Best of the Souper Salads in the valley. Gotta get dat taco bar, son! There's plenty of buffet places but they're all so expensive I couldn't eat my moneys worth if I tried. You understand what I'm saying? I love soup. There's salad. Stay black NBC. Right, Gina Marooney?

I love this place. It was very clean and kid friendly. Showed up hungry, but not sure what I wanted, fortunately they had plenty of variety and everything I tried was great. Glad I stopped in and definitely plan to go back next time I am in the area.

I understand it's hard to run a cheaper buffet efficiently while maintaining a high sanitary level. However, I was definitely let down by this location. We went on a Sunday afternoon and almost all the tables were covered in dirty dishes and food was pressed into the floors. The utensils were falling into other dishes and some of the options weren't fully stocked. The service was very quick with out table in clearing empty plates and extremely cordial. Maybe they just need more staff for a Sunday after church lets out?

Came in today, Buffett was clean but no one came to the table to take our plates until about 30 seconds before we left, they ran out of spinach. Had to ask for it, same with pizza. See staff just standing around...plus the ice cream machine froze up and wouldn't work...lost 1 star. Like this place because it's close to where I live and pretty inexpensive but in general they need to step up their game...it's only a Tuesday!

This place has been around a long time. Everything is ok and on par with what I have come to expect here. That is the problem, everything is just ok. There is strong competition in the area that delivers more. It is time for this place to step up if they plan on being competitive. Other buffets in the area just offer way more options.

Summer R.
Not bad. The cashier was nice. Quick with our order. The place was clean and we'll stocked with food. We had several items that tasted very fresh. I did not care much for the mushroom soup. It was a little rich for my taste. The baked potatoes were good with all of the toppings they offer. People came by often and picked up or plates. I remember there being more items , when I was younger, but it was still good. Or maybe I'm thinking of sweet tomatoes.

Lorena V.
Food - ok. If you are looking to just build your own salad. One premixed option. Watery mac n cheese. Cheep tacobell tacos. The flavor is ok. The soup is not hot, like it should be. Ambient- the place would be nice, if they would clean up more frequently. Casual. Modern. Service- nonexistent. They take your money and off you go. They will occasionally come buy to pick up your plates. Asked one of the waiters there if they could reheat my soup because it eas cold. She said "I'm sorry, but we have no where to do that. We only have stoves." Price- 6.99 adult... + drink. I don't feel I got what I paid for.

The other day at gymnastics, the teacher asked all the kids about their favorite restaurants. Every kid said McDonalds - until mine. They both answered Souper Salad. It is a less fancy sweet tomatoes, and their soups are not nearly as good, but the price is unbeatable. They have regular coupons and on Wednesdays, kids eat for $2. The salad bar is pretty good and even has options that Sweet Tomatoes does not (like cottage cheese). The salad bar is always clean and stocked. The staff is always polite, friendly and remove our dishes promptly. The pizza runs out often but lately it has been replaced very timely (my daughter loves their pizza). They also sometimes have steamed broccoli with cheese, which is great for getting kids to eat vegetables. For dessert, they offer pound cake and strawberries for strawberry shortcake topped with soft serve ice cream. For $6 (the average coupon price), you walk out of there very full, content and with happy kids.

This establishment is everything you need! Ideal pricing for plentiful, well prepared food. Something in management must be right as it is always busy when I arrive. Sign of a good deal. I recommend the pizza, if that suits you. The options should meet anyone's wants and desires. Plenty of healthy food options are available as well as some short order items (tacos, potato bar) and soft serve ice cream. Smiling faces always greet you upon arrival, excellent service all around. Stop by their place!

This place is alright. The staff is friendly. It's nothing special, but then again it's a buffet. The food just wasn't that good. The salad bar toppings were fresh, but the lettuce / spring mix was very wilted. The pizza, mac n cheese, and tacos were horrible. It just tasted really cheap. Not that I expect the world from a buffet, but anything you could've made out of box at home would taste significantly better. The ice cream (or frozen yogurt) machine was out of service. That happens anywhere from time to time, so not really discounting the rating for that. On a bright note the strawberry short-cake was awesome, and the staff was very fast to clear the tables. All in all, I am sure I won't come back here for a long time. It's a great deal, but the compromise on the food wasn't at all worth it.

