This little sandwich shop doesn't look like much, but I have to tell you, the food is FANTASTIC! It's been here for a long time, and the family that owns/runs it are super friendly. Their chili is one of my favorite items, which runs neck-in-neck with their cuban sandwich. SOOO GOOD! I don't buy cuban sandwiches from anywhere else in Polk County, because they all make them wrong! I am a sort-of cuban sandwich connoisseur, who used to drive all of the way to Tampa/Ybor City multiple times a month, just for a decent Cuban sandwich. But since I found Soup 'R Cuban sandwich shop, I don't need to make that long drive nearly as often, for a sandwich that is as close to authentic as it can be. They make them when you place the order, not ahead of time, and they use REAL Cuban bread... so your sandwich is always fresh and delicious, as it should be. They have a variety of other sandwiches, soups, multiple delicious lunch entree meals and even yummy desserts to round off your meal. And they even sell Cuban bread loaves, in case you want to make cuban toast in the morning! This place is great! It's been my GO TO for Cuban sandwiches in Polk County for many years, and will continue to be my Cuban sandwich/Chili place for as long as I have teeth to chew the sandwiches with.... And even then, I'll still go here and just "gum" my sandwich until I can get it down my throat. Lol! Yes, their food is THAT good! read more

An afternoon lunch with The Wife. I have been wanting to try this place heard great things, but I think the great things are from long time locals and that's why it's been around for so long. First this place is not a CUBAN Sandwich shop it's a plain sandwich shop. You would think with Cuban in the name they would put more quality into it. We both got 2 Cuban special's came with drinks and we also ordered a cup of soup for $28.62, the soup was very small for $4.79 would not pay Panera prices for this quality of soup again. Let's start with the bad and end on the good. Service: we walked in a stood there for a min while the guy at the counter just sat there. I said Hi how are you, he said good thanks for asking what can I get you in a semi bothered tone. Honestly we did not feel welcome rather gave us the feeling of order and move on so I can sit here and do nothing, as that is all he did while we were there. I did see a few people come in for pick ups and there phone was ringing with orders a couple times, but from the feel & look of cleanliness to this place I see why most would get there food to go. The sauce bottles were all old and disgusting laid out across a counter like they were on display, the just made me want to stay away!!! The Potato bacon soup: tasted like old soup, the potatoes were mush, cream was watery and the color was dark, sure signs your soup is old. We took 1 bite each just to try it and pushed it to the side. The Cubans: the meat was thick cut cheap deli meat, not fresh cooked ham or even good deli meat as it was watery. I know there's allot of variations for this sandwich, but this was my least favorite ever!!! It was a ham sandwich pressed with lettuce, tomatoes, a few small sliced pickles, mayo/mustard and onions, The onions were the freshest best part of the inside components. Now for the good the bread was awesome, both me and the wife loved the bread. Other than the bread there is nothing special about the sandwiches or the soups, but I am sure this is a great place for close locals who just want to grab a sandwich on some good bread and support a small business. They have been open for 21yrs, but if their quality in cleanliness, customer service or food ingredient choices doesn't change, I hope the locals can keep this place going because they will not attract new customers with how they are currently running this place. Ultimately we will not return, but if to grab some bread and go home to make our own sandwiches with it. Try it for yourself and make up your own mind, just don't expect greatness!!!i read more

Stopped in with my friend. The man working did not greet us when we walked in. His personality is dry and matter of fact. The place is very old and appears to have been around a long time. The signs say 23 years, so they must be doing something right. The food is mediocre at best. I enjoyed the crab roll. The Philly cheese steak didn't come with enough meat. I ended up putting it all on one side to save myself the calories of eating empty bread. I believe it's overpriced for the portion sizes. read more

Food was good and reasonable prices. Did not have a waiter/waitress, we ordered to go The place is not so big as it is just a sub & soup shop read more

Great food! Very good Cuban. Want to get a salad next time. They look good as everything else.

The young woman working at the front counter when I went Saturday 5/10 was really sweet. She had my food ready in less than five minutes and told me to have a great weekend and be safe. I never got her name, wish I did read more

Felt very misled as there was nothing Cuban about this place. The food was OK, but nothing out of this world. Was expecting the typical stuff you would find in a real Cuban restaurant like: Cuban decor, Latin music, coffee [and actual Cubans of course], but it is just a genereic local sandwich shop. read more

The sandwiches were decent but not traditional Cuban flavor. They were bread heavy but fresh. The Cuban tamales were mushy. Their soup selection is good but not traditional Cuban either. read more

Great Cubans! One of the best ever! The ladies working there were super friendly! The place was simple and maybe needed a wee bit of scrubbing but it could have just been the age of the building etc. we will go back! read more

We love this place. Food is always hitting the right spot. Each of us has the Cuban sandwich on our last visit. Yum yum en Español is still yum yum. read more

My kids and I love this place. It's their favorite place to eat. Very good soup and great Cuban sandwiches. So good, they're addictive. Been coming here since they opened 20+ years ago and never been disappointed. And with regards to the handful of negative reviews regarding "customer service", the owner, etc...he is who he is. If you need pleasantries in order to enjoy a good sandwich, go somewhere else. Or understand you're eating at a soup and sandwich shop and not a prime steakhouse, get over yourself and be the person you want others to be. read more

