Over priced for quality of food. Mgr or owner was not personable and didn't even bother to make any friendly friendly comment when delivering order. Put soup on table and just walked off. Really? This was a quiet day and you can't listen to the sign by the register. "Be nice or leave."

The food was pretty good, but way over-priced. The woman behind the counter that helped us looked like the manager or owner and she was not very nice. Ironically, she had a sign by the cash register that says "Be nice or leave".

Love this place, great food, helped me stick to my diet, their meals can be made paleo friendly (bunless burger with lettuce) awesome staff (Jodi is fantastic) ate their 3 days in a row last time I was here last year, eating here 3 more times this trip too, will go back everytime I am in Winterpark, (helpful hint you can pick up the resorts wifi from here most times)

If you have ventured into Winter Park to eat at the highly rated Pepe Osaka's Fishtacos you may have noticed one big similarity with The Back Bowl --- they share a chef! After a long morning of skiing (errr... mostly falling), my family and I walked quite the distance in ski boots to the little soup shop. Because it's the farthest eatery, I think it keeps the big crowds away. They have more than just your run of the mill chicken soup or tomato; the varieties range from pork pozole to green chile to tomato KALE. My husband loved that the green chile tasted just like the one his dad makes at home. I also had the Never Summer sandwich, which was also very tasty. My only negatives are the distance from the ski lifts (eh, not a big deal really) and the prices, but I hear that all the eateries are just as expensive. I realize that they are all paying for prime real estate though. I really enjoyed it overall, enough to go twice in one weekend.

Terrible. My sister and I went here for after ski lunch and were wildly disappointed. I understand that food on the mountain is often more than a little pricey but this was absurd. $11 dollars for half a grilled cheese and a tiny bowl of soup? Rip off. I wouldn't be so negative if the food was good. The soup was watery and bland and the grilled cheese wasn't even cooked all the way. They also have signs all over the place bragging about how good it is. Bold faced lies. There was one up side though.... The employees were so sweet. They were Interested in our day and thanked us when we left.

Love the back bowl! I grab lunch here whenever I have the time. (They are far from the ski lifts... Sometimes on a powder day I just don't have the time.) Every meal has been spot on. Always a great selection of meals. Soup is hot and perfect. Sandwiches are creative and well executed. Also love to grab a cheap beer here with lunch. Usually best on the way out of the ski hill. Be careful because they may be sold out by the end of the day. Well worth the walk in ski boots!

If it's cold skiing in Winter Park skiing this is the place to go to warm your body up. I enjoyed the tomato basil soup warm and yummy. The Never Summer turkey sandwich with avocado is the perfect half to order when you get the soup and sandwich combo. Yes this place is the bomb as the line can be a long wait but it's worth it. They even have a soup recipe in the cookbook- Ski Town Soups. Tip- There isn't much eating space but you can grab your lunch to go and sit by one of the gas firepits in the Village. A little warm soup and a fire is just what you need to get back out and conquer those black diamond runs.

Horrible service, the two girls working were rude and have that undesired aloof Boulder look to them. Soup was watery and lacked taste. Food was not cheap either. My place is across the street, and I still will never return here.

I built this place up in my mind - probably too much so. Who doesn't lust after an amazing bread bowl of hearty soup for lunch after a solid morning on the slopes? So needless to say, I was salivating before I'd even taken my board off. I'm not sure why I was surprised at it being pretty crowded, but I was. My soup fantasy involved quietly sipping on a hearty chowder by a roaring fire. That did not happen. There were no seats left inside, so we sat outside (it was chilly, but not unbearable). Our soup took a while to arrive - I guess dipping a ladle into a pot is more delicate an art than I thought. It also proved to be very beneficial that we were hungry since the soup cools off pretty quickly when it's below 30F outside - of no fault of the restaurant. The soup we had was decent but nothing to write home about. And riddle me this - who serves soup out of a bread bowl that isn't sourdough?! Granted I'm not even a huge sourdough fan, but the shear physics of the concept of using plain white bread loaves left me puzzled. The bottom of the bowl became a gooey, mushy mess and if you order a thinner soup, you're bound to spring a leak before you even hit the bottom of the bowl unless you really chow down. So less talking and dreaming of a roaring fire... get to town draining that bowl before you end up with a mess on your hands.

Dont really know how the food is, but don't pay attention to their website posted hours. They seem to open when they decide it is conveniant. Have tried three times, and even called ahead. No luck!

Okay, so I should have taken note when after skiing on a Friday at 3:30pm this place was empty when ALL other restaurants in the Village had a wait. Staff needs much more training....they need a system at the very least because this is how it went... We walk in and think it's closed because no one is inside. We are directed to soup choices on a board. We choose 2 kids meals and 2 bowls of soup for adults. Kids meals are posted to come with milk or soda. Order milk but are told they are out so we go for soda. No total..we are told we pay later. So we sit, 5 mins later someone yells out the kitchen asking who ordered the hot dog and what do you want on it? So we yell back the answer from our seats. Another few minutes and lady comes out to say they only have enough for one bowl of a soup so who wants it? I pass on my soup so my daughter can have hers and am told that she will just bring two spoons instead...? No thanks. I'll pass. But what about the sodas, it's been 10 minutes ? ... Oh, you go get them yourself. Oh, Ok..."no ice in the soda machine" I repeat as if there is anyone else I am speaking to.. Oh and no straws. Ok.. So where is the total? You come back up and wait until they are no longer busy behind the counter to ring you up. Very chaotic. And while seated a group of 3 come in, look around for a bit and are never greeted. They finally just leave. The owner needs to do something fast. The soup may be good but this place needs someone that can run a service counter like a machine. I can't imagine what it would have been like with more customers inside.

