Not many places are worth journeying to the middle of nowhere. However, there are exceptions to every rule, and in this case, the exception is Ferguson’s! It’s both a country store and a restaurant – and it’s hard to say which half is better. The country store boasts two levels of great stuff, while the restaurant serves up a slew of home-style classics, including some of the state’s best cinnamon rolls.

Housed in a huge, rustic building right off Highway 65, Ferguson’s is pretty easy to find – despite being tucked away in the tiny town of Saint Joe.
