    Took a little drive to get out of the house and ended up here for lunch. The staff was friendly, took orders efficiently, and got them out to customers ASAP. I was disappointed to see that the wait staff was not wearing masks or gloves in the midst of this pandemic. I ordered two chili cheese dogs and onion rings and my dining partner had a burger and fries. Overall the food was pretty good. If I'm in this neck of the woods again we might stop in.

    I really wanted to like this place, I appreciate restaurants that have been around for a long time, but this place is serving up sad, bland, flavorless food! I ordered the hamburger steak with fries and macaroni and cheese. Usually when I eat at a hole in the wall restaurant they have really good baked macaroni and cheese. This was not baked, this didn't even have real cheese, they were obviously using canned cheese in their mac and cheese which should be a crime! The hamburger steak literally had no flavor at all, and the hamburger was tough and chewy. It came with cornbread, I asked the waitress if it was sweet cornbread and she said it was, she couldn't have been further from the truth! This cornbread was completely dry and flavorless. I do have to give them extra credit for being nice, the waitress and who I assume was the owner were very friendly, but their food is terrible! Maybe I should have ordered something different, judging by the photos uploaded to Yelp it seems like people only order hamburgers and hot dogs here, that might have been a safer bet!

    Awesome signage.

    I was back in my birthplace for my 80 y/o Mom's wedding, so I *had* to stop by Dick's Drive-In a couple of times. First visit was a cheeseburger w/mustard, chili, slaw (my usual) and fries. Ridiculously good. Second visit was inside the restaurant w/brother and his awesome family. Seeing that Dick's had won "best hot dog in town," I ordered that with "the works" and my usual cheeseburger w/mustard, chili, slaw and fries. Also got some hush puppies for the family to try and some slaw. The hot dog was so vibrantly pink that my nieces recoiled but I devoured every bit of it and everything they delivered. My nieces were skeptical, but said they ended up loving it, which brought me joy. I heart this place.

    I ordered meatloaf, what I got was ground beef (some of it pink) with onions and and ketchup. No seasoning, at all. Mac and cheese was ok, really heavy and fried squash was pretty good. Didn't realize that this place only takes cash, and to top that, their atm (which surcharges) was broke. While I was here I saw employees eating while fixing food and a kid being allowed to run around in the kitchen.

    Sign and lot.

    Solid, middle of the road drive in. Serves a nice breakfast, good sandwiches, fries, some plates. The hot dog and cheeseburger were pretty good, but not great. The service is excellent here, and it gets busy on the weekends. This place does much well, just not anything spectacular. It is a point of opportunity type place, not a destination type place.

    Chicken sandwich.

    Great local establishment. We had a variety of food to sample the menu. I would recommend the Munchers which are potatoes, jalapeños, and cheese. So good. I had a chicken sandwich that came with a salad and fries. I will be returning to this establishment!

    The marquee at Dick's Drive In boasts that they have the best hot dog in Rockingham County as voted by its citizens. I don't see how. I would strongly urge these voters to make the 20 minute drive to Johnson's Family Grill in Madison, also in Rockingham County, where a truly excellent hot dog can be found. I am certain they will vote differently next time. My hot dog was served with cold chili, so I asked for a replacement. The replacement came out with lukewarm chili, which was average tasting at best. The slaw tasted pretty good but was a little too wet. The real problem, perhaps, was the hot dog itself, which had little flavor, and what flavor there was was not good. The fries tasted old. The onion rings were very tasty but leaned greasy. The large burger was not that large, but the bun was. The patty was flattened out to try to make it appear larger, but this just made for a poor burger-to-bread ratio. The cheese was literally a half slice of American cheese and not fully melted. I had high hopes for Dick's but was sorely disappointed. Dick's slogan is "The place to be since '63". Not me.

    We had heard about this newish restaurant in King but no one elaborated about how good the food was…read moreand how fun the experience is there. When we walked in for dinner it was crowded so we sat at the bar and ate our dinner. As it turned out this was the place to be. The bartender is quite good at his craft. It was fun to see him make and Old Fashioned with the fanfare of the smoked drink under glass. Then someone ordered a cherry Manhatten with a smokey bubble in the glass which popped when presented. I was impressed as I had never seen that technique before. I'm totally ordering again next time I come! Behind me was a long table and on top shooting flames enclosed in a long glass fireplace. Really quite a centerpiece with people dining around each side of it. I wanna bring my friends and sit in front of it, so cool! I ordered a petite filet that was tender and delicious, just the right size when you don't want a huge meal. I ordered a grilled romaine stock as a side. It was better than Ive had in the past. Lightly oiled and grilled not charred. I ordered a baked potato as my side to go w my filet. Quite pleased w my choices. The environment is cozy and the staff and guests are friendly. Next time I'm in King this is where Im going!

    I am soooo close to giving this spot a 5 - there's only a couple of tweaks and this meal would have…read morebeen perfect. Firstly, the parking situation is dire. Especially during rush hour. So make sure you arrive a few minutes early for your reservation just for parking sake. The space, however, is beautiful inside. Very roomy and dark, romantic vibes. I also love the little fireplace along the long table in the front. Our service was also exceptional. Our waiter made great recommendations and was very accommodating. Isaac was a true gem. The food was really outstanding for a steakhouse in little ol King. We started with bread service but they served it with cold butter which we all know won't spread well. Easy enough fix. The pot roast nachos could have used more cheese, namely a melty cheese but the roast was cooked expertly. So tender and juicy. The rest of our group thought the calamari was overcooked but I didn't mind it. The crab dip was my favorite app, perfect in every way. My ribeye with Mac and cheese and collard greens was superb. The steak was seasoned and cooked perfectly. The Mac and cheese was creamy and the collards had a kick to it that I enjoyed. I liked the brownie dessert but it wasn't anything special. My blood orange margarita was also very good. Overall I highly recommend The Mercantile if you want to eat somewhere off the beaten path. I can't wait to bring my husband back for date night!
