I can't believe that I am from Charleston, 57 yrs old and today is the first time that I have ever visited Trivillian's Pharmacy unless I was there as a younger child. I stopped today to try their Hot Dogs and to get a fountain soda. I told the waitress that this is my first visit. I ordered a Hot Dog with Chili, slaw, onions and mustard. They call it a Hillbilly Dog. I was very pleased that the bun was steamed. Not to crazy about the taste of the chili and slaw was a little bland for me. I added salt and pepper it was Okay, not in the top 5 of my choices. I hope you like it better than myself Inside was nicely decorated. read more

What a gem! As someone born in the 50s, who grew up in the 60s and 70s, I loved the old-fashioned pharmacies with a soda fountain and a grille! Travillian's is classic! I hat lunch one day watching for Ritchie Cunningham, the Fonz and Potsy to walk in! The atmosphere is cute and authentic, and the food decent at a fair price. Nice staff, too! read more

I always forget about this little gem gently tucked away on a back street of MacCorkle Avenue. I've gotten several hot dogs there before and it is always such a treat. Their hot dogs remind me of the ones that my grandmother used to make when I was a kid. They are nothing extremely fancy--just sweet slaw and semi-meaty chili nestled on top of an all-beef weiner. This type of hot dog would definitely be a "hit" at any Church of God's Saturday morning bake sale. My granny was a church pianist, so I know this delightful taste particularly well! Their hot dogs are $2.25, so nothing astronomical about the price. They also do a special on two hot dogs and a milkshake. These are wholesome, delicious dogs that take you on a little stroll down memory lane. read more

Trivillian's has the best egg salad...YUMMY! Just the way I like it light on the Mayo and not a bunch of spices added to it. Myself and friend eat there often and I have never eaten anything bad. The attendants are right on top of everything. A great place to eat when you are wanting a bit of something. It's also a pharmacy and the Pharmacist is glad to answer any question you may have. read more

Stopped at Trivillian's for some hand sanitizers for the in-laws who are traveling from FL back to WV. The hand sanitizer was reasonably priced and the pharmacist was very friendly. While there, I ordered a couple of hot dogs and a cola. The hot dogs hit the spot. read more

Best pharmacy in the state of WV. Caring and compassionate as you could ever ask for. Dave is an absolute blessing. Yes their pharmacy is a businesses but they make your business their priority with care as if you were family. read more

After a long wait for my medicine, I needed to ask the pharmacist a question and he seemed uninterested and put out. He kept looking down at a paper in front of him. That is the last time I will be visiting this pharmacy. I try to support small locally owned establishments, but I'll take my business to Walgreens where they are friendly and helpful! read more

Craved milkshakes while driving through WVA. This is a classic spot in downtown Charleston. With excellent, real milkshakes. read more

My mom went to Trivillian's on the way home to pick up some lunch and my dog's prescription after his surgery. We ordered two cheeseburgers and a basket of fries. After ordering, a worker came out to say that they didn't have any burger buns and asked if we'd prefer white, wheat or rye bread. My mom asked if it would be possible to use an open hot dog bun, which is unconventional, but it tastes more like a hamburger bun. The worker repeatedly asked why and said it was a bad idea since it was the wrong shape. We acknowledged that but said that's what we'd prefer anyway and they stormed off unhappily. Later they come out with two boxes of food and my mom asks if the fries were in one and the two burgers in the other, just to be sure. The person giving her the food says "Well look then!" angrily and then when my mom asked about ketchup the lady said "I tried to tell you about the ketchup while you were looking and you didn't listen!" Overall just a bad experience. We were tired. Maybe not the most attentive customers but what happened to being nice or socially aware? I don't think we'll come back. Shame to be treated so poorly at what could be a good establishment. I hope the workers learn some social skills and patience. read more

A nice old-fashioned lunch counter/diner and small pharmacy combined. Very good chili dogs (grilled buns!), fresh fries, and milkshakes. Sit at the counter or at a table and take a trip back in time. There aren't many places like this left and that's a shame. read more

Nice little locally-owned outfit. Has some things (even in the prescription area) that you can't get anywhere else in Charleston. Prices do tend to be a little higher, but hey, they deliver! read more

Tried to order lunch for our office. Rudest lady informed me "there are NO specials - that's all old". Then, hmm, take it off the internet sites leading to your restaurant. Way overpriced. $10.75 for fries and two hot dogs? Yowza. read more

Just a fine little lunch counter. Hot dogs, fresh cut fries, and similar fare, and nice dairy offerings. It's nothing fancy and the ambiance is 60s formica without real kitchy charm but it's still a great little place. It may not be worth a special trip into town but it's well worth a stop if you're already here. Going to CAMC Memorial for something? Go to Trivillian's afterwards. read more

Slow service, but good hot dogs. It's got the feel of an old diner at first glance, but once you're settled in you realize you should have just gotten something to go to get out. read more

NOT impressed. The pharmacy part was typical, and the staff friendly. However, while waiting for a prescription, I decided to eat at the diner. The staff were very inattentive, and slow. Waited maybe 15 minutes for a root beer float, and then we got a chili dog. The chili was terrible. I ordered a Texas BBQ sandwich, and after 25 minutes I asked about it. They had completely forgotten to make it. After another 10 minutes it came out to me, and was very watery and sloppy. Won't be eating there again. read more

I decided to try some hotdogs today for lunch and it was my lucky day that was their special for the day. The waitress had the personality of a bowling ball and really needs to find another line of work. I placed my order... two dogs with slaw mustard onions easy peasy. Three other guys walked in ten minutes after I did and placed their order with the same waitress. Their order came out first and their lunch was served. I flagged the waitress and asked her why my easy order had not yet come out while the other table that came in after me had already been served. She explained the cook was left handed and made the other tables order first. Finally my order came out and I looked and guess what no onions and plenty of chili on the dogs. I don't like chili and I wasn't going to wait any longer for them to figure this out. I hate to bitch but I told the manager the story and left. I won't be back. I'm done with this establishment read more

My family was traveling back from spring break heading back to Georgia. My wife googled a place to eat in Charleston and came across this place. The description sounded good and thought it would bring back memories from my childhood. Hotdogs, Fountain drinks and homemade milkshakes in a pharmacy so we decided it would be where we would stop. Huge mistake, it should have been a clue when we had to beg a waitress to give us info about where to sit. Talking about customer service, it did not exist. Slow service and the waitress had the personality of a rock. The fountain drinks were the same machine as McDonalds, Burger King or any other fast food restaurant or convenience store. The milk shake tasted like a strawberry Nestle Quick. Probably good thing she didn't ask did we enjoy ? or come back. This place might have been good years ago, but obviously different management. I would definitely pass on this eatery...... read more
