Nostalgia at it’s finest. Wether you’re old enough to remember when they had soda fountains in the back of drug stores or just young enough to hear the stories of yesteryear, Fox’s is truly a place you’d enjoy, especially if you have an affinity for the past. Walk in and it’s your regular mom and pop drug store. Veer to the left and there you’ll find a soda counter that’s been around since sometime in the mid-19th century. You can either sit on one of the swivel seats at the counter and opt for one of the tables. On the menu is your basic diner fare. Eggs, pancakes, burgers. Nothing exciting. Everything’s average except for the prices, which are also a relic of years past. A tenner will allow you to walk out quite full and then some. Everett, the guy that runs this part of the shop, is also a shout out to the past. An older guy, he takes his time to prepare anything. Don’t go if in a super rush because it isn’t going to happen. He takes his time preparing whatever you want. But it’s worth it. You know why? The malts. 100 stars for the malts! Not that I have malts often at all but I opted to try it here. Am I glad I did! Best effin malt ever! His slowness pays off here. The malts are hand made. He puts real malt balls in and mixes by hand, then puts it under a mixing machine for a few seconds. OMGSOGOOOOOD. Mine was chocolatey and creamy and malty in the way only the most proper of malts can be. You’ll also get not just a glass full; he makes extra because he feels the whole tin should be filled in order for it to be proper. At $ 3.50 a pop, this one can easily make a meal for two or a dessert drink for 3 or 4 people. This is quantity + quality at its best.
