While visiting the museum with out-of-town guests, we were grateful to have this excellent venue for lunch. The shop is counter service and fast. We had the box lunch special, which is a "pick two" deal and comes with a drink a cookie and a fruit. I had the smashed avocado pita with a bowl of soup, and my companions had two cups of soup and a turkey sandwich. The soups were fantastic! I also very much enjoyed my pita. Our chocolate chip cookies tasted homemade (delicious). The dining room is bright and well lit. There isa collection of unmatched tables and chairs, and parties are encouraged to share tables. It was very nice to eat from real ceramic plates and bowls, using metal utensils, instead of single use plastic. read more

Servers are as sweet and accommodating as can be. Dad's chili was most enjoyed item. No cold soups, only hot. Salads were fresh. Would have liked a choice of home made salad dressings for a little more punch (could have asked). Cookies too sweet - wish there were other dessert offerings. Rolls - no gluten-free offering. Bananas were the fruit of the day. Would have relished a fruit salad. Drinks - would have enjoyed a juice or juice blend. Place is noisy with cement walls, especially if there are kids around. Overall 5-star just for the existence of a place like Jenny's! read more

What a wonderful surprise inside Atlanta History Center! Food is mostly lighter fare of soups/salads, which is perfect snack while visiting the museum. My choice was the turkey chili which was wonderful, also had refreshing iced tea. Others in my group had the salads which they enjoyed. Service is simple where you order from the counter, get your order, grab a table to eat. Line at the counter can be long, but it moves quickly. Free WiFi here too. Nice decor and great location near the front of the museum. Additional recommendations: About 10 of us did 4 mile urban walk around this area with its immaculate homes/gardens. Also see my review of the Atlanta History Center for other tips. Our go to place when visiting the museum. Enjoy! read more

Souper Jenny - Chili - Sandwiches Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Favorite place in the whole world. Always a variety of soups, salads, sandwiches. The most pleasant service, they give samples and answer any questions. Super clean, I've been to almost every location and never had anything to complain about. read more

I've been wanting to try out Souper Jenny's for quite some time now, and I'm so happy I had the opportunity to this week because it was even better than expected! This location is actually inside the Atlanta History Center just to the left upon entrance, and also connected with Brash Coffee Shop. It's a beautiful space, with two-level seating options and great *free* wifi if you plan to get some work done during your visit like I did. There was quite a long line that began around Noon but it moved quickly and was well worth the short wait. Souper Jenny's is fast-casual where you order at the counter, and the soups/daily specials offered that day are written out on white boards leading up to the counter which is very helpful. They offered four different types of soups during my visit, and the Miso Lemongrass Chicken stood out to me the most and so I went with it! You can get a combo with two sides, or just order a la carte. They are obviously most well-known for their incredible homemade soups, but they also offer salads and sandwiches as well. I was also lucky enough to visit on a day where they were offering a BOGO deal for the soups in their refrigerator so of course I had to take advantage and grabbed a couple bowls of their chicken chowder soups to-go which I enjoyed reheated at home. It was honestly even more delicious than the miso! I know I will be back for another visit at this or another location in the city next time I am headed south towards the city! read more

I love that this place has different kinds of soups and they change it out! Such a comfort food for me. This one is located in the Atlanta History Center. Nice place to work from and a lot of seating, the soup was great! read more

Food: I had the chicken pasta salad, and half of the turkey and Brie sandwich. Both were quite yummy! The salad had great flavors, the pasta was cooked well, and the chicken was not dry at all. A little bit too much sun dried tomatoes for me, but also because I don't like tomatoes. The turkey in the sandwich with the jam and Brie was an excellent combo. I cannot remember if there was arugula in there (I think there was) but if not you should add some! The roll was good too, not dry and held together well. Service: They served everything in front of you and we had a nice lady check us out. The prices here were exceptional, I think we paid $30 for a sandwich, a pasta salad, roasted vegetables, a bag of chips, cookie, and a drink. Amazing deal. Atmosphere: I liked the laid back atmosphere, we stopped in for a snack while we were taking a break from the history center and took a minute to rest. I think that some people come here just for the food even if they weren't at the history center! Overall: Prices are great, food is decent, flavors are there, I would come here for lunch any day! And maybe I'll try their soup next time, you know, since it's "soup"er Jenny! read more

