| - My first time here was because of the chicken noodle soup, I heard it was a good slurp, and it's true, of all the places I've been downtown for chicken noodle soup, sticklers is hands down the best followed by the hearty chicken noodle soup of downtown deli. Anywho, I was here recently and saw their soup of the day was Cream of Mushroom, and when it comes to that kind of soup I'm a stickler (pun intended) of it because it's my favorite. Caught my reference, eh?! Well, ordered their Cream of Mushroom, and I don't know my mind was thinking of the goodness and creaminess of Campbell's Cream of Mushroom, so, perhaps I was putting it to a high standard before tasting it, I should have had sample before I committed to it too. Along with my soup I got myself a Vegetarian Sandwich on wheat.
Service was quick and prompt, not sure when the lunch rush is but I usually lunch after 1, so, I guess the time I go is when the lunch crowd becomes sparse. Back to the soup. It was steaming, and I dipped my spoon, spooned out some mushroom goodness and was taken aback that it wasn't creamy but quite watery, hmmm, I believe in taking chances, and had a taste. Yea all my high expectations came crashing down, and disappointment creeped up. I'm gonna be honest I got the Vegetarian Sandwich as an afterthought to the soup, you know, a filler. The soup was just wrong, it was watery, it lacked flavor, and i started to miss and yearn for Campbell's cream of mushroom. My sandwich was on point and Sticklers hasn't failed me with their sandwiches, and I started wishing I had the chicken noodle but I didn't want to waste the mushroom, so, I ate the mushrooms in the soup, and threw the rest away. A waste. Overall, I know never to get their mushroom soup, and to stick to the tried and tasty chicken noodle soup. I still need to try their other sandwich concoctions but I'm still a fan nonetheless.
