Atlantic City Mercantile

If you’re like me and judge establishments by their taxidermy, there are not enough stars to hand out for The Mercantile in Atlantic City, WY. I’ve traveled extensively searching for pinnacle when it comes to rustic charm, and The Merc cannot be outdone. Beyond the aesthetics, the server at the bar was attentive to our needs and our lunch was fast and hit the spot after a day of blue grouse hunting at my secret spot (don’t bother asking me). I cannot wait for my next visit and hope I can make it in for a steak dinner soon, that is cooked on their open-flame grill seen in the photos.

Unfortunately, they were closing early so we didn't get to eat there. The person we talked to was very friendly. I was looking forward to seeing if their food had improved from our last visit. Guess we'll have to wait until next go round.

Old West and great food combine. Great ambience

recently had the pleasure of stopping by the Atlantic City Mercantile for lunch, and I must say, I was absolutely captivated by the Wyoming rustic atmosphere that greeted me. As I entered, I couldn't help but feel like I had stepped into a high-end museum rather than a restaurant. The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, happily sharing historic information about the area and informing me that this year marked the 130th anniversary of the establishment.

The bar area was a true gem, reminiscent of a bygone era with its transport from a burlesque in Hudson Wyoming. It added an extra touch of charm and authenticity to the overall experience. The lunch menu was refreshingly simple, focusing mainly on hamburgers and appetizers. While some may argue for an extensive menu, the Atlantic City Mercantile proves the adage that if you do one thing a day and do it well, it's worth it. And boy, do they do it well! I can confidently say that the burger I enjoyed there was one of the best I have ever had.
