Description:
Payne’s Sandwich Shop & Soda Fountain opened in 1869 as a small drug store and later moved to its current spot on the Scottsboro courthouse square in 1891, eventually adding its iconic 20-foot soda fountain counter in 1939. Over the decades it shifted from filling prescriptions to serving classic comfort food while keeping its nostalgic charm intact. Popular favorites include the red slaw hot dog, hearty sandwiches like the Reuben, and sides such as homemade potato salad, all topped off with old-fashioned milkshakes, banana splits, and sundaes from the vintage fountain.
