A: Soda Pop is the reason that I live. When I found this store years ago, I thought I was in heaven. In my normal life I drink my staple 3 sodas: Pepsi, Dr. Pepper and MR Pibb. When I want to want to be different and wild and let my hair down, I visit Pop the Soda Shop. I usually end up getting more that I can carry, but end up drinking them all on the way home. For those people that miss soda in a bottle, this is the place to go. I love to get NEHI, Crush or Hire's Root Beer. I usually also get one that has ingredients that would make most people cringe. You will have fun here deciding what to choose, and what to choose next time you come. Try a soda made with sugar instead of corn syrup, you will love it!

Q: negative

A: 30 mins sitting at a table, waitress never showed. Walked out with nothing. Why does this place exist?

Q: positive

A: This is my favorite market for a few reasons. I like its simplicity, I like the quality of their branded products, and most of the prices are great. Here are some of the F&E brand items I enjoy and buy frequently: The salad kits. Particularly the Bistro and the Southwest ones. They're delicious, filling, fresh, and under four dollars a bag. Much better than other grocery stores' ready-made salads. The 98-cent vegetable bags. These are promotions and come in various sizes depending on the product, but they're normally worthwhile. I've gotten this deal on baby carrots, green onions, eggplant, apples, oranges - just to name a few. French or Italian loaves. They're not the best loaves you'll ever eat, but for a quick $0.99-1.29, it's usually fresh, crunchy, perfectly chewy, and delicious. Yum. They make really wonderful sandwiches. Pasta, juice, milk, cheese, ice cream, condiments, canned goods, and sun-dried tomatoes are a small part of a long list of wonderful products that they produce. Again, wonderfully priced and I just LOVE the simple packaging and branding. The staff is also very friendly and helpful. This is definitely my favorite grocery store.

A:
I have only been here a couple of times, however that was enough to determine that Mad Mex is far superior in every way.Had nachos with chicken as an appetizer-rather flavorless and nothing special.I ate the "3 amigos" as my entree-1 beef minitaco, 1 carnitas minitaco, and 1 chicken minitaco. They were all very bland, the tortillas were soggy, and frankly the beef taco was inedible.Everything I have ever ordered at Mad Mex has been very tasty so since they are both so close to eachother in shadyside-walking distance in decent weather-I see absolutely no need to go to Steel Cactus-head right to Mad Mex!
