I’d really like to love RevSoup and eat there weekly, but I just can’t — and the reason why is that, almost every single time I’ve been there (avg. twice a year for the past 5 years), the wait has been EXCRUCIATINGLY slow.
I realize the machinized efficience of Bodo’s may be an improbably high standard to hold folks to, but I’ve often had to wait up to THIRTY OR FORTY MINUTES for a simple Soup & Sandwich (and not during peak business hours, either). That’s shockingly unreasonable, by any measure.

They have Revolutionary Soup on their delivery list,, among many other local food sources. We love using them, and getting a quart of the Rosemary Potato soup for the week brought to the house.

@ James. Same for me. The soup is great, but not 45 minutes great. I am reminded by a Seinfeld episode…
