Sophie's Cork & Ale

My husband and I were disappointed. I ordered one of the Chet’s selection/recommendation….. Black iron skillet seared bone in pork chop over fried okra and coastal rice grits. The grits were delicious. The okra was cooked perfectly, but the breading had zero seasoning. The big disappointment was truly the pork chop. It came out on my plate and was breaded. I don’t think black iron skillet seared means that it’s breaded. it didn’t say anywhere in the description that it was breaded. I expected a skillet seared pork chop and that is not what I got. The breading had a little to no seasoning. The pork chop itself had little to no seasoning and the breading slid off. It was supposed to be topped with a strawberry butter, which was pretty good but just it seeped into the breading. The meal was

5 stars all the way around for Sophie’s Cork & Ale in uptown Lexington, NC. Atmosphere was warm and rustic, service was on point and the food was excellent. Jennifer had the Crab Cake sandwich and I had the Shrimp Ramen bowl which was delicious. We will definitely be back to try their other menu creations.

Wow! What an incredible find for Lexington. I moved here from downtown Phoenix a few months ago and have been searching for some high quality dining- Sophie’s delivered. Food is the most important factor for me and the menu here reminds me of the artistic quality I used to find in the city. Customer service comes next- I don’t care if you have the best food in town, if the service is bad, I’m never coming back. We have been treated with such kindness and prompt service at Sophie’s that you can feel that they want you to enjoy your time there. AJ and Gage are wonderful at what they do and our interactions with the rest of the staff have been nothing but delightful. Ambiance is another important factor as my husband and I enjoy our quality time through fine dining dates. The vibe is rustic,

Worth every penny. If you have guest from out of town and want to take them somewhere nice sophie is the place. The prices are fair if you consider thr quality. The best price for a salad thats not just lettuce with chicken slapped on it. You will get a better selection of greens and salad toppings.

Nice place to eat. The place is very cozy and quint. The food is delicious. The staff are very friendly. A must visit when in Lexington, NC. They have live music and all sorts of different wine.
