Live less than half mile from here and finally checked it for the first time. There is limited paved parking in front and side. The back lot is gravel. It is not high scale inside with average noise. I had the hot dog bowl with chili and onions and tater tots. The food was good and in today's market affordable. Had great service and will keep this local gem in my pocket. read more

Archdale Soda Shop - The hot dog bowl. - American Near Me - High Point, North Carolina

Went in to eat sept 2026. My cheeseburger had brown lettuce on it. My wife is allergic to onion we debated on saying telling the waitress but I thought nothing we ordered has onions. Well of course onion was mixed in the lettuce. So she could not eat all her cheeseburger. There was a little black bug crawling on the wall beside us. I'm not an exterminator so I am not sure of the species. It wasn't an ant tho. Mentioned all this while paying and all we got was a oh no sorry. Next time I'll go to burger king at least they would have replaced the burger. read more

I used to love this place, but somehow this establishment like most have lost their way. I arrived on a Saturday around 2:19. I ordered the hot dog special. They weren't overly busy and the service was great. It took 26 minutes to get my food. To my surprise they had done away with the battered crispy fries and switched to run of the mill crinkled cut fries. Never get rid of a great product no matter the cost! The fries were one of the reasons I came. The 26 minute wait to get two hotdogs was unreal! read more

Pretty good hot dogs, REALLY good fried pickles, cheap prices, and a long tradition make this one of the more interesting places you can go have a meal in the small town of Archdale, NC. In fact, it's the only time you can tell your mama you're going out for some A.S.S. and not catch a whuppin'! Keeping it simple is the motto of the century at this place. All you'll find are traditional lunch favorites like hot dogs, burgers, grilled cheese, etc. served alongside some deep fried goodness. If you like, they have ice cream and shakes available. Overall, the general vibe here takes you back to a time long before the internet and it's cache of Yelp reviews existed. Thank goodness the food holds up even today. Everything here is just O.K. in my book. Hot dogs are simple, decent flavor, wish the chili and slaw were a bit more robust... the fries I've had the last couple of times I visited were not crispy enough for my liking. They do have one big time standout though, and that is their fried pickle chips. Man are they good. Do not shy away from ordering them, especially at the cheap prices this place offers on everything! The building itself has seen better days, but really for the price you are paying, it would be hard to find a lot better food wise. I recommend if you are ever looking for lunch in this area, you can't go wrong getting some A.S.S.! read more

Amazing service! and the hotdogs are delicious. and dont forget to add a crisp taste of cheerwine to your meal. highly recommend!

I remember when you could get the food you ordered. Sadly, no longer. I ordered a cheeseburger with chili, cold slaw, and mustard. I got a cheeseburger with just enough chili to feed a housefly, no mustard and no cold slaw. My wife ordered a hotdog with cold slaw, onions, and chili. She got a hotdog with slaw and a thimble of chili. Mustard was microscopic. For many years they were the best in town for fast food. We are left to wonder, "who came along and ruined a good thing?" read more

Today was the first time in years we stepped into this place. We were immediately greeted. Took our orders the food was out in minutes. I had the steak and cheese with fries combo this isn't Philly but that sandwich was on point! Place was clean including bathrooms. We will be back!! read more

The wait staff at Archdale Soda Shop is doing curbside service during our state's lockdown! I have always heard great things about this place and enjoyed my first meal there today. Great prices, super friendly service, quick and well prepared food, and their tots are stars! Definitely a cheat meal worth the steps :) read more

Great food, friendly and fast, fun ambiance. Really good prices and big portions. No hesitation in recommending!

From the minute I walked in, I felt like I was at home. Grandma (I assume the owner) waited on me and her granddaughter ran the cash register. Country music on, while the burgers sizzled on the grill. This place is perfect. Simple, fresh and a fantastic banana pudding. Well done Archdale Soda Shop! read more

Avoiding the chain restaurants we can eat at anywhere, this lunch stop was a lot of fun! The staff is so friendly and attentive. You feel like you've known them for years! Their menu offers a lot of choices. My 98 yr old mom loved the fried bologna sandwich. My husband had the 2 hot dog everything combo- hot dogs had chili slaw, onions...and the $7.99 included drink and fries. O had the cheeseburger combo Everything was delicious and the service was great! read more

Sad to see that they now close at 5pm. Went there today and was told rudely by the lady delivering curb side.

This tiny joint that has been around quite a while, and apparently has a loyal following. It has a limited menu - sandwiches, salads, a Hamburger Steak Plate, a Fish Plate, the usually sides, and milk shakes. I went there to try the hot dog, which someone told me was pretty good. I did not find it so., nor did I care for the fries. The cheeseburger was good though - nice & greasy, but not enough of a reason to try this place again. read more

Good classic "soda shop" type of food. Great service and people. Cool spot. Good pricing.

