So I don't get the hype but then I do get the hype. As a kid, I grew up in the village and Drug City was where we always picked up prescriptions. I don't recall the "Fountain" in the 70-80's but if you're from the area I totally get the local support and they do have decent prices and discounts. My food today was average although the service was nothing less than perfect. I saw others eating pizza, chicken fingers and comfort food. I had the French dip which was a special today and it was decent. The restaurant is small but does boast a counter bar for any solos. It's worth a visit.
I talk about this place to EVERYONE that I know. The food is really good. Their staff, sodas, whiskey selection, and small pour pricing are friggin great. Can't wait to come back.
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.
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
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.

Ok, I totally get the hype. This is one of Baltimore's best hidden gems. This 1950's inspired soda and deli shop is located in Drug City, which is a pharmacy/liquor store in Dundalk. I grabbed a seat and ordered a strawberry milkshake and some Old Bay/Maple chips. The service was absolutely outstanding. My server Chuck was extremely friendly, talkative, and helpful. He was able to give me great recommendations and made sure I was always attended to. I watched them make the milkshake, which included hand scooped ice cream, strawberries, and strawberry syrup, which was then blended to perfection. They have me the milkshake glass, then the container they mixed the milkshake in that had extra ice cream--I basically got two milkshakes in one! The chips came out and were warm, well seasoned, and there was a TON of them. I liked the sweet and spicy combo of the Old Bay and Maple. They also have an old school jukebox, which is completely free to use. I chose a song and it played for the entire shop, so cool! Between the amazing service, endless flavor combos, and the retro atmosphere, this place couldn't be better. Highly recommend! read more

I had crab cake sandwich with lemon pepper chips. Absolutely delicious. I finished it off with an upside down pineapple pie.10 out of 10. read more
Me and my friends pulled up and filled up the bar in the rear. I must say, we had a ball. We tried so many different types of chips and sodas, it was crazy. Our entrees were tasty and buy one get one half off for happy hour. The pours kept coming and the laughs kept flowing. All I know is we went on a Monday and the bartender took wonderful care of us. What a great birthday! read more

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! read more

Dude. If you haven't been here, you don't know what you are missing. Tiny little speakeasy in the back of a pharmacy with a killer liquor selection (liquor store) inside next to it. Boozy milkshakes, homemade sodas, working jukebox... read more

This was my first trip to The Fountain at Drug City. It came highly recommended, and I can see why! The staff was very welcoming and the food was delicious. The restaurant itself is so cool and old school, but spotless. Don't miss out on this hidden gem in Dundalk. read more