Always a joy to visit, staff a friendly, food is fresh and healthy, love the quirky decor and homey feel. Haven't visited a location I didn't like. read more

Popped in for lunch recently. There was a bit of a line, but it stayed moving. Grabbed a cup of broccoli cheddar and half a sando. The food was good on a brisk day, but the soup could have use more cheddar flavor. read more

was lucky enough to host an event with the amazing Atlanta History Center recently and while checking our wonderful guests in, I got to chatting with Laurie of AHC about Souper Jenny's which is located within the building. After seeing guests go in and out of their doors while sitting at the table and Laurie's reassurance that it was really as great as I have heard, I couldn't let the opportunity pass me. I arrived literally FIVE minutes before their Sunday closing time, lucky me! The cafe/restaurant was still buzzing with happy guests sipping coffee and slurping soup, I was tempted to stay and sit but exhaustion was kicking my butt. Although there was no more soup out for scooping, the team was loading up the display case with all types of soups and dishes. Yay! I struggled to find which soup flavor to go with but feel that I would have been happy with whichever I chose. I ended up going with the Mexican Street Corn soup which was still warm when I grabbed it. The cashier was so kind and the transaction smooth. I headed out to my car and I'll admit, I started digging in immediately. Y'all. When I say that was some of the BEST soup I've ever had??? I love a good chowder, stew, chili, all of the soups. And the flavor that took over my tastebuds was heavenly. When I say I can't wait to go back? Omg. Next time, I just wont be foolish and only walk out with one quart. I need a barrel next time! read more

I'm so sad I can't remember the name of my bagel sandwich, but it was a delicious homemade bagel breakfast sandwich - no complaints. We also got one of the special French toast to share. It was like a bananas, foster French toast very delicious was very full after eating both of these. Inside is like a upgraded deli. Service was fast and friendly. read more

Souper Jenny - Sandwiches Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Ok this is the place to go for lunch, hands down the cutest shop! The atmosphere and service is just amazing. They change their menu daily so sign up for the emails. Even if im not going in i read the email menu to see what kind of soups, salads, and sandwiches they can offer at another time. Theres jennys cookbooks and you can buy large soup to go in containers. Recommend to freeze and use at a later date if you really like it! I got the gazpacho which typically is my favorite and it was fresh. I couldnt eat the whole bowl because it was too much freshness for me! My husband got the turkey chili which they offer everyday on their menu- i think this is the one item that does not change. The outdoor seating is so calming and covered patio. A few steps away they have a massive garden! We spent honestly 30 minutes just walking around it and seeing all of their veggies they grow! Its a super cute lunch date spot and go earlier because they only make enough for the day! Such a sustainable concept. read more

Souper Jenny - Gazpacho - Sandwiches Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

This place is my favorite weekend routine, a stop here with their rotating menu of soups, sandwiches, and salad, with honorable mentions of their different fresh baked cookies. My boyfriend and I go frequently, and love trying a different soup each time, I think my favorite though was the chicken corn chowder. I appreciate that they give information on all dietary restrictions, and have the option for take home soups and I've even seen premade dinners for 4. The service is quick because they have all the soups available and sandwiches are premade ready to pass out, and they will even let you taste test most of the salads and soups! This location is specifically inside of a museum so the vibe is very family friendly and it is always busy! read more

Souper Jenny... oh how I've missed you! Back in Atlanta to visit after more than a decade, Souper Jenny was one of the places that my girlfriends and I knew we wanted to visit, and I am so glad we did. Souper Jenny was everything I remembered and more... super fresh and delicious soups, sandwiches and salads. Service with a smile, and just overall good vibes. I love this location at the Atlanta History Center... it has so much character. If I lived in the area, I would be eating here daily! read more

Supper Jenny is located inside the Atlanta History Center. They were very busy but the line went quick. There was plenty of seats in the dining area. The soup was delicious!! My husband and son both enjoyed their turkey sandwiches. 100/10 and "bussin" according to my son. It was really cold outside and the soup was perfect and warmed both my daughter and I up. read more

