Menu ****
Souper Jennys menu changes daily, so frequent visits are a must. The selection seems impossible, boasting six rich soups and two fresh salads in the winter, with a wider salad selection and cold soups available during the summer months. Thursday grilled cheese night pairs gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches with the staple menu. Chocolate fondue and do-it-yourself smores add a sweet ending to the meal. A fine selection of homemade cookies and cakes is offered daily.
Food Quality ****
Souper Jenny masters what mom was not quite able to achieve. The aromatic selection of chunky soups infuse wholesome goodness down to your toes. Complement your hearty soup with a crisp salad or unique wrap.
Food Presentation ****
Nothing fancy here. Souper Jenny dishes up comfort food the way it should be: simple. Colorful ceramic bowls are filled to the brim with rich soups and stews. The salad greens are vibrant and fresh. Food this good doesnt need embellishment.
Atmosphere ****
The warm, inviting atmosphere feels like grandmas kitchen. The walls are covered with family photos and magazine clippings, and cozy tables dotted with tulip-filled vases are grouped family-style. Additional seating is available on a quaint patio, with 20 more tables becoming available in the 2006 expansion.
Cleanliness ****
Grandma liked to keep things spic-n-span, and so does Jenny. Youll be amazed how quickly the tables are cleared off, making room for more delighted customers.
Service ****
Dont let the long line scare you. The enthusiastic employees move with lightening speed and efficiency. Their upbeat attitude is both entertaining and refreshing.
Menu Recommendations:
Since the menu changes daily, you never know what to expect - other than great food. If you encounter either the turkey chili or white bean turkey sausage soup, I promise you wont be disappointed. Fresh salads are always on the menu, and grilled cheese night makes ho-hum Thursdays feel like Saturday night!
Overall Rating ****
If you are looking for a change from the typical high-brow fare, Souper Jenny is the place for you. Youll agree that moms cooking never tasted this good as you soothe your soul with one of the six daily soups or munch on a crispy green salad. Perfect for a quick lunch on a busy day, Souper Jenny spoons up a hearty bowl of comfort that warms you down to the bone.
