| - I have been eagerly anticipating the opening of this new enterprise here in the Greenway Blvd/Greenway Station neighborhood! Apparently quite a few others in the area were too!
Their claim to fame is a daily, rotating menu of 12 proprietary soup flavors but what really sets them apart is that you actually get to taste any of the soups you're interested in before you make a gigantic gastronomic error......that you don't find out about until you're back in your office. A big plus that I well appreciated, as I'm not big on really spicy hot foods (I see no reason to have your eyes water, and your lips go numb, other than to hide poor cooking). So getting to have a taste of the Shrimp and Crawfish Etouffee, which ended up beating out the Chicken Pot Pie soup, before ordering gave them one extra star in my rating!
Your order does come with a mini-loaf of French, Multi-grain, or Sourdough bread, so don't forget to grab some butter as you go through the line.
In addition to soup, they also offer a wide selection of salads and sandwiches, which you can mix-and-match as you prefer, pairing soup & salad, soup & sandwich, or salad & sandwich. Another offering I'm looking forward to down the road is the Boule! Which is whatever flavor soup you want in a sourdough bread bowl. One of my favorites!
The only negative I've had is that they're still working out the kinks and service (especially today) was very slow, especially since the only thing that had to be made for me was the sandwich portion of my order. I give kudo's to management however, as they saw the long line of people and came around handing out cards for a free side of soup! That's the attention to, and appreciation for, customers that anyone wants to see. If that kind of customer service continues, they'll be around for a long time and escape the Greenway "Black Hole" that has been the demise of many a decent food establishment there.
I will say that you could probably save yourself more than a couple of minutes by ordering ahead, on-line. You won't be able to get your free taste of soup, but if time is of the essence, then I highly recommend ordering that way. There were a number of pick-ups that came and left while I was waiting my 10 minutes+ in line today.
One last thing to clue you in on. There will be a lot of yelling when the soup or bread is coming out of the kitchen but do not fear! It's not the Soup Nazi denying anyone some great tasting soup. It's just letting staff, and customers, know that fresh, hot soup or bread is making it's way to the serving area and is one step closer to your tummy!
