Doe Valley area

67 West – Monsoon  - (423) 768-3327
This is THE place to go for authentic Thai food and the best egg rolls you will ever eat.  Just plan to eat them hot from the fryer - they don't reheat well! 

Also the friendliest atmosphere you will ever find! The locals call 67 West, "Mel's Place" because Mel cooks each order while you wait.  No fast food here - just wonderful spicy (or not so spicy) Thai food prepared with locally grown or freshly caught ingredients in season. Spicy chicken, sweet and sour pork, frog legs (sometimes), wonderful fried rice - once you discover Mel's, you'll come back again and again.  Just 4 miles from the Iron Mountain Inn Bed &  Breakfast.

• Excellent Thai food – prepared as you wait
• Not fancy, but you’ll go back again and again
• Where the locals gather for good food and good conversation

"Larry's" Doe Valley Food Mart - (423) 727- 6589

• Gas, deisel, and kerocene available

Dry Hill General Store - (423) 768-3084   
Say hi to Carolyn and Richard, the owners. They are from the area, left to make their living and returned to retirement. But got bored so started a small country store which has grown and grown! It's where all the neighbors and local workers gather to catch up on the gossip. And the food is very good!

• An old-fashioned country store and deli in Butler, TN.
• Local deliveries for vacationers and residents.
• Stop in for a corned beef sandwich or one of the daily specials. Carolyn’s fruit plate is stupendous
