The food is really good. It is what you would expect from an old drug store lunch counter. The atmosphere is amazing. So much history it is a treat just to walk in and look around. This is a must try if you are visiting or live in the area.

Epic 100 year-old drug store on Franklin. Scores of students, locals and visitors flock here for diner classics for breakfast or lunch.

Giving Sutton’s a five star rating based on their kindness and community involvement. My daughter was out running during the recent lockdown on campus. She ran there and let them know why she was there. They let her and others stay past closing until the lockdown was lifted. They offered her food and drink, put on the news and kept calm during the incident. This wasn’t an experience anyone should go through but they were kind and generous throughout. I’m very thankful and will stop in to personally thank them the next time I’m in the area.

Great local drug store with a nice eating area for American favorites including cheeseburgers, fries, and shakes. Tremendously friendly owner and staff that go out of their way to take care of everyone who walks through the front door. I recommend the Turkey Bacon sandwich, piled high with white meat turkey. Free refills on drinks. Fries not overcooked. Saturday afternoons are a good time to visit.

This place was pretty cool. They only serve breakfast in the morning though. Not sure when lunch starts as they’re closed at 2:30. They were able to make me a chicken salad sandwich, but not the burger my husband wanted. That’s okay because his breakfast was good (though they forgot his homefries). Very inexpensive. Good service.

Absolute legend on Franklin Street. Great food and drink. Chicago dog and cherry limeade have been my go-to since my freshman year like 15 years ago and it’s always perfect. Great burgers and stuff too.

The food was awesome. Everything was so amazing we had to order items to take home with us. The staff is very friendly and they made us feel like we were at home. I will definitely be returning.

Came here on a Saturday morning after a night on the town. I was pleasantly surprised given what I had heard about the food.

It was nice of them to go to Walmart and fetch some already cooked biscuits and some eggs and some sawdust grits, and throw that on a plate for me.

Tried out this Sutton’s Drug Store restaurant. It was packed with people. Looks like a very local and traditional restaurant.
