    Old school. And by that, I mean old. But not in a bad way. The inside has been frozen for decades, but, you don't go to a joint and order a grinder in a place with great ambiance! Ask anyone who's ever been to NYC: it should be dark, it should be quick, and it's really all about the food. $4.50 for a 6" sandwich loaded with everything a grinder should be: fresh meat, good cheese, and chopped veg. It's not Subway, praise the Lord. If you want something tasty, go. If you want a $5 footlong with plenty of cheap meat and bagged lettuce, continue to the fast food chain of your choice

    Needed to find a place to eat in town, so I checked Yelp + saw the reviews mention this place. Got one of their sandwiches for dinner. Also got to speak with Quentin the owner for a bit: he and his wife opened the place back around 1978; it was renovated then, and it still looks in decent shape.

    The Grinder Man is a great little local Old School Sub shop. Nothing fancy but consistently good subs for over 50 years now.

    Had the hero at the recommendation of the cashier and it was simple but excellent. It was refreshing not to be overloaded with condiments!

The food was outstanding. I ordered the chicken fried steak, mac and cheese and salad. I was a bit concerned when the Mac and cheese came out,it looked like boxed but when my lips hit it I was taken aback. It was one of the best I ever had. My mom had the short ribs with mashed potatoes and spinach and she raved about how good it was. We went back the next day for breakfast and them Grits were soooo good. Not sure how they got them so creamy and buttery, and cheesy but they did!! I have to brag on the coffee too. A must try! I will fly back out there again just to have the experience. Small town with a big personality. And thank you Sherriff Terry for your warm welcome :)

We had plenty of time, so we looked around the Mercantile. I was a bit disappointed in the merchandise that was displayed for sale. It was also, very expensive. We then went upstairs to the bakery. I purchased a couple of cookies for my husband which he said were good. When our lunch reservation was available, we were seated quickly. The service was a bit slow after being seated, considering the place was not packed with people. The biscuits and jelly that were brought to the table were delicious. Unfortunately, that was the best part of the meal. We ordered soup and a grilled cheese. I choose the tomato soup which was not soup. It was the consistency of tomato paste and tasted like it had been poured from the can, with a little bit of sherry and cheese on the top. Not only was it bitter, but it was also cold. One of my friends asked to exchange her tomato soup for the chicken tortilla soup. She said it had no seasonings and was cold. As for the grilled cheese, well it was not good at all. It had no taste to it, and it was not hot at all, which made it dry. I had to put salt on the outside to give enough taste to the sandwich in order to eat it. I was so disappointed as I had been telling my friends how wonderful the place was going to be. Would I return? Possibly to visit the town more but certainly would not visit or eat at the Mercantile again.

    I live in an Asian shaved ice desert. Perhaps that's why I'm already super enthusiastic when I…read moretravel and find some. Simply the gratitude of it being present in middle America sets me up to have a good experience. Someone complained in a review about the "false advertisement" of having shaved ice as most Americans know it. It's hilarious to be that they assumed it to be what they know as shaved ice. If they had tried the Asian shaved ice, I guarantee they'd enjoy it and wouldn't have complained. If you know about other culture's shaved ice, you're open to try new things and let yourself be surprised. I digress. The shaved ice found here is the Korean version, Bingsu. It's very similar to other styles, but this one is mostly milk based. The menu is pretty extensive, including smoothies, yogurt, juice, coffee, boba tea, and of course shaved ice cream. We came for the shaved ice cream, so we tried the strawberry & mango first. It mixed the two, which surprised me since I had assumed it would be half and half separated. The combination worked beautifully. There was whipped cream, strawberry and mango syrup on top and we asked for mango popping boba. It was so delicious! The best way I can describe it is a feathery texture that melts in your mouth. We also tried the coconut one which came with condensed milk and coconut shavings. We also added strawberry popping boba. Highly recommend either/bob. Since the consistency is light and fluffy, even though the portions are generous, you don't feel stuffed afterwards. The place is spacious and has tall ceiling, making it very open. There's seating available on both floors. I enjoyed the Korean music playing and the tv translating the lyrics. The volume was just right (as opposed to some reviews out there complaining it was too loud). I probably wouldn't try to make calls inside though. The guy at the counter was super nice. He kept smiling really big the whole time he talked to us. Made me smile too. He also told us about the Korean cheesecake they have for sale. It looked delicious and fluffy so I got the coffee one. It was more of a sponge cake than cheesecake but it was delicious. Highly recommend.

    They gave me the right ice cream and the drink! They did a real good job! They served some boba tea…read morewith my favorite flavors in it!