Ebony K.
Not a Sweet Tomatoes that's for sure. The selections are scarce and when you are use to all they have to offer at the Sweet Tomatoes, you are definitely disappointed when you see what they have to offer at this Souper Salad. In a pinch it would work, but you can definitely find something else better.

Phoenix N.
OK, so I had the $8.00 lunch. My first question was, what happened to these places??? Beyond the basic food, its filthy, food everywhere and the people, wow. I mean it looks like this is where obese people go to gorge. "Oh, have a pint of ice cream and sugar to wash down that salad" The lady in front of me was scooping some white-yellow pasta stuff out of the serving spoon with her fingers. The decor, whats with the baby shit green color and macro shots of tomatoes sweating? Tomatoes do not sweat. Oh and then some old lady in yoga pants. I mean, baggy yoga pants??? I had my salad and soup and left, the food was ok, but the patrons, leave you feeling no so good. So, if you want cheap nutrition and some OMG moments, go here.

I grew up going to a similar establishment in California called Souplantation, and Souper Salad is just as great. It's a bit rough around the edges but it does the job. I try to stay away from buffets these days but I have no guilt about stopping in here and pigging out on salads and soup. There's not much they can do wrong given the fact that they provide everything you need to make salads your way. They provide different greens, dressings and toppings for your salad. They have some pastas and pizzas for a little carb if you want. I'm not gonna lie, there are some opportunities for some unhealthy options too. They have a baked potato bar where you can put mounts of cheese, butter, bacon, sour cream, and more in a huge potato/sweet potato. I have also seen them have the make your own taco bar where I have been guilty of putting mas amounts of ground beef into a taco shell with limited amounts of lettuce and tomatoes aka just cheese and beef. I'm so glad that they are so cheap because it gives people a healthier alternative to fast food. With the nation's epidemic of being overweight and obese (especially in the low income population) it is necessary to have healthy options that are affordable to everyone. Souper salad costs just as much as fast food, maybe even less in some cases! Just as others have said, this a great place to eat after a hike or workout, because then you don't feel like you've made your workout worthless with an unhealthy meal.

Yes, this can be accurately described as a less refined Sweet Tomatoes; but the food, in my opinion, is quite delicious nonetheless. The salad bar is well stocked with a good variety of fresh veggies, toppings, and some tasty prepared offerings. I tried a few of their soups and they were all flavorful and had substance. My favorites were the pasta fagioli and vegetable soups. They also offer a selection of breads, nacho/taco fixings, baked potatoes, and some pasta but I didn't try any. The shortcake paired with strawberry topping was a fabulous dessert. The shortcake was moist and had a pretty light texture. Another plus...Fresca is a soda fountain option! Service was great. There were two servers who were taking care of the entire restaurant and they were way on top of clearing our dishes and both were super nice. The one downside is that the restaurant is kind of rundown looking inside and could use a little revamping.

Nick N.
I ate Saturday lunch here recently. My basic take-away from this experience is that this place is decent for the price. The service was attentive and efficient for a buffet, and the dining and buffet tables were clean. I thought the vege's on the salad bar were fresh, and the vegetable-beef soup was tasty. My sweet potato was a little soggy, but no big deal. Overall this is only a place to go for a simple green salad piled high with a side of soup; if you're hungry for anything else you're sure to be disappointed.

Andrea S.
I'm happy to report that the food here was fresh, abundant and varied. Often times with buffets you never know what you're going to walk in to. But I was pleasantly surprised and happy with the offerings. For about $16, my dad and I enjoyed the buffet and two drinks. We chowed down on salad, soup, pizza, tacos and dessert. Well not ALL of that, but those are the options available. What really makes this location special is Barbie. She walks around clearing plates and offering refills on soda and coffee. She is truly a sweet heart. Extemely friendly and outgoing. I would drive all the way to this location just to experience her kindness. She works on Tuesdays, FYI!

I'm either having major dejavu or I have already written a review for this SouperSalad. I live nearby and frequently shop at the Target, Fry's, or Ross in the same shopping center. Forget about your silly "my food can't touch" OCD and plop it all on the same plate. The salad bar is plentiful and the soup is warm and tasty. You can get pizza, bread, tacos, fried chicken, fruit and soft ice cream, to name just a few of the options. All you can eat plus a drink for under $10. Brian will take care of you. I'll be back!