Jody and her husband accommodated our ski club group by opening at 7am each day. They were amazing. The food was tremendous and it allowed us to have a great breakfast before our first tracks lesson at 8am each morning. Steps away from the Cabriolet.

Went here at 6:30 last night. (Saturday). The resort had been very busy due to a special event. I walked in the door behind another family and heard the clerk telling them that the restaurant was trying to close. When asked if they could order and eat she reluctantly told them yes but acted put out at them. I overheard her say again how they'd been trying to close for an hour. No sign out front and front door was unlocked so I don't know what she meant by "trying to close". Food was ok but nothing outstanding. Overpriced as usual for a resort. I'm a homeowner in some nearby condos but won't be going back here. If they are making enough money to treat customers that way they don't need my business anyway.

I walked by this place after snowboarding and was very curious as to what kind of soups I could find. The next day my friend and I came to try it out. We stopped in about 2:15pm on a Monday and three soups had already been crossed off the board to our dismay. Alas 4 soups remained: Green Chicken Chili, Tomato Basil, Philly Cheesesteak and Red Chili. My friend and I opted for a half sandwich and cup of Philly Cheesesteak soup. I can agree with others when they say the service isn't all that great. The guy taking our ordered seemed burdened by us. After waiting about 10min for our food to come out I was disappointed that the grilled cheese sandwich looked like something from a school cafeteria, but it tasted good so I can't complain too much. Now on to the REAL reason we came... the soup! I must say I was pleasantly surprised by the Philly Cheesesteak soup. It was on the thin side but had chunks of beef, bell peppers, and onions which tasted delicious! So if you want soup and aren't easily offended by lack luster customer service this is your place.

The food for adults was good. Try the Santa Cruz burger or green chili soup, definitely worth the inflated price. However, two things to consider before putting in your order. First, the kids cheeseburger that is nearly the price of an adult entree is really just a small slider. Steer clear if you have been on the slopes all say and are looking for a hearty meal. Second, the service is horrible. You can expect to be greeted with impatience, deep sighs, and a tiny cup to refill from an empty pitcher for you water drinkers. Tips are requested in advance but there is no service after you are seated that should factor into your gratuity decision. When the Buyer's remorse sets in, you'll wish you stopped at one of the other restaurant choices you passed up for the back bowl!!

The beer cheese soup here was fantastic. Great value for the food, especially considering it's at the WP base.

This place is rough. I rolled in there tonight at about 7:00 as my wife really wanted this. Usually, the restaurant is not that busy. But, for some reason it was busy tonight. You would think they would be happy to be getting a lot of business. But, they were a total disaster. I could tell there was problems right when I came in because people seemed to have been waiting awhile to order. But, I pressed on because my wife really wanted a sandwich and I was getting it for her to go. I ended up waiting until about 7:25 when I finally got to the front of the line (mind you it took 25 minutes for them to take orders from approximately 6 people). Once at the front of the line they told me it would be only 2 more minutes until they would take my order. By 7:33 they had not taken my order and I was just left hanging out there. More people came in to order and they said to them that they just could not feed them because they were too busy and it was past 7:30 meaning that the staff wanted to go home. They probably gave up $200-$300 in sales by people they actively turned away. They probably lost $1,000-$1,500 in sales from people that left just because the place was obviously such a disaster. Anyways, by 7:33 they had not helped me and I gave up and walked out even though I was at the front of the line. Total disaster. And, they were totally rude.

This place has good food, but it must be a requirement to be an ass to work here. The day we stopped in, the person behind the counter was NOT helpful at all. When my wife asked about the soup choices the person just gestured to the sign and didn't offer any additional help. When I asked about the sandwiches the person said "there all fine". There was not much seating in this place, but again the food was pretty tasty so I gave them a 3rd star.

Another great lunch experience. My eyes were way bigger than my stomach today. I had the "Scott" sandwich (named after the Scott athletic wear brand) and a clam chowda (yes, chowda). The soup was not your classic creamy chowder, it had a very light cream with more of a chicken stock. The tomato soup had very good texture and quite delicious also. Keep doing what your doing and they will come back!

Great spot for breakfast. Had the burrito and thought it was fantastic. Very friendly staff as well. Met a gentleman we think is the owner - was super nice and gave us a deal for the kids. I will be back to to place.

Stopped in for soup and sandwiches before heading out to do some hiking. The homemade chicken noodle soup was great and my girlfriend enjoyed the chipotle butternut squash since she's veggy. Nice owners and sweet location right in the village

Excellent soups and salads. Staff is very friendly and eager to accommodate customers.

Waited for a hour for one sandwich and one cup of soup. Meals were not great, and expensive!

I love this place and would eat here every day if i could! The reason i can't ... they only have about 5 tables, and soup is hard to eat while standing up. So, we only go on low-traffic days. I was tempted to give it only 1-star to scare everyone away, so i could have it all for myself! :) But that wouldn't be fair, so i'll be my usual honest self. Awesome soups that are always different (even something basic like their tomato basil soup tastes different from the usual tomato soups out there). And they always have at least one veggie soup on the menu! Their grilled cheese sandwiches are a terrific accompaniment to the soups. And they have the basic wines and beer (although i'm a big fan of fountain Pepsi). To top it off, the staff are super-nice and friendly, and they quickly clean and bus the tables to make their tiny dining area as hospitable as possible. Here's hoping they find a way to heat their patio, so we can sit outside in the winter!
