Our Story

An Oak Ridge Original

Tucked just off the Turnpike on Jefferson Circle, The Jefferson Fountain has been feeding families and filling prescriptions in Oak Ridge for over 80 years. We are not a chain. We are not fast food. We are your neighbors.

Step inside and you will find the same blue counter stools, the same warm welcome, and the same hand-formed burgers made fresh every single day. Our Famous Myrtle Burger has been a local legend for decades — and there is a reason for that.

Jefferson Compounding Center sits right alongside the soda fountain, offering specialized pharmaceutical care that goes far beyond your typical drugstore — crafting customized medications tailored to each patient's individual needs.

★★★★★

The Myrtle Burger is the real deal — I've been coming here since I was a kid and it never disappoints. Nothing else in Oak Ridge even comes close.

David M. Oak Ridge, TN · Soda Fountain
★★★★★

Stepped back in time the moment I walked through the door. The milkshake was thick, the service was warm, and the whole place just feels like Oak Ridge history.

Karen B. Knoxville, TN · Soda Fountain
★★★★★

The compounding pharmacy is a lifesaver. They made a custom formulation my regular pharmacy couldn't touch, and the pharmacist actually took the time to explain everything.
