This is a blast to the past. Very cool old building interior. Stopped by for a lunch in middle of…read moreweek and found plenty of seating. Sat down and was greeted immediately ordering a water and sweet tea. Loved looking thru menu with so many good choices. We were going out for a big dinner later so this was suppose to be a small lunch. My wife ordered a cup of soup. I ordered a bowl of brunswick soup and a grilled pimento cheese sandwich. I could not finish the soup as the bowl was large and amount of meat in it was abundit. My grilled cheese was wonderful, I love pimento cheese. Unfortunately we could not try any of the soda or ice cream products this trip. The service is great and friendly. Restrooms are restored old school design. Will return to try other menu items and some Soda Shoppe product.

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!

Both share the same kitchen. The last few times I have been here strolling around Pittsboro the service has been great. I did go to the larger area where bands play. The attendants were friendly and pleasant. The order came in a timely matter. The food was great and drinks were inexpensive. So having dinner, drinks (10) not all mine. They were of the alcoholic variety. Oh yes an appetizer also cost a bit less than a C note. Not bad don't you say. The decor is very cool here. Carved statues that are for sale. I will come back. They always have great entertainment there.

We've never been huge fans of the food here, but the pizzas were usually decent, so we decided to…read moregive it another try. Big mistake. We ordered the supreme pizza, and when it arrived, it looked and tasted completely undercooked, doughy crust, barely melted cheese, and sad toppings. The vegetables were just large, unappetizing chunks of bell pepper and onion, with canned mushrooms and cheap-tasting meat that reminded us of Domino's (not in a good way). Even the cheese left that same powdery aftertaste definitely not fresh mozzarella. The supposed wood-fired crust had no char, no crisp, nothing to suggest a proper wood-fired oven was used, or if it was, they clearly don't know how to use it. We sat outside by the band hoping for a pleasant atmosphere, but it was anything but. Despite multiple "No Smoking" signs, there were people smoking all around the patio, and staff did nothing about it. If a restaurant can't enforce basic rules, it raises questions about the standards they hold in the kitchen as well. At this point, we're done giving second chances. It's time to move aside and let a real restaurant take over the space

My chicken was tender, but I'm not a huge fan of bone-in chicken, so it wasn't my favorite. The mashed potatoes were very garlicky, which I enjoyed! The main cons were the wait time and it's not really a sit-down and dine in sort of spot (at least that was my impression). We ended up taking it to go and eating our meal at home. Overall, nice spot if you're craving Caribbean food!
