Great service. They offer rice flour dishes for gluten free options. Had the burger sliders flight - Bison, Wagyu, Lamb and Crabcake. Did not disappoint and was just $25. You can get it with a flight of wine or beer for $10 more. Also recommend the Buffalo cauliflower. read more

I had the pleasure of dining at Sobo's last week for a wine and tapas event. In the fall, I bid on and won a gift package donated by Southern Boys Concepts to support The Maryland Life Crisis Center. This gift included 4 tickets to Evolution Brewing's Oyster Festival (Fabulous!), 2 all-you-can-eat crab dinners and a pitcher of EVO beer at The Red Roost (another great experience), and Tapas and Wine for 8 at Sobo's. We were 4 couples that drove an hour from home to try out Sobo's. All 8 of us were blown away by the quality and creativity of the food and the exceptional service in a cozy yet energized environment! Our server Alisha served and paired 8 different tapas for us. Chef Ryan came out to check on us about midway through and then at the end (to much applause) to ask for feedback. They were both amazing! Tuesday is tapas night at Sobo's but the group experience is not necessarily on the menu. We were told it is certainly something they will do upon request. The atmosphere is warm and sparkly. Soft lighting, nice music ( which someone turned off when the restaurant got busy and very loud and then turned on again as the evening progressed, attention to detail!), and creatively partitioned areas that made you feel like you were not on top of each other in a small space. Southern Boys Concepts produces consistently good food, ambiance, and service and actively supports community events. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

A total gem in Salisbury, I was so happy to come here! The ambiance is warm and inviting and the wine selection is just perfect. I was with a group so was able to try an array of items after coming here two nights in a row (because yes, it was that good!). First and foremost for the appetizers the buffalo cauliflower was the best I've ever had! Seriously, is order it just as a meal if I came alone. They were perfectly crisp and tender with just the right amount of sauce. Crispy Brussels sprouts were good, but thy is becoming a common option at restaurants and there wasn't much to set these apart, but they were good and I'd get them again. The calamari and the special lime cilantro fried shrimp were also good, but the clear appetizer was the cauliflower. The entree I had (both nights) was the blackened local rockfish with crab and pea risotto. Everything on the plate was perfect cooked and tasted exactly as I expected from the menu description. read more

Food and service was outstanding! The crab dip is nothing but lump crab and flavorful. Their Waygu burger with homemade ketchup and bbq sauce is great too! Drinks are flavorful and ambiance is perfect for date night and group gatherings. Pricey, but worth the money. read more

Second time visiting and while the food was okay - albeit, not as good as first time, however; the service was simply disappointing. We sat at the bar and had good service before our meals came. Unfortunately, once the meals came out, two of the four ladies behind the bar became consumed with a regular and her confusion on how her points work. We had to interject to get a refresh on drinks and then we had to flag down another person behind bar to get a dessert menu. Once received and ready to order dessert and drinks, we then were ignored again while the two continued helping the points lady and the other visible employee focused on simple chatting with the two guys at the end of the bar. Won't be back - at least for a while. read more

We frequent this restaurant a few times a month and it is always good. Last nite our meal was exceptional. The ahi tuna and black rice from presentation to taste was fabulous. You can also count on the staff to help you choose a great bottle of wine as well. I tend to take this place for granted but they deserve a big shout out! Keep up the great work and thank you for a great evening. read more

Aloha, probably the best bang for your buck in restaurants in Salisbury. We had a family dinner in the private room, nice. Our wait-help was great, very attentive. Food was fresh & amazing. Everything from Brussels sprouts to burgers, crab, short-ribs & pork chops, all yummy & well prepared. We will be back again & again, as I think the fam's favorite restaurant in town. read more

Went tonight for my son's birthday, Was not impressed with the building when I got there, however, we decided to give it a shot and we are glad we did, the service was great, we had Gabby as our waitress and she was fantastic. The food was good though the portions could have been larger for the prices they charged, also, DO NOT ask for bread and butter, they charge 8.00 for a tiny loaf of bread with a few pats of butter, and Gabby our waitress never told us that there was a charge when I asked for bread.Other than mentioning that someone was having a birthday, nothing special was done for my special request when I filled out the open table reservation. read more

