    This establishment should have ALL the stars just based on service, friendliness and atmosphere alone! Then add the food and the drinks and ALL the additional stars as well. If I lived locally this would definitely be the place o would want to be a regular. I had the Rachel and Old Bay chips and it was outstanding. My Diet Coke was made the old fashion soda shoppe way. This is also a pure class establishment. I cannot say enough good things and seriously cannot wait to come visit again next time I'm up that way!

    A throwback to the old diners. I absolutely love this cute hidden gem located inside Drug City Pharmacy. The guys who work there are super friendly. The decor is charming. The chocolate milkshake is heavenly! I'm lactose intolerant but I just couldn't resist. The food isn't shabby either.

    Custo. Italian cold cut sub

    Very retro to start with, it really gives a spin to restaurant concepts, it created an atmosphere that takes you back to parlor days, quite quaint. Service is excellent, they stay on top of things and plenty of hustle to get all aspects of customer service done. I ordered a cup of homemade chili, so good, it came with sour cream on the side. My husband had the delicious tomato soup and an Italian cold cut sub, all fresh including the sub roll. Something new to us from days past was sugar free phosphates. This is a popular drink among diners there. SF was offered in cherry and black cherry, we preferred the black cherry. Daily specials offered on the board out front as well as on the menu flyer at the table. I do wish they would have French fries, but they offer chips plain or seasoned with an abundant variety. Reasonable prices.

    TLDR: Retro soda fountain in the back of The Drug Store Pharmacy/Liquor store that serves up handmade sodas, floats and cocktails. Also has a lunch/dinner service with tasty daily specials. Vibe: 5/5. Tucked away in the back left corner of The Drug Store Pharmacy, The Fountain is thoughtfully decorated to make you feel you're back in the 50's. A vintage wood top bar occupies most of the parlor with ample stool seating. There are a handful of 2 tops as well as a couple booths for larger groups. Service: 5/5. The wait staff at The Fountain did a fantastic job in providing top notch hospitality from start to finish. Our server was quick to get us seated and beverage orders taken. Food and specialty drinks from the soda jerk came out quickly considering the extra time they take to prepare. Food/Drink: We ordered several things from both the food and drink menus and everything came out fantastic. Beverage wise, we ordered a black cow (root beer with vanilla ice cream mixed in) float, an old fashioned egg cream and a toasted strawberry milkshake. All ice cream based drinks are made with Taharka ice cream which is a local favorite based out of Hampden. On the food front, we ordered the reuben and the all American club. Both sandwiches were piled high with deli meat and came with a side of chips which can be tossed in an array of seasonings by request. Overall, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu and with most items below $8, the value cannot be beat!

    Here me out- you can this hidden gem inside a liquor/local convenient store It's a newer addition to the business and only open certain hours and days but it's a must must check out spot ! They have a limited menu but the portions are huge ! And they have a great selection of house made sodas and floats! For the their milkshakes they only use Taharka flavors which is a Baltimore favorite and you just have to see it with your own eyes

    Sooo cozy with that old time soda fountain feel.

    WOw!!! You walk in and its like being transported to the past. Its cozy, ambient, and has old time music playing. Its also gleamingly clean and crisp. The food was nothing short of impressive, like shockingly good for a sandwich style restaurant. Service was fast and fun and friendly. GET THE CHIPS!!!!! You can flavor them!!! ( Honey mustard - 15 thumbs up!!) All the food tastes like it was made right there. The milk shakes are what I imagine heaven might taste like. The boozy milkshake really delivered on the booze and amazing milk shake taste. (Pinacolada boozey shake was ahhhhmazing) My new favorite place to grab a bite.

    We were thrilled with our visit here. lovely vintage atmosphere. great service. and delicious food. the hotdogs & milkshakes were awesome.

