They have a mix of local bulk foods (honey, jellies, jams, chocolates, candies, etc.), a cooler aisle (drinks, sauerkraut, etc.), and a sandwich deli in the back. Bathrooms are clean. Parking is plentiful. And there's no hurry in shopping. If you can't find something, they'll point you to three kinds of whatever you're asking for. You will always buy twice what you expected and eat some multiple of the candies you promised yourself you'd "save" on the way home. So save room in your trunk, people.

The estimated a wait time of 20 minutes and I think it was 40 minutes to get a table. I also getting that guessing a wait time is hard. The bar area is cool and the outside area is great. My sandwich was amazing! It was called the Hoover (they have a presidential name theme) and it was a fried chicken sandwich and it was huge. Overall, I definitely recommend going there, but just be aware that there might be a wait and it might be a little slow.

Excellent food. The Gap Deli is one of my faves! I wish they would offer breakfast though.read more

This is an oasis of food in a rural area. They offer online ordering, which I kind of wish I'd done…read morebecause it was crowded and there was a wait, but when you're driving the parkway down here, getting any kind of cell service is iffy. They have indoor and outdoor seating, both of which was full. Often times I walk into restaurants where I'm the only person who doesn't speak the language; here I was clearly the only non-Appalachian person in sight. They offered a veggie burger based on black beans, for which I got more beans as a side. The burger didn't hold together well and made a bit of a mess, but this was ultimately solvable. The accoutrements added to make a dynamic flavor, so I wasn't too disappointed. Their pinto beans came with onions and chow chow, which again elevated the flavor. I appreciated the opportunity to order an apple cider in season. The ability to get fresh and vegetarian-friendly food in this area is valuable. It's not fancy, but it is fresh.

I thought a cafe halfway down a mountain with difficult access to fresh food and drink would be pretty weak but the Chicken Tenders, Fries, and atmosphere kicked butt (I think I have to say 'butt' on Yelp). The Chocolate Cake was a little dry but still maintained a great taste. The wait time was pretty long but that's no big deal because you're chillin' on a mountain. Where else would you rather be? The people were also friendly--a big plus. It should be noted that on another review platform, customers seemed to favor the desserts. I never really ate much Chicken Tenders as a kid, so I have been making up for that over the last three years. Now, no matter where I go--even if a Japanese restaurant--I order Chicken Tenders.

I try to pop in on the regular when I'm on my farm in Mendota. Katie and her team are so friendly and always have yummy freshly baked goods like delicious gluten free peanut butter cookies, cupcakes, brownies, pineapple upside down cake, all sorts of baked goodies. I can't decide if my favorite sandwich is the good ole BLT or the Chicken salad on the croissant they are both so yummy! They have lots of other things too. There is a beautiful outdoor patio and live music concerts about once a month when the weather is nice. You have to check on Facebook to see who is playing. It's really great! I wholeheartedly recommend that you check out lovely Mendota and visit their sweet general store The Store at Mendota. Oh and I nearly forgot, free wi-fi & free parking!! Don't underestimate free wi-fi when you are out in the middle of God's gorgeous country because you're unlikely to get a signal.