My parents live in Salisbury and nearly every time my siblings and I visit we stop by! The menu consists of reliable, classic dishes from the shore with a modern twist. The staff is typically quite attentive, however the service can be quite slow. We always get the crispy brussel sprouts as an appetizer. The sprouts are grilled till they're crunchy and tossed in an orange Asian sauce. The complimentary bread is good when it is fresh out of the oven. We tried out both of the tuna appetizers tonight - the bites and poke. The bites were tasty and creatively presented. Watermelon radishes were folded into half moons, stuffed with spicy tuna, and threaded on a kabob stick. The poke was underwhelming - it needed wasabi or something. I think the problem was how much rice there was for an appetizer. My mom and sisters always get the filet with fries and are never disappointed. I love the rockfish with crab and peas risotto. It's so comforting without being too heavy. My boyfriend got the scallops with gnocchi. I couldn't help myself from stealing pieces of the gnocchi! I love that they sell desserts from local establishments. They rotate flavors of ice cream from Chesapeake creamery and smith island cakes. Tonight we tried out the banana walnut and chocolate pb. Both were delicious! The rest of the table enjoyed the creme brûlée and Oreo cheesecake. We love this place. We always leave with a smile on our face and full bellies. Looking forward to more meals! read more

We ordered 2 sandwiches for our lunch time meal today. I choose the chicken salad sandwich, and the other was the sliced turkey sandwich. My chicken was plump and chunky, however, very dry. The grapes helped, but didn't save the sandwich. The turkey sammich was apparently a lot better than my choice. We both agreed that the French fries were pretty good. We might try this spot again. read more

Happened to meet up with my best friend from Sacramento here (I live in dallas). This place was recommended and I see why. We had the crab avocado toast (very fresh and flavorable). I ordered the mussel appetizer (amazing flavor) our daughter had the rib eye special and ate every last piece, my Bestie had the salmon and said it was very good and my husband has the filet and ate it all. We had the Brussels sprouts appetizer that we all shared (great fresh flavor) We had the table all night and never felt like we were being rushed out of it. Thank you for a perfectly enjoyable evening with family and friends. read more

our date night restuarant for a number of years. They have had their ups and downs where the menu is concerned but,'of late, have been on a definite up-swing. The deconstructed tuna roll is amazing. The wine selection is good for the area but marked up a little more than I think fair (unless you go on Wednesday when the wine is 1/2 price!) - al-in-all, I wouldn't trade it. We'll keep our Sobos! read more

Looking for a solid seafood place and stumbled across this one. Not a ton of seafood options but...crab, mussels and shrimp on the menu. Nice atmosphere but the prices make up for it. Really good buffalo cauliflower appetizer but the rest of the meal was just mediocre. I had the crab cake sandwich (too bready) and my companion had the Reuben which was less than stellar. Good wine and beer list...service was meh but they were setting up for an evening Halloween event. read more

Came here for appetizers late one night. Place was not busy but we sat at the bar. I got the mussels, she got the steak salad and a drink. The steak salad was apparently very good. The steak looked to be a very nice medium rare. My mussels were great. Plentiful and robust with garlic sauce. Plenty of sauce leftover for me to dip the bread that had accompanied my dish. read more

Terrific place for wine lovers and gourmet dining. Food and service outstanding. Come and see for yourselves because you won't be disappointed . Fresh local farm products are in all their dishes. The Chef is very creative and new dishes are always a treat. We tried Crab Ravioli and it was delicious with creamy corn, peas and spinach. It was very rich. Desserts are homemade and the berry cobbler with vanilla ice cream was a great way to end a great meal read more

Love this place! Very nice wine selection, especially with the reds. Good happy hour too. I really enjoy dinner here, everything tastes fresh. It's nice to have a different option than the usual restaurant corporate chains in Salisbury. read more

