Founded in 1905 as Hashop's Pharmacy and Soda Fountain, this diner is one of Texas' oldest continuously operating soda fountains. Renamed to Across the Street Diner after being purchased by a local who had previously owned a salon 'across the street', the diner has kept its original floors and stools, and maintains a few historic treasures on the diner menu, including Hashop’s roast beef sandwiches on toast, and Hashop's grilled cheese, with their homemade pimento cheese.

Fun fact: Wolf Brand Chili was first sold out of a wagon by Lyman T Davis in the 1890s at the street corner where the diner now sits. Today, a bronze wolf commemorates the spot where Davis' famous chili was once sold for five cents a bowl.
