After visiting the National Weather Center, we were ready for lunch. Our original plan was OK Diner near Max Westheimer Airport, but it turns out they're closed on Mondays. My wife found Soda Pops in Moore, and it proved to be a very good backup plan! Soda Pops has a fun, old-fashioned atmosphere with plenty of nostalgia to look at--from the jukebox and colorful soda bottles to all the interesting memorabilia throughout the restaurant. I ordered the catfish sandwich, while my wife chose the chicken-fried steak sandwich. Both arrived piping hot--and I mean take-one-bite-and-start-blowing hot! We shared bites of each and agreed that both sandwiches were very good. The fries were cooked crispy just as we requested, although that particular style of fry wasn't really our favorite. My lemonade was the biggest disappointment because it had very little flavor. My only real frustration involved the tartar sauce. The large catfish fillet had very little sauce on it, so I politely asked for a small side and was told it would cost extra. That was fine--until I saw the $1.39 charge on the bill. Meanwhile, my wife received a side of mayonnaise for her sandwich at no charge. It isn't the $1.39 itself that bothered me. It just seemed excessive for a small condiment that was needed because the sandwich was lightly dressed in the first place. Perhaps serving the tartar sauce on the side would allow customers to use as much or as little as they prefer. That small issue aside, we enjoyed the nostalgic atmosphere, received friendly service and thought both sandwiches were delicious. Soda Pops was a fun lunch stop, and we would definitely return! --Chef T read more

Soda pops is always an excellent place to eat. Food is always spot on and they have the best ranch dressing in town!

I have been eating at sodapops for many many years. As we moved out of town it had been a while since we were able to come back. Everything is still as delicious as I remembered it and some things were even better. The service is excellent and the burgers are delicious! read more

Never been before and don't make it into the area often but will come back here every time I'm in the area. DELICIOUS AND FRESH! read more

Soda Pop's Cafe - Soda Pops Chicken Fried Chicken Breast Dinner - Cafes Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Five stars for the server and because it's tough being a locally owned restaurant. I liked the Texas toast and that the chicken fried steak was served on top of the gravy. I also appreciated the counter staff making sure I knew the brown gravy had mushrooms. I hate mushrooms and that would've been awful for me. Now for the bad news. For a place called Soda Pops, I expected there to be more variety of soft drinks than the standard Coke fare. The fried mozzarella tasted like the kind you buy at the grocery store frozen food section. The mashed potatoes didn't taste very good. Also, you can't get the onion rings as your side dish with the dinner for some odd reason. So, go to Soda Pops, have the burger and enjoy the staff. read more

Where have you been all my life??? I must've passed this café 100 times since I've been on the southside. A friend took me here and I had the Indian frybread. It was the best I've ever had. My friend showed me the 2025 awards which included the fry bread. The restaurant is friendly, clean and neat.The food is delicious. I will be back. read more

Home cooked diner vibes, but very bland. Indian taco was nothing special and the other items felt boring and bland as well. read more

My daughter, grandson and I ordered from here yesterday 6/10. My daughter and I are always looking for a good salad...well we found it here, we had the fried chicken salad and added an egg (because we love egg on our salad), I ordered Onion Rings and my grandson had a burger and ff. Oh my gosh it was absolutely delicious!!! The freshness of everything (even the oil it was fried in) the taste of the chicken on the salad and the Onion Rings were the best I have had...Sonic used to be good, but not anymore. Thanks for a great dinner! read more

Always great food - they've never gotten my drive thru order wrong! Pleasant wait staff and very efficient read more

All the people complaining about the frybread tacos haven't gone to enough PowWows, Dances, fundraisers - these were delicious frybread tacos. They were generous, the meat lightly seasoned to satisfy most people's tastes (and they offered sauces to spice it up, so maybe those others didn't take the sauces?), fresh-cooked (not canned) beans, lots of lettuce, cheese, and tomatoes, with the offer of more toppings. For a diner frybread taco, it was well done. My only complaint was the tomatoes. They were beautiful - crisply cut, a ripe red, lots of luculence. Sadly, despite appearances, they were past their prime. This isn't something the people there would have known - the tomatoes LOOKED perfect. It took me several bite to figure out the off flavor was the tomatoes and once I removed them, the frybread taco was very good. My companion had the chopped sirloin dinner and was delighted with it - the mushroom gravy was pleasing, the meat nicely cooked and flavorful, and she was impressed with the potatoes. As for the people, they greeted us when we walked in, gave us space to make our selections, and were helpful as we ordered. The food came out quick, and the waitstaff was attentive without being intrusive. They were kind, polite, professional, helpful, and brought us to-go cups of the beverages we were having. We did not have to track anyone down to pay when we were done - they were there promptly. The ambience was adorable - the place is filled with soda memorabilia and tons of different kinds of soda bottles (some of which may have come from Pop's Soda Ranch up in Arcadia). I don't know if the juke box works as no one played it while we were there. Overall, it was a cozy lunch experience with good food. We don't generally travel to the south side, so this won't be a place we frequent, but it is aplace we will plan to visit when we shop down south. read more

