Step back in time and enjoy the nostalgia of The Fountain's old-fashioned soda fountain. Days gone by are captured when you order up old time favorites like cherry Cokes, milkshakes made with hand-dipped ice cream, or hand patted hamburgers. Whether you are hungry for a hearty breakfast, an enjoyable lunch, or early afternoon snack, The Fountain offers a wide range of delicious choices. Order off the menu or try one of our Daily Specials. Great food served at a great price. That's the reason that after 60 years you'll still hear people say Meet me at Smith's Drugs Fountain. Monday -Friday 7:30 AM - 7 PM Saturday until 4 PM
