Main Street Soda Fountain: Reviews & Ratings

We were finally able to try this place on our way to Lubbock on a weekday. They aren’t open on the weekends. Well worth the stop. The building is very historic and provides a great atmosphere. Our waitress was extremely nice and helpful. Just like you would expect. The menu is pretty large but she mentioned the 1/2 lb burgers were hand formed and flame grilled. We all opted for that. They were delicious! Nice crust on the burger and seasoned. Definitely will stop again if we drive thru on a weekday.

I had the homemade pimento cheese jalapeño sandwich with chips and my husband had the South of the Border burger with chips. Both were huge and quite good. The added touch was a homemade cookie that came with the meal. For the amount of food, it was a real bargain.

Great food and even better service, with reasonable prices. The place was busy and we still had our food quickly. This will definitely be a regular stop when we come through town.

Great place if you’re in town or passing by as I was. Found this little Gem of a place sometime back. I’m constantly passing through town and I stop here as much as I can. Service is always great and the sandwiches, let’s just say definitely hit the spot. Delicious! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND STOPPING BY!

This place was EXCELLENT! We had the lunch special on Wednesday-chicken spaghetti, french bread and salad. Our lunch came with our choice of cookies too-chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, peanut butter were all amazing! Cheesecake and fudge pecan pie were great! Our waitress was sweet, quick and helpful! Will come back!

We passed through the town on our way to San Antonio, stumbled across this perfect little shop. We were not disappointed. The building was really cool, the food was perfectly cooked and exactly what i didn't even realize I really wanted! The service was warm and friendly. Highly recommend. If you want the best experience anyway.

We were passing through and stopped for lunch. I had a grilled chicken salad. The chicken was tender. Nothing extraordinary about the salad one way or another. My husband had a BLT and like it.
