Borroum’s Drug Store & Soda Fountain in Corinth was established in 1865 and has been recognized by the House of Representatives as the oldest pharmacy in the state! They are also famous for their signature Slugburger sandwich, a staple of southern culinary history!

Learning the history of Borroum’s Drug Store was fascinating; from the architecture and lineage of the Borroum family, to the business’ transformation from drug store to so much more!

The local landmark was modernized in the late thirties, adding a new soda fountain with booths, tables, and jukebox. Updates to the architecture and interior were installed while maintaining its rich history and aesthetic.

From Borroun’s – “The old soda fountain is still very much in the center of things and is kept in perfect operation. It has everything from “real” malted milkshakes to their famous ice cream sodas. Of course there are the cherry phosphates and “genuine” old fashioned cokes.”

From today’s menu, the slugburger is still a best seller and inspiration for Corinth’s annual Slugburger Festival. Created out of need to stretch ingredients during the depression era, the slugburger is a combination of pork, flour, spices, and more. It’s traditionally served on a bun with mustard, pickles, and onion.

Since the famous local delicacy might not be for everyone, no worries, they offer several mouthwatering hidden gems on the menu that will have you coming back for more!

🔥Slugburger
🔥Ruben Sandwich
🔥Philly Cheese Steak
🔥Double Cheeseburger
🍓 Strawberry Milkshake
🍒 Cherry Coke Float

The Slugburger is prepared to a golden brown with all topping available. You can dress it any way you like, however I prefer the traditional mustard, pickles, and onion. If I’m feeling a little crazy I may add cheese.

The Ruben sandwich is a family favorite of mine. It’s traditionally constructed with thinly sliced corned beef, Swiss cheese, and sauerkraut on rye bread slathered with Russian or Thousand Island dressing.

Not many restaurants offer Rubens and are truly decadent when done right. I’m not sure when it was included on the Borroum’s menu, but it tastes like it’s been refined to perfection over the years!

Savor the Flavor of their Philly Cheese Steak with Grilled Peppers and Onions!
This sandwich was nothing short of mouthwatering! It was a perfect fusion of grilled peppers and onions with the cheese steak, creating an irresistible taste. It’s a blend of flavors where each ingredient is distinct and yet perfectly harmonized, making it impossible to distinguish where one ends and the next begins.

The Double Cheeseburger was a sight to behold! The hand-formed beef patties were grilled to perfection with a delightful crunch around the edges. Each patty looked to be around 8oz each. The burger was already oozing with two layers of cheese, making my mouth water before I even took my first bite!

A genuine soda fountain can make all the difference in the flavor of a Cherry Coke Float. The taste is unparalleled when it is made from scratch and crafted with expertise. Trust me, it’s a delectable treat you won’t want to miss out on! Just pick your flavors and enjoy!

The Strawberry Milkshake is perfect for pairing with a burger or as a decadent treat! Whether you’re looking for a tasty drink to complement your favorite burger or an indulgent treat to savor after your meal, the Strawberry Milkshake is the perfect choice. Served in a glass with a metal mixing cup, you’re sure to enjoy every last drop. Plus, there’s usually enough left over in the cup for a second serving!

Borroum’s Drug Store & Soda Fountain is a must see, destination restaurant when you Visit Corinth, full of history and delicious flavors. While there, savor the experience and tell the crew at Borroum’s I sent you. Happy Trails!!
