Pop the Top Soda Shop is Talladega’s top-rated restaurant by Facebook reviews and offers classic American fare and ice cream concoctions in a family-friendly environment evoking the small-town feel of the mid-2oth century. The restaurant was opened in 2014 by Alpine native Ryan Hall and serves a menu full of unique diner fare, including loaded hot dogs, shareable appetizers, and combination plates. Ice cream is available by the cone or the dish in a variety of traditional and creative flavors. Gourmet milkshakes, malts, and sundaes are also available, along with classic fountain sodas and fresh-baked cookies. For adventurous diners, the restaurant’s 10-Car Pile-Up Challenge dares participants to finish 10 scoops of ice cream in 10 minutes for free.
