Pop! A Neighborhood Restaurant
What People Are Saying About Pop! A Neighborhood Restaurant

Citysearch
In Short – With its sleek, '60s-inspired decor and tasteful pop art, Pop! fits right into this eclectic neighborhood. Stylish diners mingle, soaking up the funky, low lighting and promising aromas floating out of the kitchen. Appetizers include a mild-mannered, bubbly, baked cheese to spread on toast. An entree of shrimp stew over Israeli couscous is hearty and deeply flavored. The only truly retro taste is the drink menu--Tab, Orange Crush and root beers bottled by Stewart's, Buddy's and Sprecher bring back fond, fizzy memories.

Great People
by bptak1
Had a great lunch there and then stupidly left by credit card. I'm from out of town and they have agreed to send it to me. So not only did I have good food, a pleasant lingering lunch, good conversation at a nice place, but I also didn't get penalized for my stupidity. Thanks POP.
- Pros: Friendly and honest staff
- Cons: none

3 Hours for a Hamburger, Rude Owner
by Chucho
We went to Pop before the EJ & BJ concert at the Excel. Got there at 5:45, was late for the concert since it took them 3 hours to bring us such complicated dishes as a hamburger and fish tacos. The best part was when the hostess brought over a salad which was split. Problem was they had just brought the same salad 5 minutes before, but did not split it, so we had already split it. When we asked the hostess what was up, she just blew us off and walked away. We later found that this person was the owner! It is one thing to have a bad waitress, slow service etc. it is another thing when the owner treats you like the restaurant name with an extra O, which is exactly what they should rename this place. The food was ok and the only saving grace was my favorite Elton John song was playing as we left for the concert, "Don't let your son go down on me" which was ironic as the sun will soon be setting on this restaurant.
- Pros: Food Was good
- Cons: 3 hour dinner, owner was rude and dismissive

Good Food, Good Service
by blueeberri
I met 2 friends at POP last night at 5:30 pm and we were seated right away. The waiter was friendly and prompt. I had the pork chop special, it was delicious. They liked their food too. I have had the rib special there too, it was great. I have never had bad food there. I got there a before my friends and ventured down to the retro clothing shop on the same block. There is also a gift shop across the street and a coffee shop. I can always find parking. I will definately go back again. Why would you even consider Applebees or Chammps when you have a place near by like POP? I recommend it.
- Pros: Great food, convenient location, parking available. Wine list.
- Cons: Sit close to other guest.
