This was our first time trying the Soda Fountain, and we are already looking forward to our next visit. We went early afternoon and had a minimal wait, and the staff that took our name and sat us were very friendly. Abby was our server, and we will definitely request her for our future visits. Our drinks were never empty, she checked in on us frequently to make sure everything was the way it should be, and even had great recommendations from the menu. We ordered burgers, chicken strips, and fries for our family. All were great, and the portion sizes were plenty. I ordered the “Everything But” milkshake for myself. I’m usually not a fan of chocolate ice cream, but this one was the perfect amount of sweet. The toppings were even better, especially the brownie. My wife ordered the St. Louis Standard, which she enjoyed as well, and our kids loved the Oreo ice cream. Overall we were very pleasantly surprised with our visit and we can see ourselves coming back often. Thank you Abby for a great first impression.

What a fun and memorable experience! The soda fountain was entertaining, amazing, and truly engaging. Our server, Abby, was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and incredibly efficient. We were served quickly, felt well taken care of, and never once felt overlooked.
The ice cream artist took a bit longer, but it was absolutely worth it. What we received was a true work of art —beautiful, detailed, and stunning. Quality and creativity like that take time, and it showed in every scoop.
Overall, this was one of the best experiences we’ve had here. For the first time ever, we didn’t feel rushed or stuck waiting around—it was smooth, enjoyable, and memorable from start to finish.
Great job, Abby, and thank you for such a wonderful experience!

Soda Fountain absolutely lives up to the hype especially for their shakes! I ordered a simple sundae and holy cow… the portion sizes are unreal for the price. You definitely get more than your money’s worth.
The place itself is so fun and has such a great atmosphere. It feels nostalgic and lively at the same time. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better.
If you’re craving something sweet, this is the spot!

The hot dog was just okay. Everything else was SO good. Grilled cheese sandwich was delicious, fries were on point, milkshakes and cheeseburgers got no complaints. The float with butter ice cream, cake, and whisky was totally worth it! Waitstaff was super friendly and helpful.

Fun location for a quick bite after the aquarium. We did not try the ice cream but did get lunch. Everyone was happy with their meal and full! Prices for basic food was pretty average. Our waiter was friendly and did a great job. Thank you!

We just arrived in town and walked over to Union Station and decided to try this place. There were only a few tables seated, but there was a 30-minute wait. Okay, short staffed, no problem. When it was our turn, we asked if we could sit outside and were told it was closed. Okay, no problem.
It took several minutes for us to be acknowledged. Again, short staffed? We saw two or three servers. The chairs at our table were dirty, but the host did come wipe them down for us. There was also a fair amount of trash in the front area and in both restrooms.
I ordered two orders of chicken fingers, one order of fries, a coke, a boozy shake, and an Everything But freak shake. Chelsea told us that the ice cream line was backed up so she put our freak shake order in so we wouldn’t have to wait. My boozy shake was taking a really long time (like, we already had our food), so she said she added a shot is whiskey, which I appreciated. We got two orders of fries, and they were TERRIBLE. My son said his school cafeteria fries are better. There was zero seasoning and the server seemed so busy that I didn’t want to bother her to ask for salt. So we just didn’t eat them. But we were charged for the second order that I didn’t ask for in the first place. Okay. Several minutes after we were finished eating, she brought out the birthday shake. Which was not what we ordered at all. She showed me where she wrote down my order and said she must have misunderstood me.
So we waited a long time for a table, even longer for the wrong shake (which at $17 kind of irritated me), paid for an extra side of fries that we didn’t want, and didn’t eat either because they were so bad. It’s frustrating to have sub-par service and a wrong order and an extra order and still have to pay for it. I’ve been a server before and if I noticed two completely untouched plates, I would ask if there was an issue. But maybe that’s just me?
My milkshake was great and my son loved the chicken and the honey mustard. Ice cream was solid.

We had Todd as our server. He was one of the best servers I have ever had. The ice cream is great. The “Everything But..” shake is crazy good!!!!! I couldn’t help but return on Sunday! I had the “King.” Wonderful. Jade V was our server today. She was so friendly, thank you!!

Abby was awesome! She knew her stuff and was prompt and attentive.
She was kind to our kids. My daughter (Also Abby), said she’s the best waitress we’ve ever had.
Abby got us in and out, in time for the Polar Express.

The fam was headed to Union Station, so we thought we’d try the Soda Fountain for lunch. It was disappointing.
The good… some of the food was ok with pretty good prices and portion sizes. And the atmosphere was sorta cool.
The bad… there was a fair amount of trash in the outdoor seating area. The rest of the food was not OK. (Our burgers were WAY over cooked, and my shake was not mixed very well.) But the worst was probably our server. Either she was NOT having a good day, or she just sucked at being a server. Not sure what her problem was, but the only reason I didn’t speak to a manager was the fam was waiting on me.
Will we ever go back to Union Station? Possibly. But we won’t be going back to the Soda Fountain.

Me, my spouse, and another couple with us went for dinner today with our 8 month old and their 18 month old after visiting the aquarium. We were sat quickly, we each ordered a mixed drink which didn’t taste mixed at all. We got our food which did taste really good! And then we got our bills and they charged us as a part of 6 which automatically added an 18% gratuity onto our ticket. A party of 6? For a toddler and a baby who didn’t even order off the menu?