Randy B.
Cheap and low-quality A decent selection at a fair price, but the quality is far less than Sweet Tomatoes. The salad bar wasn't kept fresh (wilted lettuce, low containers), the pizza was like a frozen type (crappy crust and sauce), greasy/oil atop of the meat for the tacos. I won't go on. On that note, it serves the purpose for a buffet - mass quantities for the masses. I will not go back. I would prefer to spend $3-4 extra dollars to go to Sweet Tomatoes any day.

I came to Souper Salad right after getting rejected by a closeby Quiznos that didn't accept my online coupon (a story I will write next). I asked them if they had any specials, and they offered a coupon for free drinks with no questions asked. I have been to Soupplantation/Sweet Tomatoes several times, so I was expecting something similar. I first came to the salad bar, and I noticed that there were a lot of variety of vegetables and even meats. At Sweet Tomatoes, you usually have to pay a little extra for chicken. The sides were pretty tasty too with 3 different kind of soups, pizza, pasta, and nachos. So far 3 good points to the meal, and then comes the extras. They had a cinnamon roll bread to die for. It tasted especially good with a little ice cream on top. I will pleasantly happy after a bad experience from Quiznos.

Rhombus A.
This is not Sweet Tomatos. That said, the actual salad bar makes me pretty darned happy. The soups are salty enough to cause a stroke and therefore completely inedible, the breads are junk, and the rest of the stuff is pure crap. 3 stars because the salad stuff is fresh and there's enough variety so that my salads never have to taste the same. Can't beat it for the price!! UPDATE: Sweet Tomatos has recently down graded their quality and now this place goes from 3 stars to 4!!!

Teresa S.
Agreeing with the last review,no this is not sweet tomatoes. However, it is also less expensive than S.T. Plus i had a coupon for here. It is still very good in their own way. They have a lot of salad options and you can make yourself a lovely salad. They do have soup and Tacos,along with potatoes and all sorts of bread. The food is good and there is plenty of desserts. My issue is with the cleanliness of it all. When i came in 3:04pm There were only a few people in the restaurant. However, many of the tables were dirty and full of dishes. When i did find an empty booth with no dishes i noticed it was still dirty. I wiped it off myself. That was i bit under standards. However, it was cheap and you usually get what you pay for.

I should have read all the reviews before sitting down to eat. Well it was 5:30pm on a Sat night so you would assume that everything would be fresh. Shame on me for assuming things. The soups were horrible and looked they had being sitting there all week. The pizza wasn't even pizza but crust with sauce on it. The iceberg lettuce was a mixture of lettuce with chunks not even cut up yet. I love Souplantation/ Sweet Tomatoes and I have high standards for anyone else tryiing to be a Salad Buffet. I would have given this place a half a star but the manager was nice enough to refund my money so it gets one star.

Not sure how to describe this place other than average in certain areas and below par in other areas. The salad section has all the usual ingredients and they were fresh and well-stocked right after the lunch rush. I could clearly make a great salad and they had fat-free dressings which is good for my health kick of late. Once you get beyond the salads, your kind of on your own with more misses than hits. The soups were unimpressive that day, sans for a semi-decent beef vegetable soup, but the rice in the chicken rice soup was way overcooked and mushy. Then you had all the salads that were loaded down with mayo - about five of them, none of which looked appetizing. Baked Potatoes, mac n chese, tacos, cracker pizza , all of these should be eaten at your own risk. Most of the bread didn't cut the mustard either, except for an average garlic breadstick. Desert was the usual stuff like jello and pudding and frozen ice cream? from the ole machine. At $6 with a coupon, there is nothing wrong with going here for a good salad, but beyond that, it seems like a crapshoot.

Tiana G.
All I gotta say is.... To-go Salad a la carte 4 buck and some change...get a container that's seriously big enough for enough salad to last me lunch and dinner. Good salad toppings and what not. I stick to the breadsticks...the rest of the breads a little dry.

Lynn W.
After a trip to Target, we were hungry so my daughter and I stopped in for some dinner here. She loves salad bars since she can pick out what she likes and just eat that. It was about 8pm on a week night so they were not busy. We were greeted warmly and paid then went to the salad bar. Things had not been restocked but that's ok, there was still plenty and it was good. They had some different salad....an oriental noodle one that I liked, and of course soup and bread. For dessert they had the soft serve ice cream that is so yummy and lots of toppings to go with it. The place was clean and the staff was nice. It's nothing outstanding but it was good and we were full. And it was fairly inexpensive too.

