Mountaindale General Store & Restaurant

i cant compare to the first review, so ill give you the jist of it. great food, great prices on the fishing equipment, good prices on the beer. great guys to talk to, very knowledgeable, and if you ask nice, Tim will give you some great fishing locations and advice.

cold cut and fries, coldcut sub roll was just a roll one slice of chopped ham and one slice of turkey and one thin slice of cheese lettuce etc. not my idea of a coldcut sub.
the fries, burnt soggy and very greasy. I gave them a chance never again!

Nestled in the foothills of the Catoctin Mountains, away from the highways and the urban sprawl that society has created sits the little Mountaindale General Store & Catfish Nation, a throw back to a simpler time, free of the headaches of the nearby cities.
As a suburbanite, half city, half country, leaning towards country, I can really grow to appropriate this sort of place. But city-​folk, (Washingtonians, Balimoreans and so forth) aren’t going to get this place. So, if you’re sitting in your loft in NoMa, drinking a latte in your $ 900 Armani suit, just skip over the rest of this review. This is a place for country-​folk who like a high quality meal without having to cash in their 401k to enjoy.
It was a cold Superbowl Sunday morning when I Stopped by and paid a visit to the owner, Mr. Hagon to secret try his BBQ sub for $ 6.25. While he prepared the sub, this gave me a chance to look around the shop to see how a real country store should looks (As opposed to commercialized themes ones like Cracker Barrel).
It your typical general store which sales beer and whatnot, but what makes this place stand out from his neighbor down the street with the similar name was the fact that this place sells a lot of fishing supplies. This is your one stop shop if you’re into hunting and fishing. (Hence the Catfish Nation part of the name, which stems from the Catfishing tournaments the owner hosts)
I headed down off the hill after paying the man for a sub and bottle of Mt. Dew. Getting back home to watch the pre-​game show I found the 10″ sub to be pretty damn filling. The meat is not messiah-​grade $ 100/​lb stuff you will get at Le Douche Peirre on Capitol Hill, but with the sweet, tangy, yet spicy homemade BBQ sauce, you’re not going to care this isn’t Kobe beef.
So, if you like subs (and other meals) that won’t break the bank and are not afraid to venture in to NoCo (Northern County) then you’ll find real American country cooking up here. (Unless, you’re a commie, then feel free to buy your $ 27 BBQ sub at BBQ Le Douche Peirre)
