When you walk in the store, the first thing you see is people enjoying their food. The food there is amazing, the prices are very reasonable and the atmosphere reminds you of home and family.

The staff and Pharmacists here are amazing. I use to go to CVS but after I had an issue because the pharmacist at CVS did not feel like doing her job to make sure that I was receiving the correct medication and verified it without looking at what I was even receiving. I had to stop at Commerce drug to get my fiancés medication and the pharmacist took the time to confirm that the medication was correct and answer the few questions I had. This is the absolute best pharmacy in town, they have the best customer service and make sure that everyone who walks through the door feels welcome and knows that they are being taken care of!

This is a great little place where you get friendly service and the food is great. It's not like going to a fast food with fake burgers etc, it's real ground beef. I've been there at least 10 times and the first time was only 4 weeks ago. Their menu is small but their food is great. If you enjoy the small places stop by for a quick bite, my favorite is the chili burger

I LOVE this Pharmacy. Everyone is so amazing and kind and they have the best pharmacist out there. Both pharmacist are fast, kind, respectful. I can't say enough good things about the pharmacy staff... now the lunch counter has very good food for cheap but the older ladies that are there are not friendly at all and they are actually very rude to my 5 year old son everytime we go in there. I don't know why. I actually quit ordering food there every month when I do because the ladies are so rude. They need to put some new younger faces to work there. Not saying being older is bad just the only people they want to serve is the older crowd it seems like. And I've been going there for years every month.. pharmacist y side is amazing 10/10 but food counter is 2/10 and that's because the food is good and it's affordable
