Around here, coke can mean a soft drink in general, but if you order a coke at a restaurant it means a coke and not something else.

There are some that might give you a Pepsi instead of a coke or a Mr Pibb instead of a Dr Pepper (if they still make Mr Pibb), but those are places one should avoid anyway.

I used to occasionally take bourbon into restaurants.

Even though they pretty much knew exactly what it was, it was always in a plastic cup and so they let it go. On the other hand, one time my younger brother had an empty beer can in his hand and they made him take that back out.

One night four of us went to a IHOP to order supper. Three of us ordered our meals but my younger brother wanted pizza. At one point, he got up and walked out the door and we didn't seem him again for a while.

After a while he showed back up carrying a pizza box from the pizza place next door. The waitresses wouldn't let him bring it in so he took it out to his pickup to eat.

After a bit I needed a refill for my coffee and there were no waitresses around. The only employee we could find was the cook. I looked outside and every waitress from the IHOP was sitting on the tailgate of his pickup eating pizza and drinking beer with him.

"lemonade" is pretty much what us Americans call sprite or any lemon/lime soda.

"lemon squash" is lemon soda to America

"lemonade" to America is lemon juice, sugar, water. Something refreshing on a hot day, what kids sell at a stand during the summer, what carnivals and theme parks sell, etc.

If you've ever listened to a server give a spiel about how "we carry Pepsi products", then you've encountered Coke and Pepsi's trademark-protection training. Both companies will threaten restaurants with legal hassles and will send training staff to teach waiters/waitresses about trademarks if one of their "secret shopper" team members catches a restaurant/server substituting one product for the other without blathering on about which version of carbonated flavored sugar water they sell.
