6 Best Soup in Norfolk

Norfolk Botanical Garden Soup • $
6700 Azalea Garden Rd, Norfolk

“(I received an email stating they had extended the Garden of Lights and that they offer a mobility shuttle on value nights. )This was a perfect opportunity to enjoy some lights with my husband, and bring another family member who otherwise wouldn't have been able to walk the entire route. The mobility shuttle is included in the price of admission, however one must contact the office to make reservations. They have a limited number of seats on the tram and will assign you a row ( each row has four seats).We had to arrive between 4:30-4:45pm to check in at the visitor center. The tram left at 5pm to tour the entire route of the lights at a good leisurely pace. It took roughly 30 minutes to complete the route. Since it wasn't completely dark when we started the tour of lights, the first half/three fourths weren't as magical and twinkly & sparkly as i'm sure it looks when it's completely dark and the lights illuminate with such fervor and vibrancy.We did enjoy the lights and they are a beautiful, mystical electrical sight, however we weren't able to witness it's full spectacular until the last part of the tour. It would have been a 5 star experience had they started the tram later for better visibility of the holiday lights. I'm guessing several reasons the tram starts right when the lights open are due to high foot traffic during open hours which isn't conducive for a tram to navigate,the other being for everyone's safety. Maybe the idea of starting much later would present additional safety and challenge issues with loading/unloading people on the tram due to lower visibility. If logistically and economically possible, maybe next winter season they can push the opening time a little later to accommodate for sundown and have portable floodlights surrounding the tram area for loading and unloading if those are partly the reasons? If at all?I think it's wonderful they strive to be all encompassing, as everyone should be able to enjoy the outdoors, especially without having to be concerned about navigating the logistics of a desired activity/event. Staff were safe, expeditious, efficient and friendly! Make sure to dress according to the weather, it's an open tram. We made sure we had hats, layers on, including long johns. That night was so frigid and even being bundled up I could still feel the cold creeping through. When we visited, we arrived early prior to check in & loading. It would have been helpful or appreciated if staff had offered /suggested to visitors the food vendor availability & location information to utilize that wait time for us to grab some hot drinks and snacks. We didn't see the food vendors until everyone went outside to load. Nor did anyone else. My husband was a tad irritated that he didn't know he had an option to get some drinks & snacks from Bear house coffee, duck donuts and another vendor prior.“

“Absolutely love this spot for breakfast/brunch. Staff there are so friendly and they are extremely helpful if you wanna make changes to the dish or drink you ordered and also substituting what’s on their menu for something else you’d rather have. So accommodating when taking your order. The environment is so laid back & comfortable. I’ve already recommended The Stockpot to my friends and some of my coworkers. Give this establishment a try, you won’t be disappointed. ??“

“Me and my wife love this place and have been going here for years. But a word for new people don't be afraid to ask what the difference is between the types of dogs, just know they're all good and the soups are better. I hail from Kansas but still love that NC BBQ on that OV dog! Delicious.“

“I really enjoyed the buy 2 meal with turkey chili and chicken melt on sourdough bread. Ordering was easy (with a person because I don't have the app), and the food came out quickly. The place wasn't busy around 5:15, and the fireplace was cozy! The 2 other folks I was with and I all enjoyed our experience here!“

“Amazing experience overall! The Crab Rangoon and Shrimp Eggroll were great. The Gen Tso’s Shrimp had a sauce that was a little too thin BUT made up for that with flavor and the quality of the shrimp. Absolutely will order from them again!“

“Zinnia is a fresh clean cafe space inside the Chrysler Museum (which is a free amazing museum btw). The menu here is not extensive, but solid consistent options for lunch or grab and go when at the museum or in the area. Here is what I personally like: there are gluten free options, a kids menu, it's very clean and the staff is attentive and kind. The soup rotates and you can get something from their grab n go, order take out or sit inside/outside. It can get super busy when there is an event or lecture so be mindful of that. There are dedicated bathrooms so you don't need to wander in the museum. My favorite is the chicken salad, my friend loves the duck grilled cheese and pickles!“
