Huntridge Pharmacy & Soda Fountain

Pleasantly surprise by this gem! This is a «dairy» restaurant so no meat, that also means no bacon. I ordered eggs with hash browns and toast. Even the butter they give you with the toast was delicious! They gave me a mountain of hash browns! I couldn’t finish it! Also, I put up a picture of the OJ served being only half way full, I must say that Joseph, the red bearded guy walked by and filled our glasses with OJ, so I stand corrected. My plate was only $ 3.95!!! Also, they didn’t have banana’s for the Elvis pancakes but that did not stop them! They promptly sent someone to the grocery store to get some so we could have our meal! I must say I give them props for going out of their way to please their customers!!! I wanted to try a milkshake but I was so full I couldn’t have one.
I would come back if I am in the area. One of the best holes in the wall places!

This place is different than most restaurants. This place is a drug store, yet they have this diner right smack dab in the middle of their store. Triply… Also because this place is «KOSHER» They do not serve bacon or sausage here. So I ordered the «Elvis cakes», which consist of peanut butter & chocolate chip, with whipped cream on top, with bananas in it also. Friendly service, although we are the only 2 customers here. Lol… I’ll remember this place to say the least.

When my friend who keeps Kosher visited, we went to this Dairy restaurant for lunch twice; ‘Dairy’ means absolutely NO meat in Kosher terms, it is all faux meat. People bag on the location and décor, but I especially enjoy the nostalgic interior.
First visit I had the Huntridge Burger (with cheese, grilled onions and mushrooms, hold the steak sauce) he had the John Wayne Burger (cheese, barbecue sauce and onion rings) our sides of fries were requested and served extra crispy. We both had malteds: strawberry for me, chocolate for him, both ordered extra thick as some reviews said they were thin, they were delicious!
Enjoying our meals enough to return, I had the Greek Salad, which was very good and quite a large portion; he had the John Wayne Burger and chocolate malted again. He lives in New York, where Kosher restaurants are plentiful, and enjoyed the Huntridge quite a bit, particularly at their reasonable price point.
Definitely a fan, I’ll return again for inexpensive and tasty veggie burgers, salads, and malteds.

This little place is a throwback to when Las Vegas was a simple town. My secretary/​friend was recently promoted so we decided to take her here for a goodbye lunch since she is a devout vegan. When we walked in I wasn’t sure if we were at the right place as it smelled kinda smoky and dingy but then I saw this cute little diner mimicking the 1950’s. We were the only three people dining in the restaurant and «William» took such good care of us. I wasn’t super hungry as I had eaten a late breakfast but my friend had the Caesars chik wrap with fries and then I split a pizza with my other friend. We all really enjoyed our lunch. I think the main reason was the great customer service provided by William and how welcome we felt at this establishment. I had read some other reviews by fellow Unilocalers and most gave a four/​five star rating so I thought why not, we could give this place a try which I am glad we did. If you are in the neighborhood, stop by and check this place out and I hope William is working as he is a da bomb!

I can’t believe I never knew this place existed. I frequent Hi-​Rollers Barbershop quite often and always notice this pharmacy.
Well, I finally went in this morning for brunch and I was actually amazed at the ’50’s vibe in this place. It was pretty awesome! The music definitely went great with the vibe, too.
I went with the John Wayne burger and it was amazing. I think this is the same as the cowboy burger. Either way, I did enjoy it because it was not soaking in BBQ sauce like most places happen to over do it.
My girlfriend went with the Bye Bye Love Bananas Foster French Toast and she said it was «SO DAMN GOOD». Of course I did not just take her word for it; I went in for the dive and It was a warm gooey deliciousness!
This place smelled like smoke/​very old. But give this place a try regardless!
We were the only ones there during that time, and the guy behind the counter was doing it all: Orders, cooking, phone etc. Seems like a hard worker (he needs a raise)!
Keep up the good work! We will be returning for more food!

My wife and I keep strict kosher and we live in Los Angeles. LA has great kosher places to eat, but they’re around 20%-50% higher than their non-​kosher counterparts (regardless of quality). Huntridge Restaurant not only has amazingly delicious food, but it’s prices are about the same as a non-​kosher place, which is incredible in and of itself!
We stayed in Vegas, for our summer vacation, four days and ate here three of them. The food was delicious, portions were very generous, everything was made to order, and the service was very fast and friendly.
Of all the shows, museums, and other attractions to do in Las Vegas, Huntridge was definitely among our most favorite. We can’t wait to visit Las Vegas again just to eat here!

