I started going to the Hampton General Store over a year ago when I was traveling through, probably out of curiosity or nostalgic whim but, it now has become a regular stop over whenever I am on Route 6 or on Route 97 in Connecticut. First, walking in the door is a step back in time, to a period when people did welcome you, you are noticed. Secondly the food, especially the prepared food is beyond, excellent, surpassing exquisite. I am very busy and the preprepared meatloaf (WOW), steak tips, pork loin, Swedish meatball, various chicken dinners (too many to remember) and so on are a real treat. Well priced, plentiful and you taste the love.
The store has great novelties, premade sandwiches, soup, jellies, chocolates, COOKIES and jams plue enough unique items to keep even the most apprehensive shopper in awe.
AND, if the above were not enough, meet Buddy the dog. He is a staple at the store and welcomes you with a sniff, a smile and a paw. This place is not to be missed. read more
