Enjoyed a really nice dinner here last night with a beyond incredible staff that went above and…read morebeyond to check in on us frequently (server and owner or manager- not sure which) and make sure we had everything we needed and were very happy. I was blown away by how attentive and friendly they were despite being super busy. For the environment, the place felt a bit loud and crowded - which for one was a testament to how well liked it appeared to be (we are visiting from out of state) and how they had to make very creative use of the space as they must cater to so many in a smaller space. It was also clean and quite nostalgic with lots of interesting old time memorabilia - and didn't try to go too cheesy and over the top with the theme though again was a bit too busy and crowded and could have maybe used a more highlighted 'less is more' approach to showcase the ice cream shoppe feel, the old time candy shop ambience, etc. I also loved that there were no tvs to distract from the ppl in front of us, and though time period music would be fun, it might have made it even too much louder. I appreciated very much that they seemed to want ppl to talk and enjoy the company in front of them. The fried pickles app was really good, and the dreamsicle style shake and curly fries - sooo delicious! The ice cream concoctions we didn't try, but saw delivered all around us were huge and fun and looked so good! The BLT was a bit dry and could have used a good mayo or sauce, and my sister's Hawaiian chicken didn't have the Hawaiian bun but it was unique and still not bad. Though with the soda shoppe name I had hoped for more unique or home made soda concoctions or offerings. Overall though- the food was mostly really really good; it seemed cute and beloved and very popular with the town; and there was a clear pride in the place - and very apparent love and appreciation of the customers by the staff which was number one in what I saw and was very impressed by. They just need and deserve a bigger space!

My partner is a huge fan of the hot turkey. Yesterday we popped in i tried the cold mortadela sub and it was exactly what i didnt know I needed. The arrchini pimento delicious there and once we got home. Great selection of infused drinks and love the coffee option. Always on the list when we are downtown!

I ordered the half ($16 total) and only ate half of that, it was adequate. It was really tasty, with a bit of a kick. Lots of meat and melty cheese. My friend ordered the hot turkey and K-hops. I got to taste the turkey and it was bursting with flavor! Sadly I didn't get to taste the Korean inspired Sammy-it went home to the hubby. He said it was fantastic! The shop is adorable. They even have a few foods to go. I got a tub of Moroccan carrots that I could eat like chips they're so good! And the employees were friendly but not overbearing. Really good vibe.

Can't say enough nice things about the people and how super friendly and helpful they were across the experience. The coolest thing about the menu was how unique but inclusive it was all at once. Some more traditional dishes were available but there were plenty of options to taste the kitchen's creativity. Will definitely be back to try more as well as local items from their store section.

That's why it's disappointing to see the prices continue to climb while portions seem to stay the same. My most recent order was 2 pieces of cod, a small side of cole slaw, and 4 steak fries for $15.99 before tax and tip. By the time everything was added, it felt hard to justify the value for what was actually served. I understand food costs are up everywhere, but for a simple meal, the price-to-portion ratio just didn't feel worth it this time. I'll probably still stop in occasionally because I like the market itself, but I do wish they would either adjust portions or reconsider pricing so it feels a little more balanced for regular customers.

The interior is awesome, very industrial, I'm curious what the building was previously. The decor is fun and they have a great indoor "patio" space for gather at large tables, eating, drinking and apparently trivia night on Thursdays. The bartender that helped us was super friendly, and very knowledgeable about their beers. Their food menu is small, but offers some good options for sandwiches, burgers and causal bar food. I got the chicken sandwich with tots. You can pick between grilled or fried, I opted for grilled and it came out quickly. Dinner and the beers we all had were flavorful, I'd definitely visiting again if I go to another show.

It feels like an old school filling station with the gas can lights and the cars on the wall. I took a seat at the bar, I probably was the first customer on the Wednesday. They have around two dozen beers on draft. The bartender let me try a pineapple habanero beer, though the heat was a lot stronger than the sweet. I ordered the triple All American burger with three 1/4 pound patties, cheese, comeback sauce, shredded lettuce, tomato, pickle, and I added grilled onion instead of diced onion. It came on a potato roll, always a good choice. The flavor of the burger was really good, and the burger was super messy. It's one of those that you don't dare put down because it's hard to pick back up again. Really good, maybe I'd add jalapeños next time. For my side, I went with cole slaw. It was creamy, but thankfully,not overly thick and heavy. Maybe a touch more vinegar would have helped balance it out. The Arnold Palmer was served in a plastic cup, a little unusual. The bartender did a great job keeping my beverage cups from running on empty. I would return to try a different beer and go for a burger again or even one of their chicken sandwiches. I saw I can get a triple chicken too!

We will definitely come back.

As you enter there is a sign that tells you to go look at the menu board, pick out your drink, and go back to the counter to order. I grabbed a diet coke, and ordered a Common Cobb. I was a bit surprise when my total came to $18, as my salad was only $14 but I guess I should have paid attention that my bottle of soda was over $3. How much are the fountain drinks, I wonder? I found us a table inside since it was a bit hot that day (there is also plenty of seating outside AND inside if you go downstairs). The table and floor were messy but someone quickly came to clean it for me. They called our names over the loudspeaker and my best friend went to go get our food. She got the MotherClucker. Our food was REALLY good. If you like Cobb salad, you will definitely like this one. The chicken was pan seared perfectly, the vinaigrette was perfectly tangy and the bleu cheese was especially excellent. My friend's chicken sandwich has SO MUCH chicken salad on it. Impressive. There was so many neat items to see in the place. The murals were great, there were some cute retail spaces, a coffee bar up front, a bar downstairs, and ice cream outside! Unfortunately my bestie and I had too much to talk about so we didn't check it out as much as I otherwise wood. I would definitely try this place again!

I wish it had two huge meatballs for all the linguine but it was a huge hit. I ordered the Philly cheese steak on a gluten free roll. The roll ended up being two pieces of bread and came out well after everyone else's food. The only side I could have was fruit but it was delicious. The Philly cheese steak had onions and peppers and was very tasty. The waitress was great but very busy. It was a nice atmosphere, very casual, for a quick lunch with two young kids (2 and 4) . Crayons were provided to keep the kids occupied while we waited on the food.

This month there are new specials and tonight I had the Korean Barbeque Chicken.

We've made a lot of friends from the customer's a Ruckus. Monday evenings we almost always stop in for Music Bingo and dinner. Its always a good time.
