5 Best Soup in Johnson City

“Ashley is fantastic!!! Very efficient, very nice and respectful, thankful and on top of EVERYTHING!“

“Delicious.. sandwich salad deserts quiche ice tea… everything. Service is excellent and friendly. Lovely atmosphere.“

“Well now, I reckon I oughta begin by sayin’ that when a man’s been drivin’ clear across this grand nation with three rambunctious young’uns in the back hollerin’ over who touched whose elbow, and a wife growlin’ about the gas station beans in Arkansas, a good taco can feel like salvation in tortilla form. That’s precisely the brand of miracle we found at a little joint by the name of White Duck Taco Shop.

Now don’t let the name fool you — ain’t no duck with an apron waddlin’ around servin’ you, though I admit I wouldn’t’ve minded that one bit. What is there is a menu that reads like a travelogue written by a hungry pirate. Chicken tikka masala tacos? Shrimp po’boy? Steak-and-cheese that’d make a Philly boy cry into his soft pretzel? Lord have mercy, even the duck taco had me questionin’ the moral uprightness of poultry.

My wife, who has developed a sort of holy reverence for legumes, declared — between bites and narrowed eyes — that the beans were transcendent. And let me tell you, when a woman uses that word for food, you better believe angels are somewhere singin’.

It’s the kind of place where kids get quiet — not from threat or bribe — but from sheer chew-induced bliss. A rare and blessed silence. For that alone, I’d’ve given ‘em a medal.

So if you find yourself somewhere between Where-the-Hell-Are-We and the Eastern Seaboard, do yourself the decency of stopping at White Duck Taco. It’s a fine respite for the weary traveler, the picky child, and the wife who’s done enough car parenting to deserve beans that move the soul.“

“Some of the best Chinese food in JC. Very reasonable prices. Really good for take out. Interior is not fancy, but I go for the food not the decor.“

“Panera Bread is always a great experience. Their soups are fantastic, and the fire side chili is my go-to. I try to limit carbs, but their bread is so good it’s hard to resist. The staff are always friendly, and the food quality and taste are consistently excellent. They’ve definitely earned my repeat business.“
