Rusty Ladle

Soups were still tasty, sandwiches were …ok, but they really need to make a change to the slow production. From ordering to getting our food, it took 24 minutes. Mind blown. Suggestions: 1. Get a bigger or add another panini grill. Move the ice machine somewhere else to make room for the sandwich making area. 2. Have people pick up their own order from the window and take it to their parklet seat, instead of the staff walking the length of the restaurant just to take the tray to their seats. Waste of valuable time. Or, cut the counter near the front so that it has one of those flip up counter and allows a person to go through. This is my 2nd time eating there, and the experience was so different. Staff was still nice, but they need to make a change to serve customers faster. I did

Overall the food was okay, certain dishes disappointed me more than others. The service was okay, they took my order and served me my food within a reasonable time frame. The atmosphere is by far my favorite part of this establishment. The indoor seating gave a cozy, diner feel and the outdoor seating included a beautiful view of the ocean. I wouldn’t come again for the food as the tomato soup was a bit watery,acidic, and honestly tasted like tomato juice more than tomato soup. The schmelty was one of the better dishes I tried. It was a bit melty, the chorizo was a bit bland （and hard), and the bread was mildly soft. La maginifca is a one and done sandwich. It was quite sour and I only tasted the olives. I could not taste the meat and the cheese was lukewarm at best. To be honest it was

Cozy, Delicious, and Super Satisfying Rusty Ladle SF totally hit the spot. We had their clam chowder and a sample of their tomato soup plus the inside out schmelty sandwich, and it was everything I wanted — warm, comforting, and packed with flavor. The chowder was just the right amount of richness, and the sandwich was perfectly toasted and satisfying. The place has a chill, welcoming vibe, and the staff was friendly and helpful. It’s the kind of place that feels like a local gem. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in the mood for a cozy, delicious meal.

The Rusty Ladle has completely won me over! Their soup selection is outstanding — there’s something for everyone, and you can taste the difference that fresh, quality ingredients make in every single bowl. The broths are rich and flavorful, and the variety keeps me coming back again and again. What really sets this place apart, though, is the staff. Friendly, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about what they serve — they make you feel like a regular from the moment you walk in. If you’re a soup lover (or even if you’re not yet), do yourself a favor and visit the Rusty Ladle. You won’t be disappointed!

The perfect place if you want soups. Very difficult to find such gems. Loved this place and atmosphere. We ordered the potato leek, tomato and the chicken soup. All 3 were great. They also have sandwiches which looked super tempting.
