| - Thanks to a gross, rainy night I was craving some soup. After living in the North Hills for about 8 months I've driven past stokes probably 100 times. Being in the mood for soup I knew that it was finally time to stop driving by and finally venture in. Stokes Grill is located in a strip mall on Mcknight Road and the interior of the space reflects this. It's large, wide open, and lacking in personality. One thing I did appreciate though was that the interior walls are decorated with art from local artists, all of which is for sale.
For what the space lacks in personality it makes up for in great food. I ordered the Buf Chix wrap, a buffalo chicken wrap full of your standard fixins and blue cheese dressing. To accompany my wrap, and to fulfill my soup craving, I order a bowl of their broccoli cheddar soup. The soup was delivered quickly, piping hot, and in a large portion. I'd say Stoke's broccoli cheddar soup rivals all others out there and certainly defeats Pannera's, my long time favorite.
The reason I give Stoke's 4 stars rather than 5 is the price. A wrap, a bowl of soup, and a fountain drink ran me $15. Yes, the bowl of soup was large and the wrap came with chips, but I feel like this was priced about $3-5 too high. I'll definitely be back to try some of their other soups and sandwiches, but its probably only going to be on days where I'm flushed with cash!
Also its BYOB
