Pop's

I'm not going to climb up on my high horse about drinking soda but I don't drink soda often; maybe once a year. However, if you are a soda drinker (and really even if you aren't), this place is fun. It is pretty interesting to see all the different sodas that they carry and I even bought a pineapple orange flavored soda called Kitty Piddle (mainly just because of the name).

We took my daughter here the other day and after browsing the gigantic selection of sodas, we had lunch. We ordered hamburgers (I had a grilled cheese), fried okra, onion rings and french fries. The food was fried so obviously it was good but my grilled cheese was just decent. Everyone else said the hamburgers were great. So overall, I would never come to pops just to eat lunch or grab a soda but it is definitely a fun place to go for people who have never been. I would recommend going when it is dark so you can see the huge soda bottle lit up, which is probably my favorite part. The worst part about Pops is ALL THE PEOPLE...so beware.

Food took about an hour to get to my table. Literally... but I was entertained (had a camera in my hand and the sunset was projecting awesome bottle shades), it was late, I was hungry and my road-mate was geocaching around so I had time to spare... so I waited.  This was our second stop here and both were merely accidental. The first time we were intrigued about the building and stopped to check it out and spent some serious money (more than $2 a piece) on 6 drinks but only because we though it was funny to pick and choose -and in order to "experience it" you pay about double the price of a regular bottle of pop anywhere else, but hey...people pay more than $80 a day to go to Disneyland to spend some serious time sitting in the sun and waiting in line, so what can I say-
Our next stop was also by chance and since we were hungry we decided to give food a chance. The food was ok, I didn't get the Buffalo burger because it is half a pound and I don't think humans should consume that amount of food in one sitting so I got a simple cheeseburger. Nothing to brag about. Vegetarian options were limited (not surprised) but what can I say, I was living were raw, vegan and vegetarian options are a staple part of menus, so is taking time to adjust.
Anyways, if you drive by it, stop and have some fun. And if you have time then order a meal. They need some serious training for employees at this place.

Four of us came here on the Fourth of July because it was on our way to our destination. It was soooo busy. It was a 45 minute wait to eat, but I'm not discounting it for that. It was busy, people were eating.

We just didn't have the time to wait, so we bought some of their pop! It's on the expensive side but it's a 'splurge' thing, I imagine. Not somewhere people go to stock up. They have cardboard six pack carriers you can use to create your own six pack. They sure do have some interesting flavors!

Maybe I'll go back sometime to try the food and update my review!

Also, they Keep It Local! Flat 10% off (purchases at least. I'm not sure about dining in).
