I was skeptical, but I think this is my new spot. Worth every penny. I underestimated the salad bar and couldn't eat past two plates The food was delicious, the staff was friendly, the process is easy. If you love salads you will love this place. My favorite honestly was the alfrado. It reminds me of the hometown buffet's salad and soup bar back in the day...

Soup N Fresh nailed it with their soup and salad concept. This is one of two locations. The food was worth the price and our party of 3 ate until we were full. They have staff members who roam around constantly clearing dishes off the table to make room for more trips to the salad, soup bakery, and desert bar. I spent most of my time eating all the soups. The place was constantly full with a small line outside the restaurant. It shows that people love this place so much that they don't mind waiting. Wish they were closer.

I drove up from San Diego and I was so excited to see a modern fresh looking restaurant that is so incredibly nostalgic for me growing up with Souplantations down here in San Diego. The food was almost identical and in some cases I think it actually tastes better! I would say the only thing that seemed different was the dressing for the Chinese chicken salad. The dressing was a little bit more runny but it still tasted good. If you are a fan of Souplantation you need to go support this amazing business, they also just opened a location in Chino!

If you're in Rancho Cucamonga and craving variety, Soup ‘n Fresh is a hidden gem that delivers. The salad bar is incredibly impressive, offering an abundance of fresh toppings—everything from crisp cucumbers to roasted sunflower seeds, olives, cheeses, and more. You can customize your salad exactly how you like it. Beyond that, they offer a generous selection of soups—hearty, flavorful, and always hot. The baked potatoes are fluffy and warm, perfect with a scoop of sour cream or cheese. The mac & cheese and spaghetti are comforting and tasty, especially for families with kids. Don’t miss the dessert section—soft-serve ice cream and other sweets cap off the meal perfectly. The place is clean, the service is friendly, and the choices are unmatched for a buffet-style dining experience. It’s a perfect spot for a casual, satisfying meal that leaves you feeling both full and happy.

Souplantation was my go to growing up so I was super excited to try soup n fresh and it did not disappoint!! I did take off one star because the ice cream machine was out of order but the service was incredible especially for it being so busy. I couldn’t recommend it enough just be prepared to wait 30 minutes to an hour.
