They came topped with creamy queso & pico. I got the pickled jalapenos on the side. They were good. I was having trouble deciding what I wanted to get and asked our waitress Wendy to help me pick. She recommended getting the Blackberry Smoke Burger, which came with bacon, fried onion and a blackberry dijon jam, and subbing the cheese out for habanero cheese and adding a little yellow deli mustard at the table. While this would not have been my pick, I went with it and I am so glad I did. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!! I will come back again I am sure to have this again. I got it with loaded potato salad, which was also good. All in all, the burger was one of the best I have had in a long time and would recommend you stop by to get one too.

When we learned that Tony was 'new,' we were shocked. He was attentive without being smothering; he was sensitive regarding the accuracy of our orders; and just overall an intelligent, knowledgeable attendant. Now, to the food. If you find anything better, then I think that's where you need to be. But our choices were menu items that we are used to ordering. I feel we have a handle on what's excellent and what's not with regard to those choices. They were truly beyond our expectations. No, I am not naming them because then your expectations will spoil them for you. These guys know what they are doing. Trust them.

The gal behind the counter was very prompt and courteous and answered my questions about options on the menu. There is a big stove across the bar so you can see some of the cooking that gets done. The only issue with that is the heat...I didn't want my frosty beer glass to warm up while I enjoyed one of their local brews. I'd rather sit away from the cooking action. I ordered the crab cakes which came with coleslaw. The crab cakes had a nice sauce decorating the top of each cake. I asked for more because the crab cakes were a bit more bread filled than crab filled. I know I am spoiled with west coast Dungeness crab as you get a lot of chunks and not well flaked blue crab, but I really was hoping for more crab than I got for the money. The coleslaw was just okay. It was a nice mayo based dressing but lacked a tangy/sweet combo that I just adore. I am not impressed enough to return.

First things first -- get ready for a drive. This place is…read morenot just "down the street." It's a journey. But let me be very clear: it is 100% worth it. From the moment you arrive, you can tell Mercier Orchards is something special. There is so much packed into this one location that it almost feels like a small village built around apples and everything that comes with them. Inside the main store, the selection is honestly overwhelming in the best way possible -- home goods, gifts, jams, jellies, preserves, baking mixes, sauces, butters, ciders... anything and everything apple-related, plus plenty of other fruit-based goodies. It's the kind of place where you say "I'm just going to browse" and then walk out with bags of stuff you didn't know you needed. Then there's the bakery. Seven lines. All long. And all moving surprisingly well. I eventually stepped out of line after about 15 minutes, but not before getting a solid look at the pastries, pies, breads, and desserts -- everything looked incredible. Even without buying anything that round, the bakery alone is worth the stop. Now let's talk about the apple picking experience -- because this is where the magic really happens. Riding out on a trailer attached to a tractor felt like something straight out of a fall movie. The views, the air, the vibe -- it's peaceful, exciting, and nostalgic all at the same time. The apples change with the season, and the ones we picked were delicious and lasted a long time. No pesticides, just straight calcium. Fresh, crisp, and perfect. And yes... get a bag or three like I did. You're going to want them. The entire place also makes for amazing photo opportunities. Whether it's the orchard, the tractor ride, the store, or the scenery -- this is one of those spots where your camera roll is guaranteed to fill up. The only negative moment of the day happened when I went to grab some cider and one of the guys behind the counter completely ignored me. I actually had to call him out -- like, "Did you not see me standing here?" Not great. But that one interaction couldn't even come close to outweighing everything else this place offers. Bottom line: If you're anywhere in the area -- or even thinking about making a day trip -- you absolutely have to go. It's a little off the beaten path, so I don't expect most people to just "stumble" upon it... but if you plan it, you won't regret it. This is an experience, not just a stop.

The only complaint is that it was pouring rain and the handicap parking spot which they have was obviously put in place sometime ago. They have multiple.
