Good food, fun spot, nice staff. It's small but run well. We'll definitely stop if we're in the area again.

After getting off the Washington Island Ferry, we plugged Jackson Harbor Soup into the GPS and headed across the island for lunch. It definitely feels like you're heading out into the middle of nowhere -- but keep going! It's worth it. This is such a cute, casual, family-owned spot right near Jackson Harbor. You order inside at the counter and then grab a table either inside or outside. We chose to sit outside, and with the beautiful view of the harbor, it was the perfect place to enjoy our soup and sandwiches. We relaxed over lunch while watching the ferries travel back and forth between Washington Island and Rock Island State Park. Kids can play, you can wander along the water, and everything just feels peaceful and unhurried -- exactly how lunch on an island should feel. If you're looking for something fancy, this isn't it. But if you want good food, fresh air, beautiful scenery and a peaceful little slice of Washington Island, Jackson Harbor Soup is absolutely worth the drive! read more

Known to most for the best soup, sandwiches, and pie on the island. I'll have to explore more places here, but no complaints. I love the cherry pie and the Gramma's potato soup I had on my recent visit. Use a map because you'll lose you mobile signal, and therefore GPS, on this part of the island. read more

Waited 1hour to order and receive food. They were packed, so not their fault. The soups were oddly sweet, not sure why beer cheese soup would be sweet at all. The view was nice read more

We stopped for supper because of the reviews. So disappointed. We had french Onion and Wisconsin cheese. Both flavorless. The bread was the best part of the meal. No one asked us how are meal was. Maybe because we left over half of the cup of soup and didn't order a sandwich. I would not recommend the soup and we didn't order anything else because we were not impressed with the flavorless soup. lol read more

Stopped in for lunch on our Washington Island visit. We waited awhile in the long line to order, but they were efficiently taking orders, and the line did move. I had the you pick two with the beer cheese soup which came out like warm and I thought was good but not great. The lady had the Italian wedding soup which came out hot and was tasty. I had the French dip sandwich which was very tasty. Lovely casual outdoor setting right by the water. read more

We spent the week in Door County, visiting from Virginia. We took a ferry to Washington Island and rode bikes and decided to try Jackson Harbor Soup for our lunch. There were so many people there that it felt like it would be overwhelming but it was as if there were miraculously enough tables for everyone to sit and not be right next to each other. I can't even explain it. It's like the fishes and the loaves but it was with tables and chairs lol. We sat outside on the beach overlooking the lake and the food was delicious. We got a piece of carrot cake to go and it was ginormous. It was so good. I wish I had this restaurant close to me in Virginia. read more

The food and service were and always are top notch. It's a great setting to hang out and have a sandwich and a drink. It's a must stop for us when we come to the island every year. read more

All of our sandwiches were great, the cherry pie was excellent and the French onion soup was top tier! read more

If you're looking for some great food on Washington Island, I'd recommend heading over to the Soup. We have yet to experience any bad food or drinks of any kind. In fact, they're all quite worth the wait. I get it; it's the island. You may be hangry because you tried other places, but they just didn't cut it, maybe. This place does, though there may be a bit of a wait. It's normal to have to wait a bit when there are visitors on the island, so if you can endure, I think you'll enjoy what you get. Outdoor seating is spacious, and there's a bar area if you need a drink while you wait. I grabbed the Dagwood because I was in the mood for a big ole sammich. It was great, and washing it down with a refreshing IPA hit the spot. The weather was a bit warm out there, so the combination was really a win. There's an assortment of outdoor games, or you can stroll around the various places nearby, like Jackson Harbor, the Maritime Museum, or hop on a boat and go to Rock Island afterwards and take a hike to the lighthouse. They have Wi-Fi, but in most places on the island, your connection is going to be hit-or-miss. read more

Truly the worst soup I have ever eaten. I say this with love, but my god I've never had a flour soup. Shockingly bad. The tomato soup was edible and worth getting, but please avoid the beer and cheddar or potato soup. I wish them the best and hope next time is better. read more

