I usually don't have anything bad to say about Hale & Hearty. I love this place because their soup always tastes great and their sandwich/salad and soup deal is unbeatable. Unfortunately, because there's a ton of these places within a 10 block radius, I wouldn't go to the GC location ever again.
I'm not exactly sure, but I think they have much fewer selections than the regular brick-and-mortar stores. Of course, the soup tastes the same – which is what I usually aim for, but there just didn't seem to be as many sandwiches as I'd expected. Also, lining up is different from the stores and everyone seemed confused and piled up on top of each other.
I guess the one good thing about eating in GC is the vast amount of seating they have, but even then – it may be hard to find a seat.
The soups are ok, but I never really want more than one or two of them. It's nice that they let me taste, but nothing is ever SO DELICIOUS that I have to have it. Also, what's up with the prices? The small is so tiny and not worth the exorbitant amount they're charging. Finally, they've sent me away without a spoon before. Does eating soup without a spoon on a Metro-North train sound like fun to you? Because that's not my idea of a good ride.
Thanks to Eric K. for introducing me to H&H years ago. I come here 1-2x a week for lunch. The flavor selection is great , soups are filling and the sourdough bread is my favorite. Agree w/ other reviews on price, but apparently I keep coming back so whatever.
Watch the nutritional information on these soups. Sure, that's a soup you just ordered, but guess what? Macaroni cheese bacon soup is going to be just as bad for you as macaroni and cheese with bacon. I like the spicy vegetarian soups and the cream of chicken with orzo and chicken if it's gloomy outside.
