We stopped in Manchester for lunch on the drive from Nashville to Chattanooga and found this great spot. I got a plate lunch with roast beef, mashed potatoes, greens, and corn muffin. It was so tasty. The service was super friendly and the little shop a nice spot for gifts. Worth a stop!

While in Manchester Dana and Steven remembered it the first Friday of the month and that means it Shrimp Boil time 5 pm till close with kielbasa, red potatoes and Fried Catfish with their fabulous fries. Be sure and come in, its worth stopping for.

Didn’t really read reviews other than seeing the great ratings and decided to give it a try. Turned out to be cafeteria style for the specials or you can order from a good selection of things off a whiteboard. Everything was amazingly delicious! We will probably go out of our way to come back here when we are in the area. The fried chicken was some of the best I have ever had in my whole life and the roast beef/gravy was equally delicious. True home-cooked taste!

Live an hour away and heard about this place. Was in town at the state park and got a chance to go here for lunch.
The mercantile cafe was amazing and as good as people say. It’s a little like a hometown version of a Cracker Barrel – if cracker barrel was not a corporate chain.
Food was very good and hot and fresh. I ordered a chicken sandwich and fries. See the photo- it was twice the size of the bun and juicy and delicious. I was really happy and impressed.
Service was good and I feel like they are in business to feed people good food and they do a great job!
I will make a trip here again – well worth it.

My women’s motorcycle group stopped into The Merchantile Cafe for lunch and absolutely loved it. I had reached out to Renee ahead of time to reserve space for our crew. Our numbers dropped due to the rainy weather, but they were so accommodating.
I had a small portion of the chicken and waffles plus the fruit tea – delicious! Some others had the meat & 3 selection of the day which was met with rave reviews.
The real star of the show was dessert. Banana Pudding was to die for and the carrot cake (not pictured) was criminally good.
Highly recommend stopping by The Merchantile Cafe if you’re in the area. I’ll definitely be back soon to try some cookies & ice cream!

Such a cute shop/diner. Come hungry! Coffee was good too! We shared the jalapeño pimento cheese, bacon, and fried green tomato bagel with fries. It was delightful!

From the moment we walked in it was an experience, the food taste and presentation, the chicken and waffle was more than I expected and thats a good thing I recommend it, everyone was so nice and kind and it has a very home and family style atmosphere. Also the cakes and pastries in this place are so enticing I could just take one of all and thats not an exaggeration.