Was just exploring Washington island for the first time, when I followed a car into the parking lot and knew I'd hit the jackpot with outside fireplace and location overlooking rock island and beach area! The staff was so friendly and helpful with picking out the best food but from the various pies to the hot and cold sandwiches to the service, it's just a must stop lunch area that locals and visitors love! Highly recommend! read more

There are several great restaurants on The Island, but The Soup is my favorite! We're here for several months every summer, and we eat at The Soup several times a week. The staff is outstanding, and the sisters who run the place are a hoot!) (My only complaint is that the desserts are irresistible. As to which is best? It's a toss-up between the cream pies and the carrot cake. I take the cookies home with me. Buy three and get a discount! But try not to eat one in the car on your way home.) read more

Recently had a vacation on Washington Island. We ate at several restaurants and this was the best. There were two soups available one was vegetarian and another was vegan. My beer cheddar soup was stellar as was my pesto, blue cheese sandwich. The menu informs you as to what is vegetarian, what is vegan, and gluten free choices. You order at the counter and your food is brought to your table. There is plenty of outdoor seating and it was a beautiful day. There were lawn games for the kids and for the adults. Rock Island is across the water and adds to the ambiance to the place. Sitting near the door I saw some very good looking desserts coming out. If you're on the island I would highly recommend this place. Don't miss it! read more

Very busy, long lines-waited at least half hour just to order abs another half hour at least for food. Food was ok, but not exceptional. Very limited seating. read more

Oh so worth the trip! Yum yum the beer cheese soup and Dagwood sandwich. Even if you have a big mouth you need an extender to bite in to this tall delicious sandwich! I ate 1/2, took the other 1/2 home and ate 1st quarter for breakfast and the 2nd for lunch the next day! My friend got carrot cake and I swear she got a1/3 of the delicious cake with 3 forks. We still couldn't finish. JUST GO HERE! read more

No, no, no. Nothing here is worth the wait or hassle. They handled a long line at a glacial pace. We stood there for about an hour just waiting to put in an order. When we finally got our food, it was all kinds of MEH. When your customers are literally trapped on an island, I guess there's little incentive to do anything beyond the bare minimum to satisfy them. Yes, we technically ate lunch. But if I could do it over again, we'd eat lunch somewhere else. read more

Long lines, but delicious food and friendly service. Sandwiches and soup were delicious--didn't try the carrot cake but it looked amazing!

My favorite on Washington Island! The sandwiches are fresh and delicious. The soup /chili as well as the service is great. And by the way the view is simply beautiful! read more

Every time I come here I love it more. Like it makes me happy. The kitchen and counters are buzzing with people who love their jobs. I've been thinking about the french onion soup for two days now. Sooooo good. Great beverage selection. Lovely patio on the water and huge deck. I could easily spend an afternoon here. Please keep this gem alive - spend your money here!! read more

super cute place on the water. Wonderful staff. I can only speak to the wine and beer selection since we did not eat there. Outdoor guitars was fun as well. read more

Awesome sandwich and soup lunch spot with great view. Get there early on the weekend or you will be waiting.

Incredibly busy, but you'll know why. Delicious homemade soups and sandwiches on a property overlooking scenic Jackson Harbor and Rock Island. The customer service counter personnel are extremely helpful and the waitstaff hustles better than anyone. It's a gem! read more

Great soup run by a wonderful family... close eyes and pick, you can't go wrong. Try the desserts as an appetizer while you wait.

