Star Drug Store

Built in 1886, the Star Drug Store is no longer filling prescriptions, but you can sit at the horseshoe-shaped counter and order a classic fountain drink (the root beer float is rumored to cure what ails you). If you’re not sure what to eat, we suggest the seven-salad sampler (Italian pasta, Southern seafood, dill potato, and so on). Also delicious are the saucy Pimento Melt on Texas toast and the classic patty melt with melted Swiss and grilled onions. Our meal wasn’t complete without a deliciously frothy egg cream and a banana split.
