What People Are Saying About Highland Park Pharmacy Inc

In Short – This corner store was founded in 1912, and little has changes since, except perhaps the products. Patrons sit at the old fashioned soda fountian-like counter or one of the few tables in the front for eating. Customers looking for toiletries or other products can buy them up front. The very affordable menu caters to classic cravings. Breakfast options include eggs, muffins, waffles, bacon and sausages. Sandwiches, soups and salads round out the lunch choices.

Editor's Tips

What to Drink:
Order one of the shakes or malts for nostalgia.

This is one of my favorite places in town.

by J2M2 at Citysearch

The HP Pharmacy is fabulous. The staff is friendly and the food is GREAT!!!!! As far as all the negative remarks on this place, people need to think about it. How many places do you get to see them prepare everything right in front of you? You have no idea what most places do to your food. I think they do a great job of cleaning and preparing food. Yes, they are very busy sometimes but for the most part you can be in and out in under a 1/2 hour which can't be done many places.

  • Pros: Great Food, Fun Atmosphere, Kid Friendly
  • Cons: Not Enough Parking

Worst Service Ever.....

by mikendc at Citysearch

I joined Citysearch just to let me people know to stay away from this place. It was rated high for good breakfast. We sat down and didn't even get acknowledged for 15 minutes. Not even a glass of water, can you wait a bit, nothing. It wasn't even that busy. We got up and left.

Just to give you an idea that this is not just everyday gripe, we were dressed very nice for church, and pleasant when we walked in....and nothing. I think other people around us were also getting annoyed at the lack of service there. Some guy was standing there sighing and waiting at the register for 5 minutes before the lady came along and accepted the bill. Then she walked right by us without a single word.

  • Cons: This tops my worst service in any place that I've visited.

Magazine's Can Lie

by Sunshinegirl123 at Citysearch

Read about this place in Paula Deen's Magazine so thought it had to be good. Wrong!! Maybe her picture crew got better food or more of it, but for the high prices and poor amount of food given, I would not recommend this place. If you live close by and want to look, that is fine, but with the price of gas just buy Paula's magazine and you can look at the pictures at a lot lower cost. My other complaint was that my counter space was not very clean. The girl gave it a quick swipe....not good enough. Still had some sticky stuff and needed to grab her attention for another good wipe-down. Be your own judge.

  • Pros: Old Timey Look of Pharmacy/Fountain Bar
  • Cons: Expensive Food....Stingy With Quanity

Not Sanitary

by jr78 at Citysearch

We were enjoying our sandwiches and milkshakes at the counter last saturday when we witnessed something that was downright baffling. You would think it would be pretty hard to make a sandwhich with 1 slice of meat in an unsanitary way but they succeded.

We watched as the girl behind the counter went from cleaning dishes in the sink with plastic sanitary gloves on to directly grabing another customers sandwich right off the grill and cutting it touching the food with the same gloves.

Only after doing this did she discard the gloves that were soaking wet in dirty dish water in the trash.

Me and my girlfriend couldn't believe what we just saw. We didn't say anything but should have, we were just so shocked.

Thats the first and last time we stop in there for an overpriced sandwich which consisted of 1 slice of turkey and cheese on regular white bread.

  • Cons: Food handling procedures
