We found Sophie's Grill and Bar on whim via a web search for local eateries and decided to give it a try. The pictures of the food drew us in. Everything looked delicious - so off we went. The location is in a small area so parking is a little tricky. We went in on what seemed like a busy night for them. There was await, so we decided to sit at the bar (as it was a first come, first served) and order from the menu. We were greeted by one of the staff members and quickly alerted that they were very busy (due to being short staff) but would be to us as quick as possible. We acknowledged and let them know we were fine with the wait. This gave us time to look over the menu and decide what we wanted. There was a lot to choose from being something simple like chicken wings to having a full meal. We decided on the following: Sophie's Ginger Spritz: Made with organic ginger beer and our white Georguab semi-sweet wine, fresh fruits and soda, it may be your new favorite aperitive.Chicken Schnitzel: Pickled marinated & panko crusted. Served with mashed potatoes, mushroom Marsala sauce and red braised cabbage.Michael Jordan Burger: Beef burger with provolone cheese and crisp applewood bacon.Salmon Nikoloff: Grilled fresh salmon on a bed of sautéed fresh spinach, topped with a rich mushroom cream sauce. Served with crisp asparagus spears. As you can see in the photos, I am only showing the chicken schnitzel and drink. This is because the rest of the food came out so late we just had them box it up to go. We did wait about 10 mins to get our order entered. Then from there it was down hill with the wait time, the chicken entree came out. It wasn't piping hot as one would expect but it was good. Might have been great if it was piping hot. My guest said the drink was good - but it wasn't ginger beer more like a ginger syrup. The other entrées took about another 20 mins to come to us. When they got home and tried it, they said the food was good but would have probably been better when it was fresh and piping hot. With this, we still would like to try them again when they aren't so busy and short on staff.

We were in a different area so we thought we'd try something new. His choice and I was VERY pleased. We both were.

My boyfriend and I dined here a few weeks ago for a date night and we were very impressed. We were both craving Eastern European food and Sophie's exceeded our expectations. The owner is from Bulgaria and has a lot of unique food and drinks on her menu. We were able to make reservations and we asked for a booth. There are lots of fresh flowers and plants decorating this restaurant. We loved the vibes and definitely felt like we were transported to a restaurant in Europe. I started with a bourbon drink called the Boulevardier with Campari and it was delicious. My boyfriend had a bourbon. We ordered the Armenian figs appetizer, and my only complaint is the bacon was barely cooked. That is on me though because I should have specified we like our bacon well done. For our entrees my boyfriend had the Balkan's wine kebab and I had the stuffed cabbage rolls. My entree was really good, but next time I'm ordering the wine kebab. The flavors were amazing! It consisted of slow roasted chicken, veggies and rice. The bartender was our server and she was wonderful. We both can't wait to return.

Visited Sophie's today for the first time for lunch - and we're so very sorry we didn't try it earlier. The food was fantastic! We had the perfect lunch for two to share: the Slovakian Paprikash - chicken, potatoes, tomatoes and lots of paprika - and the Armenian Figs - sweet Armenian baked figs, stuffed with feta cheese and wrapped in applewood bacon, baked with Asiago and balsamic glaze. (For purposes of illlustration, there's one left on the plate in this pic; it disappeared shortly after the pic was taken.) Our server, Neli, made the experience even better; she's absolutely charming! We'll definitely return!

Bottom line: Sophie's Grill and Bar served a very good meal in the Potato & Cheese Pierogi and Chicken Schnitzel menu selections I had on my visit. Nice atmosphere and good service. I am a fan! The Deets: Venturing out on a rainy Sunday, I tried Sophie's Grill and Bar off Hwy 55 in Cary. They do take reservations off Open Table but it was not needed on this day. They have a very open space, nicely done with a hint of European flavor. There is a spacious bar front and center as well with plenty of TVs to follow sports action/programs. I was seated upon entering and given the menu. Again, the menu gives an Eastern European impression with some American favorites as well. I chose to start with Potato & Cheese Pierogi with menu description "traditional eastern European fried dumplings, stuffed with cheese, boiled potatoes, butter and seasoning, served with caramelized onions." I liked these a lot, a definite crisp along the edges and tasty ingredients inside. They do appear a bit greasy/oily when they come out but taste very good. For my main choice, I went with their Chicken Schnitzel, menu described as "pickled marinated & panko crusted. Served with mushroom Marsala sauce and mashed potatoes." Again, I liked this one, the flavors were great together and the mushroom sauce made a nice addition. Service was good during my visit and I was checked on several times during my meal. I think I will be adding Sophie's Grill and Bar to my rotation, a nice surprise, I enjoyed my meal there. I'd say more along 4.5 stars here.

