There was a lot to look at and prices were not too bad being a tourist spot. If someone is on vacation this would be the place to stop at! There is so many items that they could bring home. No one acknowledged us being there, they had a few customers at the counter and a few walking around. If you have to use a restroom they do offer a outhouse, and it was clean to use. We didn't personally see anything we had to buy since we stop at some others in the area when we take a ride. We will for sure stop by again especially if we need any jar items or cider. They did just get some apples in as well they looked good.

One of my new favorite places in the Boone area when I go. There is no shortage of coffee shops in…read morethe Boone/ Blowing Rock area but Mountain Dog offers a little more than average - a dog park and much more. There are small freezers with Sheppard's pie's and other pies as well as cakes and biscuits. The food is a little pricey but they are all hefty meals. The coffee selection is a honest selection of a typical coffee shop but there is a special menu that is separate from the main "traditional" menu. The special menu is a compilation of special drinks (dog inspired). We tried the goldendoodle which was golden milk with chai and it was really good. The staff was quick and helpful and fun to talk with. This place is highly recommended!

We passed this while driving to Johnson City, TN from our home near Winston-Salem, NC. We did not…read morestop because it was Thanksgiving Day but noted the location for our return trip. On our travels toward home, we planned to take the same route, stopping at the original Mast General Store and the nearby Jerky Outpost. After leaving Mast General Store, we tried to map the Jerky Outpost but our reception was so bad, the maps on our phone did not work. Please keep this in mind when visiting the area, it is very remote. We made the wrong initial turn leaving Mast and heading towards Boone, and had to stop to ask directions. We found our way and came upon the Jerky Outpost. We drove up the driveway and parked in the small parking lot, with fewer than 10 spaces. We proceeded to the building which had been designed to look like three different old buildings. Once inside, the structure appears to be one building. There is jerky all over the place, along walls, on tables and also includes a large variety of different BBQ and hot sauces, nuts, snack foods and swag. We walked around a bit, selected a few items and paid at the counter. The prices seemed reasonable and the man at the counter was friendly and helpful. This was a pretty cool experience in a place you never would have expected. This is also a great place to pick up some gift items you might not see again.

The employees wear masks but gives the customers a choice to use their own discretion 3. Many of their products are local, made either in Boone or North Carolina 4. They have everything, including dog food. And please bring your dog 5. Three people work the place and they really try to ensure everything stays neat and organized 6. The prices are reasonable 7. They accept EBT cards. 8. They offer free delivery through a local service if you choose that option 9. Friendly local service just can't be beat 10.

I didn't have much time to look around as my dog was waiting in the car for me, but what I saw appeared great! They have homemade jams and jellies and canned foods for sale, Ashe Co. cheese, fresh baked goods, local soaps (including Hogwash!) among other things. They sell ice cream and drinks, including Dippin' Dots. They also have live bait for fishing, rafts for river floating, snacks, and more. The two people working there today were exceptionally friendly. They asked if I needed help finding anything. When I informed them that I didn't need help and couldn't stay long because my dog was in the car, they understood and proceeded to give me two small dog treats to give him! (He loved them.) I will definitely be back.
