This is such a lovely place to eat. I just had the ice cream although the signs for the burgers really hyped them up so I guess they're good. I had the fried peach pie with vanilla ice cream. It was amazing. The pie was great, the ice cream was sweet and creamy and rich, and they were even better together. And it wasn't that expensive either. Cost me about $7 including tax. The interior decor is vintage kitsch. Incredible to just look around in awe. This is a small town family owned eatery, and whether you live here or are just passing through like I was, you will want to check it out. read more

I don't enjoy leaving bad reviews for small town restaurants, but since they advertise the #1 Hamburger in Tennessee on their walls and the menu I felt it was necessary. I enjoy driving an hour plus for a good hamburger in a small town. I saw the episode on Tennessee Crossroads about this place and their great 1/2 lb hamburger. The hamburger was large, but very bland. No seasoning salt or anything. The fries cost extra and they were tasteless. I put a great deal of salt and ketchup on them and was still wanting more flavor. A very disappointing experience to drive that far and not enjoy the food. Burger with fries cost $14.50. At that price point I expected more. read more

I would have given 5 stars because the cheeseburger was one of the top 5 burgers that I've ever eaten, however the service was less than desired. A couple young girls, possibly working a summer job with minimal waitress experience, ignored me after taking my order. I ate my burger at the restaurant, but I also placed a to-go order and had to go to the counter to pick it up. No drink refills. No nothing. Finally, the restaurant was full of flies, which was a big turn-off. read more

My wife & I really enjoy visiting small towns throughout Kentucky and Tennessee. This place is located in an older building and decorated with a variety of old signs and advertising. The building was built in 1860. The original storefront was a pharmacy with rich woodworking that still existed; it is a very cool atmosphere. You'll enjoy hot, fresh plates, friendly service, and a true small-town vibe in a town with nearly 200 years of history. We started off with onion rings and wings. I wanted to try the fried green beans but did not get the chance, as I wanted to really try what's advertised as the best burger in TN. I ordered the 1/2 lb Double Bacon Cheeseburger, while my wife opted for the small 1/3 pound double bacon Cheese Burger. They both come with standard toppings of Mayo, mustard ketchsup, lettuce, tomatos onloin and pickles on a fresh sesame seed bun. I have to say that they lived up to the hype; we both agreed they were some of the best burgers we have had. The steak fries are also excellent with just the right amount of doneness and crispiness. My wife had the sweet potato fries as her option with the same opinion. Also, the railroad museum and the Colonel Littleton store next door are great places to shop and enjoy local culture. While I opted for a double-dipped butter pecan, which was excellent as well. My wife went the more traditional route with a hot fudge and peanut milkshake. While things were a little slow compared to other places, I was reminded by my wife of one the other reviews we read: " remember they are cooking your food fresh so it's not McDonald's..." This is in line with the slow, laid-back, relaxed atmosphere that makes this place all the better. This is a must-try if you are in the area. Highly recommend read more

My wife & really enjoy visiting small towns throughout Tennessee. We decided to visit Lynnville a couple of weeks ago and found our way to Soda Pop Junction. Upon reading reviews I discovered the claim that this place has the best burger and milkshake in Tennessee. So, we thought we would try and decide for ourselves. First, the place is cool! I'm a UT alumni, so the orange and white theme is right up my alley! The building is old and decorated with a variety of old signs and advertising. Very cool atmosphere. Service was fantastic!! Nearly every server was a young girl - probably high school and college ages. Everyone was very pleasant and helpful. Orders were taken quickly and the wait for our food was not long at all. This surprised me as they were very crowded. We both ordered burgers and decided to split an order of fries. The burgers were very good - juicy and meaty. Topping were fresh and everything tasted great. I would not go so far as to say this was the best burger in Tennessee, but it was very good. I will certainly go back in the future. If you find yourself in or neat Lynnville, TN and want a tasty burger and fries, then definitely stop in and check out Soda Pop Junction. You won't be disappointed! read more