The problem with this place is inconsistency. Went in again tonight and they have had yet another menu change. I was visiting my sister and her gf, and we just wanted some appetizers and drinks so we popped in for the happy hour. Well - they decided to do away with the happy hour food specials. So, we ordered the crostini, calamari, and vegetable risotto. I was hungry so I also had a burger as well. I'll start with the good. The burger was awesome. The fries that came with it were gross - even Sysco fries are better so not really sure what's going on there. The burger itself, however, was pretty damn tasty. Also, I've never had bad service here. Tonight was a little (read: very) slow (we waited 15 minutes to get our beers after we ordered) but I did order a burger, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. The other appetizers we split though - don't even bother. The risotto had no flavor, the calamari (baked, not fried) was in a "cream sauce" but really all you tasted was lemon when you ate it. The crostini, actually, was pretty good. And by pretty good, I mean it just wasn't bad. I've definitely eaten at this place before, and I have had good food a few times here. But, as I mentioned, their problem is inconsistency. Tonight my friends and I were all pretty disappointed in general. If you're looking for a decent atmosphere in Salisbury, where you can have some drinks and relax - definitely check this place out. If you are in the mood for good food, however, I would highly recommend going somewhere else. The food is overpriced to begin with. If it were good, I wouldn't really mind. I really, really, really, really LOVE food. But when it tastes this bad, it's almost insulting and offensive when you get the bill. read more

Went for a Friday lunch and was greeted by a nearly empty restaurant. Ordered the special--a turkey blt-- and was disappointed by the cardboard-like quality of the "bacon" and the general blandness of the sandwich. On the other hand, my husband's fish tacos were much better cooked but still bland. Despite the lack of customers, service was slow. Would not recommend. read more

I went to Sobos Tuesday night and ordered the swordfish. The dish is served with spinich and potatoes but I substiuted with asparagus. Long story short..the swordfish was inedible. It didn't seemed cooked and had a strong fishy taste. Not only that the presentation was awful. the spinich was mixed with stewed tomatoes and the sauce was nasty. I literally got 4 of the tiniest asparagus that I had ever seen. They took it off the bill and then my date ordered lemon pie, which took 45 minutes to get thankfully that was good. The only reason that I gave it 2 stars was for the atmosphere. The waitress was fine she had to wait for them to get the pie. This restaurant used to be good and now its going down hill..so sad. read more

Need an impressive place for a romantic night out or an out of town client? SoBo's is the answer. The decor is modern and the lighting is soothing. The seating, especially in the upper dining room, is cozy. The staff are well trained and are well prepared for real conversation about the menu. Have you ever asked a waiter what's good and gotten the answer "everything" or asked how good a specific dish is to find out they have never tried it? Not at SoBo's. You'll get real answers to your curious questions. I love the House Cured Ahi Tuna appetizer prepared with Cucumber Apple Slaw, Wonton Crisps and Soy and Wasabi Glaze! The Beer Battered Portabella Mushrooms and Asparagus are also a must have from the appetizer menu. The cheese board reminded me of our trip to Paris last summer, sitting at a cafe, sipping wine and munching on "stinky" cheese. For dinner, the Filet is my favorite......probably one of the best steaks I have ever had. The food here is excellent, but the thing that sets them apart from everyone else is the hand picked New World wine list. You won't find any expensive French wines here. Tom's theory is that the wines of Chile, Argentina, Australia, New Zealand, Washington, Oregon and of course, California have as much or more to contribute as their more famous and expensive counterparts. If yo love wine but are on a budget that's alright. SoBo's has a 20 for $20 Wine List. With 20 or more bottles for $20 or less, you can enjoy some really good wine at a reasonable price. That's the beauty of New World wines! Salisbury is truly fortunate to have SoBo's as one of its dining options! read more

