About this business

Step into Clinton’s Soda Fountain, sit at the marble bar, and experience a moment in history.

I came and visited for Santacaligon and heard great reviews on Clintons Soda Fountain. When I was trying to order, this worker with blonde messy hair and square eye brows gave me nothing but attitude.

If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have bought anything. Asi... read more

Took almost 10 minutes for the girls behind the counter to ask us if we wanted anything they were to busy cleaning. It was really sad and pricey for nothing special. Not a true old fashion ice cream and soda place.

This has to be one of my favorite time capsules in all of Missouri. I hope it is here for another 100 years!

The shake was not thick, very little strawberry flavor but the large amount of milk just ruined this. Really thought they’d know how to make a great shake.

They put our root beer float and chocolate shake in a plastic cup. We wanted glass not plastic. Everyone had glass. Why did they put ours in plastic. We sat at the counter had to ask if they would take our order. Lady says you have to order down at the end. We were just at that end and no one helped.Two other families came in and got the same rude treatment. They take your order so hateful. Really ruined our experience with them. Sad employees seems to be put out.
