Sodosopa

We ended up at SoDoSoPa by accident. The restaurant we were looking for shut down permanently, but SoDoSoPa was a great surprise right in Smithfield downtown. The restaurant was almost empty, and this gave us a chance to talk in detail with our server/waitress. The restaurant is spacious and well light and has a nice bar. This is a chicken/beef/ribs restaurant. Food was served quickly, and in large quantity. I ordered ribs and pulled pork barbecue along coleslaw and greenbeans. The plate included fresh French fries. My wife ordered a hamburger loaded with "all the fixings," as locals say. We really enjoyed this restaurant and we'll pay it a second visit soon.

It was good and not that expensive! We shared a smoked trio of chicken quarters, ribs and pulled pork. We also had collards and mac n cheese. I was disappointed that no bread was served with the meal. Our waiter Justin recovered well with suggesting a fresh pretzel. It was fantastic. Very light, very fresh.

Customer service is good. The decor is pretty unique! Our meal was sufficient. Not out of this world amazing. But merely ok...there was no "wow" factor. In contrast, my drink was SUPER, SUPER YUMMY! I requested she make me something fruity, and she brought magic back in a cup. I really want to give it another try because the waitresses were kind. The food just needs a little pizzazz.

We stopped here for lunch on our way back to Greenville SC, thanks to the strong reviews on Google. Good decision as the food was fantastic, and they had free WiFi so we could get some work done. The grilled cheese with potato salad was delicious. And my wife enjoyed her bacon burger. They've got plenty of seating inside, including a bar area, plus a few tables outside.

This was our (wife and I) first time trying this place out, and I am so glad we did! The atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable. It’s not a huge place inside, but it is big with personality. We were both wanting a good burger for dinner and we accomplished that mission here. We got the fried pickles for an appetizer and they were lightly fried and very appetizing. We both got the desired burger from the menu and neither of us were disappointed with the results. They managed to cook my burger to a perfect medium well and my wife’s to full death (well done). We found the staff to be very nice, down to earth and attentive. We will absolutely make a return visit in the near future!
