Mechanicsville Drug Store

I had a very disappointing experience at Mechanicsville Drug Store. My first interaction with the pharmacist, Alice, was great—she was professional, kind, and went out of her way to help me with a complicated insurance issue. However, when I returned a few months later, the owner and pharmacist, Tommy, refused to fill the same prescription that Alice had previously agreed to. He became argumentative and unprofessional, yelling at me in the store and showing no empathy or accountability for the situation. It was an unpleasant experience that left me without my needed medication. While Alice was wonderful, the owner’s behavior ensures I won’t be returning.

This review is my experience with the pharmacy. I have not eaten or shopped there. The pharmacist and the assistant were professional, courteous, kept me in the loop on a medication order that I needed. They called me each time they said they would save took care of transferring my prescription from another pharmacy that could not get the med as quickly. The inside of the store looked a little aged, but the pharmacy area looked clean. They have a drive thru for the pharmacy, which I did not use, but I saw people using it while I was checking out. They have excellent hours! This was a very good experience.

Staff and Pharmacists are amazing. Friendly, helpful and actually have time to talk to you about prescriptions! Pharmacy over Big Commercial Drug Store always for me!

I came in to check it out and I was pleasantly surprised. I sat at the lunch counter and enjoyed the soup of the day (navy bean) along with a grilled cheese. The staff was super nice and my food was hot and tasty, while all being under $10! (Even with tea) They serve breakfast or lunch 7:30-2:30pm, M-F. They had a lot of regulars pop in while I was there, which was nice to see. I'll definitely be back to this family owned business!

Fountain - great lunch and breakfast served all day long M-F! Just like the drugstore fountain I grew up enjoying.
