We were looking for something light and casual, so browsed tripadvisor. My husband loves soup, so I suggested Revolutionary Soup. We did have a bit of a hard time finding it (it is in historic Charlottesville) but once we did, we were happy we didn' give up looking. It is casual, you order at the counter and choose from many...

Revolutionary Soup is located just off the down town mall, beside the Regal movie theater. They have a huge variety of scratch made soups, salads and sandwiches. Each soup order comes with a home made roll and an apple!

Incredible soups!!! They have one of the BIGGEST soup menus I've ever seen and they also offer delicious sandwiches and salads too. Great service! Vegan as well as "normal" selections and they are very helpful with suggestions and their menu. They offer samples to help you decide which soup you want to buy. All soups and sandwiches are made from... More

I absolutely loved the crab and corn soup, so much that on my return trip I drive out of my way to eat there for the third time. They also make great cornbread muffins with bacon and jalapeno bits. Yum!

I love the soup I make at home with fresh organic ingredients so finding a place that can top that is special. Revolutionary Soup on the downtwown is THE place to eat soup. Took my daughter and her boyfriend there last Sat. I ordered the curry carrot and sweet potato soup and it was excellent. Made my eyes water just... More

We were looking for a place that had vegan dishes and were extremely pleased when we discovered Revolutionary Soup! My children enjoyed everything we ordered.

Great food & Service. Just beware of your bill. They award themselves a 20% ...and it is painful afterwards to discover that the server does not inform you of their practice...and you find that 30%-40% of what you paid was for nothing but reasonable adequate service...for a great meal!

Was lured in by reviews of great vegan options but was a little disappointed by the menu once inside. The black bean wrap was good and the Spicy Senegalese soup was very tasty, but other than that there wasn't much to choose from. Still, worth a try.

Great local recommendation - loved the soup and sandwiches. A bit hectic to find seats during lunch time but well worth it. I would go back just to try more soups - so many to pick from. Highly recommend.

I've been to Rev Soup twice now. Everything I've had has been top-notch both times. The peanut tofu soup is delicious with just the right amount of spice. Tofu is sometimes mushy, but this tofu was firm and delicious. I've also tried the spicy lamb soup - outstanding, and the spice clears up whatever ails you. The house salad is... More
