Omg we are so excited for you guys!!
Coming soon to Madison Main Street!! 🍨 🥪
Hi! 👋🏼 We’re Seth and Ashley Pennington, owners of Buster’s Fountain & Cafe, located inside Gallery 115. Local to Madison, our dream has always been to operate a family friendly soda fountain & cafe that fully embraces the nostalgia of historic Madison Main Street.
Named after my Papaw, James “Buster” Shelley, Buster’s embraces stepping back into time with our 1940s inspired decor, menu, and you guessed it, a real, operating soda fountain fully restored from the 1940s!
Our menu will pay homage to some of our local favorites, including Chicken Salad & Pretzel Salad, made with love by Peggy Phagan, (formerly Gallery 115 Cafe), along with time appropriate lunch counter options, including Chicago & NY style hot dogs, just to name a few. And yes, all of our desserts will be handcrafted in house and ice cream will be sourced locally.
We invite you on this journey with us to take a step back in time & enjoy the simpler things in life. Be on the lookout for our opening in May 2026! 🎉
