Good place to grab a sandwich or a wrap or they also often have lunch specials such as the lasagna or pulled pork and both are very good. Best time to go is before 1130 or after 1230 as it gets very busy. I often get the turkey wrap which is good. Their soups are also good, they have a few to choose from. It's a small area not a lot of sitting room and is pretty busy during peak hours so can get crowded and loud. It is a good place to grab take out. I visit often and will continue to. read more

I discovered the perfect lunch formula: their Southwest Chicken Salad (always fresh ingredients with the perfect balance of heat) plus a small portion of tomato soup that tastes like the tomatoes were just picked from the garden. This place has the magic to turn an ordinary lunch break into a real gastronomic moment of happiness. I especially like the atmosphere - it's always full of business people from the center, which indicates quality without compromise. I've already become a regular customer and recommend it to anyone looking for fresh, tasty, and quick lunch options! read more

The service is always fast the salads and ingredients what's in I've always been tasty and fresh.

This is one of the few places in Syracuse that will never disappoint you, no matter what you order. The endless special items changed daily makes this place such a delight to visit. Try things you've never thought to try, I promise you won't be disappointed! read more

A solid and speedy place, Soup R Salad is one of my go-to places to get a good lunch downtown. Their salad portions are generous- when I get the small it still fills most of a large clamshell container. The sandwiches are basic but simple but filling, and their soups are always flavorful- when they said a chowder had spicey heat it genuinely delivered. My go-to is the Southwest Chicken Salad, which is a bed of romaine, corn, beans, chicken, shredded cheese, and dressing which has a little kick. Their specials are good too- my co-workers rave about the meatloaf and lasagna! They had fried perch fish for lunch on Fridays during Lent, and I loooove perch, a fish I don't see on menus often. The staff is a well oiled machine, getting a long line in and out with ease. To make it even faster you can call ahead though. There are sit-down options once you've gotten your food, with a handful of tables inside, and in the nice weather they set up two tables under the front awning. It's a great place to get a tasty lunch on the fly. read more

A nice quick lunch spot. Service is always speedy. The menu changes daily, so if something interests you jump on it.

Popped in for a quick lunch and had a delicious bowl of homemade soup - my first visit here. Folks behind the counter were sweet, fast and affable. The place is quaint and my table was perfect for an in/out delicious lunch. Well done. Will return and will try a salad as everything looked fresh. and The menu contained a healthy variety! read more

Best food ever! If you want a homecooked meal, this is the place to go. You can taste the love that goes into everything they make! The staff is so friendly too:) read more

Include me in on the list of very satisfied customers. I have heard about this place from a number of people and finally got the chance to try it. The staff is engaging and helpful. The salad portions are large. As for the soup... outstanding. Total cost of lunch about $9.50 read more

Soup R Salads - a bowl of soup and a bowl of broccoli - Soup Near Me - Syracuse, New York

A small place on the corner with a bright green awning, this little restaurant packs a lot more into it than it would seem. Parking is typical downtown parking so plan ahead a bit, but there are street spots on the storefront, one-way road. The line starts in the back, and the menu is simple. Salads, soups, and sandwiches with daily specials added in. Bottled/canned beverages available from the cooler by the cashier. Service is amazing and you can tell they know the regulars. Pricing is completely reasonable and perfect for an inexpensive yet comforting and filling lunch out. Seating is first come, first serve and limited so plan to take it to go if you can't snag a table. We were doing a quick stop after some travel so we shared a garden salad and each got a soup. The two large soups and large salad were a perfect option for a moderate appetite to share for a light but filling lunch. The clam chowder was awesome, just the right amount of chunky and broth. I got a bit of grit with it which leads me to believe fresh ingredients were used lol. It was worth it. The tomato soup was also delicious and creamy and perfect for the cold day. The salad was exactly what we needed- fresh, light, crunchy and not fussy. The balsalmic dressing was wonderful and completely balanced. The inside is a bit crowded between the line and the tables but if we lived a bit closer this would be a weekly stop without a doubt. Add in the awesome service and it really made for an awesome "welcome home" comfort lunch after travel and snow lol. I wish we had one in our direct area for multiple weekly stops! read more