    One scoop of ice cream

    This is the cutest little place nestled inside of a local drug store. I was recently there on an errand and my teen daughter and frnd begged me to go in there and have an ice cream. Apparently the place has a great vibe according to them. Our waiter was awesome, almost felt like I was in a fancy restaurant then a tiny restaurant. He really interacted well with the two teenagers even though they asked him a million questions. I felt very welcomed. The place is set up like an old fashioned soda fountain and lunch counter. I wish I would have taken more photos. We ended up getting a soda which ou can have in like 15 flavors and then on our refill he encouraged us to try another flavor. I had the grape and root beer. We decided to get lunch. I had heard their crab cakes are awesome but unfortunately they were out that day but since I'll be going back I'll definitely get to try them. I ordered a chicken salad sandwich...very good and filling. My daughter got chicken nuggets and her friend got crab dip with pretzel bites. They both enjoyed their lunch as well. We then finished it off with one scoop of ice cream each. DELICIOUS! The prices are very reasonable. At least I think so. 3 meals 3 drinks and 3 desserts was about 30 dollars. I will definitely be going back there for lunch. and/or ice cream soon!

On the plus side my family enjoyed the ribs and crab balls. On the negative side, the fish in my fish and chips was painfully thin and small. Normally you get a nice chunky piece of fish when you get fish and chips. Not only that, l've never had fish and chips where the skin was on the fish. I left most of the skin behind, but ate some of it because the portion was so small. I had to eat something. Please have the chef look up what fish and chips is supposed to look like. Despite being the only server, our wait person was outstanding - it wasn't their fault that they had to handle the entire dining room. . Also appreciated the carafe of water on the table - but why no ice -had to drink lukewarm water. Make sure to ask for prices upfront and verify-for a single crabcake entrée, we paid $63 when it's advertised online as 30. Let the buyer beware.. Wouldn't feel a need to return at this point, too many other better options.

I want to give her praise because before we could even talk about who might have made the mistake, a corrected order was already sent to the kitchen.

I don't usually do breakfast places twice but I would come back for the service and food.We ordered the following: Happy face pancake: 8/10 - she wished it was a little crispier but very good.

We only waited 20 min for a table since it was a party of 2. But I was hearing others wait time was 1 hour or more for large parties.

    I found this restaurant on restaurant.com. I love buying vouchers as a way of trying out new places…read moreand many times I become a regular customer. I will go a distance for good food! This place was different. I went with my mom so that we can both try it out. When we pulled up the place was closed. We sat there a few minutes while I searched for the restaurant on google. Google had the closing time for this place a 9. So, I called the number on the sign outside of the restaurant. It said the number wasn't in service. I tried again just to make sure I dialed the right number. I got the same outcome. I was about to leave but, I wanted to see the number google had on file for this place. As I started to look the number up on google, a car pulled up. I wanted to see where the person was going since no other shop but the barbershop was open. The person didn't get straight out of the car, so I called the number that google had on file and a woman answered. I asked what time will the place close and she said around 6pm. I said ok then hung up. Next thing I see the woman in the car that pulled up a little earlier get out of the car and unlock the door to the restaurant. That woman ended up being the owner. She was very kind. She informed us that she was making deliveries because no one wanted to come out during this caronavirus scare. I understood. Especially being a small business. I work for my dad who have a small business and I know sometimes you don't have the money to hire help. Anyways, I did inform her that I had a restaurant.com voucher. She told us that she that she doesn't accept the voucher. She also told me that she's never taken these vouchers in her 6 years of business. Additionally, she said she's contacted restaurant.com and informed them that she didn't accept them. I was slightly disappointed because she didn't honor the voucher. But I tried to look at it like I supporting another black owned business. When we went to pay, the owner wasn't sure how to use her payment system. After trying my card several times it didn't take, we tried my mom's card and she finally got it to work after several tries.By the time we got finished paying, the food was cold. I think that I can speak for myself and my mom that the food wasn't that good and wasn't worth the $22 we paid for a fish sandwich and 4 wings with two sides. The only thing I liked was the chicken but it did have a few feathers on it and the potato salad was ok. I had to ask her to put my potato salad in a separate container from the hot chicken ( when it was hot). Anyway, when I got back home I looked up the restaurant's website. I saw a link to restaurant.com to purchase discounted vouchers. I then contacted restaurant.com. I'll post a pic of that convo. They just responded to me and I was very disappointed at what I read. So, the owner basically lied to me. I think it's shameful that she would advertise discounted vouchers then say that she doesn't accept them. I can speak for myself and my mom, we won't ever come back. Certainly wasn't worth my trip there.
