I don’t know how to describe the atmosphere at Sophie and Pete’s. It used to be called Burger 21, but I guess that’s another chain?
You walk in and have to order from a counter, then you get a number and sit down. The waitress/counter girl brings you the food. It is well prepared. I got a burger, steak fries and a salad. All good stuff, but it’s ala cart. The counter girl did not properly explain what exactly I was getting. In the end, it was too much food and I had to take most of the fries home. I really would’ve appreciated a heads up from the girl, but she was too anxious to get back into a conversation with another employee and the only two other customers while I was there.
Then I realized, I hadn’t ordered a drink and had to add that. It was annoying. I felt the counter girl had really dropped the ball and kind of ruined the experience for me. The food was good, although the salad came with a roll that whole wheat, which I don’t like. Plus it was huge. I really just wanted a side salad. I wish the counter girl had said something.
Overall, I think this place would be an okay take out place, assuming you can’t make your own burger. It was really good and so where the fries, but honestly— I wouldn’t go back unless I happened to be in the area for lunch. And then maybe I would just grab a burger, which was very cheap by itself and delicious.
A confusing place for me.
I give the Sophie and Pete’s 7 out of 10 keggers. Not a bad place for lunch, just understand you’re mostly on your own. I had no problem not leaving a tip. When I have to do that much work and get no basic help, you can forget it counter girl.