I come to visit my parents 3-4 times / year so was excited to try this place since we like evolution and specifies gravity. I got the duck and really liked it but my parents got filets and they were not good-my mom ordered medium and it was just this side of mooing and my dad's was really chewy. Honestly this could have been resolved if our waitress was good. She came right after we got food before they cut into steak. The next time we saw her was 45 minutes later when I asked another waiter to send our waitress over. The waiter for the table next to ours came 4 times for our waitress's one time. They took my mom's filet off bill but that was not the point- it was her birthday and she had a really bad meal. So I asked our waitress for the manager and she seemed surprised. She sent over a girl who was probably 20 who said she was manager but i think she was just trying to cover our waitress for her bad service. I don't know the waitress's name but if a manager reads this she needs to go. I honestly haven't given less than 20% for service since way before Covid but did tonight. So disappointed! read more

Average food for above average prices. We made a reservation online and when we showed up they were not expecting us. We were seated in a tiny table in the corner by a drafty door (outside temps were in the 20's), and you felt it. The food was subpar in every aspect for me, even before you put their price on it. read more

I'm probably one of SoBo's biggest fans! This place is absolutely phenomenal! If you're looking for a place in the Salisbury area with a romantic atmosphere; look no farther! This place will meet all your needs. The lighting is absolutely perfect. It's bright enough so you can see the person you're sitting with, and makes the perfect setting for any night out with your special someone. The environment presents this wonderful old world rustic charm; topped off with a quaint appeal of floor to ceiling wine racks surrounding the dining area. The tables are spaced just perfectly so you don't feel like you're on top of one another. So when you're swooning the person you're sitting with; you don't have to worry about dining neighbors hearing your corny on-liners. Don't even get me started on the food! I'm certain every time I walk out of this restaurant I've probably consumed an entire week's worth of calories due to the richness of the food. Yet the portions are just right to avoid making you uncomfortably stuffed. This place offers some of the finest of ingredients to be found on the Eastern Shore. My compliments always to the chef! He prepares everything as though it were an art form. All of the sauces throughout every course, including dessert are sheer perfection. I highly recommend the truffle sauce! I'm not much of a drinker anymore, but let me tell you; when it comes to their wine selection, they're top notch. I've been fortunate enough to have the opportunity of tasting wines from all over the planet, and this place promises some of the best to be found. Their wine list is easy to read, if you've had any formal training and wine tasting, you'll be sure to find the correct choice for your palette. Although, I must say I disagree with some of the chef's choices for some of his plates. The only issue I have with this restaurant is the price of its menu. For a college town it boasts some pretty hefty price tags on most of its dishes; this being said, you certainly do get which you pay for with each and every meal. The only other downside of this restaurant goes back to the fact this is a college town; if you go there for a late dinner, you'll find yourself surrounded by wine guzzling 21 year-old undergrads! This definitely takes away from the ambience! All of this being said, as soon as I can scrape together some dough, I will definitely be going back for another awesome meal and enchanted evening! Especially with that special someone! read more

Wow! This place was a pleasant surprise. We had intended to go somewhere else, but after lousy service, we came here instead. Everything we tried was awesome. We started with the calamari and the charcuterie platter, both were outstanding. I had the deconstructed tuna roll and it was out of this world. Great wine list, ok beer selections. Minus one star because the room we sat in was freezing, even after adjusting, we were all shivering. If I lived closer, for sure this place would be in our rotation. read more

I really like Sobo's wine beerstro. Very trendy restaurant, and like the Market Street Inn, I was surprised that this place existed in Salisbury, MD. I took a co-worker out to eat here while in the area this past summer for work and really enjoyed my meal. We started with a wine and cheese plate and ordered a bottle of Cakebread Cabernet which was 50% off on the Tuesday evening we dined there. What a great deal! I ended up paying less for it at Sobo's then what I could have purchased it in a liquor store for. For entrees, I ordered a salmon that came in a seafood sauce. The sauce was too rich and heavy for me, but the salmon was cooked to perfection and very tasty. My co-worker ordered a seafood pasta that was extremely fresh with large chunks of crabmeat. Fresh crabmeat, not the pastuerized crap out of a can. Very solid food and wonderful service. Sobo's and Market Street Inn are my two favorite restaurants in the Salisbury area. read more

