Amazing place to get a sandwich and an ice cream. The staff here are so friendly and kind too. I got a roast beef on rye with assorted accompaniments, it was grilled, delicious, and served promptly.
Then I got the smores sundae and it was amazing too. Lots of ice cream, rich, creamy, and lots of whipped cream.
Comfy cozy place with booths and tables and cute decor.
Scottsboro is a small town but the ice cream and sandwich love at Payne's is big and bright!
It was so busy that I couldn’t take many pictures inside! Such a fun environment with all the nostalgia and fun! Great food and service!
Absolutely fresh foods and kind workers. Will return!

Payne's Sandwich Shop and Soda Fountain is an old-fashioned restaurant celebrated for its hotdogs, ice cream, and friendly service. Known as the oldest soda shop in Alabama, with a history of 150 years, it features a nostalgic 50’s themed atmosphere that invites families to step back in time. The soda fountain boasts a variety of ice cream flavors, sundaes, floats, and banana splits, with options like the Smores mixed with Rocky Mountain Road Sundae and the Peach and Cherry Ice Cream bowl, which are perfect and beautifully displayed. While the menu includes salads and sandwiches, side options are limited, and some customers feel the food selection is just right for the size of the restaurant. The staff is attentive and kind, always smiling and providing a pleasant experience, making it a great spot for a milkshake during a road trip or to enjoy an ice cream treat. However, the atmosphere can become tense during busy times, particularly at lunch, and parking can be challenging. Although it can get a bit warm inside, the friendly waitresses are quick to help, enhancing the charm of this little gem. The bathrooms are small, but the eating area is usually clean. For those seeking a classic experience, Payne's is a must-visit.
