We left Bristol and headed to Mountain City on Hwy 421 making our way back to Boone, this is a…read morerelatively short drive I assumed (it's actually about 37 miles), what I didn't know was that this drive also goes by the name "The Snake" and is a famous route frequented by motorcycle enthusiasts that crosses one valley, three mountains and has 489 curves that cuts across the Cherokee National Forest, it's beautiful and challenging even in my Maverick with very few turnouts to let the motorcycles and sport cars that run this road like it's a time trial go around you - well I was able to navigate it just fine and pulled over a few times to watch some pretty impressive driving by the bikes and sport cars. When I reached Shady Valley and found this Country Store believe me I was ready for a driving break being this location is consider the half way point on "The Snake" and after a short stop I knew I would have to reengage with this beast. Well this little country store / cafe / museum is dedicated to the legends of those who have been battling this venomous route since its opening you can read more at https://www.thesnake421.com this review is about the Shady Valley Country Store. This store has a little bit of everything, groceries, fuel, a front porch with rocking chairs, food, a game room, a pool table, clean restrooms and lots of memorabilia on display including a few famous bikes inside that conquered this amazing ride and a very friendly young lady running the counter who was attentive but not overly. A can of ice cold soda here is only 75 cents - it's definitely a destination even if you aren't on a bike...

Try a slushee from the slushee bar or grab some gifts from the gift shop side. There are also a few dining options around including a Cracker Barrel across the street.

Looks can be deceiving…read more Not much to look at on the outside. Valero Gas Station in a rather nod-descript building. I've known about this place for sometime now and even posted an exterior shot from when I was driving around looking for another place with a footnote to come back some time. Don't know what I was expecting but I walked into a very nice convenience store and it the back, a very nice Cafe, tastefully decorated and a full kitchen that could serve a much larger space. Not an expansive menu but from what i could tell, the emphasis was on quality and not the number of menu items offered. You walk in and follow the signs to the counter and after reviewing the menu, you place your order and then you pay. If you are dining in, you come back and grab a table till your number is called. If it's take out, you come back and pick it up. Looked over the lunch menu and a couple of things looked good. Breakfast menu looked very good as well.The lady at the counter asked me about todays special which was a Chicken Fried Steak Sandwich with Honey Mustard which sounded good. For a side, I had the potato salad. Place my order,paid and in short order my number was called and I picked it up at the Counter. Looked good and when I bit it, it was as good as it looked. Steak was nicely cooked and while I was a bit leary of the Honey Mustard, it turned out to be a nice compliment. The Potato Salad was excellent with a bit of a tang from the mustard used in it but not overpowering with a nice taste and texture. A bit hidden and not well marked on I-77 but it's the at the Tomlin Mill Exit North of Statesville on the west side of the interchange. Worth giving in a try.
