The service is quick, and in the event that you have to wait, it's usually because your item is being made. I love their empanadas and the green sauce that comes with it.

So, we decided to take advantage of the happy hour menu The waitress proceeds to ignore what I want to order and goes into the main menu and then adds items that I didn't order and not put in the order that I actually wanted. I'm a little upset. She's not interested in serving our table. She's just interested in hanging out at the table next to us sitting on a gentleman's lap and not even coming to check on us again. The one who took care of us was the bartender. It's pretty sad.. This will be the last time we come here and support this local business.

I love Jersey diners, and this is a great one. I was visiting on Staten Island, and I found this…read moreplace on the web, so I came over for breakfast. It's just your typical Neighbourhood diner. Nothing fancy on the inside, there were workers, families, just average people enjoying a good meal. Everybody was friendly and helpful. I loved my server, Laura. Friendly, with just a little bit of "sass." just like you would expect a good diner waitress to be. They had a very decent sized menu. I decided to go with the catfish and eggs, with grits instead of potatoes The breakfast was amazing. The portions were very decent sized. The catfish was not over breaded, it was not oily or greasy at all, and the catfish itself was so amazingly, tender and flaky. It came with a remoulade, which was creamy and tangy, and had just a tiny bit of a "zip" to it. Just enough that I noticed. It really added to the flavor of the catfish. The eggs were perfectly over easy, giving me that wonderful "yolk action" for dipping the catfish that I absolutely love. The grits were creamy, and I believe they had just a little bit of butter in them.. The entire breakfast tasted so good. For all that I got, the price was very reasonable. Thank you for a great meal.

When I arrived, they told me they didn't have turkey sausage so I was fine with beef. Then they just split a hot dog and put it in the sandwich which was not what I expected.

The diner seemed like a calm environment but wouldn't come visit again.

Sometimes, being spoiled really sets the bar too high for places to match. For Peruvian style…read morerestaurants with roasted chickens, ceviche etc. Pio Pio remains my gold standard a decade after my first visit to the esteemed chain. That said, I do my best to temper my expectations whenever I go to a place like Sofia's, which strikes me as more of a mom and pop standalone than part of a chain of restaurants in New York City. I was nearby and I needed lunch so I stopped by Sofia's to get some food to take home. The exterior is a tad off-putting to be honest. The awning is black and the "Sofia's Restaurant" lettering is very worn, to the point where at first I was unclear if the restaurant was even open. I peeked inside and saw activity so in I went. The interior features rest rooms near the entrance, a counter to the left and seating to the right. It looked good inside, and quite a contrast from what I expected from the exterior's appearance. The staff was nice (not overly effusive, but not rude either) and took my order quickly. So here's what I tried: CHICKEN Like so many places with this style of menu, you can order a roast chicken. You can get a quarter, half or an entire chicken. I wound up ordering a whole chicken so I'd have left overs for a couple days. This also let me try both the white and dark meat sections. Overall, the chicken is good. If I were to place Pio Pio's chicken as an "A+", this chicken is basically a "B-". The chicken was moist and well cooked, but it was not marinated as well as I would have liked. Even the heavily seasoned skin did not have the flavor punch I am used to from Pio, but would I get it again? Sure. It does the trick in a pinch. With the chicken you get their version of "green sauce" which is...okay. Again, if we are to hold Pio's as an "A+", this would be a "B-". There is good flavor, but it does not have the flavor hit I had hoped for. SALAD The side salad order features iceberg lettuce, tomatoes and a couple chopped vegetables. A creamy dressing is drizzled on top. This was fine as a side to the chicken. It wasn't anything to write home about, but I didn't dislike it either. MADUROS Perhaps the most disappointing of the dishes I purchased. My favorite maduros come from either Pio Pio or Sophie's Cuban Cuisine. They should be well cooked, not dried out and of course, sweet. These were sweet, but the texture was bad. These had clearly been deep (deep) fried in oil far too much, so they were overly oily and falling apart. Worse, the order was *swimming* in a thick layer of oil in a plastic container that had a nice opening, causing this to leak all over the rest of my order. Never again. Overall, Sofia's is okay, but it's not great. If I'm in the area again I may get the chicken again and perhaps try some other dishes but I won't be going out of my way to visit.
