    Steak Trio with chedder risotto.
    Destiny H.

    Stopped in on a thursday around 6:45 and was seated immediately ordered a glass of wine and an app, both great! Hubby ended up getting their special burger and i went with the streak trio. He said burger was great & filling and i really enjoy the steak trio. Service was great too, you could tell they really value working as a team. Well definitely be back and already looking forward to our next dinning experience there

    Filet pita..

    We were looking for a bite to eat for lunch & was pleasantly surprised that what we thought was a wine bar turn out to be a culinary experience! My husband said the carolina burger was the best burger he ever had & I can say the same for my filet mignon pita wrap. The flavor & taste were just as satisfying as the amount of food!

    I came here for a pit stop on my way to Greenville, SC. Pretty great experience overall! The bartenders were friendly, funny, and quick. The truffle fry bowl was huge! Definitely too much for one person but it was so good and definitely worth trying. I do wish they'd put a layer of the sauce on the bottom layer of fries and then a layer on the top of the fries as well so when you get to the bottom fries you'll still have the taste of the original sauce that pulled you in initially. The southern chicken sandwich was pretty good. I did ask for mustard and hot sauce to add some tangy and spice to the sandwich because I feel like it was missing that. After that it was even better. I'd definitely return here. The restaurant got louder as more people started to enter as we had our dinner. There was plenty of space as well and the bathrooms were clean.

    We were in town for an event and had some time to kill so we decided to check this place out for brunch. The server was super friendly and got us seated immediately. The menu looked amazing but we didn't want a large meal. Our server suggested the cheese grits so I ordered that with a side of bacon. This may have been the greatest cheese grits I've ever had. I will definitely be back to try their dinner.

    SO GOOD. We stopped in for Saturday lunch and surprisingly it wasn't busy. AJ was our server and he was so friendly and had jokes! The kid ordered Mac cheese, which she completely demolished. Hubby and I split truffle fries, filet wrap and winter salad. It was all so delicious! Definitely going on our list to frequent more often!

    Finally got the chance to drive into Lexington and check out Sophie's the overall layout of this restaurant is very unique with lots of differently styled seating areas to accommodate different needs.The wood paneling and furniture paired with oversized leather chairs gives a masculine vibe that is balances with string lighting, wine bottles and lots of natural light. We enjoyed burgers that were recommended by our server along with the fried chicken skins and homemade pimiento cheese. The service was great, everything was very tasty and the burgers were huge. Definitely a spot worth trying and worth visiting Lexington for!

    04/02/25 - Today was our first time at Sophie's and the establishment is absolutely beautiful. Plenty of various seating options and perfect for a casual meet up or date night. There were so many amazing choices on the menu. Our server AJ was super friendly and helpful. We'll definitely be back! What we ordered: Deep South Burger $14 The crispy chicken skin, bbq sauce and pimento cheese combo on this brioche burger was delicious! Vegan General Tsos $16 The crispiness of the broccoli combined with the chewiness of the lions mane was wonderful! That with a hearty covering of their general tsos sauce was one of my favorite parts of this visit Pork belly banh mi $10 Every ingredient sounded amazing, but I was slightly underwhelmed by the lack of flavor in the pork belly and the veggies seemed more crunchy than pickled to me. Baja Salmon Tacos $13 The guac and salsa in this taco were delicious! Unfortunately the salmon was a little on the dryer side than I would've liked Gouda Mac N Cheese 5/10 Was good! I def plan on coming back to try more off of their menu and grab a wine flight

    Hangover burger
    Clare F.

    I had a great experience at Sophie's Cork & Ale! The Hungover Burger was delicious -- juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The mimosas were also amazing and paired perfectly with brunch. I'll definitely be coming back; however, the service was okay.

I walked in to a packed restaurant with a line almost out the door. The young lady at the counter tells me before I order there is a 30-40 minute wait on the food and while that sounds ridiculous, I drove all the way from Asheboro for one of their burgers because I already know it's worth the wait. No problem! The place is right off the main road and there's plenty of parking with additional parking in the rear. The inside appearance is that of a burger joint. Not too fancy but clean. I ordered the Jr. Cheeseburger with extra cheese, pickles, lettuce, tomato, mustard and mayo, a Hot Dog all the way, Seasoned fries and a Sweet Tea. Their burgers are served hot and are cooked until the edges are "lacy" and crispy with just the right amount of seasoning. They use potato buns and they and are so fresh and grilled on one side which gives the burger additional good flavor. The fries are cooked perfectly, served hot and lightly seasoned. And you can get some of their homemade ranch to dip them in. I know they are known for their burgers but they also have AWESOME Hot Dogs! The weiner is grilled and again, the bun is grilled on one side, just makes your tongue all kind of happy. I ordered my hot dog "All the Way" aka "Carolina Style". The chili was good, the white slaw was fresh and light, onions added a hint of sweetness, and the mustard ties all of the flavors together in a well made, high quality hot dog. They also have really good sweet tea. Nicks has the BEST burgers and hot dogs in the Triangle area and I highly recommend but get there as soon as they open or you may find yourself waiting in line. But do go.

The…read morepatties were unbelievably juicy with those perfectly crispy, charred edges that every burger should have. The melted cheese was dripping over the sides, the bun was soft and fresh, and every bite just kept getting better. The fries deserved their own round of applause. Crispy, perfectly seasoned, and so addictive I kept telling myself, "Just one more"... about 30 fries ago. I don't know what kind of magic they're working back there, but they absolutely nailed it. This wasn't one of those burgers you eat because you're hungry--this was the kind you eat in complete silence because you're too busy enjoying every bite. On top of the amazing food, the service was just as impressive. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made the whole experience even better. They also have covered outdoor picnic tables with fans running overhead, which was a really nice touch. It made sitting outside comfortable even on a warm day and gave the place a relaxed, laid-back atmosphere. Safe to say this place has officially ruined mediocre burgers for me. I'll definitely be back... and next time I might need two orders of fries because sharing isn't going to happen.

On my return visit, only a couple of months later, it was myself and a friend dining. While this particular rib-eye was much better than my first visit, the service was worse, the price of the same meal had jumped significantly also, so much so that my friend, who has been a LONG time supporter, even commented on the price of his dish. While the steak was good, the twice baked potatoes remain a mystery....I'm used to my 'twice baked' meaning there is much more effort put into them being prepared than simply resembling mashed potatoes with some (cheese) infused throughout ? In closing, I can't say the food was terrible but, the service was 180 degrees different from one visit to the other and the prices CERTAINLY did not measure up to the quality, portion size and service that I've experienced at other restaurants. I walked out of my last visit telling my friend, '"I just spent $53 (tip included) on a meal for one person, I think this will be my last visit here"

This looks like a little hole-in the-wall type of place, so I should've known it would be great! We got hotdogs all the way with no onions, I think they called them "regular." We also got fries and drinks. It was about $24 total, which isn't terrible compared to other hotdog places in the area. Everything was served piping hot and the hotdogs I would argue are my favorite of any in the area. They are a red hotdog and the white slaw and chili are almost sweet. It reminds me of the hotdogs I grew up eating at a local drive in restaurant back where I'm from. It is a walk-up stand and you're served at a window but you can take your food back to your car and eat in the air conditioning or take it back home with you. The lady taking orders was managing phone orders and in person orders while fixing drinks and calling customers up to get their food.
