Shoo-Fly Soda Shop

We stopped in for lunch during our “dinosaur vacation” as we wanted to do something local instead of a fast food chain. I didn’t get any photos of the food because as soon as it showed up we all inhaled it instantly. I would say it’s more of a snack place, as it took quite a while for us to receive our 5 top lunch order. (There was also 5/6 people sitting at their only other table and they ordered riiiight before us.) They have a small kitchen from what we were told so we were patient and browsed a little before the food showed up. Stand outs: the chocolate milk shake was amazing. The grilled cheese (Dean Martin) was pretty good. My daughter said her small sundae was great and it was enough for her to split it with her step-brother and there was STILL some left over. Very cute local eatery with lots to browse and shop while your there!

A wonderful family owned soda shop filled with candies from a bygone era.. You can sit at the bar and order a handmade milkshake. Ice cream banana splits all your favorite sweets. A very cool shop with lots of souvenirs to purchase.. Kudos to Mckenzie for making us 2 awesome milkshakes :) If you're in the Glen Rose area, you need to check out the Shoo-fly soda shop :)

I really liked this place. When it is busy it smells like fresh waffles because of the homemade ice cream cones they make. The service is friendly and ready to help. And if it is a toy or candy from your child hood you can find it here.

We stopped by before going to the State Park. We sat at the counter close to where they make the waffle cones. It was lunch and a show! They make the cones fresh and while we waited on our lunch, they gave us one that didn't seal well so we could try it. It was very good.

I ordered the Rockin' Robin. It is a very well made Reuben served with chips and a pickle. My wife ordered the Dean Martin. It is a grilled cheese with Colby jack, provolone, swiss American, pepper jack and bacon. It was so good. We were too full to try the Ice Cream but it all looks great!

If you are in the area please stop by and give it a try!

Macy is the sweetest girl! She was so kind to our family, especially our daughter. I loved this little soda shop. Everything was very reasonably priced and it had that cute old time charm. They also sell lots of candy, knick knacks, etc. highly recommend going!

We were here in September of 2021 for a trip we took to Dinosaur Valley park and stopped into Shoo-fly on a whim. I am sure glad we did. We haven’t stopped talking about how good the soda and ice cream was, along with the service, since we got home. We were in need of drinks today while out and about, and it came up again how much we wished there were something like this closer to us in East Texas.

The girls working were so so amazing and the stuff we got tasted fantastic! There's such a good variety of treats and eating them at the bar was Great. Its also toys and knick knacks for kinds and a boutique-esque shop in the back for Women. There's also fudge!

It's retro themed in a good portion of the shop. I say shop, because other than ice cream and Italian soda's, they sell loads of candy types, with a mishmash of kid friendly stuff, a guy's section, a home decor kinda section, and a women's kinda section with clothes, bags, journals, etc.

Merchandise: A lot of the stuff is pretty cute, if overpriced for the average consumer. They stock journals with fabric attached covers that I've fallen in love with, as the pages are unlined and bound by the cover. The actual retailer that they came from actually price their products way higher than this Soda Shop does. You will need a liquid gel kinda pen to be able to write smoothly in these journals though, not an issue for me.

Food/Beverage: I typically just got vanilla flavoring mixed with coke flavoring for my soda order. Really good prices too. A heads up though: specify the ratio you want for the syrups, especially if a sweet syrup like vanilla is in your order. It can end up very sweet otherwise, which some people might love. I've gotten a perfect 'Vanilla Coke' from here.

I have family that adores their shakes, even if I personally can't offer input on that.

Overall, coming here to check out it out it definitely worth it!!

A really nice small ice cream and soda place.
Loved their hand crafted sodas. Specially the chocolate and coke mix I got.

Awesome old fashioned soda shop! Just today, they made me a Strawberries and Cream Dr. Pepper at the soda fountain! It was amazing! Their homemade waffle cones are wonderful. Gift shop with a Glen Rose flavor with great unique gifts, even a boutique!
