    When it comes to the pharmacy and the shopping experience, this place is a total 5/5 stars! When it comes to the food from the Fountain, it's also 5/5 stars. The reason I can't give this place a 5/5 star review though is that it seems like the older women who run the Fountain have an attitude problem, and it's pretty consistent. Wish they could fix that up because otherwise it's a stellar place and I eat there often.

    We really wanted to give this place a great star rating because we heard great things about it but I'm a stickler for cleanliness, hand washing and gloves when preparing food all of which DID NOT happen with the 3 cooks/waitresses that were working today. They went from handling money, taking orders with order pads, touching their face for sniffles, pushing their hair out of their face directly to grabbing buns, lettuce and other condiments to put together tenderloins/burgers not once washing their hands or putting on gloves as they handled ours as well as other people's food. For that reason, I only ate the fries because they weren't touched. My husband ate the rest because well he doesn't care if he gets sick or not. He did say the food was good so there is that and the staff were really nice. They just need some serious education on washing their hands!

    The food was amazing. Had the Tenderloin with fries, only $ 7.29 with tax. The sandwich is huge, waitress told us some people order a 2nd bun to make 2 sandwiches. Highly recommend for good food at a place with am old fashioned soda fountain.

    10/11/2023 We made the 50 minute drive specifically to see if they really have and old fashion 1970's style pizzaburger at their Soda Fountain. THEY DO! Got there about 1 and they were moderately busy. It's a limited menu board, but that is the beauty of a soda fountain. The two gals were busy but friendly and the locals know what they want so that makes it easier for them. We told our server that we heard they had pizza burgers and she confirmed they did, so 2 pizza burgers fries, ice tea and a chocolate shake under $20. We will go back

    The café in the back is exactly what you want from a small town café including breakfast. Coffee and small town lunch. Also, supper time.

    We came here for a small town lunch experience. The 2 ladies who worked in the food service area were extremely RUDE. When asking about a choice of soup off the menu board, stated didn't have any soup or sandwiches. Their walk in refrigerator was broken so on things from the grill. So what would those item choices be?? She was not interested in explaining. I guess that means hamburgers and fries? Wouldn't the ground beef have been refrigerated prior to cooking....but they don't have a walk in refrigerator....we ate elsewhere. On didn't even look at my husband just kept walking. Try China Cafe. Good food, large portions and friendly service!

    Went there around 4:30. The cook had no gloves on, then she continued playing on her phone while she was handling all the food. Sorry, but this is beyond gross.

    The ladies in the pharmacy are EXTREMELY RUDE! I get maybe you’re having a bad day… but I called 5 times this week. I found out her name was Darcy. Every time, they advised for me to call back the next day at X time then they tell me the same thing. I simply would respect if they could just say, we can’t help or I don’t know the answer. The worst part is, while being extremely kind and patient - I called back, the last times they just hung up and you could hear the phone slam. All I got to say was hi, I’m calling in for my grandma - didn’t even get one more word in… Simply just had a question regarding picking up meds for a family member? Don’t understand what happened to have a customer treated that way. Luckily, two stars because there is a male pharmacist who is extremely kind and said maybe it was their phone system. I knew was not… because I heard the phone slam. Twice. Unfortunately I had to write a review because there’s no reason to be treating anyone like that, especially if customer was not being complicated/rude and patient. Good luck to you but we will NEVER be coming back here. Not once had I had an odd encounter like that
