrons that complicate things.

It’s takes an average of about 15-20 minutes just to put your order in during the rush.

Now, no kidding, this is some of the comfort food in town. Worth every moment.

But these folks need a different system. Waiting 20 minutes to order a sandwich and two ladles is soup is a reflection of pace set in this spot.

Bottom line… amazing food. Worth the wait, but don’t be in a hurry.

Soups hot and delicious. Sandwiches are also worth the stop. Service is really fast. Seating and parking are both limited during lunch. This place gets busy. Don't let a line scare you off they get to people really quickly and Seating opens up quickly.

Soup was broth with a few beans. $ 6.00+ is too much for a bowl of broth.
Also paid $9.99 for a sandwich: chicken bacon ranch and it was tough and dry.

I called them and was told I would be contacted but haven’t heard anything.

I only wanted to stop by to grab some chicken noodle soup for some of our dearest friends... Monica really helped us out and clearly defined what a true soul does in the hospitality industry. I've always known The Soup Kitchen to be top notch... the only way to get there is by the people working there. THANK you all, and know that I'll always recommend the goodness served at The Soup Kitchen. Kudos!!!

This is such a great place! I come here almost every Wednesday with my friends, and the staff is so polite! Everything they have is good, and it’s a cheap option for food! If you come here often enough, you get a preferred customer card. Everyone is so polite, don’t be afraid to ask for samples! Thank you so much Soup Kitchen!!

I do love this place! We eat there a lot since it's close to my work but here lately it's hard to eat their food because there's so much black pepper in everything. I got the potato soup a few weeks ago and it was hard to eat due to the amount of pepper. Today I got the chili and it's loaded with pepper too. Please take the pepper away from the person that makes the soups. Also, I have noticed some bad attitudes from the staff. Not very friendly at all. Makes me wonder if this establishment is owned by northerners because northerners are the rudest of all! We'll be back but we won't be ordering anymore soup
