I've been going to The Soup Kitchen on and off for many years -- almost 40 to be more accurate. It's there for simple soups and sandwiches (and the breadsticks). I've never, ever had a bad experience. While the staff can sometimes seem rushed, they've always been pleasant. While the line to the counter can sometimes be long and move slowly, it does move. If it's your very first time there, the layout and process can be a bit confusing, but the staff has always seemed helpful to first timers when I've seen first timers there. It's not fancy in any way whatsoever. No one should expect it to be. read more

This is a really small but good place for sandwiches and soup. They have several soups to choose from and many sandwiches that are sooo good. I got a French dip with broccoli cheese soup and I was very impressed read more

food quality: 5/5 service: 5/5 cleanliness: 5/5 value: 5/5 Don't skip on: The SKS (Soup Kitchen Special) I will admit that my review is a bit biased purely for the fact that I've been coming here since I was a child. This place always brings floods of memories and it's always exactly as I remember it. Yeah, it's no Michelin restaurant, but all the food is made with love. Th menu has a good variety of sandwiches, soups, and salads. Everything is made to order and fresh! The staff is welcoming and friendly and always a consistently wonderful experience. Highly recommend for a quick lunch! read more

I don't live super close so when I'm in the area, I love coming here for lunch to get soup and a sandwich. It's small and cozy. They have a big menu. I have loved all the soups and sandwiches I've tried. They have good breadsticks to go with the soup. They use to have different kinds but now only have one kind which is a little bit of a bummer. If you're in the area and feel like soup and sandwiches. I recommend this place. read more

Wow! So I'm from PDX and we always have a small soup kitchens and sandwiches, I heard of this but never been; but my best friend is sick so I took him here and Lo and be hold it was great. The food was fire, we both got chicken noodle soup, I had the BLT with avocado and ham, he got the French dip. We really enjoyed our food. It was delicious and I found a new spot for soup and sandwiches when I'm in SLC. Also, the customer service is amazing and man I love the server and the chef they are so nice. The ambiance is nice and have an old school look and feel. It was very clean and very welcoming. We found our new spot and will definitely be back, read more

It was a cold soup kind of day. My husband loves Clam Chowder and had never been here so we went. I ordered the Tomato Bisque but was originally served the Chicken Noodle Soup. There was a Man sitting on the sidewalk freezing so I had them get it to go and gave it to him. We both had sandwiches that were pretty unmemorable. The reason for my low rating was the lady working behind the Counter. She is not fit to work with customers. She wax on her cell phone most of the time and acted like we interrupted her by showing up. I'm going to have to learn to make Clam Chowder because coming back here will not be happening read more

This was exactly how I pictured it would be, based on the name. The Soup Kitchen is an old, small restaurant that has probably seen it's share of patrons throughout the years. I'd bet that most long-time Sugarhouse residents have a story about this place in their memory. Now I do, too. I visited on a cool winter day-the perfect weather for soup. My usual go-to is chicken noodle, so I went with that and it was....ok. Nothing remarkable, but it got the job done. I'm unclear on the genesis of the soup-did it come from a can, or is it made from scratch? Not sure. The breadsticks that accompanied it were a step above cardboard. That's saying a lot for me, since I can usually chow down most forms of carbs, but I just couldn't do these. Service was friendly, which earned a little higher rating than the soup alone. Also, when I was chatting later with some people about the restaurant, someone brought up how delicious the breadsticks are. Hmm, maybe I got a bad batch...or maybe I should take that recommendation with a healthy dose of skepticism. Either way, I'm not sure this will be one I rush back to. read more

Clam chowder was excellent. We would not sign in so we don't know about the service. The ambience was just what we saw when working in and it was I would describe as quiet nobody was there. read more

Soup was so yummy. The staff was super friendly. We were there about an hour and twice we were hit with a really strong smell of new tobacco smoke. Really strong. Smelled like someone was smoking in the kitchen? A half hour before closing they turned the music to loud heavy metal music. I guess they wanted us to leave so we did. read more

I love the this place!! Every time I am in the area I eat here. My favs are the chicken noodle soup and the turkey, bacon sandwich.

