What year was the Southside soda shop established?

Built in the early 1900s the building was initially opened as a grocery store in 1910. In the 1940s the original Bastian Blessings soda fountain was installed where it still remains, serving sodas, shakes, malts, and floats. The installation of the soda fountain initiated the transformation from grocery store, bus stop and post office to a soda shop. In 1985 restoration began and the South Side Soda Shop was re-opened in January of 1986. Eight years later the dining car was added to the existing building to provide additional seating as well as another look at fifties-style dining. The South Side Soda Shop continues the tradition of a fifties diner, offering home cooked recipes with a friendly face. Since re-opening in 1986 Nick and Charity Boyd have been running the South Side Soda Shop along with their family.

Do you sell whole pies?

Yes they do. All their food was yummy and everyone was very friendly. We specifically went there because of Diners, Drive Inns and Dives 😁

did guy feri like this place ?

Yes, they have a picture on the wall of him with owner.

Are you open yet .really miss seeing everyone

No they are not

Do you have Gluten Free options available?

I'm sure they have items without gluten. What are you looking for? Lastly, I would not regard them as pricey. It is a reasonable price for a tasty burger or Philly cheesesteak.

Love the decor. Real 50's style diner with some great Americana on the walls and what not. Food was quick but nothing special. Under cooked fries and out of a jar coleslaw. For the price it delivered on what I expected. No cheese wiz on the cheese steak so most Philly people probably won't call it authentic but it was still delicious.

The diner itself is cute! The food isn't what you would expect from a diner! Its unique and different! The service was great! I just wasn't extremely impressed with my stuffed shrimp. If I am ever in the area I may try it again. I reccomend anyone to try it, you may like it more than I did!

This place was amazing and the staff was pleasant also. The food was great along with the dessert cream puff, but I did get let down with the handmade bowls. I thought it was freshly made to order but no it was made a sometime then put in the freezer for however long to become stale and cold it was a huge let down for me. I did let the waitress know and she asked if I wanted something else and I ordered the cherry crisp pie to go. With the cone being the only thing to complain about it doesn't lower my rating level this place is a must eat at place. We loved it and will be back when we are passing by. They also love our Hero's in all uniforms. Thank you for treating us retired Veterans respectfully. God Bless You

My little grandchildren had a great time here! And the experience will be memorable for us. My 7 year old grandson stated "I really like this place !" I know they liked all the choices they had for drinks they had never tried before. And their kid's meals had a choice of any of their fabulous ice creams 😉

This place is a gem in the Crown of Goshen Indiana. Great food in a fantastic atmosphere. The staff is friendly and VERY helpful ( Our first time there.) We both started with a phosphorus drink and they beat any fountain pop hands down. Flavorful but not too sweet. I had the Philly Cheesesteak and my wife the Corned Beef. The Corned Beef was tender and not fatty at all. My Philly was flavorful, with the right combo of steak, cheese and onions. (Came with chopped green peppers, but I’ll let that slide given I’m in the Midwest). The onions rings were excellent for the simple fact they were more onions than batter, they way they should be. And the desserts are to die for. Bring you appetite because you will not leave hungry!

I have loved going here ever since I was little. The wait staff are so nice and Nick is always open to making menu items a little more specialized if you're up to trying it. Because of him, my dad can't order a normal philly cheesesteak anymore.

I liked the atmosphere and would like to dine here again to try other items on the menu. I had the fried clams sandwich, which wasn't thrilling and actually didn't sit too well. The curly fries were quite greasy too. I will reserve my judgment however because there was a lot more on the menu that looked good.

The south side is a great place to go if you like an old school classic atmosphere. The food here tastes amazing. Comes to you piping-hot and fresh. I had a BLT, curly fries, and chili. I can tell you that I'm not a big fan of chili. But, after trying their chili I have to go back for seconds. 😋👍My biggest problem is parking. Very limited parking around the building.

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.