Our recent visit to SoBo's was outstanding and a true fine dining experience. We had a sweet and sour shrimp appetizer special, which was delicious and could have made a small meal for one person. I had a shrimp and veal chop special for my entree and was most impressed. Everything was done perfectly. I also had a red wine flight and was in heaven. What stood out the most this visit was the service. Our entrees took a long time to appear, but honestly, we didn't notice since we were happily chatting away. Our waiter, however, was very apologetic and anticipated the problem rather than wait for a possible complaint from us. He offered us a free dessert for our trouble (although really, it was not trouble at all!). So we got an awesome chocolate mousse to go with our amazing meal! Also, I asked for "no potatoes, substitute with asparagus" with my meal. The entree still arrived with potatoes, but the waiter offered to replate it. I declined, and was given an extra helping of asparagus anyway. I really wanted to give Sobo's 4.5 stars... The noise is still a problem. Sorry, but it's a huge peeve of mine! read more

Fantastic! Crab cakes and duck highly recommended. Buffalo cauliflower also quite good. Kind staff!

The food and service was great the only issue that disappointed us was the noise level. Dinner tables are located in the bar area which got very loud and crowded. So if you are looking to go out for a nice quiet dinner with your spouse this may not be the place, or you should ask for a table in the separate dinning room if one is available. read more

This is one of the best restaurants in Salisbury. In addition to a nice wine and beer selection, the menu is unique for the area and the food is consistently good. The atmosphere is friendly and inviting as well. read more

Was in town on business. Read the reviews and thought I'd try it out. I tried a happy hour app, the fried artichokes and a special for dinner the veal chop. Both were amazing! Great flavor and great service. My bartender was very attentive and suggested a good wine to sip on as well! If back in town I will come again! read more

We stopped in the Beerstro on an early Friday night and got seated right away. I love any place that has such a serious committment to good wine and beer like Dogfish and Ommegang. We had an amazing meal, the food was prepared perfectly using fresh, local ingredients and they have a constantly changing, creative menu. This place is just really cool, with a great wine list cool atmosphere, and a knowledgeable staff. Dave, our watier, did a great job of explaining the menu items and making recommendations. The prices aren't bad for the quality of food, right about what you would expect, but it's definitely pricey for the Eastern Shore. Definitely worth it though. read more

I was blown away by my experience here. So were the three somewhat picky/fussy eaters who were with me. I mean, these folks are not easy to please, and Sobo impressed us all. The atmosphere is intimate but not so much so that kids are unwelcome. The service is attentive without being overbearing. I expected the wine and beer to be the stars here, but they really aren't. Or at least not for me. It is all about the food! For starters, even of you don't think you like Brussels sprouts, you should try them here. They are beautifully caramelized and richly seasoned. Really a can't-miss. The wonton appetizer sampler, if they have it, is a nice selection of fillings inside yummy fried wontons. The beet salad with arugula and goat cheese is great. I had it as my entree and it was perfectly filling. The picky ones in my party had lentil soup, steak, chicken and scallops. All raved about their meals. We will definitely be back next time we are in town! read more

Went back again and the menu had been updated, service was great and the food was spectacular AND hot! I love that their menu is unique. I get tired of seeing the same old steak, pasta burger menus that you find in most restaurants. I am looking forward to going back again. read more

I guess dinner is a better time at this place....Lunch is not! It was our first and last time. From Food to Service...NOTHING was good. A 16.00 crabcake sandwich that had so much of a smoke flavor I could not eat it. My husband's fries were ice cold,so we asked for some warm ones! The waitress took our order, delivered our drinks, 25 minutes later delivered our food. Never came back from standing behind the bar unless we called for her. There were four tables and even the one across from us was upset over their wait for food. I guess I expected too much walking into this place. read more