Souper Jenny has been an Atlanta institution for some time now... glad I finally got to taste the reasons why! Location and Parking Located in Buckhead inside the Atlanta History Center, parking is free. Venue and Atmosphere Lots of seating is available, however the line is nonstop so you will need to really look for a seat. The restaurant has plenty of natural light and a colorful quote from Jenny herself is painted on the wall. Service The staff was friendly and smiling the entire time. Food and Beverages I had the turkey chili and she crab soup; both were delicious and full of hearty flavors. I was not really a fan of the salmon BLT, the salmon lacked flavor and the sandwich would've been better if it was hot. Still, soups the name of the game here, and both the soups I ordered were excellent. The sweet tea is also yummy without being diabetic, for all you true Southerners out there. Verdict I'll be back to try some more soup, as their menu rotates often. read more

First time trying Souper Jenny yesterday and I am not impressed. The soup I wanted was sold out by the time I got there at 5:00 pm. I wanted to taste the Manhattan Clam Chowder since that was the only soup that sounded good to me but was told they don't give samples. I wanted to get a bowl of it but was told I would have to buy the quart ($17) since bowls were sold out as well. I didn't understand what she was trying to explain to me - something about it being past the to-go time or takeaway time. I bought the clam chowder and it was UNEDIBLE!! I kept chewing and chewing and chewing the clams and had to eventually spit them out. I spent the rest of the time picking through the soup - never again will I go to a place I can't taste the soup before. The mushroom Reuben was okay. read more

Selective enforcement of "policies." When I addressed the owner directly, she was incredibly rude and condescending. Horrible experience and worse customer service. read more

This is just a satellite Café. The 4 sandwiches that they had were premade and so were the soups. The staff was very unfriendly. The sandwich was horrible. The vegetable soup was good. I definitely will not be going to this location again. I think it's just somewhere that's inside the Atlanta History Center to go if you're absolutely starving. read more

Ive never left a bad review for a restaurant but I felt this was justified. me and my daughter had 2 bowls of soup, 2 grilled cheese, and 2 small soft drinks. That was $45 seriously? even my daughter looked at me and said we could've made this at home. Taste was average. I think soup at Olive Garden is better. Way over priced. Im marking them off my list read more

I got the $18 lunch combo and let me tell you I was full. It came with a whole sandwich, whole soup, peanut butter cookie, banana, and a drink. (Girlie the banana was perfectly ripe and my friend insisted that I included that in the review). Also, the people who work there are souper nice and friendly! The vibe was giving farmer and we love that. Plus, I saw that they own a farm behind the restaurant! read more

While overall their food is always very good, I was offended by an undisclosed credit card charge at the Saint Phillips farmers market on Saturday morning. Eight dollar item got rung up at $9.80. When I asked about what the credit card fee is, I was told it was $.80 which amount to 10%! I see where they're making a nice hefty profit on credit card charges too. Offensive and also undisclosed. read more

How does a chain vary so much from place to place? I assume the food at the SJ in Brookhaven is made at a central kitchen. That said, I was disappointed with my lunch. And I love the Souper Jenny in Buckhead at the Historical Society. The soup there is always hot and the sandwiches tasty. And it has a lovely venue for enjoying the meal. Brookhaven is crowded, the seating limited, and the soup more often than not is lukewarm. read more

My sister has bragged about this place for years and I've finally crossed it off the list. It seems the menu changes daily, I was hoping to get Broccoli & Cheese but it wasn't on the menu. I ordered Cauliflower Parmesan and Chives, Dad's Turkey Chili and Thai Noodle soup. The soup were tasty. I'd visit again in the future. With your combo you get a roll, cookie, fruit and a drink. Fairly good deal, made me feel like I was winning. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout the line. This location is inside The Atlanta History Museum and shares a space with a coffee shop which gives me college cafeteria vibes. It wasn't extremely noisy, but more space is needed for customers waiting in line to not be standing over customers while the eat at tables. Kinda tight near the entrance. read more

Very good! Dined here while visiting the museum it's located in, and was definitely worth the wait in a long line. Had visited the Roswell location many times so had high expectations. The day I visited they had a Greek Chicken & Vegetable Soup that was still my favorite thing I've had at Souper Jenny to this day. Would definitely dine here again! read more

