Good stuff, a bit pricy, but hey I’m from Jersey…The pernil sandwich is awesome 6.95 I think, so good I can still taste it from last week, just dont get it with mayo and ask for extra sauce on the side.

I was able to get in as security was closing the doors at 1ish. People were still trying to get in, so Sophie’s had one of its employees stay on the back of the line to tell people they were closed. After a large group had gathered at the end of the line, they got into it with security and eventually with the owners. However, the squeaky wheel gets the oil. They were allowed to stay on the line and get food.

The food was delicious, even though they served me a less than full plate, so now I’m still hungry. Good thing I have my honey nut cheerios.

Don’t bother heading to Sophies – as of 1:30 they are officially out of food. My fault for waiting so long to head over there. Line was huge – security wasn’t even you go downstairs due to the food cutoff.

just got mine, about to dig in. they were handing out little empanadas in line (no pork skins, though!). they stopped letting people get in line about 15 min. ago, so guess they’ll be out of food in a few minutes.

Its definitely worth it to go. The lines move really fast. They have a steady supply of food. If there is seating, its worth it to sit down – they may bring free extras and soda. They give you the flyer while you are on the line.

I mean, I’ve never been to a Sophie’s Grand Opening. From the previous ones, can anyone tell me whether the food will be gone, lines will be ridiculous, etc.?

BTW, the Flyer says Must Present Flyer for Admission.

Sounds like it is on until 2. And there is a decent Mexican place in that ‘mall’.
