GabrielleDecember 28, 2016Ok, worth the hype. Lobster bisque is life changing and the sausage and shrimp gumbo is firey and delicious.
Joao Veloso JrJune 13, 2019flavor is amazing and it might look small but a medium size soup feeds well. Cuban black beans and Italian ravioli are my favorite ones. this is the Seinfeld place made with new management and design
Erica van RabenswaaySeptember 24, 2014Get the lobster bisque! Most places seem to just drag a lobster claw through the soup for flavor. This has huge chunks of lobster. Yum!
RakanSeptember 4, 2019Man this small place can really make a soup.. I tried most there soups when I was there last november and boy was I impressed.. cold weather, hot to go soup.. which I enjoyed at central park.. wow 👍Upvoted Mar 11
Jas LFebruary 1, 2015Lobster roll was great! Didn't have lobster bisque that day so I got crab corn chowder instead. Still good.
stavroulaApril 20, 2017Amazing soups they also offer an Apple and croutons with your soup and some chocolate!!!very tasty!!highly recommended!!!
Danielle CarterOctober 23, 2011Lobster Bisque is amazing...yeah it's expensive for soup but totally worth it. There were some very large hunks of lobster in it..and it's a chunky soup..delicious!!!
Lauren DocktorNovember 10, 2017Best lunch deal around... $7 for a large soup, bread, piece or fruit and chocolate.- Elizabeth LeeOctober 8, 2016No soup for you! Famous from being on Seinfeld. Lobster rolls and their soup are pretty awesome too.
Rita LOctober 6, 2016Lobster roll is just ok... overrated and can't compare to other places. Corn shrimp soup is too sweet, pricey at $7 for a small/tiny cup
Alice MolinariJanuary 10, 2013Lobster bisque was way too good! I'm gonna be dreaming about it for the next few days. There was no line so they didn't have to go all nazi on me (I admit I was kind of disappointed about that, ha)
Diane ChangJanuary 31, 2012Lobster bisque! Tried the minestrone too but preferred bisque. Need to try the rest. Comes with bread, Lindt chocolate and an orange!
Adriana AlfonzoJanuary 10, 2015The lobster bisque is the best Soup ever! I've been craving for my next soup since the first time I tried it.
Haley JonesJanuary 27, 2013Best Italian wedding soup, hands down. And of course... The lobster bisque is chunky and delightful.- Cat LoNovember 11, 2012Get soup to go and walk north one block. Public seating / baby park area in front of chipotle
- Maureen KelleyMarch 18, 2012A piece of bread, a banana and a Lindt truffle come with you soup. I'll be back next time I'm in the area:)
Al's expanding out of the soup game and taking on the lobster roll trucks. Swing by and check out "Al's Famous Lobster Roll.". See for yourself how it compares to his lobster bisque.
Eric FormanJune 9, 2011Fastastic italian sausage soup. Big chunks of sausage as well as the spice you crave, even on a hot day.
They really do give you a hard time if you stand in the wrong place. I wonder if they actually care or are just trying to live up to the reputation.

Long before a certain show decided I was famous, I WAS famous. People wait for a reason. My recipes are my own. My rules are my own. My soup? For the world.
