| - I like this place. I have lunch here before, and just this morning had a basic breakfast - eggs, bacon, and home fries. The first thing is that North Carolina's idea of "home fries" are far different from what I'm used to in the northeast. Home fries here are really stumpy-french-fries. As a result, ketchup is required. The scrambled eggs were good. You think it's hard to screw-up eggs? Try The Egg at Davidson - they'll screw them up. How do you have a place with Egg in your name, and still make bad eggs? But back to The Soda Shop. The eggs were good, and the home fries were actually stumpy french fries. The bacon was okay, but I think they may have been those microwaveable type - I had four of them, and they were each the exact same texture, length, thickness, width, etc. That's almost impossible with regular bacon. Overall, however, I enjoy the food and the coffee. I wish I could have given the place 4-stars because I really want to love the place - it reminds me of The Coffee Shop in my home town in NJ - and because it's so close to where I live, but I can't. What's holding me back is the overall quality of the food and a staff that isn't on-point. They're too distracted by whatever is going on in the back. There's not reason this place shouldn't be a go-to diner for all of Davidson. It just needs to amp up the quality of the food and the staff. I will be back, however. At least their eggs were presented to me half-raw (I'm looking at you The Egg at Davidson!).