Great place! The service was great. It was our first time and the server Virginia explained the menu, answered all our questions. Everything was made fresh to order! It was so good I ordered an entree for dinner that night! Grilled pork chops, they were delicious! The prices are really fare so tip your server! read more

The most tender chicken fried steak I have ever gotten. Have tried Soda Pop's twice and have had the same excellent results. Excellent friendly service. read more

The best thing is the ranch dressing. Not sure what they do to prepare but it's excellent. Everything else is subpar. Hamburgers are dry and not tasty. The mashed potatoes are instant (who makes instant potatoes at a restaurant). The chicken fried chicken is ok but again ruined with instant potatoes. Actually surprised it's still open. read more

This place is a hit or miss. The only thing I've enjoyed from here is the chicken fried chicken sandwich. Does not come with a side so sides are separate. Skip the Indian taco, it's not good. The fried pork chop sandwich is alright and their fried fish is okay. I do love their French fries and fried okra. read more

This place automatically gets 5 stars every time I come in here. Everything is always so good and the staff are always super polite and friendly. Happy with my choice to get the Onion Fried Burger because it is among the top of the top of picks for me. Chicken fried steak is a good choice too tbh. And the ranch they have here . I couldn't have a negative word to say about this place if I wanted to. Definitely one of my favorite places to eat read more

Sign said Open till 9 ...arrived at 8 and they were closed.... Lame. What's the point of having hours?

I had fish and it was wonderful and very unique the batter was different than any fried fish ever had very thin and crispy not greasy.. The homemade chicken noodle soup my sister said was wonderful as well. Virginia is the most amazing human being and amazing waitress she will ever meet if you get a chance just request her!! read more

This was a great find while working in the area recently! I'll begin by stating though that the set up was not typical. You order at the front counter, then get seated and they bring your drinks and food. You pay the server at the end. I don't really understand why the server doesn't just take your order if they are the ones you pay, but whatever. Our server Pamela (I think) was a delight and made our experience even better than it was from the delicious food! I really enjoyed my chicken fried chicken sandwich and onion rings. I also tried the fries which were good too. With similar establishments closer to home for me, I don't necessarily see me coming back here. However if I'm in the area again I would definitely consider it! read more

We've enjoyed Soda Pop's for years. Ordered to-go tonight and had their chicken fried steak dinner and chicken finger dinner. Both were excellent and hot. Chicken fried steak was tender and easy to cut, chicken fingers were crisp and juicy. Their homemade mashed potatoes and gravy taste great like always. The salad with house made ranch was good too. My only complaint was not enough gravy for my chicken fingers, but my husband had enough to share. Best American home style food in this part of the city. read more

I have legit loved the chef salad's from this place since I was like 12 years old. I suddenly remembered them out of the blue today and had a super intense craving so down to the south side I went. We ordered the chef salad, fried mushrooms, fried steak sandwich and a piece of lemon cake. Everything was super good! I don't know if I'd ever tried the other things previously, but the chef salad with Italian was exactly how I remembered it. So delicious! The rest was good too, I'll definitely be back! read more

Love coming here. Casual restaurant serving stuff we okies love to eat. Fried okra- chicken fried steak, sweet tea. Been coming here since I was in high school in the 90's and it's remarkably consistent. The workers are always so nice too. read more

Food was excellent. Good selection of food. Had the mushrooms and burgers. Service was good.

Food was decent but service was lacking. . We could see some servers hustling but ours took her time with e v e r y t h I n g. No refill offers. read more

I'm a fan! I work right down the street but never had an urge to try this place. My dad and I decided to try this place out and we were super pleased! Pretty good lunch crowd but fast and friendly service. We ordered a cheeseburger with fries. Simple burger with shredded lettuce, onions, and pickles. No tomatoes if i remember right. Fries were hot and crispy and loved their crushed styled ice. Salads looked pretty good which plenty of people ordered around us. Definitely want to return and try their onion rings! read more

Best chilli cheese burger in the metro, goes great with a twisted tator, I do light seasoning on the tator, and the drinks have perfect crushed ice, for some reason it just makes the soda better, price is good too, with 2 people it's just around the 20 dollar range, just be careful you might end up getting another twisted tator for the ride home, ask for Virginia she's on point with the service, one of my favorite places to eat...so so good!! read more

We stop here after baseball practice every now and then and we're never disappointed! The chicken salad with ranch is the absolute best!!

