Zoup! Eatery — Restaurant in Chicago

I really have no idea how this place has 4 stars, let alone 2. The food itself is underwhelming. Near cafeteria. Microwaveable. The bread. It’s kinda fluffy for the bread bowl but not that baked through and very starchy. The lobster soup was good but you really get so little for your money here. It was $33.33 for a bread bowl, served separately from the soup so you need to pour it in, 3 pretzel sliders (which have no salt and look nothing like advertised, very bland again and tiny), and a beer cheese soup that again is such a small portion. For the price is the real issue. This is not a $33 meal. Not even in the loop. $20 at best even with today’s inflation issues. This was honestly the worst lunch I’ve ever had in the loop, and I’m a pretty open minded easy to please guy. Subway would’ve been better. Panera bread. Try to skip this place unless something else on the menu is driving this places stars.

Oh, and it was supposed to be ready at 1:02 but took til 1:30. Lunch rush and the employees were very nice and hard working and anxious. They’re doing their best. Whoever is in corporate is causing these problems. I used to walk by the wells location after it closed with the sign still up wondering about this place. Now I know. I wish it wasn’t in the...

I ordered the Mexican Street Corn Grain Bowl as a takeout, and it was a complete disaster. The bowl was 80% plain spinach and lettuce, barely 10% rice and quinoa. The chicken pieces were literally white, not grilled, not seasoned, not cooked properly at all. People eat chicken for protein, not for a half-tablespoon of raw, rubbery bits. The description talks about a wholesome blend with grains, salsa, cilantro, and grilled chicken but there was none of that. The so-called corn and black bean salsa had maybe four or five beans total, and I couldn’t find even a trace of cilantro anywhere.

I even paid extra for avocado, and they gave me what looked like half a spoon of bland avocado paste. The whole bowl was bland, flavorless, raw meat and totally misleading. If I wanted a salad, I would have ordered a salad not a “grain bowl” that barely has any grains. For $15.86, this was an absolute waste. I don’t know about their soups or sandwiches, other food items but if you’re considering trying their bowls, save your money. Never...

I LOVE this place. Since this location is right across the street from my job, I have lunch here at least 3 times a week and the food is amazing every time. I normally get the choose two option. On a normal day I get a sandwich and soup, but when I am very hungry I get a salad and a sandwich, and still hardly ever finish everything. The salad is very filling. The staff is very friendly. I order online because their line can get very long during my lunch time at noon. I have never had any issues with my food not being ready when I order online. Everything I order is always freshly made by the time I pick up. You get to customize your meal, when you order online, and if you are a picky eater like myself, then this comes in very handy. I think the price is actually pretty reasonable, considering the portion sizes, especially if you select the try two option. If I see a new soup on their online menu for the day, then I wait in line and try it. You get to try as many soups as you like. Highly...
