Anyone who shops here knows unfriendly, rude cashiers are a long-standing norm. But this goes far beyond that. I witnessed deli employees openly mocking and laughing at a customer for wearing glasses, including using fake voices and calling them "nerdy." It was cruel, public bullying of someone who appeared to have an eye disability. The stuff of Disney schoolyard villains. Truly an insane thing to witness from grown men in work uniform on the clock. Here's the really disturbing thing... Leadership didn't even care. I reported it immediately and followed up many times (phone, email, website form, social) asking for leadership to respond. The marketing manager assured me that leadership was well aware of the incident. Two weeks later, I still haven't gotten a single response. I won't support a business that tolerates bullying and ignores people who speak up against it.

The store is neat inside and well stocked. The variety of ingredients is impressive. The selection of produce is limited, but looked fresh. I was disappointed that most items had no prices marked.

There are a couple little tables to eat at inside (but you order at the counter). The clerk/manager was ok, not really engaging or welcoming, but efficient.

Let me just say- we will 100% be back! The owner, Bruce, was super personable and stood around chatting with us and our friends for probably an hour. Seems like a very genuine person and very involved in the community. He's doing really cool things with his business and we're happy to support them now. He even gave us his lunch so that we could see how good it was. Totally unnecessary but very appreciated! The gentleman that does the grilling (can't remember his name) deserves an award for his tenderloin. It was fantastic! Seasoned to perfection, fresh, crispy... one of the best I've had in a long time. The tenderloin salad was SO good. My husband really enjoyed hanging out and talking with him as well. The woman in the kitchen (Anna I believe?)... SO SWEET! She brought us some homemade egg rolls to sample as we were leaving and they were absolutely DELICIOUS. The plum sauce was such a good touch and the ginger inside stood out and tasted amazing. The meat was very flavorful, the veggies inside were perfect, and the outside was crispy. I could easily stop once a week for her egg rolls... TOP NOTCH! The hang-out spot out back is cool! We love that it's nothing "fancy", it's like hanging out in a friend's back yard and we were able to park our SxS out back too. Everyone was chatty and happy to be there. Definitely a friendly crowd and our type of place! Being that we're only 13 mins away... I'm afraid we're going to be regulars now Definitely stop sometime!

Some of the prices were shocking - $50 for a frozen quiche! Insanity. Onions were $4 a pound! A plastic rocking chair at the entrance was for sale for $410, with no indication that it had been locally manufactured. Other prices seemed like what you would expect from a farmer's market. What I bought: A pint of cherry tomatoes for $5.00. I have not eaten them yet, but they are beautiful and of various colors. A single medium size tomato for $3.00. Three peaches for two dollars. Two of them were completely bland and had to be thrown away. They had no peach flavor at all. All three had bad spots. So I had about one half of a peach for two dollars. 8 ounces of lemonade for $3.25. This felt like a rip off, but I needed a cold drink on a hot day. Two cute little pears for $1.48. This ended up being the best buy. they were perfectly delicious. Very little of what is sold here is organic, which seems to be a statewide problem for grocery stores and farmer's markets in Indiana. The refrigerator had a badly rotten peach and an open can of cat food on the bottom shelf, which gave me serious concerns about the hygiene of this place, as if someone is not paying attention to detail when it comes to cleaning and maintenance.

You might think you're in the back woods of Indiana, but copies of recent Scientific American and Smithsonian fill the reading rack. A collection of Midwest minerals and fossils stand in an old cabinet. Wares by a few local artisans are offered. It's not fancy, six assorted tables. The breakfast menu fills a white board. I order eggs, hash brown casserole and a biscuit. The breakfast is ready in 10 or so minutes and served on syrofoam plates. The eggs are cooked perfectly, the hash browns stick to your ribs and the biscuit with delicious apple butter is filling. You can camp out back for $15 (primitive) $30 (electric) and pan for gold or collect rocks in the creek. It's not upscale or trendy. They might look at you funny if you ask for a latte. But these are the nicest people on earth and serve up a hearty breakfast on a cold day.

With our usual under renovation, we decided to go out of our way to drop by at the Gatesville Country Store on Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. before they closed at 3 p.m. They still had a number of customers and a trio of motorbikers came in afterwards. We picked from their specials which were a bean and ham stew with cornbread, bbq pork sandwich with home fries & onions, along with cherry cobbler. Picked our drinks from the cooler and sat out in the sunny porch table and enjoyed the 60+ degree weather after a 40 degree morning while Robin prepared our food. Friendly conversation with other customers and warm sun (and cold drinks) made it easy on the wait. (there are dining tables inside and under a covered porch too). Yes, the food is served on foam plates with plasticware, but the taste is home cooking with care. Crispy home fries with caramelized onions (can't resist with ketchup) and soft moist cornbread with whipped butter (not in package) that were perfect companion to the bean and ham stew. Though I prefer cherries that are more tart in cobbler/pie, the homemade crust made up for it. Snagged a brownie to take home since we couldn't resist. Altogether it was $23 and credit cards are accepted (whew!) Left wallet at home and we were scraping together cash and coins before we saw the credit card sticker on the door and added desserts to our order. A 15 minute country drive from Nashville which certainly would have been at least that long a wait finding a spot on a Sunday afternoon in Nashville.