Retro! Fun! Kosher! Affordable good food! This is so much fun! Perfect dairy food for the nine days.

Extremely nice staff, and the food is pretty good. They were out of my first choice, which was enchiladas, and out of all the pasta. We ordered a quesadilla, French fries, and white pizza. The pizza was good, but they were out of spinach. It could have used some garlic and a little less white sauce.
It’s in a not so great part of town, but it’s very nostalgic. I would love to see them change the space and bring in some bands and dancing. So much potential there.

The food was great and I liked the feel of the Huntridge Pharmacy, but the service was very slow. I’m thinking it was just a one-​time type deal, but the place wasn’t even busy. Aside from that, the employees were nice and my food, the mac and cheese bites/​vanilla milkshake w/​malt, were tasty and reasonably priced.

This place ghetto. So of course I kinda like it. Doesn’t have much inside. But it does have band t-​shirts and posters for cheap. It’s aiight

Chef x was so nice to me and my little we had a burger and fry to share and two scoops of icecream and not only are we full but we are also very satisfied. For a vegetarian restaurant u don’t taste the difference and makes the healthier choice a lot easier

The outside sign was misleading at first because it said «Pharmacy» but it is also a diner, a VEGETARIAN diner to be exact.
When I walked in, I was not expecting the food to be as amazing as it was! Especially since I’m a meat-​lover but damn these guys can cook!
We ordered pizza fries, pancakes for the lil kid, the Huntridge burger, onion rings, and Mac and Cheese. My order was the Mac and cheese and I am in love. I think they ran out of macaroni pasta and substituted it for penne but I didn’t care, it looked more fancier with penne lol. They topped the Mac and cheese with some crispy bread crumbs and paprika which was a nice touch. & actually when I got home I found that the Mac and cheese tasted even better than before (is that even possible!?).
Hubby ordered the pizza fries and that was bomb af too. Fries were a bit soggy but it was appropriate for the pizzaness. The onion rings were fresh and crunchy & we also ordered a chocolate milkshake. That milkshake was bomb af too and I’m not the biggest fan of sweet things. They use Thriftys ice cream which is probably why the milkshake was so good too :)
Overall I loved the blast-​from-​the-​past vibe. The staff was so friendly. The server Louis was super nice and checked up on us constantly. And even Chef X checked up on us a few times and I think he did a fantastic job on the food. It’s a great hole in the wall place to eat and I will definitely be back in the near future to try their other food.

Experience: I have wanted to try this place with my Grandfather, because it’s close and I thought my 95y/​o grandfather would like it. So, I came for lunch.
Facility: so freakin cute! You feel like you’re stepping back into time. It has old booths and soda fountain counter seats. There is a working pharmacy that I saw a few people getting their prescriptions filled. Plus they have lots of old records to look at.
Service: After I got over the shock of my waitress telling me they don’t have any meat… I then realized the staff here was pretty awesome. Super friendly folks who take pride in what they serve.
Food: ok… still blown away when the waitress tried to talk me into a veggie burger and I replied I prefer the regular burger, and she slapped me in the face with the news that they don’t have any meat here. What!!! LOL! Ok, I’ll take salsa and chips, are they homemade? Chips are, salsa is not. Ok, I’ll take cheese sticks then. We are out! O. o
Ok, give me a cheese pizza then!
I ended up ordering a white cheese pizza with spinach, tomatoes and mushrooms. It was pretty tasty, but not something I would race back for, especially because I can’t get bacon on it. ;P
My Grandpa ordered a cheese omelette and it looked very good.
Overall: I would have given 3 stars for the food, but the staff and nostalgic atmosphere, bumped it to a 4!
This is a neat little shop that I would come back to for the ambience and great staff, and I think I’ll get a milkshake next time and sit at the counter. Maybe I’ll even put on bobby socks. ;)

If you’re sensitive to cigarette smoke then you should stay away. This place is a relic the ventilation is non-​existent so it reeks of smoke. With that being said it’s a nostalgic treat and the two person working the counter took great care of us. The portions were absolutely massive, but I wasn’t terribly impressed with the quality of the food we ordered. Everything was frozen fare and I’ve had way better vegetarian options in the Valley… still I’m glad we got to try the Huntridge out. All in all, I don’t think we’ll be back because of the overwhelming cigarette smell. It was very very strong and not something I want my kids around.

