Can Soup 'n Fresh live up to the legacy of Souplantation? Now near Los Angeles, California

[@kirbyesque]

Oh I miss Souplantation - so nostalgic! Need to make a trip out there soon!

[@basslife2248]

I’m so happy that somebody is reviving the idea of souplantation

[@primetraveltime]

Great place. I missed it so much. Hope it sticks around!

[@baalmoloch4933]

I loved Souplantation! Start with a huge salad, then as many bowls of clam chowder as I could hold. I'm definitely going to check this place out.

[@KingfisherTalkingPictures]

We used to have Fresh Choice in Northern California. We miss it so much. I hope they bring one up here.

[@hooliganzeke6449]

I worked at Souplantation...good company and good food!

[@winnmiller6012]

REALLY hope this restaurant makes it. (And that they take over where my old Souplantation was in Torrance...🎉🎉🎉☺️🥰😋!!!l).

[@MrWeliz]

Same here , there was one near me here in Hacienda Heights the building is still there name and all .

[@winnmiller6012]

@MrWeliz Best of luck with getting your restaurant back...😍🤩😍!!! Always LOVE a good salad bar place...☺️😋🤩!!!

[@Annette_Hons]

Oh yes!! they need to come back to Las Vegas! Miss that place so much!

[@ignazio5]

Nicely put together review. Looks like it’s worth a visit! Loved the “we’re at soup and fresh” blooper 😊

[@TravelDude2000]

Another great vid. I miss Souplantation and definitely need to check this out. Also just watched your Petersen Museum tour which was amazing. Keep them coming!

[@primetraveltime]

Will do, thanks!

[@missiletm]

Did they have Tuna Tarragon? That was my all time favorite at Souplantion

[@primetraveltime]

Pretty sure they did. There were so many options and couldn't get through everything.

[@Matthew-e2c]

Great video. ❤

[@ArtamStudio]

OMG this is fantastic news! Looks like they're doing great business, too. Hopefully this will enable them to expand all the way to Northern Calif!

[@timothymccleary2418]

I live in Corona, didn't know they had this Soup and Salad place in Rancho

[@robertawyatt9246]

The food here was great. The only drawback is the lines to go in wrap around the outside of the building, making for a long wait. Even with such a high constant demand they can still keep up the quality and taste of the food. Hopefully more will open in other abandoned Soup Plantation restaurants.

[@delawrenceblue6936]

Looks great 🎉

[@georgewbushcenterforintell147]

We used to eat soup plantation after church . First place i remember they had a guy that would cook you fresh Alfredo pasta with chicken.

[@susanlyon1972]

Souplantation is still vacant in Lakewood...hope they come here.

[@kimberlylovestotravel]

In Utah they have a Dollys it’s exactly like Soup Plantation/Sweet Tomatoes

[@themowk]

Gotta come back to Carlsbad! We miss you soooo much!!

[@brandonperlow9091]

Id bring a bowl to mix the salad. Hate having piles not properly mixed

[@juttahildebrandt3572]

Sounds delicious. I would like to try it. Is it a fixed price for everything?

[@primetraveltime]

Yes! Definitely need to check it out

[@brianshaw373]

Looks exactly like and so is the review.

[@MrWeliz]

Did i miss the price?

[@primetraveltime]

Yes, I included the receipt. Around $20 with a drink after taxes

[@jimcirile]

Wow I'm in LA and this is almost worth the drive

[@frankzito8653]

Seems perfect for lunch. A small soup, a giant salad, and something yummy for dessert. I'd probably avoid the pastas and focaccia.

[@1Sakks0]

I have been whinning about the closure of Soupplantation since they closed & most recently last week. I really need a siup place in the real Los Angles not Rancho.

[@debbiem6406]

Come to the westside!! Rancho Cucamonga is too far.

[@Dadzilla2]

Great way to load up on carbs

[@fnaright]

Have FUN standing in line for over an hour. I live up the street from that madhouse. You'd think the place would be giving away free food with the amount of sheep that line up there every single day. C'mon people, it's fuggin soup and salad for cryin' out loud. People are weird. Waiting in line like lemmings.

