    Menu for the day

    Happen to find this place walking through downtown Fort Smith. I couldn't believe all five of their soup selections were gluten-free. I was so excited! I bought 1 quart of sausage lentil and one of sweet potato and chicken. I snuck in a grilled cheese for my husband (he has no problem with gluten) he loved. Both soups were delicious!

    On a cold weekday, I decided to head to the Soupery to satiate a craving for chicken noodle. The location is wonderfully walkable if you work in downtown Portsmouth. Service was quick, friendly, and helpful when they ran out of the full amount of one ordered soup. My officemate and I traded bites and all the kinds we ordered were delicious and had that great homemade quality. Not much to say about ambiance because there's an ordering window and that's it! You won't have to stand in the cold long!

    Had the cajun sweet potato and chicken soup with a classic grilled cheese. This meal completely hit the spot I'm so happy I came here. If you blink you'll miss it. There's no super obvious outdoor seating but the juicery next door is the same owner and you can sit there inside or outside. The soup felt super wholesome and clean. I'm extremely satisfied. :)

    So, I went to The Soupery hoping to nosh on a grilled cheese and soup. I was lucky enough to walk in 15 minutes before closie, which happened to be 3 pm on this day. They had a note posted on the door, that they were closing that early for a staff meeting. Strangely, it wasn't the only busniness I noticed in town with notes like that. I think I found the restaurant from the town map they gave me at my hotel. I am a sucker for an amazing grilled cheese, so with my mid afternoon hunger in hand, I set out to find this little hole in the wall. And that it is: a hole in the wall! Teeny, tiny. There is a tiny counter against the wall, with a few stools squeeed in, but for the most part, it seems to be a place best suited for grabbing your food and going elsewhere to enjoy it. Very small and cramped, Can't say that the service was friendly, or in any way engaging, unfortunately. I did notice a "help wanted" sign seeking "energetic" people, so it seems the owner realizes how important being helpful/friendly is. Hopefully, The Soupery will have some luck soon finding at least one energetic, friendly worker. Not that the girl working there was rude, or slow...just kind of bored to be there, you know? I understand where she's coming from, but you still have to try to seem more interested. Unfortunately, they only had 2 or 3 soup choices...doesn't seem like much for a restaurant called "The Soupery". Nothing floated my boat, so I skipped the soup and went just with the grilled cheese. It was delicious. YUM I would have loved a Diet Coke with it, but they don't carry any sodas, so I drank nothing. That grilled cheese was a 5*, but considering everything else, I must give a lower rating.

    Small hole-in-the-wall soup kitchen.

    Visited this last summer and am finally getting around to writing a review. This teeny-tiny place has nice choices of delicious veggie/vegan soups available. Worth a visit. Once you get your soup, find a nice with a view of the harbor to enjoy it as you really can't "dine-in.

    Great little spot to grab hot soup on a cold day. Not much space to sit, but fine for grab and go.

    If you want to sit and eat it there, you can go next door to The Juicery which has a bit more seating room.

My wife and I have close to or more than 1000 dining experiences in our time together. If Cava wasn't the best overall, it was an extremely close second. Our server Dan was awesome from start to finish. On point, Attentive, professional, and exceeded expectations on every level. Cava is a very intimate dining experience with a warm comfortable indoor and outdoor seating option. It is also very practical as a stop before going to the Music Hall, an important date or like us an anniversary. Cava is unlike many of the places we have visited over the years in the food category. Every course was exceptionally prepared, thoroughly thought out and professionally executed with excellent plating. I won't go into detail on every dish but suffice it to say there was enjoyment with every mouthful of every course. I ordered: Espresso Martini An Italian Pinot Grigio (with dinner) We shared the charcuterie plate First course - Mussels Second Course - Italian Meatball dish Third Course - Braised Flank Steak Fourth Course - Torte My wife ordered: A wonderful Rum with blackberry cocktail An Italian Pinot Grigio(with dinner) First Course- Warm Potato Soup Second Course- Stuffed and wrapped dates Third Course- Shrimp with Polenta Fourth Course- Blueberry Cheesecake

You walk in and the vibe is fun, colorful, and eclectic. It reminded me of a classic Mexican restaurant with a tasteful, funky modern touch. My watermelon margarita was incredible and we got the salsa trio that had a good mix of spicy mango salsa, a mild but flavorful green salsa, and fresh pico de gallo style. The chips did taste homemade but if not still enjoyed the thicker corn style chip you don't usually find in restaurants! We each got 3 street tacos and all were great, even the sweet potato taco! The chicken was chopped a bit thick for street taco style but it was still great flavor, and rice was a bit salty but not unbearable.

We (parents and a toddler) arrived hungry after driving two hours and had a hard time getting his attention at times. We arrived before 6pm on a Friday but still there was a wait. Once we were seated, the server was pretty prompt and really friendly, though generally service was somewhat slow with a wait for food. We were waiting almost an hour for entrees and about to change our order to to-go because of stress with our exhausted toddler, but of course that's when the food arrived. We had to shovel it in and leave. The food was the most disappointing part. The chips are clearly not homemade. The salsa didn't have much flavor, and the guacamole was a huge letdown. It had a dull green color and very "slop" style texture (think sour cream texture, not chunky like real guac) that all pointed to store bought / not fresh. I had the chicken enchiladas, and the sides of rice (so salty) and beans (very soupy) brought down an already undesirable dish. The enchiladas were cooked nicely but far too cheesy. The green sauce was nearly tasteless, the red sauce is what made it all edible. Wouldn't ever really come back here. I wish I could say something more positive!
