83805 located approximately 3 miles from Robinson Lake Campground.
The Wild Horse Mercantile/Saloon is a one stop shop for just
about anything you may need even if you did know you needed it. As you enter the establishment there is small
and well stocked mini general store. Off
to the left they have a small craft shop full of interesting things that are
just waiting to find a new home. The
Saloon is off to the right of the general store area there they have bar
seating and tables for your convenience.
The Saloon area is rustic with some unique posters and signs displayed
very tastefully around the room. They
have fire wood, ice, gasoline, diesel, and propane (for filling your tank) all
at competitive prices.
I had lunch at the Wild Horse Mercantile on a lazy July
afternoon at the Wild Horse Mercantile.
I ordered their Cubin Pork sandwich with a house salad. As usual the service was great and the
environment was very comfortable they make you feel at home. The sandwich was piled high with pork that
reminded me of southern pulled pork with a little different taste it was very
good and filling. The pork was tender and
moist with a sweet and tangy taste topped with red onions and a hint of dill
pickles. The salad was a house salad and
I have had house salads before but this was one of the better house salads I
have had. The salad had a good mix of
greens along with cucumber, tomatoes, and shreds of carrots. The dressing I had was raspberry vignette
walnut it was fresh and very tasty.
There breakfast is to die for I had the French Toast and my
friend Otto had the Heavenly Sheepherders breakfast(bacon & onions cooked
in hash browns with 2 eggs nestled in topped with cheddar jack cheese covered
with sausage gravy). Otto had stopped in
to visit with me on his way to visit his brother in MI and thought he was
hungry so I took him to the Wild Horse Mercantile…he ordered the Heavenly
Sheepherders breakfast and found that he was not hungry by the Wild Horse’s
standards. He tried to eat the whole
breakfast but could not do it. The
French toast with sausage was delicious and portioned perfect. Their coffee was strong and fresh the cups
stayed full thanks to the staff.
Not only do they serve great food and lots of it they have a
full service Saloon for that refreshing adult beverage you desire.
If you are any were near the Wild Horse Mercantile you have
to stop in visit with my friends Beth and Ray.
A word of warning don’t order anything to eat unless you are hungry and
not afraid of possibility becoming addicted to the great food at the Wild Horse
Mercantile/Saloon