I'm a fan of Souper Jenny's healthy soups, salads, and sandwiches made with fresh, seasonal, and locally-grown ingredients. There should be more of these types of restaurants. This is a small Atlanta chain with four locations: Buckhead (this location), Brookhaven, Westside, and Decatur. I had no idea Souper Jenny's Buckhead location moved inside the Atlanta History Center until a recent visit. Souper Jenny's old Buckhead location on East Andrews Drive closed on March 26, 2016 and this current location opened inside the History Center on April 2, 2016. It's an excellent addition to the History Center, a venue which I love (I'm getting married here). Souper Jenny is located next to the main entrance to the History Center. It has its own entrance. You can also enter the restaurant from within the History Center and from the History Center's bookstore and gift shop. The restaurant has a really nice multi-level space that is shared with Brash Coffee (opened January 2018). The interior sports two-story-high floor-to-ceiling windows with an open, communal, bookstore-type feel. The atmosphere is casual, relaxing, and roomier than the other Souper Jenny locations I've been to so far (Brookhaven and Westside). It's a great lunch spot. The restaurant's menu constantly changes. They always have a small variety - about a dozen selections at any given time - of interesting and nutritious soups, salads, and sandwiches (and sometimes more) with more hot soups during the wintertime and more cold soups in the summer. A few examples of menu items from the day we visited include an artichoke, spinach, and blue cheese soup, a jeweled quinoa salad with grapes, cranberries, arugula, mint, basil, and white balsamic, and a warm turkey meatloaf sandwich with Havarti cheese and Sriracha aioli. Pricing during our visit was as follows: Soup - cup/bowl/quart - $4/$7/$12 Salad - half/full - $4/$7 Sandwich - $7 (peanut butter and jelly $6) Iced tea, soda, bottled water - $2 Lunch combo - $14 (any two menu items plus a roll, fruit, cookie, and drink) You stand in line to order and plates are prepared in assembly line fashion. You can see and even taste the food before deciding what to order. One thing I like about Souper Jenny is you are free to sample most of the menu items. I've always ordered the $14 lunch combo at Souper Jenny. Here are the combos we went with this time: * Spicy avocado and cucumber soup, avocado stuffed with tuna salad, roll, fruit (banana), cookie, and drink * Chilled cantaloupe gazpacho with Paleo chopped salad with butter lettuce, radicchio, veggies, and avocado dressing, roll, fruit (banana), cookie, and drink In general, the food was fresh and delicious. I enjoyed everything. The spicy avocado and cucumber soup was particularly flavorful and refreshing. It was addictive. The avocado stuffed with tuna salad was fairly straightforward. What I appreciated about Souper Jenny's tuna salad was it wasn't too mayonnaise-heavy. It was also nice and chunky. Admittedly, I didn't like the chilled cantaloupe gazpacho as much as I thought I would. The spicy avocado and cucumber soup was definitely better. However, the gazpacho wasn't bad. It was light and could have used more flavor. The Paleo chopped salad was yummy. The colorful veggies were cool and crisp and the avocado dressing was quite tasty. The rolls and bananas were standard. The bananas were ripe and I noticed Souper Jenny had two brands for the taking from the fruit basket: Chiquita and Dole. The cookies were outstanding. Souper Jenny's cookies are underrated. Service was great. The staff was polite and efficient. They moved our Monday lunch crowd along at a brisk pace. Itemized receipts via the Breadcrumb POS system can be emailed to you via Upserve (formerly Swipely). The Atlanta History Center has plenty of free parking in a deck next to the building. read more

5 out of 5. No notes. Soups: great Sandwiches: great Salads: great Cornbread: yep! Service is also very efficient and the employees are helpful and friendly. read more

Quick recap: - Food: Good - Portion size: Average - Service: At the counter, Nice - Environment: Fast casual. - $: Average - Perks: the nice little bread rolls More details: We went there for lunch. The place looks like a food court: it shares the seating area with a coffee, and has an open wall with a library/book shop. The soups were really good, the salad was good. The combo was priced fairly ( around $10 I think). The cup of soup, regardless of the soup, is $4. It is a small serving, but good. The staff was nice. Overall? Good food. Nice casual place. Nice staff. Priced fairly. read more

