Lipka Drug Store - Montague

Love this place for old timey soda fountain menu and atmosphere. And they have pie!

Lipka's Old Fashion Soda Fountain is the oldest soda fountain in Michigan! Stop by this landmark in Montague, MI for a frozen treat or a delicious lunch! The vintage atmosphere and friendly staff will make you glad that you stopped! The food at Lipka's has the home cooked taste. Homemade soups, sandwiches, salads and pies, there is something for everyone. The staff have been there for years and make you feel like you've known them forever. Let's talk about the cost if you want to go out for lunch but you are on a budget, let this be the place you stop at. My boyfriend and I eat here often for under $20! You can't beat the prices. A charming atmosphere that brings you back in time. I highly recommend Lipka's!

All homemade and all great Happy to eat there every day The people are outstanding service is great Go back there again anytime

I have been coming here since the 70s. My family has had a house in the area for more than 120 years. It's a family tradition to get chocolate malts/shakes at the soda fountain counter. Today we went as a family (again) and brought two of the newest young family members. All of us came in and sat at the counter and ordered our shakes/malts. Three generations all there, sitting where we have sat for years. Every time, the chocolate malt tastes the same, bringing back decades of memories. You may wonder then, why only four stars? Well, because the other memory that unfortunately continues to the present day is how unfriendly the employees are. When I was a kid, I was a little scared. If they could get out of earshot of your parents, they'd make some low-voiced comment letting you know you were only being tolerated. As an adult, I'm just mildly irritated. The comments are still there, but now they let you know how inconvenient it is for them to wait on you, from the oldest running the cash register down to the teenager scooping the ice cream. They were always going to do something that you have now interrupted. But I continue to come in, sit down with every parent, grandparent, sibling, cousin, etc that is available to come along, and order my chocolate malt, because the attitude is part of the memories, too. And, hey, I'm here for their malts, not their company.

Quaint. Old. Authentic soda fountain. Excellent food. Reasonable prices. An actual step back in time. Interesting Memorabilia. Ancient cash register. I absolutely loved it.