Great and friendly. service. Love the twisted taters and fries. Good sized burgers. Great stop!

Had a wonderful time. We felt welcomed and wait staff was attentive and our food came out quickly. My wife had the Indian Taco and I had the grilled pork chops. Both were really good. I also enjoyed their jalapeno poppers and we both had the strawberry cake. We'll be back for sure. read more

Went there after 20 years later while visiting in town. Still just as good as I remembered it! Big portion. Around $10. No problem. Kinda cool they got a drive in too. Very helpful for ppl in wheelchair like myself. read more

Best chicken-fried steak in the state of Oklahoma. Yes. Very friendly wait staff -- especially Virginia! The owners need to claim this Yelp page, though -- I want them to know just how delicious their food is, and how much I and others alike think of their establishment. I dine here often. read more

After we were seated in our booth, the server puts out wet floor signs at both ends of our section, there were customers in many of the booths and the floor was not wet nor had anything been spilled. People were walking around them to sit down at the booths. The portion size was extremely small, the charbroiled chicken on my sandwich wasn't even the size of the bread, it was a rubbery preformed not charbroiled on the grill piece of tasteless chicken. The Soda Pops super steak sandwich also had no taste, too much batter and fell apart while trying to eat it, you would think that if the sandwich bears your name it would be a really good sandwich. The fries are an extremely small order especially when you have to pay $2.69 for them! WOW must say the $25 our meal cost we could have gone and had a really good meal. Will definitely not return. read more

Their pork chop dinner and grilled chicken dinners are so good. Best gem though is their bbq sandwich! I can't get enough! Better than most bbq places sandwiches. Mashed potatoes, green beans and okra are so tasty here as well. Save room for some strawberry or lemon cake too! read more

First visit and I noticed almost all reviews are from years ago. Worst meal in a long time and was like pre-made cafeteria food. 1. Indian taco was so over cooked you couldn't even eat it. 2. Chicken fried steak was rubbery, the okra and mashed potatoes were stone cold. 3. Waited 15 minutes just to get our drinks since you have to order at the counter. Two waitresses working and it took 30 minutes to get cold over cooked food. Left after paying $27 and grabbed food from another restaurant for dinner read more

Was hungry and it's close to my apartment so why not try this place out. My cheeseburger with bacon fries and drink came out to $10.17 with tax. So plain and not good at all. Best thing about the place was my Dr Pepper to drink. Stay away for a average place. It's pretty cool as a whole inside. But will never come back. read more

We often come to Soda Pops. When you walk in, you'll notice they place is dripping with nostalgia. There isn't a wall that doesn't have old soda pop bottles on them or an advertisement straight out of the 50's. We like the food and the atmosphere and the service is always nice. I usually get they chicken fried chicken sandwich, only I add cheese and pickles. I highly suggest you give it a try it's really good. My sandwich was cooked perfectly. The outer crust was crispy and flavorful while the chicken was still juicy. The French fries here are unlike the ones you would usually get at a restaurant. They are really crispy and have a nice flavor. Usually, my boys will get one grilled cheese, an order of the chicken nuggets (hand cut and and breaded) and then split everything up between the two. Today, they both got a grilled cheese which was made well. The bread was nice and crispy but still soft in the middle and the cheese gooey. They have really good tea as well. Now, I'm not sure about you, but a good tea can make a mediocre day just a bit brighter. Sigh...I love tea. Anyway, the food is worth the stop in and the service will leave you with a smile on your face. Try it! I hope you enjoy it. read more

What a pleasant surprise it was to encounter this restaurant. I have been to bust restaurants lately but this was a great visit. I has the small steak sandwich that was seasoned prefect and my wife had huge Indian taco. Great seasoning as well. As you have read, from my past reviews, my wife and i love onion rings. This place has the garage best Great seasoning and breading. We'll be back! read more

I don't think I could ever get enough of their Chicken Fried Chicken, their Burgers, the Twisted Taters, I could go on and on about their food! It has been around for almost 25 years and there is a reason for that! Place is AMAZING! Soda Pops will have to shut down to ever loose my business! read more

Seriously overpriced for what you get. I am not certain, but I think they may have raised their prices over the years. The food is decent, but mostly gives me pre-prepared vibes. My favorite part is that the have drive-up places to order and generally have a treat for my dog. For the quality of the food, prices could be lower considering you can get the same thing elsewhere for less. The inside of the diner is nice, definitely on theme and nostalgic. read more
