    The soups are ok, but I never really want more than one or two of them. It's nice that they let me taste, but nothing is ever SO DELICIOUS that I have to have it. Also, what's up with the prices? The small is so tiny and not worth the exorbitant amount they're charging. Finally, they've sent me away without a spoon before. Does eating soup without a spoon on a Metro-North train sound like fun to you? Because that's not my idea of a good ride.

    If there was a Hale and Hearty by my place I would probably go there often. But I would never go looking for one. I was at Grand Central and wondered around the food court looking for a small meal. I heard a lot of good things about Hale and Hearty so I decided to try it. There was line, not too long, but decent enough to let me know others enjoy Hale and Hearty. When getting soup, you can choose from oyster crackers or 7-grain bread. They have over 15 soups. Probably 7-10 everyday soups and the other few that are specials for the day. I got the three lentil chili. It was decent. It wasn't so good that I would get it again. I felt healthy after eating it. I got it with 7-grain bread. I was pretty full after eating it. I would go back to Hale and Hearty again, probably to try their other ones. But like I said, if it's conveniently near me, I'll go, but I won't spend time looking for one.

    I am a fan of soup, especially those that have a great variety of them. And Hale and Hearty does fit that mold. There are always great options to choose from, and I must give kudos to the chefs who comes up with some of the soups. Sandwiches there? Not a fan. The bread is usually too hard to bit through, so I usually stick with the soup. And the prices? Well, I know I am in NYC. But if for the price of a small soup here I can get a big plate of Chinese roast duck or pork across the street, it makes me think twice on the value. Oh and the Chinese place delivers, so it's perfect for the winter time. It's a good thing I do crave soup once in a while. And again, if it were not for the selection, I would not be visiting this place again!

    WOW! The soup here is amazingggggggg. BUT! also digs a hole in my wallet... The soups here have so much favor and broth in them. Soooo chunky and thick!! Of course... this place is super crowded during lunch hours.. but they also have a lot of workers here. So... there would be a wait.. but be patient. Its a wait for everyone else as well. Soups also comes with a big bag of mini crackers to dip the soups with. So that's fun.. take your time haha. To find a seat might also be a wait.. so I would recommend a friend ordering and a friend holding the seats until the foooooood arrives. Overall- happy stomach.

    Like all Hale & Heartys, this one is very popular around lunch time. However, its staff works very quickly, so the wait is never that long. I love this Hale & Hearty because it's right in beautiful Grand Central, so there is plenty of seating.

    Thanks to Eric K. for introducing me to H&H years ago. I come here 1-2x a week for lunch. The flavor selection is great , soups are filling and the sourdough bread is my favorite. Agree w/ other reviews on price, but apparently I keep coming back so whatever. Watch the nutritional information on these soups. Sure, that's a soup you just ordered, but guess what? Macaroni cheese bacon soup is going to be just as bad for you as macaroni and cheese with bacon. I like the spicy vegetarian soups and the cream of chicken with orzo and chicken if it's gloomy outside.

    I usually don't have anything bad to say about Hale & Hearty. I love this place because their soup always tastes great and their sandwich/salad and soup deal is unbeatable. Unfortunately, because there's a ton of these places within a 10 block radius, I wouldn't go to the GC location ever again. I'm not exactly sure, but I think they have much fewer selections than the regular brick-and-mortar stores. Of course, the soup tastes the same - which is what I usually aim for, but there just didn't seem to be as many sandwiches as I'd expected. Also, lining up is different from the stores and everyone seemed confused and piled up on top of each other. I guess the one good thing about eating in GC is the vast amount of seating they have, but even then - it may be hard to find a seat.

    The SO was having a bad cold/flu, so I did a quick search for any places with good soup in midtown. The list turned out to be quite short and I resigned myself to H&H in the food court (lower level) of Grand Central Station. I picked up a quart of chicken vegetable soup for about $12. Lots of shredded chicken pieces, some carrots and got some 5 grain bread to go with it. Soup was ok, nothing fantastic, wished it was a little more spicy/flavorful.

  • Stephanie N.

    I got there at 7pm which isn't even that late..but they had no chicken, turkey or tuna left! they didn't even mention it until after most of your salad was created so you couldn't walk away. most of the toppings weren't even fresh. long story short..i paid $10 for a salad with no protein and vegetables that tasted old.

    I really like the make-your-own salad option. I've eaten here numerous times and I typically have a great experience. H&H should feel lucky that I have eaten there enough that the past experience bumped up their star ranking tonight. I got caught in the office later than expected and in preparation for my hour-long train ride, I swung by H&H on my way out. Everything was moving along normally until the girl behind the bar struggled for several minutes to peel an unripe avocado out of its shell. She worked on it for over a minute. I tried to be helpful and suggested it wasn't ripe yet. She responded that it was fine, it just didn't want to get out of its shell. Really? The avocado was hard as a rock! She couldn't chop it at all unlike the rest of the salad. I guess that was a stroke of luck as I could fish out the large chunks of avocado later so I didn't risk ingesting it! I don't expect your staff to have a degree in agriculture. But don't try to pass off bad fruits and veggies as being 'fine'.