A great place to get an avocado BLT! Also, love the cheddar broccoli soup! Best soup in SLC! read more

Ordered a quick lunch on a Monday. Wasn't feeling so good and wanted to grab something quick but not from a chain restaurant. Ordered a Turkey sandwich added bacon, bbq chips and a cinnamon cake for dessert. The price is very economical and everything lived up to the other reviews. It is nothing fancy but it was worth a try. Didn't get soup. They didn't have a baked potato which is one of my favorites. Def worth a try. Very straight forward menu and you get as described. read more

I'm so embarrassed to admit that I door dashed food twice in one day from this place. I ordered the grown up grilled cheese with the creamy tomato soup for lunch. It was so delicious that I told my husband about it so we had to order another grilled cheese and tomato soup for him - I ordered the vegetable beef soup for myself. Hands down the BEST vegetable beef soup I've ever had. If the delicious comfort food isn't enough - then the relatively low prices will suck you in. Seriously a grilled cheese and bowl of soup for less than ten dollars? I'll take 2!!! read more

The Soup Kitchen - The remnants of my vegetable beef soup after I slurped most of the broth - Sandwiches Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

The quality has really gone downhill. I ordered my old favorite: grilled cheese on wheat with tomato soup. The once cheesy, gooey sandwich is now a thin slice of barely melted cheese slapped between two slices of dry bread. And the once thick, creamy and flavorful tomato soup is now thin and watery and flavored with hot pepper. Simply awful. I was a customer for decades, but I won't be back! read more

The Soup Kitchen is a hole-in-the-wall that used to be a daily staple for teenage me in the 90's. I'd come here and hang out with old friends, we'd each grab a bowl of soup and split a sandwich, nosh on the complimentary breadsticks. The food was the same at all their locations, some since closed. On Saturday at 12:30, we were in Sugarhouse near TSK. My husband and I thought it'd be fun to bring our adult daughter here for lunch. We ordered/paid upfront, then we asked for the bread sticks to go with our soup. The ladies told us they were completely out of breadsticks. :( How do you run out? Make more than you need, not fewer. The lady gave us a bunch of saltine crackers instead. I've never had that happen in all the times I've eaten here. We picked a table and sat down. It was apparent that the soup recipes had changed since the last time we'd been there. IMO, the soup wasn't as good by comparison. (Don't mess with a good thing! Change the recipes back!) The tomato soup used to have the slightest tang, which we'd mix 50/50 with the broccoli cheese soup. This time the tomato soup was overly sweet, and lacked any vegetables. (It used to have carrots, onions, etc) My daughter said she liked her broccoli cheese soup. Then our hot sandwiches arrived. Yummy pastrami, soft powdery rolls, nice rye bread, melted Swiss cheese... I am bummed that they no longer add alfalfa sprouts but I'll get over it. They use iceberg lettuce now instead. It was still v delicious, just not AS delicious. read more

Always so cozy and yummy. Feels like I'm at my grandmas. I like to go here alone or with a loved one. Anything and everything is good but I usually get the same 3 things. Perfect location because it is private and hidden but perfect for people watching. read more

Ordered grilled cheese and tomato soup for my boss and I for delivery. The sandwiches are flatter than one piece of bread but fine I guess. What's truly egregious was the soup. Cream of tomato soup? It tastes like ketchup water or as my manager said "it taste like vomit" Never have I experienced something so foul in soup form. I think a twelve year could do a better job. read more

The small place was a last minute what am I going to get for lunch spot. It sort of looks like a sketchy place when you pull up but when you enter your greeted very nicely! Being a first timer the staff had no problem explaining how to order and answered questions. They don't have an overwhelming menu it's simple. I didn't have to wait long to get my food to go. I tried the cheddar broccoli soup and the chef salad. The salad was very good and I couldn't finish it so plenty for the next day. I was not really a fan of the soup I think it just didn't hit the spot. I loved the piece of bread I got with it YUMMY! I think if I tried this place again it will be for a sandwich. Other than that it's a small cute place. read more

