- Mary Jeneverre SchultzApril 13, 2018Try out the cocktail ice cream libations. They are so good. It's OK to sit at the bar. Great place for people watching as grandparents take their 21-something grandkids for their 1st real-world drink.
- I am simply blown away by this place. It is the fanciest, most old school, beautiful ice cream parlour I have ever been to. I recommend going at night for a fun, romantic atmosphere.
- Kassandra HayesJanuary 12, 2015Everything is great here. I love to bring friends here when they visit from out of town. Sit in one of the private booths to listen to corny radio soap operas. The Peach Belini Float is wonderful.
- Ice cream, of course. Sundaes (big and mini) and milkshakes. Love the banana split. Also great lunch options, and boozy ice cream martinis.
- Debby Asberry-ChuaFebruary 26, 2023The ice cream, handmade sodas, and grilled cheese are all divine. Service was top notch! They even offered to go cups for our ice cream. The decor is a fun art deco. Highly recommend!
- Juan BrooksMarch 9, 2019I love the French onion roast beef. I never had an alcoholic ice cream drink before. But I fell in love with the raspberry lemon drop.

- Karen>ArchCityHomesOctober 18, 2011Save room for dessert! The ice cream is wonderful. Yes, they have fancy concoctions, but don't pass up a simple scoop of ice cream. I love the Zanzibar Chocolate with banana slices on top.
- John ThomasMay 19, 2013The sandwiches are great, atmosphere is fun, & service is attentive. The ice cream, however, is the show-stealer. If u don't have room 4 ice cream after ur meal, try the world's smallest sundae!

- St. Louis sandwich is like pasta house salad on bread. So good! Have with Zanzibar chocolate shakes or black cherry soda.

- Mike FergusJune 5, 2021They call it Fountain on Locust because they serve soda here. Soda comes from fountains. That’s why it’s called Fountain on Locust. I am having a beer though. Beer does not come from a fountain.
- Inessa LokshinDecember 26, 2014All of their soups are phenomenal ,but the tomato bisque is thick, warm and comforting, like nana's old blanket.