    I've eaten at Hale and Hearty many times at various locations, and most times I find their soup offerings quite delicious. This time I chose the three bean chili (which was actually quite nice) over rice. Cold Rice. COLD. I'm pulling their pants down on this one because cold rice is both unappealing and a real health hazard if not if not handled properly. Please don't make this my last time eating here H&H!

    I wish Hale & Hearty was in California. I basically eat here everyday when I'm in town for lunch. Eating a healthy soup + salad combo affords me the ability to indulge in a fabulous dinner lol. Not to mention that because I eat such a healthy (and I usually try to make it my main meal), I usually end up losing a few pounds! At this particular location, they are very speedy and have great attitudes, I guess they're used to the constant crowds.

    I love going here for lunch to get a build your own salad. Today, they even got me in early! Great place and excellent service...

    I love soup. This place has a lot of soup. The three times I've been here haven't disappointed me, except for how much change I got after handing over my ten dollar bill. (Inner monologue begins) Huh? The change is in ones? I don't get a five back? Oh, that's because it cost more than five bucks for the small soup. Okay... Wait, I got a small soup, not a kid's size. Oh, that IS the small size. Okay... Well, let's hope it taste good. It does. Whew. At least my mouth is satisfied. (Inner monologue ends) Seriously, I love the taste of these soups, especially their sweet corn chowder. But I only go here when I have a little extra cash in my pocket.

    I really like Hale and Hearty Soup at GCT- when I come to NYC on the Metro North it's nice to be able to get a fresh salad with ingredients that I want (there are good food options at GCT, but not many healthy ones) They have multiple low-fat and fat-free salad dressing options and they are all good. I usually get salad but I recently had the black lentil soup and that was very good as well. Fast service and friendly staff. I will definitely eat here again.

    It takes a lot to upset me. Really. I work with the public every day, a lot of times for very demanding clientele who fork over their hard earned money for my travel services. I'm a grin-and-bear-it, piss sunshine and poop rainbows kind of gal, so it strikes me odd that something as simple as a salad has seemingly got my goat. After a lovely evening in my former home (NYC), hitting up some of my old haunts, I begrudgingly made my way to Grand Central for the hour long train ride home. With forty minutes to kill before Metro North left the station, I set about finding myself something to eat. Grand Central has so many dining options in the lower concourse, and I took my time perusing them all, finally settling on H&H, as I found their 'make your own salad' offering attractive. Four bucks gets you the greens, with some 'freebies' of red onion, carrot or cucumber thrown in. I proceeded to add green peas, beets, cheddar cheese and their homemade ranch dressing. The service was a bit dour, and it appeared that the employees preferred to spend their time in the adjacent back room than out in the front helping customers. Halfway through the making of my salad, my lady tapped out and another one stepped up. All in, it came to over ten dollars. Despite the sticker shock and unpleasant service, I excitedly sat down at a nearby table, popped the clamshell and dug in. Nothing. It tasted like nothing at all. The vegetables had no taste, the ranch was bland and it had been chopped to a fine pulp. As I spooned it in I questioned myself; are my taste buds failing me? I pulled a mint from my bag to test them. No... it tasted minty. This salad had absolutely no redeeming qualities about it. Even the fine chop meant that I couldn't possibly write it off as ruffage. I felt silly for spending so much money on cheap ingredients with no payoff. As I tossed out the uneaten (ugh) item, I wrote it off as a lesson learned and found myself a Bomb-Ass falafel.

    My wife and I were here taking pictures and she got hungry. She has celiacs so we were trying to find some gluten free options for her. Hale and Hearty to the rescue. They have ingredients lists for their dressings and list whether they are gluten free or not. They use a clean bowl for every salad and put the mixture in a take away bowl with a lid that won't spill its contents if it gets tipped over. On a side note, we checked the soups after she had already ate and they have gluten free options for soups as well. When I peeked over the side a bit, I saw that they had the lids of the soups labeled if they were gluten free or not. Great place for gluten free options if you have celiacs or are gluten intolerant.

    I absolutely love the soup here. They always have a huge selection that rotates regularly. The best thing is that you can even sign up on line to receive email alerts about your favorite soups at your location of choice. That's so amazing, now I never have to miss the Moroccan Lentil soup. In addition to the soup there is also a premade sandwich selection (the Grand Central location doesn't have such great options) and make your own salad bar. Also, if you're a regular start the bean card to earn free soups.

  • Elizabeth M.

