Ordered two xl soups. 32oz each…only if it was filled to the top. I’d say 24 oz serving is more like it. Soup was bland. The bread they serve was so hard you could barely bite into it. $42 all in. Value is not good.

On a recent trip to the Grand Junction area, we were looking for a fast and casual restaurant that provided an option for salads and happened to find Zoup. We walked in 30 minutes before closing and were able to get everything thing we wanted off the menu and the staff was still welcoming. They had a great selection of soups, and I was impressed with the option to taste the soup before you ordered it. I got the lobster bisque with a salad and it was the perfect sized meal for what I was looking for. The soup came with an optional piece of bread which was a great accompaniment. I could see being a regular in the cold winter months because it would be such a warming treat to have a selection of great soups.

(This review is for the location on North Ave, Grand Junction, Colorado) When it comes to their soup in a word: Wow. Have never been a big soup person and have never thought of it as more than a side. Whenever I drove past a Zoup I always wondered why someone would make a restaurant advertising soup as their title- because I've never once considered soup to worthy of being a main course. However, one summer day my roommate and his girlfriend went to Zoup and brought me back a small Tomato Bisque soup from Zoup. As a soup novice I expected it to taste like tomato soup. Instead I discovered a magical experience that changed my opinion on soup forever. You might think I'm exaggerating- but I'm not. In fact, I loved it so much I went out and ordered more then left this review. Now, for their other options like sandwiches and french bread sides- I was not very impressed while I might consider them "good enough" I would not get them again. However, why would you go to a soup place and then not order soup? That's like going to Dairy Queen to buy a hamburger. Stick to the soups for a magical experience.

Jalapeno Popper Mac and Bacon Mac. Really good for sure. About the size of a KFC famous mac and cheese bowl but definitely better quality. The taste is more luxurious by far but you pay for it with the price being $12.00 a piece. Visually pleasing and the best Mac and cheese in all of Grand Junction!!

Giving 4 stars because nothing subtracted from our experience but we also weren't blown away. We weren't even sure if they were open because it was so dimly lit. It was also pretty chilly inside (my husband's theory is that it makes people want more soup). The service was great, the guy at the register was happy to answer all of our questions and offered many samples. I got the tomato soup with the pesto cheese sandwich. My husband got the chicken pot pie soup with the same sandwich. Not that we each needed an entire sandwich to ourselves but it would've been nice to know in advance that we were only receiving half with our soups, especially since it wasn't super cheap. The sandwich itself also kinda tasted like it was premade and slightly heated up? I say slightly because the bread was cold and the cheese wasn't melted at all. The tomato soup was fine, not necessarily anything to write home about. We were also confused because my soup bowl was double the size of my husband's. I ended up giving him half my half sandwich. It was a nice place to go on a rainy day but we probably won't go back.

I am a fan of Zoup. I've only ever done carry out for salads but it's been a handful of times. The chicken bacon Cobb and fiesta chicken have both been great. The ingredients are fresh and you get enough dressing. The price is on point. I've called ahead for pickup and ordered to go at the register. The staff is extra friendly. If you go in to order, you can sample the soups. My one qualm is that the environment inside doesn't have a good ambiance and it seems kind of dirty in the seating area.

3.5 stars for me. I ordered the half sandwich and half soup. For the sandwich I got pesto cheese and the soup was loaded potato. The soup was really, really good!! The sandwich wasn't bad either, but it was mostly bread. It had half a slice of white Cheddar and half a slice of Provolone, so in total one slice of cheese. I feel like if you're going to call a sandwich cheese anything, it should have a decent amount of cheese. With that said, it's expensive! I know, everything is expensive, but half a sandwich with one slice of cheese and a cup of soup with a drink was $20. I'm not saying I won't eat here again because I did like it, but I think they can step it up on the ingredients we're paying for. Excellent soup though!

My husband and I were heading to old Chicago's for Italian nachos, but decided we go to Zoup and get a nice big bowl of soup and a cold evening. A healthier choice. A cup of soup is close to $10 which is fine if it's fabulous. In this case it was not very good and today both my husband and I are sick. It's too bad because it used to be such a great place to eat, and I will never go there again. I will say the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Worst place to eat ever. 30 minute wait line for soup that I could make better out of a can. Found bugs in the soup. And bread is harder than a rock. NEVER EAT HERE IT IS OVERLY EXPENSIVE AND NOT WORTH IT $8.50 for a literal cup of soup why would I eat here when I could find better soup that's cold on a Safeway shelf...
Loved the service, selection of good and free samples! Wish there was one in California

I've given this place a chance twice throughout the past year driving to and fro form various road trips. Both times I've ordered chicken specific salads, of which the chicken had (as I'm sure was a mistake) been omitted. Quite frustrating when you're trying to get a quick meal. The first time I unfortunately missed out that I didn't have any chicken in my meal after I left the restaurant. The second go, I learned from my mistake, but should I have to remind the works to add chicken to a chicken grain bowl or a chicken salad?? Absolutely not. The portions are small and the quality is sub par. Quite disappointing considering this seems to be one of few healthy options for a quick bite in GJ. Don't think we'll be back for a third try.