I love this place! You wouldn't expect the food to be as good in a small town of Middle Tennessee, but it is! Just a short 30-mile drive from where I live in Spring Hill, this cute, little town founded nearly 200 years ago, was the destination. I had seen this restaurant featured by a local on his Instagram page. I bookmarked it on Yelp and have been looking forward to checking it out. We had perfect weather for a mini-roadtrip yesterday. The drive is beautiful, if you take the back roads and avoid the Interstate. Lynnville, Tennessee, is a small town in northern Giles County with a rich and fascinating history tied to its rural Southern roots and strategic location. Despite its small size, with 301 residents recorded in 2022 --covering just 0.33 square miles-- Lynnville has a significant historical footprint, with 59 properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places, underscoring its architectural and cultural heritage. My mom and I arrived at the perfect time, after their lunch rush, just before they get busy for dinner. Our service was excellent and the food was just delicious. I had a Double Bacon Cheeseburger with Steak Fries & Sweet Tea. I expected it to be good, but it was exceptional! As we were leaving, I noticed a basket of mini pies in a basket. I didn't think much of it until I was outside and saw the Lynnville Fried Pie Company, down the street a ways. I put two and two together and decided the pies must be from there. I went back and bought two. One Coconut and one Cherry. They were both amazingly delicious! I'll be sure to come a little earlier in the day next time and check out the pie place. Be sure to check out Soda Pop Junction! You will be glad you did. read more

SPJ has been a favorite lunch stop for us when out riding motorcycles. The burgers and fries have never disappointed. They lost a star for service. While the servers are extremely friendly and seem like good people, they tend to ignore tables once the food is served. I've had to take my cup to the front and ask for a refill on more than one occasion. Yes, they get busy, but they still need to be aware that good service doesn't end until customers leave. Perhaps they need to get more help on Saturdays. read more

We drove a couple of hours to try this little place. They appear to be busy all the time but you could see the kitchen crew had quite the system in place to crank out burgers and fries super fast. The place has a hometown diner, old school burger joint feel and the food lives up to the hype. We really enjoyed the food and looking at the decor while we waited. read more

I debated leaving this review because I don't want anyone to know about this place and then ruin it because it becomes something it's not. The food is great! The price is even better. The ambiance is why I don't want to leave this review but the best part is by far the service. The people of Soda Pop Junction make Soda Pop Junction and these are great people who truly care about their customers and craft! read more

Love stopping in here when we are out riding our motorcycle in the area. The burgers are awesome along with the fried pies. If you stop for no other reason, stop and grab a fried pie from the counter and sit on the bench and eat it while watching the folks pile in.. The service is friendly, however don't expect to walk in and get your food immediately. They talk a little longer than most in getting your food to the table, However remember they are cooking your food fresh so it's not McDonalds.., A must stop if your rolling through... read more

Honestly, the food is fantastic. Our waitress was terrible.... We came in Sunday at 1:55 didn't get food until 3:15. I get being busy and running behind but our waitress didn't come check on us once. My husband actually had to approach her sitting at the bar to get refills. When we finally got our food the service had been so bad we just wanted to eat and get out of there.. sucks. Could of been an amazing experience with a waitress that cared. Even with them running behind. read more

Unique is an understatement this Antique (Tennessee Orange themed) restaurant is full of character! You are greeted kindly by some good folks and treated like a long lost friend when you come in the door! It's rated as best burger in TN so I had to give it a try! I went light & ordered 1/3 lb BCB & it was great! Soft bun, thick cut pickles, crisp bacon, and even spread of condiments a perfect mix each bite! read more

I went there today and waitress came to table I ordered a shake and a cheeseburger with fries. I got my shake and she said your food order is in , I waited 45 minutes and never got my food. Went to the counter and ask what happened she looked at me like a deer in headlights and never apologized once. NO one did I paid for my milkshake and left. Will never go back! When I was telling my wife she said give them a call and ask to speak to manager he didn't care at all. Terrible establishment! read more

Took a nice motorcycle ride on a Sunday with my daughter and stopped here. Ambiance is what your looking for in a building set from a late 1800's pharmacy. We loved it. The service was great and very friendly. We ordered burgers and fries. Burgers were cooked perfect and very flavorful. They also had a good bar that we noticed after the fact. If your bringing kids there's an old locomotive outside. Next visit I'll have to try the Malt's and some Other items. read more

Food was good and service was fast. Interesting wall art and old advertising. I had a cheeseburger, fries and a fried pie. I would visit again if Im in the area. read more

Yes great burgers, friendly staff, interesting decorations of times gone by. Their was a drug store in the back at one time.

