Cotham's Mercantile at Scott began as an old general store and is now a restaurant. Having been around since 1917, it looks much the same as it always has. Its claim to fame is the food. "Where the Elite Meet to Eat" is the eatery's motto which is easily backed up by the photos adorning the wall. Nothing fancy here, just plain down-home cooking like fried catfish, hush puppies, pork chops, chicken and dumplings, daily plate lunch specials, and the signature dish: the "hubcap" hamburger, so named because of its size.
