The service is as sweet as the ice cream here. This is the perfect place for lunch or dinner. The salad was a moderate size and tasted great. If you are very hungry try one of the burgers. This was a fun place to eat and look at all of the retro items on the walls.

The Rockin' Zebra Soda Shoppe was SO fun! The ice cream was fantastic, and the atmosphere was retro and a blast. Definitely a fun place to stop!

A great little diner, the Dominic Jalapeño Jack Burger was so good. They were all cooked perfect but the star of the show was definitely the ice cream. Warm brownies, an ice cream sandwich with ALL the toppings, banana split, and a Sunday were all good options and the presentation was so cute. Friendly staff, well kept. Four meals, desserts and drinks for about $60 made it worth stopping for.

What an awesome place, it’s like going back in time, exactly how I would imagine a soda shop would have been back in the 50s and 60s. Staff were amazing and food was delicious. Along with the memorabilia in the back of the store all over the walls and hanging from the ceiling, well WOW. Absolutely loved our time spent here. Extremely yummy frozen hot chocolate .

Found this restaurant on Google and it looked fun. Since Canyon is my hometown and I like to support local we stopped in. This nostalgic restaurant was very enjoyable with the vintage feel and fun signs. Loved the decor! Server not very friendly but did answer questions. My dining companion ordered a cherry limeade because they make them 'old school' which she grew up with. She did not like it. She said the line was overwhelming and it made the cherry taste terrible. On the other hand the food was really good. I would definitely dine here again. **I would not dine here if you're in a hurry. Service was sloooow.

A blast from the past for sure. Awesome place with amazing folks. I know most of it seems to be reproductions, but it brings back all the memories of days gone by. I wish I could open a full service gas station after eating here. That seems to be all that is missing. lol. Awesome Frito pie, cherry limeade and malt. Not to mention you watch the nice lady make it in front of you! Can’t wait to come back here.
