The most tender chicken fried steak I have ever gotten. Have tried Soda Pop's twice and have had the same excellent results. Excellent friendly service.
This place automatically gets 5 stars every time I come in here. Everything is always so good and the staff are always super polite and friendly. Happy with my choice to get the Onion Fried Burger because it is among the top of the top of picks for me. Chicken fried steak is a good choice too tbh. And the ranch they have here . I couldn't have a negative word to say about this place if I wanted to. Definitely one of my favorite places to eat
All the people complaining about the frybread tacos haven't gone to enough PowWows, Dances, fundraisers - these were delicious frybread tacos. They were generous, the meat lightly seasoned to satisfy most people's tastes (and they offered sauces to spice it up, so maybe those others didn't take the sauces?), fresh-cooked (not canned) beans, lots of lettuce, cheese, and tomatoes, with the offer of more toppings. For a diner frybread taco, it was well done. My only complaint was the tomatoes. They were beautiful - crisply cut, a ripe red, lots of luculence. Sadly, despite appearances, they were past their prime. This isn't something the people there would have known - the tomatoes LOOKED perfect. It took me several bite to figure out the off flavor was the tomatoes and once I removed them, the frybread taco was very good. My companion had the chopped sirloin dinner and was delighted with it - the mushroom gravy was pleasing, the meat nicely cooked and flavorful, and she was impressed with the potatoes. As for the people, they greeted us when we walked in, gave us space to make our selections, and were helpful as we ordered. The food came out quick, and the waitstaff was attentive without being intrusive. They were kind, polite, professional, helpful, and brought us to-go cups of the beverages we were having. We did not have to track anyone down to pay when we were done - they were there promptly. The ambience was adorable - the place is filled with soda memorabilia and tons of different kinds of soda bottles (some of which may have come from Pop's Soda Ranch up in Arcadia). I don't know if the juke box works as no one played it while we were there. Overall, it was a cozy lunch experience with good food. We don't generally travel to the south side, so this won't be a place we frequent, but it is aplace we will plan to visit when we shop down south.
We've enjoyed Soda Pop's for years. Ordered to-go tonight and had their chicken fried steak dinner and chicken finger dinner. Both were excellent and hot. Chicken fried steak was tender and easy to cut, chicken fingers were crisp and juicy. Their homemade mashed potatoes and gravy taste great like always. The salad with house made ranch was good too. My only complaint was not enough gravy for my chicken fingers, but my husband had enough to share. Best American home style food in this part of the city.
I had fish and it was wonderful and very unique the batter was different than any fried fish ever had very thin and crispy not greasy.. The homemade chicken noodle soup my sister said was wonderful as well. Virginia is the most amazing human being and amazing waitress she will ever meet if you get a chance just request her!!
This was a great find while working in the area recently! I'll begin by stating though that the set up was not typical. You order at the front counter, then get seated and they bring your drinks and food. You pay the server at the end. I don't really understand why the server doesn't just take your order if they are the ones you pay, but whatever. Our server Pamela (I think) was a delight and made our experience even better than it was from the delicious food! I really enjoyed my chicken fried chicken sandwich and onion rings. I also tried the fries which were good too. With similar establishments closer to home for me, I don't necessarily see me coming back here. However if I'm in the area again I would definitely consider it!
