I ordered the "stagestop" which is a sliced roasted chicken, bacon, cheese, lettuce, onion and barbecue sauce sandwich served on a braided scali roll. It was great! Not too big and not too small either made with quality ingredients. The sauce tasted homemade and not really like barbecue but I really enjoyed it! My husband ordered the "pilgrim" and raved about how much he loved the bread. I would definitely order from here again if I'm ever back in the area! :)

The insides is quaint and has limited seating, but we made it work (since the weather was looking like a storm was on the way). I went with the Lobster Newbury which had great flavor, but not much lobster (I would still get it again). It was a perfect tempature and so comforting! It's not a soup variety I had tried before! My friends got the chicken pot pie, clam chowder, and I think someone got the veggie soup - everyone finished their entire portion and liked their choice! It's a great spot for a casual lunch or a lite mid day meal!

It's open Monday through Friday from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM and Saturday from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM. My friends and I were looking for a quick midday snack, and the chilly weather narrowed our cravings fast. Soup seemed like the perfect way to warm up. We all opted for the chicken pot pie, packed with chicken, potatoes, onions, peas, and carrots. While it was tasty, it didn't stand out, and even with the complimentary bread, the portion felt small for the price.

This bartender paid so much attention to either regulars or her friends at one end of the bar. Keno players were definitely a priority, too. Hubby's pork chops were a miss, very bland.

Anyway, we love to sit at a bar, usually better and quicker service, not tonight, not impressed with this bartender. Sadly, we won't return.

I'm driving and on a work call but all I'm thinking about is my Clam Chowder. Mmmm... Freshly shucked clams with oyster crackers! Give it to me now! I have a parking spot right in front and I'm scanning the soup board. There's no clam chowder listed? I approach the counter and ask the woman about Clam Chowder. A guy wearing a Red Sox Hat said to me, we only clam chowder on Thursday. We have Corn Chowder today. The woman behind the counter shakes her head in agreement. It's very good! I agree with them, I grab my corn chowder and head to a Tesla charging station in Rhode Island. Once I plug in the Tesla, I open my container of hot soup. The Corn Chowder is good! Very creamy and dreamy. Is it Clam Chowder? No. I kinda feel the same way when the Red Sox lose to the Yankees. So close. So close! Haha

Destination Soup is a small venue, but it's BIG quality and taste…read more Our first visit to Destination Soup was confusing with all the hustle and bustle around the ordering/pickup counter, and I was totally unprepared to order. But the kind counter worker helped me thru it. Our meals were great! G ordered the Wunderkind Salad with Tuna Salad. The counter worker said it was the healthiest salad in town . G said it was one of the best salads ever. I had a grilled cheese sandwich and a bowl of tomato soup (finally). And I loved it -- thick, rich, and tasty. But next time... a cup of soup and a mini sandwich.

The menu was large but not overwhelming and I appreciated the decor and music the restaurant was playing. Our waitress was friendly and checked on us frequently. Our food also came out very quickly and the prices were reasonable with two ramens and two pots of tea being $47. I had the tonkatsu ramen which was very good. The portion sizes were very generous. Seriously, it felt like they gave us a pound of noodles alone. The pork tasted great along with the bamboo shoots, mushrooms, sprouts, and even some pickled ginger. If I had one criticism it's that I wish the broth was a bit more flavorful. It wasn't bad by any means but I'm used to ramen broth having a bigger depth of flavor. Definitely a good place to try out though and I definitely would go back again!

I've been visiting this place for many years, sometimes quite regularly indeed. The soup never, and…read moreI mean never, disappoints. If you love soup, pay them a visit ASAP, even if it's a bit of a drive for you. The chili? Excellent. The chicken noodle? Sublime; it's mild yet flavorful, which is a tricky thing to pull off. They offer at least eight soups per day, so you'll always find something for you. The french rolls you get with your soup complete the meal; I shove my roll into the bowl, load it up with broth, and take a bite. Delicious! Where you have to be careful is with the other stuff they offer here. The store is loaded with other things like desserts, salads and sandwiches. These are hit-and-miss. The sandwiches are all pre-made, cold and frankly nothing special. They offer a spicy pasta salad that simply doesn't work. (I've never tried a spicy pasta dish that I liked.) The potato salad is fine. I've been told the tuna salad is okay. If you're in doubt, skip the other stuff and stick to the soup. The soup really IS the star of this place.

"My grandma she can make a soup With a little a this 'n that…read moreBut with grandma cookin no need to worry! Just a little a this 'n that" (Pete Seeger) My final review of 2022 will describe the worst customer service we encountered all year. We had an errand to run in Sturbridge and figured we'd include a lunch stop in town. The Yelp app brought us to Soup to Nuts. #1) I love soup and #2) it's located inside the Sturbridge Marketplace, so we figured we'd do some shopping and browsing too. When we approached Soup to Nuts we saw a sign that said they opened at 11:00. The front door had another sign that said they opened at 12:00. Since the door was locked, and it was about 11:30, we figured we'd check out the Sturbridge Flea Market and come back. At 12:02 their front door was unlocked, and the sign announcing the 12:00 opening was gone. As we entered the restaurant, we were "greeted" by four words spoken (or more accurately snarled) in a very gruff and rude manner - "we're not open yet". Tone of voice matters, and I will look you straight in the eye and put my hand on a stack of bibles and tell you his tone was beligerant and angry (to the point of aggressive). It was beyond rude. It was shocking. So we turned around, left and never came back. Happy New Year ya filthy animal.