Hit this place up while visiting Florida and it's a hidden gem! Loved the variety on their menu! Not only do they specialize in soups and Cuban sandwiches - you can also order a sub any way you'd like! They've got tamales and potato balls (relleno de papa) just to name a few of their additional offerings. The prices are also very reasonable. I had a classic Cuban sandwich and it was delicious!! All they are missing is Cuban coffee on the menu! read more

This place was good I got the tamale the sevice was nice very nice and clean loved it

I ordered a Philly steak for my husband. We dine in fully state come out, looking like the bottom of the bread was still raw or ask the man about it he informed us that's how it's supposed to work. It was very nasty the man there never even tried to make it right, so I paid for my food and will never go back again. if I had took the sandwich home and ate it at home that I might understand it looking so nasty but I eat in the restaurant. read more

What kind of self respecting Cuban spot doesn't have a good steak sandwich?? These people are imitators and not the real deal

Great place to stop for a sandwich and soup. I got the Cuban sandwich with poblano chicken soup. It was very good. The wifey got the chili and she really liked that. read more

I am writing this real late, we were on the way back home from a doctor's appointment and were considering what to eat and I remembered Soup R Cuban. It is small but clean. This day the owner was there. He was friendly and so was the lady that was there that day. I ordered chicken enchilada soup it was different and real good with just a slight kick. Husband ordered a sandwich I do not remember what it was but it had ham, roast beef and provolone. He enjoyed it. We talked with the owner and the lady and left. Hope to go there again. read more

Walked in, no greeting but a menu on the counter that shows salami in the "Cuban" sandwich. I turned around and walked right out. I'm Cuban, but that sandwich isn't, not with salami in it. Call it something else or take the salami off. read more

I live across the street from this place and let me tell you its not that great. The bread is hard and the meat very skimpy. Last time I went the man upfront was so rude it was insane. He is also the owner go figure. He was very pushy and wouldn't let me finish ordering read more

The man not once washed his hands, he touched Lysol cleaning supplies and used a rag to clean the counter and went straight back to touching food read more

Got a few Cuban platters for my grad party and everyone loved them! I don't always like Cubans myself, but I did like these!

Wow. What a hidden gem. Everything this place does they do right, with the centerpiece obviously being the Cuban sandwiches but don't sleep on their soups. Great variety, made on site, always tasty. Their stuffed potatoes and crab rolls are each okay, but for the underrated star of the menu look toward the tamales. There's not much seating, in fact I just comets and there's seating for sixteen people here, but the bulk of their business is carry out so don't worry about finding a seat, which are primarily bar stools along a counter. read more

Soup'R Cuban Sandwich Shop - The sign on spirit lake road - Cuban Near Me - Winter Haven, Florida

Love their Cubans and soups. Service was great. They we're super friendly and the prices are excellent. Support local!!!!

Rude, and poor customer service ... the reason I say this is because me and the guy at the front counter had a conversation about the Cuban special and I asked him does it come with a drink he said yes and that he doesn't fix the drinks that we will have to fix them ourselves when we come in to pick up our orders... I was okay with that... but we and my mom got to the restaurant he charged us for two 10 inch Cubans with no drinks when on the phone I specifically told him I wanted the special... so yeah they ripped us off and we will never ever eat there again and the only reason I chose one star is because I had to in order to leave this review!!! read more

I pass by this place every day and have been wanting to try out the Cubans since it's advertised as the "best kept secret" and number one Cuban in Polk County. Ordered 2 Cubans and I'm sorely disappointed. First of all, this isn't a Cuban restaurant as others have mentioned in the reviews. My mistake, the name is misleading and I didn't look into it. The bread is very good, it was toasted just right and had good flavor but that's where the positives end. The ham is like a cheap thick meat-like substitute, the roast pork is nonexistent I had to open the sandwich to see if they even included it. Sure enough, it's there but it was like 2 little shreds as if they shouldn't have even bothered. Same goes for the single pickle chip that was placed in the center of a 10-inch sandwich. Cheese was flavorless, as was the salami (I didn't even know it was there until, again l, I opened the sandwich to see if the roast pork was there). Definitely not worth the $10+ for the sandwich. My money would have been better spent at Publix honestly. I hate to say it as I love supporting local, small businesses but I won't be returning. read more

Not a Cuban restaurant Their sandwiches are good but the people that works in there , treat each customer in a different way so if you don't sound like an American don't go , they don't like people with different accents they are definitely going to give you attitude and you are definitely gonna feel Mistreated. THIS IS NOT CUBAN FOOD CHANGE THE NAME YOU GUYS DONT Represent Cuban food and any type of way . read more

His soups tastes like water down soup and his sandwiches is good when it's hot but most of the time, the middle of the sandwich is cold....

Number one thing that bothered me is the use of Cuban in the name of the restaurant, as my husband and I are Cuban and after visiting this establishment for the first and last time I can in fact tell you there is nothing Cuban about this place. The "award winning" Cuban sandwich is nothing close to that. There was no roast pork and comprised mostly of CHEAP deli meat. The sandwich mostly tasted like mayo. The black bean soup was the blandest black beans I've ever tasted. I had to go home and throw cumin vinegar and oregano in it to make it taste remotely close to what WE CUBANS eat. The guy at the counter had a just order and leave kind of attitude and I saw him barehand cut my sandwich no gloves or the attempt to even be sanitary. Was too intrigued with his tv show to even care about selling. Definitely won't be going back and I strongly urge them to take the name Cuban out of their restaurant name. If there were anymore Cubans in the area they'd have a field day with this place. read more
