South Side Soda Shop

I love this diner and my family and I have been coming here for years. It is worth the drive every time. The food is always good and the staff is so friendly. I recommend trying their philly cheesesteak at least once. They always have a good rotation of their specials and those usually tickle my fancy. Their pies are house made and always delicious. This place is a hidden gem, but always worth the visit.

We discovered South Side Soda Shop on "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives." We absolutely loved South Side Soda Shop. The food was great and the service was excellent. The restaurant is full of character! The South Side Soda shop supports our military by offering a military discount.

The best place in the Midwest for authentic Philly cheese steak sandwiches!! Great onion rings & much more! Wonderful family atmosphere.

Guy Fieri from Triple-D is absolutely correct, the South Side Soda Shop has a Philly Cheese Steak that is a good as you can get in Philly. Buns are flown in daily from Philly. Meat is great and you can get Cheese Wiz on it. Their phosphate sodas go straight back to the '50's. If you want do wade into the deep end, get a float made with your favorite phosphate soda. And if you've saved room have a piece of their Coconut Cream pie, it's to die for. The decor will remind you of a good old soda shop.
