Sonora is such a unique place to eat. The food is fantastic, the staff is polite, the music is great, its really just such a... chill atmosphere. I'm definitely coming back here. Featured picture is their rabbit poppers, if you can take spice, these are sodelicious. Read more
First time we came to this place a few months ago. The food was good and the service was proper. Today's experience was totally... different. The service was VERY slow. After ordering the food and waiting for it to be prepared we were approached by the twodifferent waitresses asking if we were ready to order (?!) Total miscommunication. Then the food came. We ordered gumbo andseared tune tacos. Both came BARELY WARM, almost cold just as just being pulled from the refrigerator and quickly warmed up.They tasted mediocre at best. We brought it up in the end, got an apology and were explained that the the person at the kitchenwas working his first day (our worst nightmare). To summarize: never again. To add after the owner's response. They NEVERoffered a "dessert on the house" despite what she wrote. Also never explained the cold gambo. Just excuses, excuses, excuses. Read more
We had high hopes as the menu looked great but unfortunately we were pretty disappointed with the food. Most of the dishes were... lacking flavor, under salted, and some came out luke warm at best. Several people got the chicken and waffles and while thechicken was fine, the waffles were so undercooked they bordered raw, which is mind blowing to me. Read more
The French press drinks!!!! Yum! The atmosphere is chill and the food is good. Delightful when you get a chance to chat with the... owner/head chef. She adjusts the end seasonally. Haven't been there yet for a themed weekday evening but hope to make a triviaor blues night soon. Read more
This place was a bit of a dive for years and they did a major rework and rebranding some years ago. We finally got around for a... dinner. Some of the old crowd were still there. Truth is, this place is two, a bar hangout and a reasonably sophisticatedrestaurant. Both shine through clearly. The food choices were well crafted cuisine. Beef tips were really good. The wholefamily enjoyed the entries. Serving sizes were a bit small though. Oh, we were there on trivia night. Intrusive, butsurprisingly fun. I hope they can sort themselves out. Read more
I threw my wedding reception here. We got to make our entire menu whatever we wanted. Melissa, the owner and chef, is something... else. She was excited to hear our ideas and executed them with absolute ease. Her staff are the TRUE UNSUNG HEROES. Laurie, ourmain bartender and the other women and men are A PHENOMENAL!!!! Everything went off without a hitch. If you're looking to havea smaller more intimate setting for your wedding reception, (We had 60 people) THIS IS THE PLACE TO DO IT!!! We love all youguys and will see you soon for something off the incredibly eclectic menu <3 Read more
Came across while visiting town. Amazing drinks (pictured: Delaware St. Punch). Ordered the poutine and duck spring rolls, both... were fantastic. Very friendly owner and nice mom and pop feel. Will definitely be back. Also, check out the back patio Read more
Great little place. Off-kilter menu from the Outlandish Food. Good portions. Great drink and beer selection. Hard to argue with... a place that serves four different types of poutine. Read more
