If the retro décor doesn’t take you back to yesteryear, the old-fashioned soda fountain surely will.
And just like the soda fountains of yesteryear, this one serves up a slew of sweet treats and great grub.
The old time sodas, floats, milkshakes, and malts are top-sellers and sure to hit the spot.
Sundaes, banana splits, and other classics are also among the dessert options.
In addition to incredible sweets, the menu features an array of fast food eats, like sandwiches, soups, salads, burgers, and the Corinth specialty – the slugburger.
