The Soup Kitchen

Everything is so delicious, fresh and homemade. Best vegetable soup I've ever had! The ladies who work there are so sweet. We had a large group and they were very helpful and accommodating. Everyone in our group had delicious soup and sandwiches. I can't wait to go back again!

This restaurant has been a staple to the Oak Ridge community for several decades, and is worth checking out. The Food: Every day, they serve different styles of soup, sandwiches, salads, and desserts. During this visit, I tried the chicken & dumplings soup, with a side of brown bread, and lemon pie. The soup was incredible. Perfectly tender chicken, and good portions of it. Cracker Barrel ain't got nothing on this place. The brown bread also is worth getting. I've tried the white bread before, and it was okay but bland. The brown bread has so much flavor to it. Next time, I'll skip dessert though. I don't recommend it, unless you're into cafeteria style desserts. The Dining Area: A little awkward to navigate, but they have a decent amount of seating, and tons of historical decor on the walls about the Manhattan Project days. The place could use a facelift, but it's got plenty of charm, and feels cozy. The Staff: Very friendly, polite, and helpful. Restrooms: One for men and one for women. Seemed decently clean and well kept.

The lady was very helpful when navigating took us to the wrong spot (imagine that 🤣) our first time here! The chicken and dumplings is the best southern style chicken and dumplings I have ever had!! The chili is good! The white bread that is made fresh is amazing! The Mexican style cornbread is good, a tad dry for me but not everyone likes the way I like mine either so it’s just my opinion! Overall the service was great and the food we had was great as well! Thank you to the staff, well done!