A classic hole in the wall (in a good way) grill serving soda shop food to a loyal local following. Hamburger was cooked perfectly and tasted good, hotdog all the way (toppings perfect) was excellent, and fries were fine. Service was outstanding--very nice, helpful server who checked on me regularly. Price was about right. But a warning: if you are a snowflake of the environmentalist or anti-gun ilk, prepare to have your delicate sensitivities assaulted, for they use a lot of paper--your food will arrive wrapped in it--and the establishment is heavily decorated with pro-gun trappings (see photos). That said, definitely worth a stop if you are in the area. read more

I've been eating here since high school stg I love it there they have the best hotdogs ever

Excellent quick stop for some down home burgers and shakes. Great music and friendly service.

Always good - best hot dogs in the Triad. (And yes, I've eaten at Kermit's). They are consistently quick to get food out to your car or table and their prices are probably the lowest in the area. read more

Great food and service! Some of the best hotdogs around period! Been coming here for 30+ years and has always been consistently good! My family loves to eat here when we are in the area! read more

Good old fashioned, Little league baseball concession stand type burgers, with all the fixings!!! I love it

VERY disappointing place! It is called a soda shop with big sign in the window for milkshakes no chocolate milkshakes, no chocolate ice cream!! I left I85 to get a milkshake! False advertising. read more

Clean restaurant, very nice staff and great food. You can drive up and they'll come to your car for your order. Prices recently went up, bummer . read more

Archdale Soda Shop - They have great hotdogs and they toast their buns! Try the moose tracks milkshake! - American Near Me - High Point, North Carolina

I absolutely loving getting some A.S.S. when visiting home. I always get a fully-loaded hot dog with fries, and it's always delicious. I have also had their cheeseburgers which are pretty good, but its their dogs that keep me coming back. And for the price? How can you beat that?! I think it's like $6 for 2 hot dogs, fries & a drink. (Don't quote me, though. Sadly I haven't been in a depressingly long time.) My hips & thighs are really thankful I no longer live in the area. read more

Passing through town, decided to stop at the Archdale Soda Shop based on its good reviews. Our server was friendly and attentive. for lunch we had burgers and fries, onion rings and corn dog all good, served wrapped in papers and plastic baskets. Yummy shake too. Good prices. Not a huge place so don't bring a large group expecting to sit together. read more

Quick and easy place to eat. Staff are friendly. Food is average. Milkshakes are awesome!!

I am highly impressed with the generosity these guys and gals showed us today in this heat. Me and my fellow co workers were outside installing fiber optic cable in front of their building and they came out and gave us all free large sweet teas. I've been going here since I was a kid and to see that without asking was a boost in my years of coming here. I think their food is good and for a good price. But that to me shows they care and that's love and we love you guys. Thanks to the staff and management for looking out for us!!! read more

Just a great local burger and hot dog joint! The bacon double cheeseburger and the hot dog all the way were awesome! Will definitely stop there every time I'm in the area for sure!! read more

Archdale Soda Shop is one of the greatest disappointments I've experienced this year. The best I can say for it is the service was decent. The restaurant has been family-owned since 1948, and you can tell that they still pride themselves in family service. The food, on the other hand, was terrible. I had a hotdog with ketchup and onions, and Holly had a cheeseburger with ketchup. Both of us agreed that both were the worst we had ever had. In short, the food is cheap. I can't imagine where they get their food, because frozen Great Value food tastes higher quality than what we were served, right down to the crinkle-cut fries. "Soda shop" is a misnomer. The coke they served Holly came from a can, not from a fountain. When I asked for a Cheerwine, the waitress said they were out. How can a North Carolina "soda shop" ever run out of Cheerwine? The only passable item we consumed was a strawberry shake - strawberry because it was the only flavor ice cream this "soda shop" had on hand. Avoid the Archdale Soda Shop at all costs. read more

This a great little place for lunch. Been here forever and still the same good food. A local meeting place for many and I've been coming here for many moons. A bit of Randolph county hospitality! A sure try if you have never been. read more

Always have a pleasant experience when we eat here. Best hot dogs around and super friendly service. Every time I walk in there's a smiling face greeting me with speeding service and it's always right. read more

This is a great spot for a quick dog and fries meal. Cheap and fast. Friendly staff.

Another local favorite here. Burgers and dogs with your expected side options and good shakes too. Always great service with a smile! Very affordable too, can hardly get a seat around lunch time. read more

The Soda Shop offers basically burgers & dogs, along with milkshakes. Their prices were very affordable as they have daily deals for like $5.50 or so, including fries and a drink. Not too shabby for our family of six. Food quality was good for the $. We would go back. ;) read more

The soda shop has been around for a long time and has a loyal local following. Occasionally they will try to change the menu but they will also listen to customers and change back. Must have been when the above reviewer ate here. The $4 hotdog special and $4.50 cheeseburger specials cannot be beat. The restaurant also has curb service if you are in a hurry or can't find a seat inside. Also now has free wifi read more

Good burgers and typically great service, but their dryers have been down forever limiting their menu or causing a 15+ minute wait for fries. I'll probably not be back for awhile to see if they care enough to get their equipment fixed or not. read more

Delicious steak and cheese. (All I have tried so far). Vanilla milkshake was yummy too. Staff isfriendly. Prices are reasonable