Old school burgers and fries. Open kitchen counter where you can witness the organized chaos at the grill. Very rustic and vintage building that is home to this popular local fave. The interior of the dining room is frozen in time with an eclectic collection of photos, and memorabilia from another time and place. Fits in with the "downtown" area shops. We have stopped here before -- most often tied to a scenic drive out in the countryside. read more

Really good burgers. Great fries. Great ambiance. Lynneville is a really cool little town.

Walked in for ice cream at 7pm, and the entire staff just looked at us. They said nothing, no hellos, no welcome......nothing. I figured it was because they close at 8pm, and didn't want to serve us. I thought this until another group walked in after us, and they were greeted and sat.....my group had to just sit at the bar because we felt so uncomfortable! The only difference was we were not local if u get my drift. read more

Best hamburger around. Great people watching and the old store is just neat. The waitress was fantastic. Highly recommended.

#1 rated burger was underwhelming. Our fries were out on the serving counter for 10 minutes before we were served our burger and fried bologna sandwich. Skip the fried bologna sandwich. It consisted of one slice of bologna and some overdone onions. Additionally, when it was time to settle our bill, the waitress led us up to the cash register up front but then told us that she was unable to ring us up. We waited another 10 minutes for the one person in the restaurant (who was busy taking the order for a table of 8-10 guests) to finalize the check. Disappointed. read more

We came for the buffet. $7.99 per person. My brother saw the ad and rounded the rest of the family up. The food was good ole fashioned southern food. Some of the best Mac n cheese. I think my niece ate half a plate of it! Mashed taters, fried chicken, green beans, broccoli casserole, sweet potatoes, a few desserts... so much to choose from. They have always been known for hamburgers and milkshakes. They were even featured on Tennessee Crossroads. I'm docking a star for the bathroom. It was pretty gross. read more

The biggest burger my husband has ever eaten. He said it was very good however super greasy. I had to remind him sweetie we are in the south.

These kind of places make me wish I lived in Tennessee read more

We come into the restaurant, just stand there... the lady at the front just ignores us. There is a sign that says please wait to be seated but a busy waitress runs by and says seat yourselves. We sit and wait almost 45 minutes for someone to acknowledge us, even though there are at least three waitresses continually making eye contact with us. When the sweet waitress takes our order she starts off by telling us that it will at least be an hour before our food comes out. We order, and wait exactly an hour. The food was pretty good and our waitress was really nice! I'm only giving it three stars because of the bad customer service. Also if you made it this far in my review, don't use the bathroom unless you absolutely have to. The floor is caving in around the toilet. read more

My girlfriend and I drove about an hour to come up to Soda Pop Junction the other day after my mom recommend it to me. As we arrived we walked in and were not acknowledged so I assumed we were to seat ourselves which we did, but it took about 10 minutes for somebody to come over and take our drink orders. After coming back with our drink we placed our order. We were one of about 3 tables in the whole place and it took about 30 minutes to get our food out. Overall the service was below average but still very friendly. On a positive note the prices were very good. I only paid $25 for everything we got. Before coming in I heard the had a very good burger so I had very high hopes for the food. I ended up ordering a 1/3 pound double cheeseburger, a plain hot dog, and a side of shoe string fries. Now for the burger it was decent but nothing to rave about. The hot dog I ordered was not good at all. The only positive part of the meal was the shoe string fries which were very delicious. After eating we decided to order one of there banana splits, and it took a while to come out as well. After getting it I will say that this was the best part of my whole visit. It was a very well done and I enjoyed every bit of it. read more

Everyone in our group ordered the hamburger except me I had the small Marinated chicken salad. They ordered the burgers because they saw that they had been chosen best in Tennessee and I had explained to them that the reviews on Yelp were great for the hamburgers. We FINALLY got our food and they were all complaining about the bun being cold, fortunately the meat was hot. I think my group was underwhelmed with the Soda Pop Junction. My salad was SMALL and cost me $5.50, all I can say was it was almost a salad. read more

Let's start with negative, it took a good deal longer then it should have. But I attribute this to the fact that they only have one cook and he needs breaks as well. Everything else was fantastic food good and reasonably priced. Milkshakes are superb. Atmosphere is neat. Sides are at a generous amount. Whole family liked it! Waitress we had was really good and made sure we had enough drinks. I will go back. This place is worth stopping at. If you are there before 4 check out the train museum right down the street and there is also this interesting leather store as well. read more