    I'm kind of torn about this place. Soup and salad shouldn't cost $12-$13. Ever since I was little, soup has always been my favorite thing to eat. I'm 29. I've consumed a LOT of soup in my lifetimes. This soup is just ok. Anything tomato based always tastes like it should come in a can with a spaghetti-o's label on it. The yucatan lime chicken whatever it's called is pretty bangin and you do get a 'hearty' bag of oyster crackers with your soup. Salad is just salad. Hard to mess it up especially since you're the one choosing the ingredients. Long story short, It's edible, I eat it a lot because I work upstairs and everything on Lexington Ave has gone out of business and one can only eat so much 99 cent pizza.

    My favorite Hale & Hearty Soup would have to be their shrimp bisque. Savory perfection in its highest incarnation. My first impression was, "whoa, nice shrimp flavor in the soup." The second surprise came as follows, "decent sized shrimp pieces in their soup." This place doesn't scrimp with their shrimp. Impressive. I enjoyed my on-the-go cup of soup (walkin' along, soupin' up), and before my third spoonful, I promptly double-tracked back to Hale's to pick up more soup so as to share this bliss with my roommates. Sidenote: this very soup inspired me at trying my hand at homemade shrimp bisque. Ladies, fyi, I've come very close with my homemade incarnation. Texas Beef Chili: It has certain sweetness to it. I had it with a dollop of rice, and the rice really brings out the best in this chili. There isn't a whole lotta beef in this chili. I would usually follow up the previous statement with some negative feedback. However, this chili has a lot of character. This chili could almost survive on it's own without the beef, almost. A poor old maid in the hale & hearty factory must have spent countless hours fine-tuning this wondrous chili. A flavorful chili that's full of mystifying depth isn't easy to concoct (refer to my chili listing for proof). However, Hale & Hearty's has a winner on their hands. New England Clam chowder: Telltale sign that a clam chowder was made from real clams = the distinctive crunch of authentic ocean sand. They threw a lot of ingredients into this chowder. The ingredients were married for such a long time that I couldn't distinct between the different flavors. That would be fine if the overall soup flavor was distinguished; it was not. I left wanting, and disappointed.

    $10 for a bowl of soup and bottle of water? Sorry folks, even if I found the golden ticket at the bottom of the cup, it ain't worth it! Bland soup to boot!

    Lookin for a place to grub at Grand Central Terminal, I noticed a HUGE LINE for this place. Its gotta be good right? Damn straight! I had the Chicken Tomato Florentine and it was yummmmmm! If I have anything negative to say, maybe the soup could have had a little more chicken. I had to ask for the cracker bag when it should have been provided automatically. But this wouldnt deter me from making another visit whie I'm here!

    I enjoy a good cup of soup once in a while. You know, it breaks up the sandwich/wrap monotony that inevitably associates itself with the work week. Soup, a more reasonably priced lunch alternative than the standard $10 fare in the midtown area. I was flabbergasted today when I went down 4 sets of escalators to get to this Hale & Hearty Soup stand location. I ordered the large black lentil soup with twice smoked bacon. I walk up to the register playing the Price-is-Right with myself in my head, thinking it's a large soup that downtown would cost 6 dollars, but in midtown should run me a maximum of $7. No way, Jose. $8.01. The last I checked this was just soup. This isn't black gold or oil. Then I start to think to myself, where do these people get the cuh-jonies (Americanized version of cajones) to charge such outrageous prices. Everything is so messed up in this Midtown world. There are no rules because half witted tourists will happily cough up this type of dough to write in their travel blogs that they had a healthy $10 soup in the bottom of the famed Grand Central Station. It's nobody's fault but my own for coming here. I will not make the mistake again. Wrong me once, and it's shame on you. Twice and it's shame on me. P.S. I'm still waiting to crap out some flecks of gold to, you know, recover some of the cost.

    I love Hale and Hearty! I am a huge soup person, so this is where I ate lunch almost everyday when I worked across the street. My favorite was the Vegetarian split pea (if only it was one of their regular soups!) and the 10 vegetable. The soups are quite salty, but not any more so than soups sold elsewhere. A pricey $5.50 for a small cup but you're in Midtown, what do you expect?

  • Farrah P.

    At your peril! I used to go here for lunch all the time for the choose-your-own chopped salad bar and sometimes the soups. But then, one day, my co-worker and I got salads from Hale and Hearty for lunch - and my friend bit straight into a huge rusty bolt hidden in the lettuce! Yes, a bolt of metal, possibly from some machine in the kitchen. She immediately notified Hale & Hearty and the manager could not have been more defensive/surly about it. After that incident, I still went to Hale & Hearty on limited occasions, but I started to notice a trend. One time, it was someone getting a refund for some unspecified reason. Another time, it was a woman bringing back a soup container and asking for the manager. This place seems to be quite the health hazard. If you go, hope they are having a good day.
