Greta soup selection and apres ski 2/$5 beer on tap. Chicken green chili Moroccan chick pea lent

Awesome cheeseburger mushroom soup in a bread bowl
Ashley R.

I built this place up in my mind - probably too much so. Who doesn't lust after an amazing bread bowl of hearty soup for lunch after a solid morning on the slopes? So needless to say, I was salivating before I'd even taken my board off. I'm not sure why I was surprised at it being pretty crowded, but I was. My soup fantasy involved quietly sipping on a hearty chowder by a roaring fire. That did not happen. There were no seats left inside, so we sat outside (it was chilly, but not unbearable). Our soup took a while to arrive - I guess dipping a ladle into a pot is more delicate an art than I thought. It also proved to be very beneficial that we were hungry since the soup cools off pretty quickly when it's below 30F outside - of no fault of the restaurant. The soup we had was decent but nothing to write home about. And riddle me this - who serves soup out of a bread bowl that isn't sourdough?! Granted I'm not even a huge sourdough fan, but the shear physics of the concept of using plain white bread loaves left me puzzled. The bottom of the bowl became a gooey, mushy mess and if you order a thinner soup, you're bound to spring a leak before you even hit the bottom of the bowl unless you really chow down. So less talking and dreaming of a roaring fire... get to town draining that bowl before you end up with a mess on your hands.

Philly cheese soup

We had the best soup bowl and enjoyed with a local beer and it was divine! Such a great stop, so friendly, and the best soup I've ever had! Try the Philly cheese soup with a beer from the Peak!

This place has great soups! It's a small quiet place at the winter park village, great to stop by on after hitting the slopes. You won't get full with the soup, it's a small portion. We ordered the Chicken Green Chili and Chicken and rice, will definitely recommend. They were both fantastic, if they have it get the Chicken Green Chili. It's not what you would expect from a "Chili," it's mostly vegetables but beware it is spicy; has the perfect kick. Will definitely be back. The only negative is the same thing we are to expect from winter park, it's pricy for what you get. We spend $15 for two cups of soup and a fountain drink.

Stopped in for soup and sandwiches before heading out to do some hiking. The homemade chicken noodle soup was great and my girlfriend enjoyed the chipotle butternut squash since she's veggy. Nice owners and sweet location right in the village

It was delicious until we found the hair deeply embedded in our guacamole. Told the staff and they didn't seem to care.

The beer cheese soup here was fantastic. Great value for the food, especially considering it's at the WP base.

I can't comment on the food here because the non-service by the young staff behind the counter was so off putting we walked right out.
