U-B's Mercantile LLC

Wowza. What a fun find! The place is totally Bigfoot dedicated and has a ton of cool internal and external murals. You can compete in the Bigfoot pancake challenge -- if you dare. Lots of merchandise - from food to gifts. Restaurant is good. Staff is kind and accommodating. Such a cool place literally in the middle of almost nowhere.

This is a weird 5-star rating. This place is in the middle of nowhere and painted up to a Bigfoot theme. The food is decent, but the owner and staff are wonderful sweethearts and the owner is having an incredible amount of fun. The Bigfoot theme is inexplicable, and really pushes this to a must see place. The owner did all the painting herself. The menu is extensive, and it's very much a diner. There are a lot of baked goods, but I'm gluten free, so I have no idea. She's just having more fun baking like the wild woman that she is. She's just adorable and this is kind of like something out of a David Lynch movie, only happy sane people and with no deaths.

I've spent a lot of time over the years traveling throughout the Adirondacks, but this is the first time I really noticed U-B's, so I stopped in for breakfast since the nearby Hillside Diner recently closed. The service was friendly, and breakfast was very tasty and well-prepared.

The whole place is adorned with bigfoot-themes paintings by a local artist, who I'm told is a retired school teacher. A sign indicates "one stop shopping", which it indeed it is. It has a little of everything, which is important in such a far flung, sparsely populated area.

Driving along state route 3, you'll notice along the side of the road a parade of American flags planted in the ground that stretches for several miles. Every few feet among the flags, sits a boot, in honor of our fallen war heroes. This is the handiwork of U-B's owner, Kim, a proud veteran herself, she tells me, and the plan is to stretch the flag memorial parade for 30 miles. Quite an impressive memorial.

Anyone travelling through the area needing to stock up on supplies, or grab a bite to eat, would be well served to stop in to this quirky, but utilitarian outpost, because there's nothing else around to satisfy one's needs for miles and miles.

Five stars.

I love this place! They've got a nice variety of groceries, prepared foods, gifts, camping supplies, sweatshirts, beer, gas - even books and sometimes houseplants, for sale. They have great coffee, sandwiches and, what my son declared..."the best fish fry I've ever had". I make a point of bringing my friends here whenever possible.

pretty much all ya need & better pricing than most around the area , locally owned & a huge community supporter/s

We came upon U-B's as we were vacationing in the North Country, and traveling from Alex Bay to Saranac Lake. It appeared like an oasis alongside the road, just as we were thinking about a lunch stop.

The exterior may show its age, but don't pass it up based on appearance! The cafe has a very extensive menu, and we had very fresh, tasty, and delicious salads. There were many other tempting items on the menu, as well as some incredible baked goods. Deapite the remote location, prices were very reasonable, especially for the quality.

The Bigfoot decor was whimsically delightful, and there was a HUGE library area in the back where one could freely take or leave books.

Attached is also a very well stocked convenience store. The employees were pleasant and helpful.

We would happily stop again if we ever find ourselves passing by again!

My sister and I stopped for something to eat real quick on the way to our AirBnb. The two women in there were very friendly and helpful! Not only with things around their store, but they gave us maps and told us the better places to spot a moose because that’s the reason my sister and I came to NY-To spot a moose in the mountains!
Probably stopping by here on the way home to try the Bigfoot challenge!

Fantastic place ! Great food, even better treats! Genuine people. A must stop if your near !!

The place is AWESOME!! Great food, great selection in the store. I'm a Bigfoot guy so I was right at home! They serve "real" fresh fruit too. I felt right at home. I'm from Wanakena and I live in Florida now, UB's is my goto place now. Thanks for a good time!

Burgers were very fresh, and the chicken tender sub was delicious too. Generous ice cream servings for the price. Friendly staff. Great stop after a weekend of backpacking!

Very nice stop, older lady at the store/gas side was very friendly, bathrooms on the ice cream side are nice and clean, didnt get any food or anything but a nice bathroom and gas stop on our long car ride!

Love this place. Propane refill, some outdoor supplies, and a great bacon egg & cheese. No complaints.

My wife and I stopped in on the 4th of July and both of us were pleased with our sandwichs

They made our wedding cake and it looked and tasted fantastic! I would highly recommend them, thank you!

Great Sandwich, awesome fries and superb soup plus walls of fun murals, we'll be back. Check it out, a diamond in the rough

A little roadside gem! Great food and friendly service!

What a great friendly place! Staff is warm and inviting, food is excellent!

Really great people and good customer support

Food was good and the employees were friendly.

More than a convenient store. Great general store with an awesome deli.