What are you in the mood for? I truly suggest this place if you're looking for grade D salad and such AND if you want to leave in a clinically depressed state of mind. Pros: All you can eat Cons: Why in the world would you want more than a bite????? Every different lettuce bowl contained gross amounts of browning greens. While the spinach looked and tasted fresh, the romaine was not, the parmesan was the kind that resembles anthrax or cocaine, the dressing was uber-salty and quite disgusting, the bacon bits contained no trace of pig, and there was no protein other than cubed ham to be found. While I can see how the entire soup/salad/pasta/fruit/pizza/ice cream/tacos? package might be worth $7 and change, this was a horrible buy for a person looking for a salad with some ample protein. When your name contains the word "salad," don't you think you should offer some good greens?

If you like buffets with ONLY Salad or Soup, some little entrees such as pizza or tacos, then for the price you can't go wrong with Souper Salad. On a Sunday night we paid $5.99 per plate, $2 for a drink. A decent variety, again if salad is your thing. I was expecting a bit more of a selection when it came to the pasta plates tho. I believe years ago it did have more casseroles and potato salads. Other than the ice cream machine being down, this is a decent place to stop and fill-up for a reasonable price.
(3)
Sol T.
Ladies and gentlemen, we are not talking about a souper elegant fine dining experience. This is a salad buffet at a very reasonable price. For the price of a burger meal, you can load up your plate with whichever veggies you like, a choice of soups, and a few other "things". The veggies are generally very crisp and fresh, good variety, and decent dressing. I enjoy it very much. I like a good salad, and I guess I build them pretty well. Good choices, clean, decent all around. I can eat healthy and enjoy it... I'm sold.

Erin G.
I can't make any arguments for atmosphere, nor would I compare this to a J Alexanders or other higher-level chain, but I got a decent lunch here for $7. I try not to eat salads in public because it is a frightening site; i basically fill a bucket with salad ingredients and stick my face in. Only my closest friends and relatives have seen me eat a real salad. god help them. Anyway, I tried not to be a complete disaster at Souper Salad, but it was hard. The salad bar is pretty extensive with vegetarian friendly garbanzo beans and just about every vegetable i've ever seen. (ooh they didn't have jicama, and they should.) After I piled up a plate of leafy and non leafy greens I headed to the soup area where Souper Salad very responsibly lists all the ingredients in their soups, especially noting the vegetarian friendly options. I went for the lentil soup and was not disappointed. some lentil soups are no more than lentils floating in warm water, but this was flavorful. There are also hot baked potatoes, macaroni and cheese and other homey food offerings for Souper Salad diners. I made off with a tiny cheese roll. There are also some dessert options like soft serve ice cream or chocolate pudding and fresh fruit. Nothing wrong with that!

Kristy R.
This salad bar restaurant is okay. I can't even stress to people enough though that this is on the polar opposite end of Sweet Tomatoes both in quality of food and selection and they are about the same price. The selection here is a lot smaller and you can tell that the quality of produce isn't as high. Also, the bread selection looks like something that they just pulled out of the freezer. I will eat here on occasion with colleagues if we really want a salad bar lunch.

Souper F-ing good!! This place was simply a surprise! We've been to buffets but this one was really good! huge salad on my side and then there is pizza and soups and tacos and pasta and baked potatoes! I usually eat my weight there. I suggest you go there and try.

Will M.
Generally speaking, I'm a fan of Souper Salad. This location is basically just like all the other locations; the food is consistent, the restaurant is clean, the staff is relatively efficient. However, It still lacks something. Everyone here seemed so dispassionate, they were never rude; It just felt like none of the staff wanted to be there.

I love going here for lunch. The choices are great and the price is so reasonable! I especially love their breadsticks! They have the BEST soup options too everyday.

Overall this is only a place to go for a simple green salad piled high with a side of soup; if you're hungry for anything else you're sure to be disappointed.

I'm happy to report that the food here was fresh, abundant and varied. Often times with buffets you never know what you're going to walk in to. But I was pleasantly surprised and happy with the offerings. For about $16, my dad and I enjoyed the buffet and two drinks. We chowed down on salad, soup, pizza, tacos and dessert. Well not ALL of that, but those are the options available. What really makes this location special is Barbie. She walks around clearing plates and offering refills on soda and coffee. She is truly a sweet heart. Extemely friendly and outgoing. I would drive all the way to this location just to experience her kindness. She works on Tuesdays, FYI!

