Step back to 1912 at this vintage soda shop, where you can savor classic American eats like grilled cheese and rich milkshakes in a charmingly retro atmosphere.
"Highland Park Soda Fountain, Park Cities. Formerly known (also referred to) as "The Highland Park Pharmacy" this spot is greatness. Literally a pharmacy / soda fountain stuck in time (it's 100 years old). Here is where you order up the best grilled cheese and chocolate shake you've ever had in your life. Don't sleep on the chicken salad sandwich, the palm beach sandwich (grilled pimento cheese), or Frito Chili Pie either. Grab a stool, take a spin, indulge and plan a Netflix binge and a nap for after your visit."
"A 106-year-old establishment known for milkshakes and grilled cheese sandwiches. Closed to make way for a mid-rise development." - Alaena Hostetter
"Just last week, Highland Park Soda Fountain announced that it would vacate its Knox Street home due to massive construction on a new mixed-use development nearby." - Amy McCarthy
"The most nostalgic of the bunch, the shakes and malts at the Highland Park Soda Fountain are made the old fashioned way, because they’ve been doing it that way for more than a hundred years. Since this soda fountain is closing in September, now’s the time to grab a spinny stool and a straw and sip on history over on Knox Street. Choose between vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, pineapple, cherry, or butterscotch flavors. (Cherry is the owners’ favorite flavor we’re told)." - Rachel Pinn
"The beloved 106-year-old soda fountain on Knox Street will close on September 9 to make way for a new 12-story mixed-use development. Owners are undecided on reopening. The venue has been a staple for multiple generations, known for its grilled cheese sandwiches and milkshakes." - Alaena Hostetter
