Americana at its finest! Just passing through, we impulsively made the detour after seeing the signs. The owner and staff were terrific. Apparently — her husband had bought the place over 40 years ago and then she decided to open up the old fountain 25 years ago. What a gem!!! She studies the old fashioned recipes and serves them. I had a real phosphorous — it was delicious. Kids had fun requesting different kinds of sodas. The food menu is limited, but good — hard to be compliant with today’s regulations if you want to preserve the historical integrity. Definitely worth the stop. We will stop again.

An old-fashioned soda fountain plus drugstore. One of the better handspun chocolate malts I’ve ever had. And very clean restroom.

Best milkshake I have ever had! There is no parking lot, so you must park on the street. Cross Plains is a small town though, so parking should not be an issue. The store is really cute and looks like it hasn’t changed since 1930. I’m not sure how old the place actually is though. Prices are low and the milkshakes are thick and delicious. I did not have any food.

Ehh. Uhh. Only reason it’s not Meh is because it was pretty darn cheap. I was drawn to it by the I-65 Highway sign for a «1930s Soda Shop.» That kind of thing will get your attention. No parking. We parked on a side street. All right. We went in, and all was cheap, but I was not thrilled that they contradicted the menu about refills. Whatever. The Egg Cream I got was nice, especially as it was the first time I had it, and we enjoyed the Salty Lemonade Soda, but I didn’t feel that the customer service was really up to par. There was a lot of «stuff» for sale, but none of it was really attractive: mostly decorative and for old ladies, as far as I can tell. The food was cheap, so I imagine that its decent, but it won’t be enough to bring me back.

We stopped here on our way back from Nashville. Very quaint and charming. Friendly staff. Everything’s fresh. Try the grilled chicken on pita and the milkshakes. Worth the 4 mile drive through countryside from the interstate.

This place was a wonderful stop and worth getting off the thruway for. The ladies working there, including the owner, were so kind and friendly. The place was filled with locals and was clean and kept pretty original. The back of the building is still a working pharmacy. We had a turkey pita which was fresh and delicious. Their entire menu is on their site. They had a great selection of gift items also.

We finally got to visit here today. It’s been on our radar for six months. It’s very traditional with wonderful service and simple menu. The burgers were great, the beef hot dog was good. The salty lemonade is worth a try. The first reviewer called it pricey, but 9 of us ate there for $ 50. That’s pretty good. It’s an easy 30 minute drive from Nashville. Go! The grill is open from 10 – 2 on weekdays only(I think). The soda fountain has a wider time range.

Looking for a peace of the Heartland? Search no further. Thomas Drugs is a pharmacy/convenient store/restaurant establishment that looks like it’s straight out of Mayberry, USA! The soda fountain/short order grill has a variety of food and drink of options. The folks there are friendly. And the Shakes are terrific. The prices are moderately high for the area, but in general, they are quite reasonable. I definitely plan on coming back for some food in the future.
