When you enter this store you are not sure that you can have breakfast here. Because the sign says Pharmacy. The first part of the store is where you can get ice cream, apple pie and other food. The back end is the Pharmacy. We ordered the breakfast special which consists of two eggs, two pieces ig bacon and 4...

This is a place one should go to relive the era of the soda jerks and neighborhood drug store. The only thing missing was the comic book rack near the front.
We went for Ice Cream and were not disappointed. All the people in the store were friendly, the ice cream delicious and service exceptional. The prices for regular food...

I decided to go here because it came highly recommended by my trolley guide, not to mention it is a great piece of history. I had a sandwich and a shake. Everything tasted great and if I am ever back, I will try the vanilla shake (I had the chocolate one this visit).

On our recent trip we stopped here for lunch. It is like eating in a small scale dinner. We had the Pulled Pork BBQ sandwiches and my husband also had a grilled cheese. All tasted great. We need to go back to try a milkshake!

They used to advertise it as "Goolrick's MODERN Pharmacy," but actually, it is an old-fashioned drug store (still has an operating pharmacy), with a soda fountain. You can get a nice lunch here.
