Clinton's Soda Fountain

A must stop when visiting Independence, ice cream was delicious and service was awesome

The shake and sundae were absolutely delicious! Unfortunately, my family and I were not able to eat inside due to my husband's scooter wasn't able to navigate the doorway.

A historical landmark of Independence, MO. The inside reminds me of an old-school diner and has some old-fashioned candy and other merch for sale. The phosphate reminds me of the cream soda when I was younger. However, the banana split tasted like it was store-bought.

Shelly and Michael were the best! They are a great team and were great fun! They were efficient and handled the bit, of a rush that walked in around us. They made suggestions tailored our wants. Even when the crowd seemed a bit chaotic they were cool and pleasant! 10 out of 10! And the float was delicious, too!

This vintage-style soda bar accomplishes its goal of bringing you back to the old days with its decor, sundaes, and phosphates. It doesn't go over the top trying to bring that feeling, either - it seems like it's just survived all this time and is still around. We tried the jalapeno grilled cheese, and it was about what I expected: American cheese and canned jalapenos on white bread, grilled on a panini maker or something similar. Not bad, but certainly not fancy by any means (and probably not worth the $8 or $10). I'd like to see them upgrade the ice cream brand, as they currently use Belfonte. The malt was very good, and the ice cream nachos were pretty good and an interesting idea with waffle chips and candy. I would go back and try some of the other items, like the cake shake.

This is a great place to visit while walking the Independence square! The ice cream was great & several different merchandise options ( including Polly's Pop )The prices were reasonable & the staff was great! A++

Cool little place. Kids loved the concoctions they ordered. They were tasty! Good old school look.

Good ice cream and a place to meet nice people. Plenty of indoor seating. A nostalgic wooden bar gives a feeling of walking back in time. I here that they also make homemade soda pop. The store also serves as a small gift shop selling items like shirts, postcards and candy. An Independence landmark you must see if visiting the town square.
