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.
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.
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.
Visited the Jefferson Fountain recently? We'd love to hear from you.
Your kind words help us share 80 years of Oak Ridge tradition.
