Soups On

yeah, they seem to stay fairly busy. in riverside, we pay good money for hope. i've been to brick around ten times, each time I hope that the food will be up to par with the feel of the avondale shops. It's not.

Yup, sounds about right Re: Brick.

Has Soups On won anyone over? The general reactions I am receiving is "what ev..." Only one person I know "loves it!!!"

Wouldn't go there again if you paid me. Two times I've been were terrrrrible. Nobody I've ever asked has said they've liked it. YET, every time I walk by, somebody is paying for that flavorless water stuff they call soup. Odd.

A friend of mine loves it, and one of his co-workers goes over there just about every day.

I didn't try any because I can't let myself pay nine bucks for soup and a sandwich......

Think about the Brick, what has really changed since it opened? Same art, same booths, same layout, they did add some water fans for when its hot outside, but really not much has changed, same 2 drafts of beer, a few items on the menu, but pretty much the same old same old. Shows how well consistent, boring works in Jacksonville. Ginjo Sushi was great when the wife and I went there Saturday night!

Back to the thread, I saw tables outside on Saturday at Soups On, which is great for Park and King. I hope they do well.

I also like it a lot & go at least once a week. Lately though their soup selections have been either kinda "meh" or just plain weird. But thats the thing. You have to pay attention to their soup selections each day (on their website) & go when they've got something you might like. As far as the sandwiches, I always stick with either the Turkey & Jarlsberg or the Roast Beef. Get those with some chickpea, tomato, pea, or some kind of lentil based soups & its great.

Anyways, I think its a good get in get out place with fair prices & consistent quality.
