Soup Shoppe

This isn't second time coming here.I had really high expectations but I've been let down. Customer service needs to really improve or just hire better staff. It seems to me even from the first time, that they've focused more on the men or regulars. Both times they've taken forever to take my order. I'm there, just looking at them tend to everyone else and pass by my table. It's wasn't even busy. Nothing out of the blue.I ended up leaving this time and just went to little green onions instead. They were full and was attended to right away with great customer service.. The ladies here really are not the friendliest. Won't be going back.

This is the best place to eat in Riverside. We have been coming here for years and never had an issue. The country fried steak and eggs is the best.

From the outside I almost missed this place. Luckily the placard caught my eye, because the food is very good - and the restaurant actually IS larger on the inside, including an upstairs area. It's nicely decorated, giving a comfy welcoming feeling. The women's bathroom is even cute, and spacious, and clean. The chicken rice soup was excellent! And it looks like they always have turkey items on the menu, which is unusual, but very nice to find - turkey being only seasonal in so many restaurants. I think they're only open to 2pm today; but they serve breakfast & lunch until closing. Oh, the waitress was attentive and helpful, even offering to bring an ice tea to go. I really look forward to coming back. This was a great find!

Lovely vibe and delicious food. Truthfully, service is usually a bit on the slow side, but it's a small place, everyone is working hard, and there's usually a lot of customers. Servers are also very kind.

Loved this place. The crepes are a child's dream. We have had lots of crepes, and these ones were fantastic. The pea soup... amazing! The turkey sandwich was 10x better than I expected. It's a tiny hole in the wall place, but a GREAT find! The atmosphere is full of character. Can't wait to come back here.

Had Sunday brunch here. Private parking lot, majority of seating is inside but they did have one table outside. There's two floors - looks like stairs only, and restrooms are located upstairs just something to be mindful of if incase someone has mobility issues. Service was definitely slow. And it wasn't just our party that felt this way, we had an older gentleman (customer) come up to us and ask if we had placed our order already, we said yes, and he replied that he felt as if he had been forgotten about. Another table sent one of their teenagers downstairs to check on the wait time of their food. So it wasn't just us - seemed as if everyone was a bit frustrated and antsy, wondering where their food was or what was taking so long. As far as the food goes, it tasted fine! Not a lot of flavor in my opinion but it was not bad whatsoever. Just a little plain but still okay.

I love this place!!! The prices are great and the food is delicious! I usually get an omelette or a turkey sandwich when I go. The blueberry muffins are delicious as well! I also really enjoy the taste of their coffee. The staff is always super friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend

For some reason I've never noticed this small restaurant tucked into the Brockton Street arcade in central Riverside. Part of the older city, one can find lots of small specialty shops in surrounding areas and a number of restaurants too. Craving soup as the weather is slowly transitioning from interminable summer to fall, this came up in the Yelp search. We arrived well after noon but before they close, and found the small but cozy dining room mostly full but with room to accommodate. The setup inside reminds me of a Bavarian house with a small upstairs dining area overlooking the room below. Already decorated for Halloween, it creates a kid-friendly atmosphere. The menu is typical American and Mexican cuisine, more of the former than latter, and breakfast is a big draw as are housemade soups, that vary throughout the week. My tummy said breakfast and the so-called Garbage Plate contains a few of my favorite things, not limited to biscuits and gravy, sausage, bacon, eggs, and home fries with onions and peppers. My gf was feeling Corned Beef Hash, which also includes eggs any style, home fries, and a side of pancakes. A great sampling we thought. Coffee, however, is pretty weak, even for a typical institution style. Hard pass there is my recommendation. Her soup arrived first, shredded beef with vegetables, and we enjoyed the chunky carrots. I thought the breakfast was excellent overall, both of us enjoyed the pancakes. She was on the fence about Corned Beef but everything else was good. I really liked the bacon and biscuits. The gravy too was well seasoned without a heavy hand in the pepper department, and the service was decent except: We requested a side of their kielbasa that never arrived but it wasn't on the bill either so mark that up to either a language barrier or absent mindedness. No matter, we ate our fill and will definitely go back in the future.

I love ordering breakfast from them. They have the best corned beef hash I've tasted in CA. I've also ordered their omelets, French toast, and chicken fried steak. I've also ordered their tuna melt sandwich for lunch. So far, everything has been delicious.

The food is consistently good as is the service. Great menu and everything is reasonably priced. I've never had a bad meal here. They make you feel like family. Overall great place!
