TheAngryEater happened to see this place listed on Google maps when checking out a nearby restaurant. After checking out their website, TheAngryEater had to try it so TheAngryEater and partner stopped in for a light dinner and, of course, dessert.The place was really hopping and it took 40 minutes to get a table, but TheAngryEater didn’t mind as we could walk up to Grand Street to see the Fox theater (we were visiting from out of town). Once back, TheAngryEater was seated immediately at a small table, and the place was still very busy which made for a loud dining experience. In fact, the volume of the patrons is about the only thing that TheAngryEater would have liked to change.TheAngryEater noted that the menu is extensive, so that every sort of diner probably can find something to eat. One can choose from soups, salads, entrees, some appropriate to vegetable eaters, some for vegetable and dairy/egg eaters, and some for animal eaters. The AngryEater choose the mixed salad sandwich with hand-cut chips his companion the grilled cheese with Brussels sprouts. Even though they we quite busy, the food came out fairly rapidly and was quite good. The salad sandwich is served on a baguette and the amount of salad that is used for filling is so much that it was hard to take a bite. Even so, TheAngryEater loved it. And the hand-cut chips were nearly perfect — the only way they could be better is if they had been brought out fresh from the deep fryer. The grilled cheese was loaded with cheese which oozed out, and the Brussels sprouts were roasted to be nice and crispy.Of course, the real reason one goes to the Fountain on Locust is dessert. We both had a sundae — two flavors ice cream, two toppings along with whipped cream and nuts. The toppings, made in house, were excellent, not at all like those nasty toppings that are commercially made. TheAngryEater definitely approved and would head back for more!Grrr,TheAngrEater
Went to The Fountain after reading their reviews. We were in from out of town and always like to eat local when we travel. We arrived about 7pm on Sunday night. We had a party of five and did not have to wait for a table. On their menu I notice some enticing drink options. I chose a side car, it was very good… and the second one was even better! For dinner three of us decided on the Cuban sandwich with a stutz salad, both were delicious (maybe the best I have ever had). My sister had the roast beef and the kale cup. She said the sandwich was excellent, but would have liked some au jus to dip it in. We all tried her kale cup and thought it was as good as the stutz salad. My sister, her husband and daughter split a sundae really enjoyed it. My companion and I drank our desert. Our waiter Rodney was friendly and efficient plus knowledgable about the menu. When we received our check it was just $40 for two large sandwiches with salads a Blue Moon and two side cars ($7 each). Really enjoyed the entire experience and will definitely be back when we travel to St. Louis again.
Over the top ice cream parlor and soda fountain. All homemade dessert sauces and whipped cream. I had the Banana Bourbon. It was amazing. We also tried the Hot Chocolate. It too was incredible. Fantastic place. Can’t wait to go back!
My boyfriend and I happened upon this lovely place when we were out on my birthday. We we there at noon on a Sunday and were sat right away. I had an awesome Cuban sandwich and salad…but to be honest, the dessert was what I was looking forward to. I had the Three Coins in the Fountain and it was fantastic, though enough for two people. Enjoyed everything about the restaurant, plan to go again!
We came in for lunch on a Saturday. I wasn’t impressed with the menu, I am a variety girl. I was impressed with how delicious and zesty every single item we ordered was though. La picada as a starter, hot cuban sandwich with st louis city salad, hot roast beef melt with hand cut fries, pesto chicken sandwich with fruit cup(upon request) all yummers! They have gluten-free option for bread too! Also, it’s a great place to meet up with friends for a drink, you may need to make reservations, I see that it’s always packed.
My friend was robbed after paying their bill. A person grabbed their bag and took off with their cell phones and credit cards. INSIDE the Fount on Locust. A bus boy handed the bag to the robber person .INSIDE the building. The robber was in the restaurant.
The food is delicious and flavorful. My friends loved the drink options. The desserts exceeded all expectations!! I would visit here often if I lived in the area.
