There was a thirty minute wait, but it was very well worth it. It was served with cheesy grits and Brussels sprouts with shallots and bacon. The entrees come with a salad and the most delicious biscuits, served with homemade jam. The menu offers a good variety of options. Not surprisingly, the restaurant was just as great as the store. The store is well laid out, HUGE, and the employees were super friendly and helpful. We bought several items, including enamelware mugs, salt and pepper shakers, shirts, and cute little retro looking clocks, just to name a few. The store offers TONS of unique, high quality, as well as, reasonably priced merchandise. The Mercantile features a store, a bakery, and a restaurant. Apparently, the building is about 100 years old, and it has been beautifully restored. If you are a fan of Ree Drummond, AKA the Pioneer Woman, then you have probably heard about the “Merc.” It is simply amazing! Firstly, the building itself is so cool. That brings us to our visit to the Mercantile. I would have loved to spend more time exploring… Gracious sakes… it was so worth the drive! While we really traveled to Pawhuska with the sole intent to visit the Pioneer Woman’s Mercantile, it turns out that this small Oklahoma town is super cool! It is a very quaint, charming, and historic place that features some really interesting architecture, as well. It was a fun place to begin our adventures!Īfter a LONG drive that took us very close to the Kansas/Oklahoma border, we finally arrived in Pawhuska. We enjoyed a picnic lunch of homemade egg salad sandwiches, potato salad, fruit, and brownies. There were picnic tables, a very nice gift shop, clean bathrooms, ample parking, and friendly people. This place was a very nice surprise! We knew that we were going to stop along the way for a picnic, but we just happened upon this place.

We ended up stopping to eat lunch at the Chickasaw Nation Welcome Center in Davis, Oklahoma. Our plan was to visit the Pioneer Woman Mercantile in Pawhuska, Oklahoma in the afternoon. Our trip began when Sister and my niece Hartlea picked me up early on Saturday morning. Join me as I share with you about our exploits! Day 1: A Picnic and Pioneer Woman Some of the highlights included a visit to the Pioneer Woman Mercantile, a day of antique shopping, a Jonas Brothers concert, and even a visit to a casino. In fact, it was even better than we imagined. There are few things that I love as much as a road trip! There’s something so exciting about piling into the car with a destination in mind and seeing what adventures await! Our road trip did not disappoint.
