text: Pikes Soda Shop is a fun dining destination located in Southend right on the light rail line between Tremont and West Boulevard I recently enjoyed a tasty lunch here and look forward to returning for brunch and to sample the famous ice cream especially the milkshakes Service was professional and efficient and the chicken quiche made for a satisfying lunch with the accompanying side salad and muffin I did not taste the reuben ordered by my dining companion but it also looked great I love the ice cream sodas here Kids will enjoy sitting at the oldfashioned ice cream soda fountain counter and the lovely patio is available for outdoor dining On Sunday Pikes is open earlier for breakfast and brunch