A good lunch spot downtown if you're looking for a quick grab and go spot with healthy choices. I tried the small southwest chicken salad. It was a decent size and fresh. I was expecting more ingredients considering they specialize in salads. The chicken and homemade pita strips were flavorful. I enjoyed the dressing as well. I tried a small cup of potato chowder. It was delicious. I was disappointed they had run out of many of their other soups for the day as they had only been open for less than 2 hours when I went. Staff was friendly. read more

Our firm eats here every day, with no signs of stopping. Quick and inexpensive lunch spot that never fails to be delicious. Thank you, from MCV Law! read more

I can't say enough good things about this deli. The price is awesome. This place is significantly cheaper than most restaurants downtown, but they don't sacrifice quality. I usually get a bagel sandwich for breakfast for about $4. The staff is very friendly and even on a very busy day, you can still get in and out in about 5 minutes. Overall one of my favorite spots downtown to grab a quick bite. read more

Great soup and great service at this little heaven. You can even build your own salad. Very underrated for foodies who appreciate healthy foods. read more

Most times i walk in the door just about lunch time and the line is crazy long. don't let that fool you though, the preppers are wicked fast and you'll have a giant salad in less than ten minutes. I have had a few different salads, a few different sizes and i am always satisfied. But don't take my word for it, just go there yourself. read more

Super delicious soup, several to choose from. Awesome selection of salads. Nice and fresh!!!

I go to this place a couple times a week, and am always pleased. The staff is really welcoming, and the prices are budget-friendly. They have a great soup selection every day, and different cold salad options. Always a different entree every day from lasangas, mac and cheese, chicken and biscuits, etc. For downtown, its a great place to go to get a decent meal for lunch without breaking the bank. read more

Stopped in for lunch, and the staff was very accommodating of my buddy who is a picky eater. They made him feel comfortable, joked around with him, and made sure he had everything he wanted! We will be back!! read more

If you are looking for a tasty lunch downtown that is a bit easier on the wallet than the Armory Square locations, you can't go wrong with Soup R Salads. I've been there multiple times and the place is clean, the staff recognizes regulars and the food is really good. I had a mulligatawny soup that was delicious and their deli sandwiches are very good. They have daily soup and salad specials as well as an entree special. I seem to end up there on the chicken & biscuits days, which I haven't tried, but judging by how many orders I see go out, are a very popular item. This isn't a great place for a meeting; there aren't many tables, it gets crowded and it is a bit loud, but it is really good for takeaway and friendly lunches. read more

The soups and salads are the bomb! The energy of the ladies that prepare the food is contagious. A nice local, unpretentious spot for good food. read more

Staff is super friendly, I always hear them remembering their regular's orders. Service is also super fast so don't be intimidated by a long line. Salads and soup are always delicious. The taco salad is my favorite and a small is the perfect size for lunch. Would definitely recommend for a quick lunch to bring back to work, not much seating in there. They also post their specials on Facebook and they always sound really good. read more

Best deli in Syracuse. It's not close. Get the Italian wedding soup and the chicken salad sandwich.

I usually get salads here (southwest chicken salad is my fav), which are always great. Fresh ingredients & lots of good options.

Never been there before Tuesday, went there again today. By far the best place downtown for lunch where u CAN't get a drink

This is the absolute best lunch place! The salads are delicious, and the sandwiches have tons of options and unique condiments like horsey mayo, chipotle mayo ect, but the soups is where this little gem downtown really shines. I recommend all of them! There are routinely vegetarian options as well as plenty for meat lovers - all homemade daily and full of complex delicious flavors! The cookies are a fantastic end to a delicious meal! read more
