Breakfast was great! Arrived just before 9a.m., told to sit where we wanted. Waitress came with coffee and took our order - French toast special and 2 eggs with sausage for my partner. Food came out quick and served hot! Service was great too, filled our coffee when needed without having to ask and was friendly. Out the door with full bellies in about half an hour!

The Turkey Special was amazing. It was fresh and hot on the plate. Came with stuffing and cranberry sauce. Mashed Potatoes and Gravy with sweet butter corn. & choice of dessert. I had the rice pudding but 2 other choices are available. Reasonably priced and worth the visit. Lots of food options available.

Breakfast was excellent! I love all day breakfast and Sophia's did not disappoint. The staff there is amazing! They are very friendly and the service was so fast that we only spent a total of 40min here. I really enjoyed my breakfast and I definitely recommend that you try the hash browns here they were delicious. The prices here are also very reasonable, especially for a home cooked style meal. The restaurant also feels cozy to me, which I like. I would definitely come here again next time I'm in Sarnia. If you haven't been here before, and you're thinking about checking Sophia's out, I would recommend that you go.

I have been wanting to go to Sophia's diner for the past year whenever I get a chance to travel to Sarnia. This week I finally had the chance to go.. and I was super impressed !! The food was delicious, fresh and reasonably priced for real home cooked meals. The server was friendly and answered all my questions. Their daily specials were really good. I ordered the Sunday special steak and it was delicious. Melted in my mouth. I've been to other steak restaurants and Sophia's was one of the best steaks I've had in a long time. My partner ordered the fish and chips and the fish was also fresh not frozen. I would recommend Sophia's Diner to everyone ! I can't wait until I go back to Sarnia, because that's the first place I will be heading to for a fabulous meal!

Was craving a Turkey Clubhouse sandwich last week and I found the best place in Sarnia to get one, Sophia’s Diner! Fresh, home style ingredients, and the fries and gravy were delicious too! I absolutely recommend eating at this nice little Diner, the food is terrific and service was excellent!
