I think that's bullshit and yall are cheap asl for that, the lady said "they'll charge you full price" for a cup im not evening going to use other then for water. It's not abt the 1.96 i can pay that it's the fact yall are that cheap over a literal cup , probably doesn't even cost 1.96 to make it. Yall are alrdy over priced as is now you're being stingy abt cups, sad world bro get it together actually. I feel there's bigger issues than charging sb almost 2 bucks for a single small cup just to drink water out off. also THE SODA MACHINE IS LITERALLY OUT OF ORDER LMAOO couldn't even get a drink if i wanted ‍.

I haven't been in a quaint lil "Mom and Pop" style grocery store like this since childhood. Maybe I…read moreshould look up synonyms for nostalgia, because everything Hot Springs was nostalgic for both my partner and I. Hillbilly Market was very nostalgic for us both. They seem to have just about everything you could possibly want or need, just without 5-20 options of brands. Simple. Sweet treats sprinkled throughout and even offerings from local farmers and artists. I have a lot of food allergies and sensitivities that make eating a lot of my favorites really hard. Banana chips is one of them. I haven't had them or much dried fruit in several years because sunflower seed oil seems to be used in the process so often with commercial dried foods. If I do find them, they're typically expensive and then taste like crap. So when I came across this expansive display of all these bags of dried fruits and veggies, Banana chips were the first to catch my eye. I startled a few people with my squeal of excitement as I began snatching up bag after bag of dried fruits and veggie chips. Everything I bought was made with a few simple ingredients. No seed oils or dyes, very reasonably priced and everything I bought is very tasty. I'm certain that this place is a treasure trove for people passing through on the Appalachian Trail. I promise that I practiced some self control and left plenty of dried fruits and treats for them as well. That fridge in the back corner of my photo? Full of meat from what we assumed came from a local butcher. It all looked really good and made us regret not cooking dinner at our cabin at least one night. Though we didn't regret any of the good food we had at local diners. Next time though, for sure. Like most places in Hot Springs, they close a lot earlier than we had expected. I think it was around 6:00 when they closed. We were unsure if this was just the usual or due to the community still healing and rebuilding from the hurricanes. So don't make the mistake we made and think you'll just stop in on your way back from a day of adventure and pick up groceries for dinner.

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...

There was also an elderly couple really needing to use the restroom and he refused them. I asked if we could please use the women's restroom since he wasn't currently cleaning it. His response was very hateful and degrading. He slammed the sign in my face. The other time we pulled up at 12:03 unaware that the store closed at 12:00. I asked if they were closed and he rudely shouted, "Yeah we obviously close at 12:00!" I don't understand why he always has a hateful attitude. He is always very unprofessional and rude.
