Reviews for Elliston Place Soda Shop in Nashville, TN
Stopped here for dinner on a Wednesday night and found out trivia started at 7:00. Fun atmosphere, good menu with breakfast all... day, and great ice cream and desserts. The clientele was 85% college kids from Vanderbilt and all of them had smiles on theirfaces and looked like they were having a great time. Definitely save room for ice cream. Read more
Can't believe I never made it here the 9 years I lived in Nashville! My BIG mistake! Such nice people, incredible hand made... shakes, sadly, we had the last of the Zingers (phosphates soda), since the server said they don't sell enough & so they arediscontinuing it. Since 1939. How can you go wrong with a place that not only survived, but, THRIVED that long in NASHVILLE!This isn't an easy city to please! With ever changing neighborhoods, a plethora of delicious food from all kinds of cultures,Ellison Place has always been a staple. We will DEFINITELY be back on our next trip! So many more things to try there! Love thewalk up window! Love all the smiles from the staff! Read more
Excellent, but there are better meat and threes if that’s what you’re after! (Arnold’s) We went with the intention to try... some more “soda shop” selections but once we looked at the menu we had to try some meat and three options. They were great!I had Turkey & Dressing and my sis had the chicken and dumplings. Both we’re very good. For sides we had turnip greens, mashedpotatoes and gravy, and green beans. All fantastic. We topped it off with milkshakes to-go which were also fantastic. I lookforward to going back to try a burger or something more traditional to soda shops. Read more
This place was absolutely wonderful!!! The food was so delicious. I love the old soda shop decor and theme. You can get... breakfast, burgers or home cooking. We will definitely be going back! Read more
I ordered the meat and 3. The turkey and dressing was absolutely delicious! The turnip greens were tender and very good. The... mashed potatoes were excellent but very small portion size. I would say I had maybe 3 tablespoons of potatoes with a big craterin the middle for the gravy. I did not care for the flavor of the brown gravy, it had a bad/rancid aftertaste for some reasonso I poured it off. The squash casserole was pretty good also, not what I expected and more like a sweet corn pudding withsquash in it but it was good and the portion was double that of the mashed potatoes. The only thing I did not like was thebiscuit, too greasy and tough but that is my personal opinion, I like my biscuits soft and fluffy and not soaked in fat. Myhusband had the burger and did not care for it at all, he said it tasted like a frozen patty, but said the bun was good. OverallI enjoyed the food and the service was friendly although a bit slow since it was so busy. It is a very very loud environment andquite chaotic. Cool retro decor and I would return, perhaps on a weekday at a less busy hour. Read more
The restaurant is done up nicely to represent the older days of dining in a soda shop. The service is warm and friendly. The... food is ok yet I wouldn't go out of my way to dine here again. The fried green tomatoes are greasy, tangy and tasteless. Theyneed more seasonings. The three egg omelette was not to be desired. A three egg omelette should be fluffy and it was flat. Thebiscuits was heaven and dense, not fluffy and flaky. Read more
What a cute place! A true ice cream soda shop. The decor was amazing. The service was excellent. Everyone was so friendly. The... menu was "comfort food". There was a little mix up in what I ordered and what I got but they immediately made it right...with asmile. We got the fried chicken and the pot roast. Both were good. We were too full to order dessert but wanted to try the boozyshakes... milkshakes with alcohol! This place had something for everyone. They even had a gift shop section. Read more
Had a good experience here! The staff was very kind and personable. It kind of had that “Luke’s Diner” from Gilmore Girls... sort of vibe. The Nashville hot chicken sandwich was amazing and super filling. It was a little more pricy than I anticipated,but hey, it’s Nashville. Read more
