19 Best Soup in Madison

“everything was amazing. the spices, the flavors, and the iced coffee... next level. it will not disappoint.“

“FIVE STARS FOR FANNIE (FANNY?)!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ best ever“

“Overall the cuisine is excellent! Staff is friendly and the restaurant has a wonderful vibe. Indoor and outdoor dining is available. This is our go to restaurant in Madison.“

“look at the picture of the BBQ Brisket sandwich and then order one and see what it looks like 🤣🤣🤣 pathetic portions. I was so ready to devour a giant sandwich, this thing ended up being so tiny. also y'all gave me the wrong lettuce“

“Great place for hearty and comforting, delicious noodle soups! The service is fast and you get a large portion of the soup with lots of protein hard to finish in one go. We had the rice noodle soup with bang bang chicken (hot, beware) and coconut red curry flavored rice noodle soup (mild, easy). Both had excellent comforting flavors with a good heat. Will highly recommend, especially during winters!“

“Older, small place that was a little rundown. Kitchen must have been slammed by carry out / ride share orders because about 20 orders came out while we were waiting for our food. Pho was a little sweet but a giant portion for the regular size. Vermicelli lemongrass chicken was very good. Good but not great. Parking was very difficult.“

“First of all, the most amazing customer service I've ever had. The food is perfectly seasoned, very flavorful and so good I couldn't stop licking my lips. All is made with the hands of God(I'm serious, I swear I saw the lord).“

“I totally love the Singapore Mei fun! The BEST I've ever had. Great service and polite staff. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Brian was such an excellent server! He was slammed with four tables all at once and made it work. He was super friendly and attentive.
The restaurant itself was a clean Olive Garden and either we were super hungry and that made it taste even better than the typical Olive Garden or this location just had really flavors. We did the typical soups and salads- soups were hot and tasted fresh!“

“An Olive Garden with attentive servers.

Food is what you expect from any other Olive Garden. This is a large location. One drawback, we arrived near 9pm and instead of utilizing the entire restaurant space, the hostess guided us to only one side. We asked for an area away from other patrons to enjoy our dinner. Not sure why restaurants do this but it feels a bit like herding cattle in over direction for the sake of keeping the cleaning in one area.

Our server William was very kind and funny. He provided suggestions for food and beverage choices.

Food tasted good and as you would expect. The sauce used in the lasagna is a basic marinara sauce with a few chuncks of tomatoes yet a bit on the watery side. The Alfredo sauce I heard was good and thick. The paired wine Merlot was ok.“

“I’ve always loved Muramoto! Can’t go wrong for fantastic sushi!“

“Wow - what a pleasant dining option at the Memorial Union! It offers both made to order sandwiches and salads as well as grab and go items. I was totally impressed with the quinoa black salad I ordered for lunch - excellent mix of textures and the flavors of the components complimented each other. There are no tables at Carte to dine-in, but its not difficult to find a table elsewhere in the Union (Strada, the Rathskeller, the Terrace).“

“Muy buena comida y atención !!!“

“Came here after about 5 years, if you want good food freshly prepared by the owners who are extremely hard-working, you need to come here. I have been eating here for at least 7 years and the food quality has been amazing. They are no frills, hard-working people who make excellent food.“

“I love this place. Dumplings are good, noodles are good and the buns are good. Ive only gone a couple of times, and only when I have the money since its a bit pricey, but it if def worth it. It tastes really good and you get a good amount of food.“

“The staff and managers at this location truly go above and beyond the call of duty. They treat every customer with care and respect. While I mostly go there for the amazing deal on the Unlimited sip, I see people enjoy their meals, chatting, laughing, and even crying. The staff is there for it all. They would literally be a shoulder cry on if someone needed it. And that makes a huge difference in people’s lives. 10 out of 5 stars! Shoutout to manager Corky!“

“Outstanding service and food. Matti was exceptional. He observed from my hat that I was a veteran.and thanked me for my service. We are from out of town but will make a point to return. Thank you Panera breads and Matti you made our day.“

“I love panera bread the sandwiches is good“

“Excellent customer service experience with them today; they corrected a mistake that WASN'T EVEN THEIR FAULT!!!

DoorDash delivery driver picked up my order, then STOPPED - a few blocks away, for >20 min (I'm 12 min from the Panera....).

Seeing the delay in my delivery time I called the driver, who was rude and admitted he was stopped because he was "waiting to pick up a friend from work". When I responded to ask if he legit stopped, after picking up my food, he yelled back at me "what do you f'ing want to do about it?!"

At that point, the order was on track to be in the driver's car >40 min, so the hot food would be cold and nasty, AND, I was worried he would tamper or mess with our food out of spite.

I called the Panera directly and talked with Paul (or Paulo?), who was the manager, and he apologized for the botched delivery, cancelled the order, and immediately had a new one made up and sent out (with a new driver). He called DoorDash on my behalf and gave me their number to file a report for this driver.

Replacement order was fast & fresh.

AND - the DoorDash rep confirmed that drivers are NOT supposed to stop after picking up food deliveries to run errands, etc. LOL

Give this place a try, and don't be afraid to advocate for yourself if you have a mistake in your order (vs. just ranting in a review). They genuinely wanted to make things right, and they did.“
