Grandma's Soda Shop & Diner

A sign on the door in 2022 says everyplace is short-staffed and to be nice to the people who showed up to work. OK. But this place is obviously a family affair and when there's only one or two customers, service shouldn't be a problem, even for the teenaged son assigned to table duty. But it was. Just no interest in finding out what customers are there for.

Once pushed, we got our order taken and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. I got the Reuben pizza based on reviews here and the fact that I love Reubens. It was OK. Definitely not the bee's knees as suggested by some. My wife said the cherry limeade from their soda fountain was very good. Overall, not a horrible experience but nothing to get off the interstate for.

Good taste, friendly host, and very reasonable prices. I’m full and happy. Nice 1950’s style restaurant. Homemade sodas adds to the authenticity as well. Food presentation isn’t a 5 star, but still nice enough for a diner style.

5 stars, just because this is the only restaurant in Wilson that is open during the week. I had a burger and a shake, and they didn't disappoint. Unfortunately they were out of Bierochs, which allegedly were invented here by Czech immigrants. Friendly service, the good atmosphere in a historic building, and the solid comfort food make this well worth a visit (you might also not have a choice, depending on the day of the week)

Found this place with a Google search for food on a cross country trip. I am really glad we stopped. The food was delicious. The sweet potato fries were the best I've ever had. The beirock was tasty. The Reuben pizza was the star of the show though. I had seen it on the menu online and it had to be tried. I'll just say incredible and leave it that. It's a great little place with good food and a large drink menu. Take the time and turn off the highway you'll be glad you did.