Ok - so this place is a Sugarhouse fixture but not because the alluring decor. It's set up for utilitarian reasons and not for ascetics, which explain the cold-war era cafeteria vibes. The food is straight forward, a few standard options for soup (I'm partial to the vegetable beef) and a few more choices when it comes to sandwiches. I've always been underwhelmed with the sandwiches. It really should be noted how friendly the staff is. So while I wouldn't make it priority to visit The Soup Kitchen again, I wouldn't rule it out. read more

I've always really liked the soup kitchen. So I'm giving it three stars because most visits are usually pretty good. This last time there was absolutely horrible. The service was really abrupt and I almost felt like I was inconveniencing them. I had to force the lady that serve my soup to smile and she finally did and that was nice. But then the soup was served warm. it tasted like water and there was absolutely no texture. I tried to put a whole bunch of Tabasco in it salt and pepper nothing helped. Ate maybe four spoonfuls and the staff was avoiding eye contact with me so I just thought what the heck I spent four bucks on some crappy soup stale breadstick but, I have enough left over to go buy a can of Campbell's. It's always seemed a little dingy and dirty but, this time was particularly unclean. I'm wondering if they're not going out of business or something? I hope not. It would be nice if they stuck around but, they have to clean up their act quite a bit. read more

Food is always fresh and delicious, it is a small cozy hidden gem in heart of sugarhouse. A must try!

I have been coming here since I was a kid and it has stayed consistent and delicious for many years. Gives off old school vibes and I love it. The workers are always kind. One of the best tomato soups I've ever had to date. If you go you have to get a soup and a sandwich. The salads are mediocre. read more

Went there on Saturday 2:50 PM the lady behind the counter was rude because evidently they close at 3PM on Saturdays!!!! We left and went to Millie's in SugarHouse instead! read more

Went to this shop today and I must say that it was simply pleasant. It was clean, and quaint, with great service from the ladies behind the counter. I could smell the different soups to a degree, and I just appreciated the layout of the store itself. The noodle soup was solid. It was made with the thicker style noodles which I like, and the chicken was shredded. The sandwich wasn't anything special, but in my humble opinion it was worth the price. Give it a try! read more

Why would an organization take their signature item off the menu -- breadsticks? Charge for them, whatever. I don't think it is a good marketing strategy to eliminate what has put you on the map as an institution for a generation or two. And now, no broccoli cheese soup? It has been hard to order BC soup off the delivery menu throughout Covid -- you had to go in to the sandwich menu and find it as an add-on item. If ordering slumped, that is why. I did bring this glitch to the attention if the business a couple of times to no avail. Sorry to see the end of an era. read more

First time there in years. Went primarily for the tomato soup. Big disappointment. Does not have the same flavor and very thick texture. Prefer our homemade version. No longer serving the excellent bread sticks just blah rolls. Sandwich (Italian sub) so so. Had ordered a salad but was substituted as they had no salads. read more

This company has been a community staple for 30+ years. The one thing that made me constantly return was their delicious breadsticks that I'd dip into their cheese soup. The last order I placed with them I received an unsalted tasteless ball of cooked flour. I asked the manager why they don't have breadsticks to which he replied, "It's too much work to cut dough into sticks all day. People don't like doing it." It's a shame that whoever has taken over lately has changed things that worked so well for decades. Won't be returning. read more

Terrible with DoorDash. I won't pay for another missing item. I don't understand how it's so hard to get a takeout order correct. I ordered a chef salad with a side of soup. I got the side of soup only, with some tasteless rolls. Thumbs down for waiting an hour for this. read more

I'm usually a big fan of The Soup Kitchen, but today I was very disappointed. I ordered the Broccoli Cheddar soup and instead of it being thick and creamy it was watery with minimal broccoli end pieces (no florets in sight). I couldn't even eat it. read more

We went here today for the first time for lunch and it was so delicious! I ordered the tuna salad sandwich and my boyfriend got the Italian sandwich and chicken noodle soup. The prices are amazing and we already can't wait to come back for more lunch dates to try more on the menu! read more

