My Review by lindab1437462714 on 5/18/2017 via Citysearch
They must have read the terrible reviews and got their act together because I was there today and had terrific service, great food and an amazing ice cream sundae. Admittedly the toys are all reproductions but folks it is 2017 .....chill…

My Review by XperTee on 2/3/2014 via Citysearch
I only come here for their ice cream sundae and shakes. This place is a classic soda fountain to come get a dessert. The ice cream used is really soft and creamy.

Shady at best!!! by swfl1010s on 2/5/2011 via Citysearch
Fair Oaks Pharmacy had ok food but service was very shady. They got screwed up with the separate bills and told one of us not to come back if she didn't pay the bill. Later they realized the everyone did pay and didn't apologize for the…

Terrible Service by figandrita on 7/5/2010 via Citysearch
This place is Americana alright-packed to the rafters with junk made in China and about half the number of exasperated, unhappy servers required for the number of customers. Plastic chairs that fall over backwards if little kids are…

Awful service... would never go back by superbu on 3/17/2010 via Citysearch
Last time I went to Fair Oaks Pharmacy, I and two other people (who I didn't know) ended up leaving because we could not get service at the counter. I am a 44-year-old, well-dressed, caucasian male, so I guess I can't blame it on…

Ole Fashioned Soda Fountain Ice Cream on Route 66 by Ching on 2/1/2010 via Menuism
Why would anyone serve Ice Cream on a plate? It was the weirdest thing. Our waiter who must have looked...

awesome pharmacy by ellen b on 1/23/2009 via Insider Pages
Needed to get some specific medication. This pharmacy made it. They were also really good working with my insurance company. While waiting, I enjoyed strolling around the soda fountain portion. They have a lot of cute gifts there.

HORRIBLE Service by losangal on 11/15/2008 via Citysearch
This place could be so much fun but the soda fountain service kills the experience. The wait staff are slow and unfriendly. It takes forever to get any service and when you do it doesn't even come with a smile. There are better places…

Experience....Dissappointing to say the least! by icecream1 on 8/30/2008 via Citysearch
I am a big ice cream fan and recently visited the Fair Oaks Pharmacy with my wife for the first time a few weeks ago. After an exciting review by local TV station rating the FOP as a blast from the past with an old fashion atmosphere and a…

HORRIBLE (read: nonexistent) service at the soda fountain by Brian W on 8/9/2008 via Insider Pages
I stopped by recently on a Sunday afternoon to have a phosphate (something I'd enjoyed there before). They were busy, but there was a vacant seat at the counter. I sat there... and sat there... and sat there. I looked around for a menu --…

Nothing fair about Fair Oaks - or even appetizing by cookin4six on 7/2/2008 via Citysearch
I used to love Fair Oaks Pharmacy! Early in our marriage, my husband and I would often stop to get an ice-cream and enjoy the familiar atmosphere and great treats. Unfortunately, it seems as though some things do not improve with time. …

Fair Oaks doesn't even rate "fair" by Nicole H on 7/3/2008 via Insider Pages
Anyone who takes their prescriptions to Fair Oaks Pharmacy, be sure that you check for mistakes!\r \r Having been a fan of the Fair Oaks Pharmacy in former years, I took my four children to the shop to experience one of their delicious…

Best Pharmacy Ever !!! ...ohhhh and the best shakes too =) by hillarygrace on 9/7/2007 via Citysearch
Words can not explain this Pharmacy. A must see. We just moved to Pasadena and I really wanted to see what all the fuss was about regarding Fair Oaks Pharmacy. Besides the fact that they have been in a bunch of movies, sell the best gifts,…

Cute Soda fountain by cubasianchica on 11/23/2006 via Citysearch
This is a great spot to get that old fashion vibe. Its a good spot for ice cream and soda and some stationary shopping. They have really marked up the price on everything though.

Soda Fountain Favorite by alisonkramer on 9/12/2006 via Citysearch
Classic soda-fountain spot - best for an afternoon treat or a lazy afternoon lunch. The shop has some cute trinkets on sale (nothing you need, everything you'd like) in the back, including a fun array of candies and decorations. The only…

A place you must visit in South Pasadena by mitchell s on 8/20/2006 via Insider Pages
Our family loves the Fair Oaks Pharmacy and Soda Fountain. It has an old fashioned soda fountain where you can order great banana splits. You can also buy toys and candy you don't see anywhere else. Did I mention it was a pharmacy…

Perfect retro soda fountain experience! by lizgraphix on 8/14/2006 via Citysearch
This was such a sweet treat! They have the whole retro-soda fountain look down and the guys behind the counter were super friendly. They made us a perfect sundae to share! They also sell retro candies (looking for Black Jack Gum? or…

If you love Happy Day's then you will love this place! by tleyva on 8/3/2006 via Citysearch
Yes I am very big on ambience, so that's one of the reasons why I enjoy this place so much. The service is what you would expect in a small family diner...they were attentive, yet they give you some space once the food has been served.…

cute, fun... but 'in the closet' racists? by Lauren V on 12/7/2005 via Insider Pages
their whole "old school 50's theme" is nice and all, but there's some things back then that aren't all that cool today... like racism. Maybe they didn't see me or my group of 5 when we were trying to flag a waiter or "soda jerk" down for…

Fun, but very overpriced by jennie b. on 11/26/2005 via Judy's Book
I always loved going to the soda fountain as a kid. It was always a treat, and they always had the best ice cream. Then, I started to have a concept of money, and even though I had friends that worked there, I realized that the ice cream…
