Sophia's Deli & Restaurant

I had this place 2 days in a row ~ got the Cheeseburger and fries both times . Deliciously made , came out HOT and fresh. This spot has an extremely cozy and intimate atmosphere that I really like . The owners/staff are also very kind & pleasant. Give them a try ; , I will add this to my list of staple lunch spots ! !

I really enjoy mom and pop shops. Sophia's Deli & Restaurant serves great lunch food at affordable prices. The staff here is very friendly, and the food portions are generous. Do yourself a favor and order the Greek salad with gyro meat. This place is located in the heart of downtown, and food is made to order here.

Awesome tiny Downtown Cincinnati diner. No frills inside/out, but the food is definitely diner food that satisfies your fast anything goes craving.What I love about this place is that it's been here forever and is family owned and operated. Loyal daily customers are always there, however new comers are certainly welcomed.Low prices and good food and morning hang outs before work is what Sophia's is all about

I visit Sophia's at least once or twice a month. However, I have never given this place a review...which is a shame on my part. Please allow me to make things right and tell you why I gave it 5 stars.Menu: To be honest, I'm only familiar with their daily/seasonal specials. They usually have these displayed both inside and outside the restaurant.Food: Most of the time, (93%), I order the Gyro combo - Gyro, fries and a drink. The food arrives hot, fresh and really satisfying for the money. I have had other specials, (the fish sandwich and coneys). However, I can't help but to go back to the Gyro combo. It's very good, and for a good price. Atmosphere: I usually get my food to go, but as far as I can tell, the place gets pretty busy. The decor is older than most places I frequent, but it's the comforting type of decor. It makes me feel like I can relax...and this is just at lunch time - carry out. That's amazing!Service: I love the service here. The man who cooks always asks how you are when you enter. Awesome! The two women who work behind the counter are friendly and accurate. Double-Awesome! They even tell you to "take care" or "have a good day" upon leaving. You can tell they're invested in keeping business running smoothly and making customers happy. Trust me, that's a rare thing to find in restaurants now. Summary: The good food, comforting environment and great customer service are what keep me coming back for more. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Quaint little diner with no frills. The food was basic as expected but what really made it great was the staff. Our waitress (Nancy?) was a delight and clearly knew all the regulars. She was friendly and talkative without being annoying. We loved watching her interact with all the other patrons - she clearly enjoys what she does!

My favorite diner ever in the history of diners closed so we ventured down the street and stumbled upon Sophia's. Greeted by a coca cola sign out front that says, "Lunch deal Gyro, fries & a drink for $7.50 we decided to go in. The atmosphere is dark and dingy with really only one real light being the entrance. The front is long and narrow boasting a giant griddle and a carry out counter. My mom, my bf and I sat in one of the teeny tiny booths and ordered up two burgs and a gryo meal. Maybe being a total greasy spoon type place (MY FAVORITE) my expectations were too high, but my burger was very very thin and over seasoned, which is odd for me because I usually need to add salt, seasoning to everything! The bf's gyro was fine, but nothing to rave about. It was not horrible, but not super fresh right off the spit like other joints I know in the city. It's hard not to compare to other diners, but this locally owned little spot was just okay and a bit overpriced for what it was. I want to go back and try the breakfast to see if I can satisfy that greasy spoon itch I was lookin' for, but for now, it was just OK.

Had the Gyro special for lunch , everything was delicious and fresh . Everyone in the restaurant are super friendly. Definitely will be coming back to try other items off the menu

Just stopped in for a quick cup of coffee and it has to be the best $2.00 cup of coffee in the city! Wish I had time for breakfast because the food on the griddle looked and smelled amazing!

Great service. Friendly atmosphere. Gyro salad is awesome. Perfect place to stop just minutes walk from the courthouse.

Absolutely loved it. The food was very good and the staff just made it better! They helped me learn about the city and pointed where to head so I wasn't so bored. Thank you so very much Sophia's!