I stopped in for lunch and got chicken noodle soup, it was very fresh tasting and the perfect temperature. The breadsticks are free so I got the garlic to eat with my soup, I reccomend the same. I tried their hamburger as well and it was very well made. Wait time is moderate, staff are friendly, the actual building is a bit outdated read more

I've been meaning to drop in ever since I moved into the neighborhood. The groovy 70s style Soup Kitchen sign had me feeling like I was missing out! Yes, it def had a 70s vibe to it, but not in a good way. Like in a nobody has done a thing for the last 50 yrs way. Just a sad spot crying out for a little love. As to my sandwich, ordered a hot pastrami or was it a Reuben? Anyhoo...the bread slice should've been thicker and tasted more than just a hint of rye. Maybe SLC does hot pastrami differently than what I'm accustomed to, but lettuce and tomato on a hot sandwich = hot, soggy lettuce and tomato. On the bright side, I was only out $7.99 and had been expecting to spend about $12 on a sando. read more

I absolutely love this place! Teeny little hole in the wall with the most delicious food! It's my favorite low key spot for budget comfort food. I always get the SKS (Soup Kitchen Special) sandwich and the tomato soup. But I've had pretty much everything on the menu and it's all so good! Back to basics sandwiches with fresh ingredients and super creamy homemade soups. Salads are basic and great too! I get cravings for this place that no other place in the valley can fulfill. 10/10 recommend! read more

I always ask myself why we don't come here more! Great sandwiches and great soup. The Tomato soup specifically is the best I've ever had. I can feed my family of four for $25 and we all leave full. It's always clean. Only complaint, they got rid of the yummy bread sticks and now serve a horrible tasting roll instead. read more

I've been going to the soup kitchen for years. I was introduced to the 33rd south branch from my father that worked near that location. I've always loved the SKS and the Clam Chowder, but honestly I'll eat anything there. They recently had to change away from their flagship breadsticks due to limited number of people that can work on their commissary (they went from 8 down to 2). I still go to any of the locations and love it. read more

We are ridiculously in love with Soup Kitchen. We found it on Yelp and have been back twice in the past week. No pretension, just simple, humble food. I've had the vegetable beef and the split pea soup, along with the Italian sub and the BLT. Yes, I coulda made all of this at home, but I don't always feel like cooking and I enjoy having a nice dinner out with my man sometimes. I like the breadsticks that go along with the soup, and I especially love that you get your soup right away as you wait for your sandwiches to be made. There are some cool old pieces of furniture to look at scattered about the restaurant and during lunchtime they drag a few tables outside for some al fresco dining. Visit Soup Kitchen. It's lunch just like Grandma would make. read more

All the Soup Kitchen Restaurants are solid, but this location in Sugarhouse is the best of them all. Over the years, I've sampled all of their excellent soups. I'm a split pea fan myself. But lately, I've been focused on their sandwiches. The BLT, the Chicken Salad, the Egg salad, the Italian Sub. All exceptional. The highly acclaimed bread sticks are touch and go; sometimes fresh and soft, other times dry and stale. I dig the retro vibe, and service usually comes with a smile. It pleases me when a restaurant seeks to fill a particular niche, and succeeds so admirably. The Soup Kitchen is just such a restaurant. read more

The Soup Emperor of Sugarhouse has no clothes. I love soup, and all kinds. When I was craving clam chowder on a chilly December day, my Yelp app advised that The Soup Kitchen would be just the right place to satisfy my colloidal cravings. Boy was I mistaken. My clam chowder tasted as if it were from a can, except blander. The wife's "cream" of tomato that so many yelpers rave about, well, she said it tasted like dishwater. I'd say it tasted like tangy dishwater, with a bit of umami. And neither was particularly hot. The complimentary breadsticks were lifeless pieces of super compressed wonder bread (rip wonder bread), but the garlic ones had some nice flavor. My SKS burger was tasty, though it's hard for a burger with bacon, two cheeses, onion rings, and jalapeños not to be at least somewhat tasty. So I disagree with the common thoughts on yelp. If you want a decent bowl of soup in SLC, look elsewhere. Unless you really, really like dishwater with umami. read more
