No, it is not a dilapidated home, it is a restaurant. Yup, we ate here.
This is Cotham's Mercantile in Scott, Arkansas. It is not too far from the school where my sister teaches. It is an old mercantile turned into a restaurant. I believe they still have stuff on the shelves from when it was a mercantile. My roomie and I were watching the food network and saw the restaurant featured, so we just had to go there. Despite the fact some "nice" southern woman cut in front of me in line while waiting for a table and that the air conditioning was out, I enjoyed my experience.
Their specialty (I think) is their hamburger. It is called a Hubcap b/c it is as big as a Hubcap. This is no way tickled my fancy so I stuck with chicken strips. We all enjoyed our food and I especially enjoyed the onion rings (onion rings are high on top of my last meal list). It is definitely one hole in the wall you should check out.
Crazy thing - when we were waiting for a table I started talking to this older couple who told me they had been there about 15 years ago. We discuss where we are from and realize we live in the same town! It is truly a small world!
