The Soda Fountain Cafe — Restaurant in Cleveland

Looking for a throwback to the 50's diner with awesome service, quality food, and low prices? The Soda Fountain Cafe is the spot for you!

With plenty of seating, and drive thru options, you can get a fresh burger under $6 with all the fixins.

We were immediately seated when we entered, but would have waited as it's easy to see why this place was busy.

Our server, Lilly, was attentive - providing down home hospitality with a smile. The ambiance was a simple 50's joint with table seating for 4, booth options, and a jukebox for music choices.

The table tops are decorated with local advertising and a Bible verse, which added to the southern charm.

Our meal was made fresh to order; a single burger and double burger each with a side of fries. The wait wasn't long, but well worth it. Love me a hand smashed burger perfectly cooked!

The burgers were far more loaded than expected. The fries were thick and hand cut. Nom!

Paying was quick and easy, go to the register in the back and tell them your table number. The sodas are obviously where they make their money, but you get free refills.

This is my new go-to burger joint in Cleveland, Georgia - I highly recommend stopping in for a bite to anybody visiting the area or Helen. Lilly, our server, made the meal even better with her warm personality and care.

REASONS TO VISIT: Plenty of parking Very reasonable prices Fresh food Friendly...

Well, I thought about leaving this review when we visited however, decided to let it smimmer for a few days. First of all, it was our first time eating at this establishment. My children chose the place. We have been staying about 20-25 minutes away in our camper because we were displaced as a result of Helene. We’ve been trying to support MANY local businesses (shops, eateries, and even a barber). What changed my mind about leaving this review is the fact that food was BEYOND BLAND (gave me instant bubble gut 1/3 of way through our meal) & our particular waitress seemed beyond annoyed with us. Eyes kept rolling, and the faces were never ending. I ignored them and smiled and treated her very well. She made my twelve year old daughter feel very uncomfortable. Aside from the worse than basic AND burnt food AND the girl showing half of her booty with a bad attitude we STILL decided to purchase t shirts as a memory on our out. Well, here we are two or three days later, taking the T shirts out of the bag and the first one has a full on OIL stain from some sort of machine on the side portion. I didn’t bother looking at the other two. Just packed them away because we’re going back to what’s left of our home in Martinez, Ga. Over all, A SUPER RIP OFF. And I tipped 20% of the OVERALL cost when she...

Holy moly this place was packed when we got there at 1pm on Black Friday. It is a seat yourself dining room, but we waiting about 20 minutes for a seat. Evidently they had two huge groups show up right before we got there. Cameron was our server and did a great job especially considering how busy it was. Got the Angry Cowboy Burger and we got baskets of the fries, sweet potato fries, and onion rings. Everything tasted fantastic. Cole slaw wasn’t my style - too mayonnaise-y... everyone devoured the fries and onion rings and burgers though - and the Smokey Mountain Chicken sandwich. They have Mayfield ice cream so if course we got a chocolate and a strawberry milkshake and an ice cream cone. We are DEFINITELY coming back the next time we come...
