In Short
Across from the Davidson College campus, it looks like it hasn't changed since it opened in 1951 with vinyl booths and laminated tables and walls of original Wildcat athletic paraphernalia. The crowd is a mixture of young families, older alums, and the earthy-crunchy college crowd. Burgers, club sandwiches and wraps coexist peacefully with a few vegetarian selections. For dessert, they offer "The Best Old Fashioned Milkshake," a phosphate, or an ice cream soda, among others.

It's great when the weather is warm to sit out back and just relax. The food is always yummy..must try the grilled pimento cheese sandwich!! (delish)! The staff is always smiling and chatty!! Got to love the toys that are there for the kiddos too!

I like eating at the Soda Shop, but it has so few seats that it's usually difficult to find a place to sit. And, don't even think about taking young kids who need high chairs there -- there's no room for them! The atmosphere is really fun, though, and the food is very good.

The Soda Shop is great fun. There is often a wait at peak times, as the restaurant is small. I love the mom and pop staff and the old-timey atmosphere. Not gourmet food, but good food!

Where to Sit:
On your first visit, no matter how crowded, wait for a table. The ambience is too fun to skip with "take out."
The Extras:
You'll need a long walk after that Brown Cow, so plan to spend a few minutes strolling the Davidson College campus or checking out the quaint shops nearby.