I'm either having major dejavu or I have already written a review for this SouperSalad. I live nearby and frequently shop at the Target, Fry's, or Ross in the same shopping center. Forget about your silly "my food can't touch" OCD and plop it all on the same plate. The salad bar is plentiful and the soup is warm and tasty. You can get pizza, bread, tacos, fried chicken, fruit and soft ice cream, to name just a few of the options. All you can eat plus a drink for under $10. Brian will take care of you. I'll be back!

Cheap and low-quality A decent selection at a fair price, but the quality is far less than Sweet Tomatoes. The salad bar wasn't kept fresh (wilted lettuce, low containers), the pizza was like a frozen type (crappy crust and sauce), greasy/oil atop of the meat for the tacos. I won't go on. On that note, it serves the purpose for a buffet - mass quantities for the masses. I will not go back. I would prefer to spend $3-4 extra dollars to go to Sweet Tomatoes any day.

I came to Souper Salad right after getting rejected by a closeby Quiznos that didn't accept my online coupon (a story I will write next). I asked them if they had any specials, and they offered a coupon for free drinks with no questions asked. I have been to Soupplantation/Sweet Tomatoes several times, so I was expecting something similar. I first came to the salad bar, and I noticed that there were a lot of variety of vegetables and even meats. At Sweet Tomatoes, you usually have to pay a little extra for chicken. The sides were pretty tasty too with 3 different kind of soups, pizza, pasta, and nachos. So far 3 good points to the meal, and then comes the extras. They had a cinnamon roll bread to die for. It tasted especially good with a little ice cream on top. I will pleasantly happy after a bad experience from Quiznos.

Great place to eat. I enjoy going here. Cheap and always decent food. The only thing it needs is to change up the selection once in a while.

This is not Sweet Tomatos. That said, the actual salad bar makes me pretty darned happy. The soups are salty enough to cause a stroke and therefore completely inedible, the breads are junk, and the rest of the stuff is pure crap. 3 stars because the salad stuff is fresh and there's enough variety so that my salads never have to taste the same. Can't beat it for the price!! UPDATE: Sweet Tomatos has recently down graded their quality and now this place goes from 3 stars to 4!!!

Agreeing with the last review,no this is not sweet tomatoes. However, it is also less expensive than S.T. Plus i had a coupon for here. It is still very good in their own way. They have a lot of salad options and you can make yourself a lovely salad. They do have soup and Tacos,along with potatoes and all sorts of bread. The food is good and there is plenty of desserts. My issue is with the cleanliness of it all. When i came in 3:04pm There were only a few people in the restaurant. However, many of the tables were dirty and full of dishes. When i did find an empty booth with no dishes i noticed it was still dirty. I wiped it off myself. That was i bit under standards. However, it was cheap and you usually get what you pay for.

I should have read all the reviews before sitting down to eat. Well it was 5:30pm on a Sat night so you would assume that everything would be fresh. Shame on me for assuming things. The soups were horrible and looked they had being sitting there all week. The pizza wasn't even pizza but crust with sauce on it. The iceberg lettuce was a mixture of lettuce with chunks not even cut up yet. I love Souplantation/ Sweet Tomatoes and I have high standards for anyone else tryiing to be a Salad Buffet. I would have given this place a half a star but the manager was nice enough to refund my money so it gets one star.

Not sure how to describe this place other than average in certain areas and below par in other areas. The salad section has all the usual ingredients and they were fresh and well-stocked right after the lunch rush. I could clearly make a great salad and they had fat-free dressings which is good for my health kick of late. Once you get beyond the salads, your kind of on your own with more misses than hits. The soups were unimpressive that day, sans for a semi-decent beef vegetable soup, but the rice in the chicken rice soup was way overcooked and mushy. Then you had all the salads that were loaded down with mayo - about five of them, none of which looked appetizing. Baked Potatoes, mac n chese, tacos, cracker pizza , all of these should be eaten at your own risk. Most of the bread didn't cut the mustard either, except for an average garlic breadstick. Desert was the usual stuff like jello and pudding and frozen ice cream? from the ole machine. At $6 with a coupon, there is nothing wrong with going here for a good salad, but beyond that, it seems like a crapshoot.