I come to Sophie's for happy hour for the ambiance, music, drink selection, and friendly service.

Good burger, good service. We got there and sat at the bar and had an app of fried deviled eggs,…read morewhich were interesting. The hard boiled part was fried, with jalapeno and bacon on top. Pretty neat rendition of a traditional product. I had a Heat wave burger, which I thought was going to be really spicy, but was pretty medium, for me... I am from NM, though, so I have a little bit of a spice skew. The burger was nicely cooked, and although the fries came out cold, they remade some for me that were hot and pretty good. They also had a nice beer and cocktail selection, so if you are in the mood, you can get your hop or wheat on, or marg... Nice looking spot on the inside, with either ample table or bar seating, so take your pick. This is the spot where they just announced that the theater will be closing, and demolished forever... in Park West, and I did notice a lot of closed businesses, but that I think is a separate issue relating to the ridiculous rents that they are asking for in Wake as a whole.

Unique (but good) burger options and great lunch time service. Every month they present a different…read moreburger and I had gotten the ballpark, which as predicted had everything on this burger you can think of associated with a day at the ballpark. Still the burger itself was delicious with a good balance of fat and thickness. They are moving across the street so I am planning on checking out the soft launch and give an updated review on the new atmosphere of the location.

Doc B's is one of those places that never lets you down…read more I've been here several times, and whenever I'm in town for a work event, this is usually where we end up for dinner. The staff is consistently friendly, the food is always great, and the space is clean, lively, and welcoming. It works just as well for families and date nights as it does for friend gatherings or corporate dinners, whether it's a large group or just a few of us out for an offsite meal. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The appetizers are all solid, and I'm fairly certain I've taken down an entire guacamole plate on my own before. The Caesar salad is a favorite, and I usually choose between one of their steaks, which has never disappointed. We've also dined with people who have dietary restrictions including gluten-free and vegetarian needs, and the kitchen has always been accommodating. The atmosphere is fun and energetic, and parking has always been easy and convenient, which is a big plus when you're coming in with a group. One small, constructive note from earlier visits is that a couple of servers were newer and less comfortable with wine recommendations. This is completely understandable and didn't detract from the experience, but having a quick backup or simple pairing guidance could make business dinners even smoother. On our most recent visit, I arrived late and the group had already ordered wine, and the selections were excellent. The food was outstanding, the service was seamless, and everything came together beautifully. Overall, Doc B's continues to be a reliable, enjoyable spot with great food, a welcoming vibe, and strong service. I always look forward to coming back when I'm in town, and if you're ever on the fence, don't hesitate. It's absolutely worth the visit.

I had a Cajun fish sandwich and it was one of the best I've had. My son enjoyed his pho and my wife her steak sandwich as well. The homemade Oreo ice cream is phenomenal. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is because it's pricey. I do believe you get what you pay for but even then I think the menu was over and above it should be price wise.

So far the best hamburger in RDU and consistent quality, taste and service!…read more Venue: casual, burger joint. Full bar available in front if you want to watch sports game. High top and bar seat in the bar. Tables and booth seating in the restaurant. Food: ordered good ol' cheese burger which you can make your own (you can pick type of protein for the patty, veggies, cheese, sauce etc). Patty is cooked just like we asked- juicey and well flavored. Deviled egg was phenomenal- little rich and on the salty side but it only compliments their amber ale to chug. Another complimenting dish to the ale is definitely fried pickle. Portion is good=big. Oh, came here another time. Burger was good again. I ordered Philly cheese, which I loved the taste but the ground beef instead of shaved beef was not for me. Service: both times, the service was great. Fast and very attentive. Price: I think the price is reasonable if not, really great. $4 pint amber ale? It's a steal!

Ultimately, this was a generally terrible experience. The service was slow, the food was terrible,…read moreand I saw a health code violation. It took a while for the waitress to come over and take our order. The restaurant was not busy (other than our table there was only one other) and it took 10 minutes to be asked what we wanted to drink. Then it took another 10 minutes for the water to show up and to have our orders taken. I ordered the Bad Ass Burger with fries. The fries arrived cold and floppy. I let the waitress know the fries were cold and she graciously took then and had them remade. The second set, arrived hot and floppy...and were unseasoned. The burger itself was terrible. The meat patties were not seasoned and overcooked (ordered medium arrived well done). Ultimately, the food was just disappointing. Lastly, I saw one of the cooks vaping over the food.
