The bartender described some of the local beers that we were not familiar with and took our order quickly. The grilled chicken sandwich was juicy and flavorful and the fries were cooked to a golden brown, just the way I like them. Ambience was "bar casual" with a mix of locals and out-of-towners. It's a fun place and located in easy walking distance from the White Horse music venue.

Mac's tag line is "best dang burgers in town!" I've only eaten one burger since arriving in Black Mountain but I can say it's the best burger I've eaten in all of Charlotte and I've eaten many. Grilled on a flat top with just enough sear to seal in the juiciness. My Patty Mac was served on fresh grilled sourdough with grilled onions and cheese. My Bride's burger was served on a substantial fresh bun with no seeds or foo foo brioche with crips veggies. She ate every bite! Hand cut fries were a generously served sufficient for two to share. If your hungry for a quality, reasonably priced burger and find yourself anywhere near Black Mountain get off the interstate and stop by one of their two locations...treat yourself!

Market has myriad gourmet items, from wines, interesting beers, cookies and snacks, mountain favorites (pickled okra ), and gifts. Also a robust frozen section with ready to heat meals (lasagna from a company in Charlotte was a surprising 11/10), fish, meats, etc. Deli counter with steaks, fresh fish, cold cuts and deserts. Their deli sandwiches were spectacular. We tried the caprese, turkey and chicken salad versions - all great. Full bar inside too for tipsy shopping. For breakfast we had egg sandwiches and biscuits and gravy - excellent, no notes. Staff and owners very friendly and efficient. Dog friendly patio was a plus (hi Cooper!).

We visited the deli/shop as the restaurant was closed. We stopped in to grab lunch. They have salads by the pound and premade sandwiches. Very limited menu. We ordered the Italian sub which was on crusty bread and warmed up. Very tasty. Since couldn't modify sandwiches and order without the bread, ordered a half pound of the chicken salad. It was good. Had berries and grapes with lots of herbs in it. Could have done without the grapes. Grabbed a bag of Bloody Mary chips that were tasty. They do have lots of wine and a huge drink case. There's also the market that sells lots of unique and specialty brands, as well as local brands. They do have several bakery items such as cookies and some lovely looking cakes available by the slice. This is a boutique style deli/store so be aware that that vibe is also reflected in their pricing. Nice place to explore.

Here are a few of my chief complaints: 1) There was no one to check me in when I arrived late after a long flight from California. After standing in the empty front room for a while, I saw a small sign saying to call a number to check in. I called twice before an insolent teen in sweatpants finally showed up to give me my key. 2) The inn adds a daily "tip" for room cleaning on top of an already high bill. (This is one of the more splurgey places to stay in the Black Mountain area.) If that wasn't rude enough, no one ever came by during my three-night stay to clean/tidy the room. The toilet bowl had dirt marks all over it when I showed up and there they stayed for the duration of my visit. No one made the bed. 3) Internet did not work. 4) Breakfast begins late -- at 8.30am -- because the chef has to take his five children to school. Seriously. So if you're staying there for work, as I was, you have to get breakfast elsewhere. That being said, after a lengthy argument with aforementioned insolent teen, the chef prepped me some breakfast items before he left for the night and left them in the fridge. That was very sweet of him.
