I want to like the Soda Shop, I just can't. Food - just not good or fresh. Most recently we went and had breakfast. We were served cold, instant grits with cheese on top - yuck. Eggs and bacon were ok, but it's hard to mess those up. Staff is not particularly friendly and give the impression that they would rather be hanging out doing anything other than serving you. Ambiance is similar to a 50s era diner, but totally manufactured and not authentic. I'm of the opinion that the 50s are totally over done and the Soda Shop's attempt to recreate that era falls short and it just isn't quaint or charming. I hope they get it together as it has a lot of potential, but they are certainly not realizing that potential.
