   Food was excellent. Went on a busy day so the service quality was understandable.

   The food and service were equally excellent. I normally do Italian dining on Mother's Day; however, I decided to change up and was pleasantly surprise. I will venture to Sophie's again for the food.

   Great food and service. It’s a byob. There’s a store conveniently few doors over that sales libations. Great music. All around good spot and it’s barbecue is the best I’ve had since leaving Richmond, Va. Sophie’s BBQ is a highly recommended venue in my book. We will be sure to revisit! Lastly, make sure you try the Mac and Cheese! Not a regret! 🥄🥄🥄🥄🥄

    A very nice casual dining experience with an attentive staff. Only suggestion would be to change the music to something more suitable to the patrons enjoyment. Will definitely go back again.

    Anniversary dinner in Wednesday night. Decor was great and felt cozy! Our server did a great job selling the food. Definitely lived up to the hype. The chicken sandwich, Mac & cheese, and wings are why I will be back!

    Vibe was awesome and staff was super nice. Waited about 40 minutes for main course even though there were only a handful of tables seated. The coleslaw was awesome as was the white bama sauce but meat and fries were over cooked to the point That food tasted mostly like grease. I had high hopes-

    This was my and my husband's first time at Sophie's and once we just looked at the menu we knew were going to come back--so many good things to choose! And once we actually ate the food, it was a no-brainer. Definitely would recommend. And the sweet potato hush puppies...I could eat those for dessert all the time!

    Food took 37 minutes from the time I ordered to the time it came to my table. When the food arrived, it was basically room temperature. I had to wait 5 minutes for the waitress to come check on us, I then told her that the food wasn't hot at all. She took my food back to be warmed up. 10 minutes later, my food came back the exact same as I gave it to them. So, I just got the food wrapped up and brought it home. Warmed it up the next day and the food was tasty. From now on, if I order from there, I will do takeout only. There is absolutely no reason for an entire platter to come out room temperature TWICE!

    We arrived for our reservation and were seated immediately. Decor was really beautiful and the food smell delicious. Our reservation was a Thursday evening at 6:30pm. We watched them fill pickup order after pickup order. After we ordered we were informed they were out of pulled pork, ribs and brisket. Pretty much all of their BBQ meats! Not planning to return any time soon. We left and had a delicious dinner at La Cabra Brewing Smokehouse in Bryan Mawr.

    Food was outstanding for the genre. Service was a bit slow and at times inattentive. Restaurant appeared to be a bit understaffed.

    IT was terrible. The shrimp was over salted the hush puppies were over cooked and after I complained about the shrimp the chef made me some grilled shrimp that were tough and tasted like show leather. Nobody ever checked to ask how the replacement dish was and they had no ventilation or AC and it was 95 degrees.

    Overall experience was lackluster. Overpriced for average food. I had high expectations based off reviews and their Instagram. The cornbread and hush puppies were good, but their Mac and bbq platter didn’t blow me away. The servers were very nice, but the food took a long time to come out.

    We went on recommendation of family members. We got the smoked chicken wings app of 5 which were very tasty and well done to a crisp. These are big wings. I went for Sophies surf & turf that I saw on menu online or the crabcake sandwhich, neither that were on the menu and there were no other specials that day? I got BBQ salmon as I was swayed by grits and grilled asparagus accompaniment. It was just ok . I love grits but these are very different and not much flavor. Salmon was a little fishy to me but in fairness it is my least favorite fish to eat so I made the mistake of getting fish in a barbecue/smoker place and probably should have known better. I tasted my hubbies 1/2 rack ribs which he raved and I thought they were great and very tender! He also got a cuban sandwich,which was very big and tasty. Do not go if your on a time limit as the chef does take his time but I like that as I feel he really cares about what he is putting out and I love the break between app & entree as I abhor getting food all at once! Some dishes we saw go by looked so interesting! Portions are large so you will not leave hungry. Servers are friendly and good as it was very busy ! I would recommend making sure menu online is current as it appears to change as I found out. It is not cheap but I would go back try and other items.

    I’d read a review about Sophie’s and wanted to try it. There’s street parking with meters. The outdoor dining is at picnic tables. It’s BYOB with a deli down the street that sells beer in case you didn’t bring anything with you. The food was delicious. We ordered the half pound of brisket meal which came with 2 sides and cornbread. I chose the potato salad and the Mac and cheese for the sides. We also had 5 wings. This was more food than 2 of us could finish (I brought home the leftovers and look forward to eating them for lunch). The Mac and cheese was served in a small cast iron skillet with extra cheese on top. It would’ve been enough for a main meal. They serve lemonade and cane sodas. The people were friendly. We’ll definitely be returning.

    We mostly enjoyed the food, but the service was inconsistent and the outdoor seating wasn’t ideal. There were a lot of bugs and the seating was spaced rather closely together, and some tables were over grates and gave the feeling of sitting in an alley.
