    Took a little drive to get out of the house and ended up here for lunch. The staff was friendly, took orders efficiently, and got them out to customers ASAP. I was disappointed to see that the wait staff was not wearing masks or gloves in the midst of this pandemic. I ordered two chili cheese dogs and onion rings and my dining partner had a burger and fries. Overall the food was pretty good. If I'm in this neck of the woods again we might stop in.

    I really wanted to like this place, I appreciate restaurants that have been around for a long time, but this place is serving up sad, bland, flavorless food! I ordered the hamburger steak with fries and macaroni and cheese. Usually when I eat at a hole in the wall restaurant they have really good baked macaroni and cheese. This was not baked, this didn't even have real cheese, they were obviously using canned cheese in their mac and cheese which should be a crime! The hamburger steak literally had no flavor at all, and the hamburger was tough and chewy. It came with cornbread, I asked the waitress if it was sweet cornbread and she said it was, she couldn't have been further from the truth! This cornbread was completely dry and flavorless. I do have to give them extra credit for being nice, the waitress and who I assume was the owner were very friendly, but their food is terrible! Maybe I should have ordered something different, judging by the photos uploaded to Yelp it seems like people only order hamburgers and hot dogs here, that might have been a safer bet!

    Awesome signage.

    I was back in my birthplace for my 80 y/o Mom's wedding, so I *had* to stop by Dick's Drive-In a couple of times. First visit was a cheeseburger w/mustard, chili, slaw (my usual) and fries. Ridiculously good. Second visit was inside the restaurant w/brother and his awesome family. Seeing that Dick's had won "best hot dog in town," I ordered that with "the works" and my usual cheeseburger w/mustard, chili, slaw and fries. Also got some hush puppies for the family to try and some slaw. The hot dog was so vibrantly pink that my nieces recoiled but I devoured every bit of it and everything they delivered. My nieces were skeptical, but said they ended up loving it, which brought me joy. I heart this place.

    Solid, middle of the road drive in. Serves a nice breakfast, good sandwiches, fries, some plates. The hot dog and cheeseburger were pretty good, but not great. The service is excellent here, and it gets busy on the weekends. This place does much well, just not anything spectacular. It is a point of opportunity type place, not a destination type place.

    "Meatloaf", mac&cheese and what's left of the fried squash

    I ordered meatloaf, what I got was ground beef (some of it pink) with onions and and ketchup. No seasoning, at all. Mac and cheese was ok, really heavy and fried squash was pretty good. Didn't realize that this place only takes cash, and to top that, their atm (which surcharges) was broke. While I was here I saw employees eating while fixing food and a kid being allowed to run around in the kitchen.

    Chicken sandwich.

    Great local establishment. We had a variety of food to sample the menu. I would recommend the Munchers which are potatoes, jalapeños, and cheese. So good. I had a chicken sandwich that came with a salad and fries. I will be returning to this establishment!

    The marquee at Dick's Drive In boasts that they have the best hot dog in Rockingham County as voted by its citizens. I don't see how. I would strongly urge these voters to make the 20 minute drive to Johnson's Family Grill in Madison, also in Rockingham County, where a truly excellent hot dog can be found. I am certain they will vote differently next time. My hot dog was served with cold chili, so I asked for a replacement. The replacement came out with lukewarm chili, which was average tasting at best. The slaw tasted pretty good but was a little too wet. The real problem, perhaps, was the hot dog itself, which had little flavor, and what flavor there was was not good. The fries tasted old. The onion rings were very tasty but leaned greasy. The large burger was not that large, but the bun was. The patty was flattened out to try to make it appear larger, but this just made for a poor burger-to-bread ratio. The cheese was literally a half slice of American cheese and not fully melted. I had high hopes for Dick's but was sorely disappointed. Dick's slogan is "The place to be since '63". Not me.

    A classic American drive-through experience. Food was good... Although portions are somewhat small. Price is reasonable.

The hardest part was choosing a drink from the aptly named, southern inspired menu. Should I have the Hell in a Handbasket, Mama's Switch, or a That'll do Pig? You can't go wrong. Sized were much larger than expected and priced far below similar type restaurants we have patronized in larger towns. For dinner, I had the filet, medium rare, and it was perfectly seasoned and cooked. That shouldn't make a restaurant stand out, but based on recent experiences, it was a delight. Dessert was a hot bread pudding accompanied by vanilla ice cream. Superb. Stop by this gem of a place if you are in the area. Lots of cute shops nearby, too.

    What a great experience overall on our first visit to The Mercantile Chophouse. We were celebrating…read morea birthday and had six people in our group. We were seated promptly for our Friday night, 6:30pm reservation. Tables were well spaced and never felt cramped. We only ordered the bread basket, You Knead This, as an appetizer; opting for salads to start the meal. The Merc, The Chopped and The Grilled Caesar were liked by all. I personally had the Chopped and it had a great mix of texture and flavors with candied pecans, pickled onions, mandarin oranges and a sweet poppyseed dressing. All six of us ordered steaks, two ribeyes, three filets and one sirloin. All were cooked perfectly ranging from rare to well done. They were well seasoned and most of us chose the Gorgonzola Bacon Butter which was a nice addition. The Brussel Sprout appetizer is a huge crowd favorite, but the side dish is only charred. However, you can request that they prepare them the same way as the appetizer. They were delicious and so were the Au Gratin Potatoes, which were baked in their own little metal crock. Dessert finished up with a Key Lime Crème Brûlée that was delicately flavored with a light touch of lime. We also had a Brownie Sundae that was delicious as expected. Customer service was on point from the greet to the farewell and everything in between. Overall a truly flawless experience.

I have never heard of it but the…read moreway they gushed about how wonderful the food was made me excited to try it as soon as possible. Luckily for me, my mom's 83rd birthday was coming up so we had a reason to celebrate and she was more than happy to celebrate her birthday dinner with family here. I came hungry because I was prepared to indulge and I am so glad I did. I ordered a small salad instead of an appetizer to start. The Merc salad sounded delicious and it's served with a pomegranate vinaigrette that was perfect. For my entrée, I ordered the petite filet mignon, au gratin potatoes, and the green beans. I probably could have left off the green beans, but I'm so happy I got them because they were amazing as well. Perfectly tender and seasoned. Speaking of seasoning, everything on my plate was perfectly seasoned. There were salt and pepper grinders on the table, but I did not need them at all. My steak was cooked to a perfect medium as I had asked, the au gratin potatoes were tender, creamy and cheesy and I already mentioned how perfectly cooked my green beans were. Normally, we all share a bite of food from our plates that is different from what we ordered however my food was so good I didn't want to share. My husband offered me a bite of his Brussels sprouts and they were SO SO good I might need to get those the next time, but I didn't share my green beans with anyone! After dinner, we ordered a Key Lime crème brûlée which was delightfully bright and the perfect ending to our wonderful dinner. Our server was on point the whole night and kept everyone's glasses filled as well as checking on us. I almost want to gate-keep this place because I want it to stay local so if you go, you didn't hear it from me.
