The Soda Shop is a Davidson institution. it's been here for a very long time, and it is a really neat place to enjoy some old fashioned food and ice cream. Nothing fancy, but the menu is fairly extensive and there are quite a few gems to be found. They also have spectacular freshly squeezed homemade lemonade which is very refreshing on a hot summer day.
I got a nice little surprise in the mail the other day. The Soda Shop wished me a happy birthday and offered me a free ice cream cone. I joined their birthday club a few years ago. So that was nice.
Today I stopped by for a patty melt and a cup of vegetable soup. The patty melt was spot on, and the vegetable soup absolutely delicious. it was made with a tomato base and had a deep, rich flavor. You get a few tasty corn nuggets on the side with soup.
You can also stop in for breakfast at 10 am on Weekdays and at 8 Am on weekends. I recently tried the Blarney Eggs- corned beef hash with sauteed onions, folded into scrambled eggs. Might sound a bit weird, but it was superb.
My favorite ice cream treat is the ice cream soda, but there are many to choose from.
Stop by and enjoy.
