Star Mercantile

I like to eat at this longtime Wardensville WV fixture which is a mix of antique/collectibles and home cooking, especially when their daily specials include something interesting. About a week ago it was the ramp burger (or you could get a ramp hot dog). Ramps are pungent wild onions found only under certain conditions in the mountains. The burger was cooked to order and quite delicious by itself, but the sauteed ramp topping really added something special to the meal, which I washed down with a shake. The building has outdoor seating which I need to try sometime but their Facebook page will periodically announce they are closed or closing early due to hot conditions in the summer, something that they might want to correct. Otherwise, stop in the next time you're in Wardensville.

Perfect stop while passing through to DC. And, we each got a fun little souvenir we found while we waited for our food. Simple yet friendly pay at the counter service. Pressure Fried (Broasted) chicken was juicy and delicious as was the burger.

Amazingly delicious food, excellent service, hilarious and creative menu, and a lot of curious things to check out inside. Great outdoor sitting area too!

Small, little place where you can pass through and look at things in the shop or sit down and eat lunch. Some of the items in the shop were fairly unique while a few others in the toys and kids area were some that you may find elsewhere.

The mayor knows the corridor is being completed and Wardensville will become a ghost town. Everyone is slowly learning and starting to sell. FOIA requests to the owner of this property would answer your questions.