All I gotta say is.... To-go Salad a la carte 4 buck and some change...get a container that's seriously big enough for enough salad to last me lunch and dinner. Good salad toppings and what not. I stick to the breadsticks...the rest of the breads a little dry.

After a trip to Target, we were hungry so my daughter and I stopped in for some dinner here. She loves salad bars since she can pick out what she likes and just eat that. It was about 8pm on a week night so they were not busy. We were greeted warmly and paid then went to the salad bar. Things had not been restocked but that's ok, there was still plenty and it was good. They had some different salad....an oriental noodle one that I liked, and of course soup and bread. For dessert they had the soft serve ice cream that is so yummy and lots of toppings to go with it. The place was clean and the staff was nice. It's nothing outstanding but it was good and we were full. And it was fairly inexpensive too.

What are you in the mood for? I truly suggest this place if you're looking for grade D salad and such AND if you want to leave in a clinically depressed state of mind. Pros: All you can eat Cons: Why in the world would you want more than a bite????? Every different lettuce bowl contained gross amounts of browning greens. While the spinach looked and tasted fresh, the romaine was not, the parmesan was the kind that resembles anthrax or cocaine, the dressing was uber-salty and quite disgusting, the bacon bits contained no trace of pig, and there was no protein other than cubed ham to be found. While I can see how the entire soup/salad/pasta/fruit/pizza/ice cream/tacos? package might be worth $7 and change, this was a horrible buy for a person looking for a salad with some ample protein. When your name contains the word "salad," don't you think you should offer some good greens?

If you like buffets with ONLY Salad or Soup, some little entrees such as pizza or tacos, then for the price you can't go wrong with Souper Salad. On a Sunday night we paid $5.99 per plate, $2 for a drink. A decent variety, again if salad is your thing. I was expecting a bit more of a selection when it came to the pasta plates tho. I believe years ago it did have more casseroles and potato salads. Other than the ice cream machine being down, this is a decent place to stop and fill-up for a reasonable price.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are not talking about a souper elegant fine dining experience. This is a salad buffet at a very reasonable price. For the price of a burger meal, you can load up your plate with whichever veggies you like, a choice of soups, and a few other "things". The veggies are generally very crisp and fresh, good variety, and decent dressing. I enjoy it very much. I like a good salad, and I guess I build them pretty well. Good choices, clean, decent all around. I can eat healthy and enjoy it... I'm sold.

I can't make any arguments for atmosphere, nor would I compare this to a J Alexanders or other higher-level chain, but I got a decent lunch here for $7. I try not to eat salads in public because it is a frightening site; i basically fill a bucket with salad ingredients and stick my face in. Only my closest friends and relatives have seen me eat a real salad. god help them. Anyway, I tried not to be a complete disaster at Souper Salad, but it was hard. The salad bar is pretty extensive with vegetarian friendly garbanzo beans and just about every vegetable i've ever seen. (ooh they didn't have jicama, and they should.) After I piled up a plate of leafy and non leafy greens I headed to the soup area where Souper Salad very responsibly lists all the ingredients in their soups, especially noting the vegetarian friendly options. I went for the lentil soup and was not disappointed. some lentil soups are no more than lentils floating in warm water, but this was flavorful. There are also hot baked potatoes, macaroni and cheese and other homey food offerings for Souper Salad diners. I made off with a tiny cheese roll. There are also some dessert options like soft serve ice cream or chocolate pudding and fresh fruit. Nothing wrong with that!

This salad bar restaurant is okay. I can't even stress to people enough though that this is on the polar opposite end of Sweet Tomatoes both in quality of food and selection and they are about the same price. The selection here is a lot smaller and you can tell that the quality of produce isn't as high. Also, the bread selection looks like something that they just pulled out of the freezer. I will eat here on occasion with colleagues if we really want a salad bar lunch.

Souper F-ing good!! This place was simply a surprise! We've been to buffets but this one was really good! huge salad on my side and then there is pizza and soups and tacos and pasta and baked potatoes! I usually eat my weight there. I suggest you go there and try.
(5)Will M.
Generally speaking, I'm a fan of Souper Salad. This location is basically just like all the other locations; the food is consistent, the restaurant is clean, the staff is relatively efficient. However, It still lacks something. Everyone here seemed so dispassionate, they were never rude; It just felt like none of the staff wanted to be there.

I love going here for lunch. The choices are great and the price is so reasonable! I especially love their breadsticks! They have the BEST soup options too everyday.
