the fountain on locust

epic sundaes!. what a really fun and unique place! dark, romantic decor and the booth seats come equipped with a radio play! a dramatic soap opera involving an affair between a nurse and s doctor.

my husband and i made a trip here last week for our first visit after one of his coworkers told him that we just needed to get ourselves one of their epic sundaes!

our waiter was crazy awesome! very chill and very friendly and ready to blow us away with fountain magic.

my husband started with the dark and sinister, but chocolate by itself isn't really his thing. so he ordered a second sundae - three coins in the fountain - and he fell in love! if you want mint ice cream, this is definitely the way to go!

i got chocolate brownie cake in a cup with black cherry icecreaminstead of plain old vanilla. it was pretty big and pretty yummy. i can't say the brownie was anything special, but the black cherry icecreamand hot fudge made it all come together. especially considering the huge chunks of actual cherries that i found bite after bite.

i would say that this place has very similar sundaes to crown candy as far as serving size and quality are concerned. so if you want that kind of food, but want more of a dark romantic spot, this is the place for you!

over the top icecreamparlor 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!

fountain on locust is a great and unique spot. the dill pickle soup is excellent and you must have a martini icecreamdrink.

went it for icecream- got an almond joy sunday, which was fantastic. thought the atmosphere was a bit wierd - maybe you need to be more of a hipster than i am to really appreciate it. the icecreamhowever was some of the best i've had anywhere.

excellent soup and the fig and bacon pie was amazing. our waiter was really helpful. the atmosphere was reminiscent of the roaring twenties and made for a great date night. i highly recommend this place for a quick bite or a date night. also, their icecreamis amazing.

we went by for desert after dinner at different place. looking around that might have been a mistake. the food on the tables looked good. we had icecream(upright banana split) and cocktails (thin mint martini). the kids had scoops which i thought we're overpriced till i saw how much they got (too much for them, but could have shared). next time we'll do dinner.

as always, the seasonal icecream(snowflake) is to die for. excellent service as well.

the thought of a icecreammartini was the craziest thing i’d ever heard. the reality was so much better than i’d ever imagined. i felt like i shouldn’t order icecream& alcohol, so i went with orange sherbet and oh was it delicious! one martini was enough to have all of us girls feeling a bit woozy. i can’t wait to head back!

the absolute best hot fudge. recently stopped in the fountain with some friends for a late night dessert. i was very impressed with their fresh-made daily cool whip. the icecreamis of a really good quality, too. the hot fudge was to die for though! the dark and sinister is every chocolate lover's dream come true in a tidy icecreamdessert. if you love chocolate, this will blow you away!

there was one distinct downside to the place. while the subtle lighting was a nice effect and the retro decorations added a unique atmosphere, the sound level was horrendous. when the front door is opened, the sound hit us in the face. the place was far from full and no one was seemed to be overly loud. apparently the acoustics are lend themselves more to bouncing the sound around rather than absorbing any of it.

fun retro eatery. 4 of us stopped at the fountain after a movie recently. the place has a great retro atmosphere, full menu of classic cocktails and icecreamconcoctions. i had the beef stroganoff soup which was quite good. the salads were also very abundant and very good. the drinks were good and the desserts were terrific.

what a beautiful space. it is a lovingly restored art deco themed space with highly-touted icecreamand toppings. my husband and i sat at the bar while we waited for our dinner companions and thoroughly enjoyed watching the staff prepare drinks and icecreamcreations. i had never seen a banana flambeed for use in a banana split. while sipping a hemingway, a cocktail of absinthe and bubbly, i chatted with one bartender about burning man, another about who the "other" member of wham was. not only was i discovering great food in st. louis, every restaurant employee we encountered was friendly, helpful and fun to be around. i wish for more cities like this!

afternoon delight. after a long, hot day, saint louis locals should try out this cool spot. arrive in the middle of the blistering heat, and cool off with wonderful beverages and tasty treats. we were delighted by service and treated to testers of the peanut soup! i ordered for my drink the le fleur- champagne with elderberry liquor and a flower. my friend ordered the and lemon champange fizzy and the thin man special (on wednesdays) and she was overly impressed. i had the signature salad sandwich with the artichokes and the orange and red onion salad. it was a perfect place for chatting. the decor and ambience was top-notch+ a retro icecreamparlor to boot. our server was very kind! i will be visiting again.

loved it. the food is great and we loved the ice cream. we tried the almond joy icecreamfirst.. it was so good we ordered a few more. this place occasionally comes up on groupon with a great deal.

food good, service poor. we ordered drinks and the humus. we asked the rest of our food come later. we had only had our appetizer and drinks for a few minutes when our soup and salads came. timing is important when serving food. the icecreamwas delish.

bypass the wait... sit at the bar. amazing ice cream! the cocount almond icecreamsundae was sooo delicious! my mom makes coconut icecreamw/jack fruit and this even beat hers.

if we sat and ate, the wait would've been 40 minutes, but since we were just getting icecreamand there were two perfect seats at the bar, we ended our night with a delicious dessert. yum!