[@Matthew-e2c]

Same with in and out though it's not that great

[@megacoraltree576]

I hope someone gives you a hug today

[@fubar1872008]

They did not go out of business due to COVID. They were struggling before COVID. They might try to use that as an excuse but that's not the reason. I went there my whole life. They closed because slow business. They could have set up outside dining and had waiters do it for them but they didn't. Instead they decided to close. Not do the COVID do to mismanagement. Is they even got a grant by the state to stay open and pay their employees but they didn't do it they took the money and ran.

[@primetraveltime]

Interesting. I stated what I read. Maybe COVID was the nail in the coffin of an already declining business. Still disappointing either way Thanks for the clarification

[@binki611]

Rancho Cucamonga is NOT Los Angeles.

[@joerubalcava11]

He never said it was in Los Angeles. He said where it is located based from LA. At the end, he said if you’re in Los Angeles come out and try it. That’s because it not that far from Los Angeles.

[@mel_b909]

we don't WANT or NEED to be a part of Los Angeles!! I believe people are moving here from LA not the other way around . 💯

[@jaypsych1806]

No meat, no way :(

[@primetraveltime]

It would be so much more expensive with meat offerings. Price was good and you can still get your protein. You'll be fine 😊

[@MrJ-dc3yz]

$22 for rabbit food? Should be $10, can't charge money for no meat. How did you get it for free?

[@georgewbushcenterforintell147]

Even deer need to eat rabbits and birds ,small animals to grow the best antlers and get to mate more ,spreading their gene seed .

[@user-hk3nq4sd4s]

Nothing will ever live up to Fresh Choice

[@bigguy5361]

Golden corral is much better value

[@TRMV]

Ummm get your facts straight, soup plantation does not have a location in Az. That would be Sweet Tomatoes, which has one location in Tucson. Owned by the same corporation, but at least acknowledge that it’s sweet tomatoes.

[@primetraveltime]

Ok

[@gregg5958]

If it’s the same corporation, other than name, what’s the real difference?

[@lalifromcali6439]

Absolutely not L.A.

[@primetraveltime]

Rancho Cucamonga is in San Bernardino county, which is considered part of "Greater Los Angeles" or the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area according to the US Office of Management and Budget. Since a lot of people outside of California or the US haven't heard of San Bernardino County, I included it for visiting purposes.

[@lalifromcali6439]

@primetraveltime I don't need a lesson plan here. Thank you. I am a local. It's still isn't LA. Lol. And I do like your review. Don't get your panties in a bunch. Hehehe

[@joerubalcava11]

He never said it was in Los Angeles, he said where it was based from LA. You need to actually listen to what he said.

[@MrWeliz]

@@joerubalcava11 Thank you , people need to open their ears .

[@darrenhankner5282]

over $20 for salad bar and a drink? yikes. soup plantation was much cheaper. I'll stick with the $12 bigger plate at Panda Express. $23 for rabbit food. For $20 you can come out to the casino's all you can eat buffet here in san Bernardino county. with tons of meat options.

[@gregg5958]

You cannot legitimately compare the prices of a business that closed years ago, with one open today with today’s inflation and higher wages. Souplantation would be around the same price by now too. It’s worth it as you can go back for more. Better than paying $15-20 bucks for one sandwich like some places charge these days. Or the crazy money people spend doordashing eveything like my neighbors do.

[@deee7087]

$20 salad no thanks

[@Riptionator]

Did you actually watch the video or did you miss the potatoes, pasta, soup, ice cream, muffins and pizza he showed? You're either just trolling or you have ADD.

[@deee7087]

@Riptionator I watched it. I'll pass.

[@gregg5958]

@@deee7087Then you don’t know what you’re missing. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@deee7087]

@@gregg5958 I know exactly. I used to go to Souplantation, but only when it was under $10. I'd rather get a sirloin steak for $20.

[@TRMV]

Legacy? Soup Plantation failed miserably 😂!

[@fubar1872008]

If you consider being around for 40 years before they close felling miserably. I wonder what you consider your life......

[@tonimccoy9442]

It tastes awful! No flavor whatsoever tastes like a 5-year-old put it together

[@tundraboomer3372]

Souplantation was disgusting.

[@Riptionator]

Why watch the video then?

[@gregg5958]

My location was always great and busy. 🤷🏻‍♂️
