Editorial Review for Elliston Place Soda Shop – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
Think of a house that hasn't been redecorated in decades. The unchanging Elliston Place, which began life as a soda and burger shop and continues today as a meat-and-three and soda shop, maintains a definite '50s decor. Popular with nearby hospital workers and Vandy students and professors, it's a Nashville institution known for serving some of the best shakes in town.

My dad took me and my grandmother here last year because it used to be the "hip" restaurant when he was younger. This place was so disgusting... the seats and table were sticky and dried up food was stuck to nearly all of the tables. The service was slow too... it was just an overall gross place. Oh yeah and my mashed potatoes were cold too. Not recommended.

Pros: Old-fashioned feel

Cons: Dirty, slow service

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

We went to this place because it was recommended in Frommer's. What a huge letdown. The food was tasted like it had been reheated several times. The decor is from the 40-50s but doesn't look like it has been cleaned since then. There was a stick in my green beans. We saw insects on the floor. Can't believe this place passed health code inspections.

If you're looking to cut down on cholesterol, go somewhere else; this '50s diner only serves the real stuff.  See the full editorial review.
