Borroum's Drug Store -- Friendly service, and had a jerked soda.

You really need to order the slugburger. My two boys (who are fairly picky eaters) kept asking Dad for another bite. All of the ice cream offerings are delicious and huge! There is an amazing display of Civil War, Native American, and other artifacts all over the store.
Park anywhere on the street.

Borroum's is the Oldest operating drug store and soda fountain in the state of Mississippi. Founded in 1865...still looks the same! They serve old time sodas at a soda fountain counter. Lots of fun...takes you back to yesteryear! This soda fountain/ drug store is still owned by the same family. Best burgers and shakes in Mississippi.

Mississippi's oldest drug store in continuous operation. Est. 1865 and it is still in the Borroum family. They have a working old soda fountain (circa 1930s), a great Indian artifact and civil war collection. Camille Borroum Mitchell, the pharmacist, is the great grand daughter of Dr. A.J. Borroum, who started the store when he came home from the civil war in 1865.
