Jackson Harbor Soup - French Onion Soup - Sandwiches Near Me - Washington Island, Wisconsin

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Really great food... faster service!!! Nice place on the water!! (Also had Wi-Fi!! ) We had the whole family fed in short order! Great stuff on the menu--highly recommended if you're on the northeast side of the island! 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

Jackson Harbor Soup - Restaurant with a view. And outstanding soup and sandwiches!!! - Sandwiches Near Me - Washington Island, Wisconsin

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

we went to Jackson Soup on a tip from a friend. What a wonderful place, We had 4 different sandwiches and soups and they were fresh and extremely tasty. We also enjoyed the pleasant personalities of all the people we met there.Our friends bought more soup to go to enjoy the next day read more

Tuesday, Aug 17, 2021, 11:40 AM The Jackson Soup has been recommended by several people over the past week while in the area. Normally an 11:40 seating would be ahead of the rush but not here. There was a twenty five minute line to ORDER and the food wasn't ready for another twenty five. Two orders for the Pick Two option on soup and 1/2 sandwich: Ginger Carrot / Cubano and Beer Cheddar / Pesto Chicken. Hint of carrot flavor was as good as it got in the soup category. The sandwiches appeared to have fresh quality bread and garnish but generally lacked flavor. It really didn't warrant the time for the lunch. I can pack sandwiches this good and have lunch in less than an hour and a half. Serving times are an operational issue that a good manager can solve. For a place that embraces soup as a namesake, they desperately need to improve the soup quality. read more

Holy Cow! I had to go all the way up to Washington Island in Door County to find the best of the BEST! We took a ferry over to the island and had no data for GPS and happened upon this cute little place. The views are amazing and I appreciated the fireplace on a cold fall day. Everyone was so friendly. Then came the food....AMAZING! I did a soup and half sandwich combo. The Reuben was quite literally the finest I ever had. Most places skimp on the Thousand Island dressing and it ends up dry - not here! The bread was lightly toasted and the corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss and dressing were balanced and delicious! I opted for the French onion soup, which was a good choice - lots of yummy croutons and Swiss cheese melted over a thin herby broth with lots of onions. And just when I thought I died and went to heaven, out came the cherry pie. Now cherry pie is a staple of the Door County area, but this one I had was exceptional due to the flaky buttery crust. It's the finest one I've had up here! I wish I could give this place more than five stars! read more

Would have loved to have eaten there but the line was 40 deep and it was moving 1 party every 10 minutes. Left and got sandwiches elsewhere, immediate service and was great. read more

Really wanted to try this place as we looked over the menu, but I didnt have any cash on me and their credit card machine was down and they weren't taking plastic. Usually, I completely understand, but I have to ding the place as we didnt know this until after we sat down, contemplated the menu for 10 minutes or so and then went up to order where they had a small sign up at the cash register. There should have been a sign right as you walked in so that people dont waste so much time before realizing they cant eat there. I'd love to try their food, but Washington Island isn't something you just do on a whim; for me it's a 3 hour car ride, a 30 minute ferry ride then another 10-15 drive just to get there. read more

Great place to eat after returning on the Rock Island ferry. Chicken and pesto sandwich was delicious. Plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy the ambience. read more

Fantastic food served in hearty portions! The staff was friendly and the view was wonderful- a must-visit on Washington Island. I had the combo with the garden salad and JH-sub-a-drift and enjoyed it outside! read more

So if your name is "soup" , you would think that the place offers amazing soup. Nope! Average soup? Nope! Terrible soup? Bingo! Ordered the Broccoli cherry soup. Sounded interesting so I ordered that with a Dagwood sandwich and a slice of cherry Pie. The cream based soup was separated, thin as water literally, and no clue how cherries were involved. No sight, smell or taste of cherries in the soup. Just straight up terrible soup. The sandwich however was amazing. Fantastic bread with top quality meats. The sandwich was good enough to deserve forgiveness for the soup, if the place was not named "Soup". The cherry pie was amazing as well. In summary, I recommend they just stop serving soup and change their name, then they have everything else perfect! read more
