Fast Break: Original Dearman’s Soda Shop

For a burger and shake with a retro vibe, look no further than the checkered floors and red barstools of Original Dearman’s Soda Shop at the corner of Corporate Boulevard and Jefferson Highway (Map it!). The menu offers a range of sandwiches, hot dogs, malts, floats and other old-fashioned fare, all in the kind of authentically vintage environment that makes for a refreshing break from emails and iMessages. A fully-dressed bacon cheeseburger and small order of fries come in under $10, and it’s well worth the price—the burger is as tasty as it is massive and even the small fries are enough to share. Cozy up to the booth for lunchtime and drop a little extra cash on one of the restaurant’s shakes (especially the hot fudge). Call 924-1391 to place an order. —Kaci Yoder
