The Story

Westwood Fountain keeps the Patterson Avenue crowd fed with counter lunches and thick shakes — the sort of place regulars call in their order by first name.

    An old timey and unique experience with a diner right in the pharmacy with clothes, convenience food, and other tchotchkes. Servers were very nice and patient, food was fresh and really good. So come for the food, stay and buy a dress, while you're waiting for your prescription.

    Had lunch with my mom here. Food was really good. I had chicken salad sandwich on toast and a side of potato salad. I make both at home myself so I'm kinda picky but theirs was great. The old school Diner atmosphere is excellent. Not fancy but fits the diner bill ...the tables and chairs, the counter, and right down to the handwritten bill for the food. Most of the waitresses have been great but today ours seemed distracted (everyone has an off day so no biggie) Definitely recommend.

    A huge, delicious salad for lunch will give me two more lunches this week! I had the Maple Avenue Salad which included lots of grilled chicken, feta, cranberries, pecans and greens. The raspberry vinaigrette was the perfect complement to the salad. My friend had the Chicken Berry Salad and said it was loaded with fresh fruit and grilled chicken. The Westwood Fountain is an old-fashioned luncheonette inside the Westwood Pharmacy so the atmosphere is pretty basic but the food and reasonable prices make it a real winner.