Xavier made us the most delicious breakfast for lunch! We ordered the Hound Dog. It was cooked perfectly, and tasted just like home. We are regulars for sure now. Anytime you want a great home cooked meal for a really decent price, I would definitely suggest going to Huntridge. Especially when Chef Xavier is working. My grandmother would definitely approve of his breakfast making skills.

My friend brought me here to eat and we had the cheese pizza with veggie meat and the alfredo pasta and it was beyond delicious. Xavier was our cook and waiter and he was beyond great. He kept making sure we were satisfied and just provided great service all in all. I’m definitely going to be coming back here! We even got free dessert!

Closed on Saturdays in observation of Shabbat, and the sort of place I imagine to have changed little since opening in 1962, it was on a rare Sunday dining expedition that I finally visited Huntridge Soda Fountain — the sizable restaurant tucked inside Huntridge Pharmacy where several families already sat enjoying any numbers of shakes, sandwiches, and diner favorites offered at prices harkening an era long past. Every bit a reminder of a Woolworth’s back home in Ohio, with short-​order cooks overseeing a menu of classics frequently tinged in whimsy, it was to a service team of one that I was greeted on entry and with a floor polisher whirring in the background as its driver weaved amidst aisles of toiletries, tablets, and even some toys a two-​part order was crafted — the total bill less than $ 14 even after tax and tip for food that was served not only piping hot with a smile, but also surprisingly delicious despite its simplicity. Admittedly a bit strained in service as my empty beverage languished it was with the $ 3.95 Elvis Sandwich that my meal began and although buttery Texas Toast surrounding ripe bananas plus ample peanut butter was as tasty as expected the basket of onion rings proved far less foolproof, the flavor of questionably fresh oil rendering the batter entirely off-​putting — a $ 1.50 upcharge eliminated from my bill when I mentioned the issue to its cook. Moving on to something far more decadent it was after only half of my sandwich had been consumed that the $ 5.95 stack of pancakes arrived and although impressive on their own with soft notes of buttermilk imbuing each bite it can only be said that the addition of bananas sautéed in butter represented a significant upgrade, the drizzle of caramel and mountain of whipped cream atop a generous scoop of ice cream and walnuts pushing the whole thing into dessert territory in the very best of ways.
Touting a menu far more interesting than several other local diners with prices that rival many chains for ‘bargain’ status Huntridge Pharmacy & Soda Fountain is a truly authentic experience in a city that many bemoan for being entirely too fake, the food far better than you’d expect given both the price and the locale. Admittedly a bit lackluster in service given the skeleton staff, hand-​written bills, and orders that occasionally back up when cooks are asked to prepare kosher options suffice it to say that the Soda Fountain is one of those spots everyone should visit at least once, and one that only stands to gain if and when the Huntridge Theater renovation finally takes place.

I liked this place. It’s incredibly odd. It’s a pharmacy, 50’s diner, record store and general store all in one.
Get the breakfast!!! And their shakes are so good.

Searching for an old fashioned soda fountain in Las Vegas, I stopped here this week and it wasn’t really what I was expecting!
I had noticed the reviews mentioned vegetarian and kosher food but I didn’t really realize the menu would be ALL kosher and vegetarian! I ended up just getting a float but the service was nice and the atmosphere felt authentic.
The area around the shop is a little shady but it’s a fine place to go if you want to sit at a soda fountain for a drink.

We stopped in for a bite after getting cut next door at Hi-​Rollers. HPSF is Drugstore/​Pharmacy/​Diner run by a couple of gentleman, and as you step inside, it is as if you went back in time to the 50’s and 60’s. It is very spacious with dining booths as well as counter dining if you wish to do so.
Perusing the menu, it seems like a lot of choices on paper, but they seemed to be out of a few selections as we were inquiring on certain menu items and descriptions.
Wifey and I narrowed it down and we split a Cowboy Burger with a couple of shakes.
She got a Strawberry Shake and I went with the Watusi Whopper. FYI, all burgers, sandwiches, and items that are usually made with meat are not. Every item is vegetarian, and they use veggie meat from Morning Star.
The burger and fries were pretty good even though nothing is made in-​house, and the shakes were not as thick as I prefer, but decent. Service was good, and price point is reasonable. Stop in if you’re in the area and give these guys a try! ALOHA!!!