Who eats soup on. 90 degree day! This Yelper! The reason? My friend highly recommended this place and said - even if it's hot out you need to try the soup. She was right. Their soup is life. Not sure what they put in the soup but it was pretty amazing. We were starving when we arrived on Washington Island and my GPS wasn't working so make sure you get a map to find this place - it's a hidden treasure. The line was long, but we got our orders in, copper a squat and waited about 15 minutes. I got a 1/2 sub with a cup of Grandma's Potato Soup. It was excellent. The soup was rich for a cup was enough for me. There were 4 soups when we visited and a good selection of sandwiches and fresh baked desserts too. They have a great outdoor seating area. I recommend doing an early or late lunch to avoid the crowds. read more

Possibly a neon sign needed on the road to make sure you get the right drive way, but this is the hidden spot you want to find. The space is handicap accessible. The food is so delightful. I had the beer cheese soup and grilled cheese, plus a slice of strawberry rhubarb pie. The patio has a nice cover and you get a nice view of Rock Island. When you're looking for something other than burgers or bar food, this is the spot on Washington Island to go to. It's my new go to anytime I visit. Thank you to a great staff. read more

Good thing they had the OPEN flag flying or we would not have pulled in. Cashier and servers were very friendly and seemed happy to be there French onion soup and half french dip sandwich were very good. The au jus spilled on the plate and made the bun soggy but was very tasty. The potato soup was hardy and creamy. Pulled pork special was perfect. Heck of a view and definitely a repeat. read more

Good soup, good sandwiches. If it's the weekend, you'll probably be waiting a while, but that's OK. There's a line for a reason. The soup specials are hit or miss. If in doubt, stick with the regular soups. (The potato is great on a chilly day.) The sandwiches are straightforward, competent and free of gimmicks. You just want a simple BLT? They have a simple BLT. The sleeper sandwich, if there is one, is hidden on the back of the menu in the kids section. The grilled cheese--the multi-layer "Gourmet Griller"--is great. It's the sandwich that made my son love grilled cheese. Add on top of this a nice selection of beverages, and you have a great place for a good lunch. We'll be back. read more

Great view, great sandwiches, just okay soup. Both soups we had were severely lacking salt. The giant carrot cake is no joke. It's a huge slice and very tasty. As for covid precautions... of the 5 employees only two knew how to wear a mask. Most patrons were wearing masks but if someone came in without one, no big deal... read more

First time visiting this place. Had both beer cheese and potato soup with half sandwiches. Nice portions and just delicious! French dip is great! We will be back whenever visiting the island! read more

The food was amazing! Savored every bite. The service was slow and unprofessional though. Took 84 years to get any food or drinks. They never checked on us until we were nearly done eating. The list of the specials was way too long to remember. The location was beautiful and would go back if the service improves because that food was really good. read more

BEST. SOUP. EVER. I ordered the daily specials--Turkey/wild rice soup with a beef sandwich--as a combo and they were fantastic! My wife had a soup bread bowl and we agree that this is a must-do on Wash Island. Top notch food and service, and conscientious Covid handling. Highly recommended! read more

Great find!!! GF options. Nice little find - off the beaten path great outdoor seating as well.

Located RIGHT near the Washington to Rock island ferry launch, this is a lovely place to grab sandwiches before heading on for a day at Rock island. Super kid friendly due to the friendly staff multiple kids options and outdoor games on their beautiful big lawn such as beanbag toss/corn hole, massive Jenga and more. The outdoors seating is quite nice and the view of the lake is fantastic. Indoor seating for four tables or so. I saw quite the variation of age there from little kids to older couples. My only complaint would be the chips weren't a hit and one of our cookies was day old and hard while the rest were still warm from the oven. Sign on the road said open only Fri to Sun but it was open for us on a Thursday. One vegan sandwich and several vegetarian ones. read more

We've been by this place every year for the past 3 plus years as we go to Rock Island to camp. This is the first year we just stayed on Washington Island and had time to try a few places that were still open. SO glad we came here! We were able to use WiFi and get some work done as well as enjoy delicious soup and sandwiches and amazingly delicious gingersnap cookies! Extremely friendly owners and staff! Great deck and outside area. Beautiful view! Will definitely be back to enjoy Grammys Potato Soup! read more

We took a day trip to Washington Island and found this place for lunch. The best food! We got beer potato soup in bread bowl, quesadilla and a sandwich along with bumble pie. Bread was so good! The pie was e best ever I tasted. If this place is in Chicago area I would go every week. The young lady who was delivering the food to our table was impressive as well. Thank you all for your hospitality. read more
