Sundrop Shoppe and Lunchonette — Restaurant in Tullahoma

Traveled over an hour and a half to eat here. We walked in around 1 and just stood in the middle of the place. No one came to offer us a table or put us on a waiting list or anything. It was moderately busy but not enough to warrant being ignored. After standing there a couple minutes feeling foolish, a waitress literally bumps into my wife and finally we realize we’re not invisible because she excuses herself for doing so. My wife asks her if we just wait for a table, or get put on a list. The waitress literally said she didn’t know. Who do you ask if not the waitress? Either way we said we’d go outside and wait. We stood outside for about 10 minutes before we saw a man wave us in and offer us a seat beside them. Very nice. Keep in mind this is a small place and sitting with someone may be your only option. We sat at the table for about 5 minutes before we got our drinks. The waitress seemed to be bothered that we took that table but I may just be imagining things. Either way went for the “bottomless” fountain drink. It came with paper straws and the rumor is now paper straws are toxic. Surprised they’re still being used. I ordered the pot roast dip sandwich and the wife ordered the hot Turkey sandwich. They hit the table and The food was delicious. That’s kinda where the satisfaction ended. After we finished we waited and waited for the waitress to come back to ask for napkins that we never had and a refill of this “bottomless” fountain drink. After about 10 more minutes we were finished with our sandwiches and had greasy fingers still waiting for those napkins to show up. I went ahead and pulled my wallet out so I wouldn’t have to wait even longer for her to show back up. Finally a drink came….no napkins. I had to again ask for the napkins. She walked off. My back was to her. My wife was watching her and said “I think she’s doing this on purpose.” She walked all around with a handful of napkins seemingly going everywhere but my table. Finally I got those napkins and was able to sign the receipt with the tiny tip that she earned. The “bottomless” drinks actually mean one tiny 10oz drink and hassle to get any more it seems. We stayed there well over an hour more than we should have just waiting on things. Not a good experience. Again we loved the...

I've never been here before, so I was very anxious to go after hearing how great it was. The food really was good. I had the Club, and the rest of our table had the Roast Beef Dip. None of us were unhappy with our food. The Sundrop Float for dessert and the Caramel Blondie were insanely good. As far as service. I'm not sure if they were short staffed that day, but the service was nothing to compliment. We got our order taken fairly quickly, but then it took almost 40 minutes for our sandwiches to be delivered. We let the server know that at that time, we would be having dessert. Our server never came back, so one person in our group went to the counter to get help. Our entire visit lasted over an hour and a half because, for whatever reason, perhaps they were short staffed. I will probably go back sometime because the food is really good, but in my case, if you need a quick bite between work hours, it might be tough to get in and out. Overall, it was not a bad experience and the place is clean and attractive, and even with the problems the staff...

This place is my happy place. My happy little piece of Sundrop heaven...and if you don't know what Sundrop is, you need to get help. Your life is in shambles, dude. Your whole existence is a lie.
