Watauga Lake Mercantile — Restaurant in Beech Mountain

The Cook is really good, we haven’t had anything we don’t like. If you don’t dine in check your order before leaving the store, we have got home and had the wrong order 4 or 5 times. Also, they could do a better job sprucing the place up. The screened in patio is nice but if they decorated it with fish and bears or mountain decor it would feel so much cozier. We live across the street on Watauga and go here twice a week. The place is a mile from the lake and should have tackle, minnows etc., they sell night crawlers but all 3 times I tried to buy some they were out.

Try pleasants store down on 67 and doe creek if you’re hungry during them times they aren’t open. The place is good...

When we were checking out I believe they overcharged us but the waitress had no idea how to recall the order and check. It was so disappointing and frustrating we just walked out after paying. Avoid this place at all costs you'll be better off driving to Mountain City and eating breakfast...

Not sure where to start. Food is great...just like mom, or grandma used to make! Service is friendly and personable! The atmosphere is homey and comfortable! Live music the last time I was there....very cool.

I live in Texas, but am from the Elizabethton/Butler/Midway area. Every time I get back to Midway I visit Dry Hill General Store. If you live close, or just passing through, it's worth a visit. You should definitely stop and satisfy your appetite. And don't forget the...