Wonderful lunch spot! Souper Jenny is located inside the History Center on West Paces Ferry. It's a delightful spot with all the windows around the eating space to have a lot of natural light streaming in-- great location to meet up with friends in the Buckhead area. They have a $16 lunch combo where you can choose two of their $8 items (either soup, salad, or sandwich) and it comes with a cookie (chocolate chip or another flavor they have), plus a drink! I ordered a turkey sandwich with their chicken soup. The soup also came with a roll. The soup was so delicious and served at a nice warm temperature. My sandwich was also warmed and tasted with a sweet tinge since there was sliced apple in there. Finished off with my chocolate chip cookie (standardly delicious!) and sweet tea. The employees behind the counter were very nice and efficient in taking everyone's orders. Would come again! read more

My friend and I went to the History Center for the morning and early afternoon. We planned to eat lunch and expected to pay a huge price for "museum" quality food (aka concession stand) but we were presently surprised to find the cute restaurant Souper Jenny inside the museum. The line was long (which means it was good!) but it moved quickly. The food choices sounded so delicious that we had a hard time deciding what we wanted. The staff was also extra friendly! The pick two combo (2 for $18) seemed pricey to us at first but when we got our food and saw how much there was for the cost, we decided it was a pretty good deal. And the food...oh wow!! It was delicious! You can tell that they use fresh ingredients. We are too far to visit this location again but we plan to give the Roswell location a visit soon!! Thanks Souper Jenny for wrapping up our fun visit to the History museum nicely. read more

Hands-down one of the most comfortable public spaces I've recently spent time in: nice and clean without feeling soulless or clinical, and eclectic without being random or jarring to the senses. SJ may warrant a four- or five-star review at some point, but I think much depends on the day and time you visit. On this day, there weren't any sandwich options I was really into, and at this time (2p), the soup and hot sandwich I ordered were served lukewarm (and the bread was no longer fresh). Also, I have an issue with the pricing. A soup and sandwich is $11, so about $3 more than you'd spend at, say, Panera. There's a $14 special that includes a larger soup along with a drink, cookie, and fruit, and that's a good deal, but it's also too much food, so... In any case, I'll be back soon (and will check out the museum next time as well!). read more

Souper Jenny - Great space! - Sandwiches Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I would give this place 10/10 stars if I could. I had just landed in Atl and even though it was humid (as always) I landed in this random soup shop that was connected to a coffee shop. Naturally I had to try both. I went with My Dad's turkey chili which was amazing. When I eat soup, I want it to be filling and don't want to feel hungry after an hour. Chili was a great choice. It was well seasoned and so tasty! I also got a 1/2 rice salad on the salad that had grapes, pistachio, Farro, and other tasty ingredients. I was teleworking in the spot & waited out the lunch rush, but from the time they opened for lunch at 11 until around 2, the line stretched out the door! I was finally able to get my food without a wait at 2pm, so beware if you're in a rush. You will definitely have to wait for your food! But it was fantastic! read more

This was a pleasant surprise when my partner and I decided to have an afternoon visiting the Atlanta History Center. We were in a mood for a snack after seeing the center and decided to share the lunch combo. Great serving of cauliflower soup (yummy and creamy) with a turkey sandwich, a banana, a roll, and a delightful chocolate chip cookie. Everything was delicious! Delicious can only get better when it's matched with friendly customer service and the company sharing the meal. The seating was friendly and comfortable. What a great place to get away for individual working area with a low vibe atmosphere. I'm interested to try the catering service. read more

I was looking for a soup place near my work, this place popped up on my search. The location is very beautiful, a bowl of soup and a salad for $20 nice service, fast and friendly, the soup was hot and delicious, daily choice of 3 soups and 3 salads to pic from. I would go there again. read more

Conveniently located right by the Atlanta History Center! They also have a grab n go station if you are on the run so "souper" convenient! We ordered the lunch combo which includes two items from the menu, bread, cookie, fruit, and a drink. That totals to $14 which was pretty worth it but the portions are rather small. We got the Italian lentil which was perfectly seasoned and the BLTA (A for avocado). I also decided to try the pimiento cheese at the grab and go card but the small tub was $9 so it was on the pricy side. Servers were all very nice and willing to substitute the any item for another. The drinks and cookie were on the honor system by the cash register and I have to say, I have never had such a delicious cookie before (or I was really hungry). Overall, great and healthy food! read more

This is probably my favorite lunch place - you can't go wrong here. The sandwiches, soups and salads are FRESH and healthy, and delicious!

I've never had a bad meal here and I've been to at least three locations. Safe bet for a delicious lunch! read more
