    Sausage, egg, and cheese with hash browns
    Susan K.

    The General Store is located in a old-fashioned wooden stand-alone building in the center of town. The store is the site of much activity, with young families, construction crews, and retired residents enjoying the relatively inexpensive sandwiches and opportunity to see others in the neighborhood. There are a few outdoor and indoor cafe tables available. The hot sandwiches are named for different locations in Newtown. The Castle Hill -- composed of baked ham, honey mustard, and melted Swiss on grilled thin rye bread -- was perfectly proportioned. It proved to be one of those dining experiences in which a menu item is elevated to become your only choice because you can't imagine other items can be as good! A plethora of beverages and side snacks are available to complement the sandwiches. I returned for breakfast-- also relatively low priced -- and was surprisingly disappointed. I tried a sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich with an added hash brown, replicating what I had enjoyed at Sticks N Stones cafe in Mansfield, Connecticut. I also tried one of the coffee urns. The taste for both was oily and there was an odd aftertaste. In addition the bun appeared to have been pulled from cool storage and offered an unanticipated and negative contrast to hot contents. I recommend the Newtown General Store for quick lunchtime sandwiches at a reasonable price. Something to keep in mind... despite being a General Store they are closed on Mondays.

    Sirloin steak sandwich
    Michele T.

    My daughter and I found this place while in town shopping for Prom dresses (Sabrina Style- great boutique). It has a nice, historic atmosphere and they offer a decent sized menu of breakfast items and a wide variety of sandwiches. That was in June. It is now July and we've returned several times for their great sandwiches. We are currently hooked on their sizzlin' sirloin steak sandwich with melted Monterey Jack cheese, lettuce, tomato, and ranch dressing. It's amazing. I took half of mine back home for my husband and as he took a bite, his eyes got big and he said "where the heck did you get this sandwich?! I think it's the best steak sandwich I've ever had!" So there you go.

    Quaint general store with a deli. Awesome sandwiches and many good snacks to choose from. They also sell local products. Very impressed with this place and sandwich hit the spot.

    Giant croissant
    Tracy T.

    I love a good town general store! You can still get two good sandwiches, chips, a giant croissant and a drink for two for 20$ here! Amazing. Good sandwiches and a cute little place to enjoy them, inside or out! Great place for breakfast sandwiches or lunch, highly recommend if your in the area.

    After living (part time) in Danbury for almost six years, I finally went to Stew Leonard's and I…read morecan't believe I've been missing out! This is more than a grocery store, it's an experience. I'll have to go back because my first time I was overwhelmed by all there was to see and do. First, there were a lot of sample stations so I loved that. Next, there are so many interactive displays with chickens singing and flowers playing instruments...also someone dressed as a cow was schmoozing with toddlers. I got some great food there and the prices also seemed reasonable. Their bakery section stood out to me as well as their dairy. Will definitely check it out again if I'm on the east side of town.

Many of our family members hail from Central New York, so we are very skeptical of people talking about grocery stores in the same breath as Wegmans. This experience was unique, Fung, and we spent the drive back, wondering how we could fit this place into our family shopping... We decided that it's a Haven for proteins, seafood, and other center of the plate and corresponding vegetable items. Perhaps it's our inexperience throughout the store, but it seemed very difficult to find standard pantry items in sizes or quantities that would make sense for an active family We very much enjoyed the atmosphere, the samples were marvelous, the energy, and the staff We are very happy we went, and look forward to going back, and there is no comparison to Wegmans as it seems it's in a similar but slightly different category of functionality

We are making Lobster Fra Diavlo for din and we already got fresh Maine Lobstahs lol from a local fish monger but we needed to get all of the rest of the ingredients for the dish as well as making a pan bagnat for lunch (Niçoise tuna sandwich). We found all the beautiful and fresh ingredients we needed as this store is not lacking for want. I also got a couple of bouquets of fresh flowers and the single genius flower bunches were beautiful but I wanted a premade bouquet and the selections of premades were all starting to look a bit wilty sadly; maybe time for a sale to clear them out. This grocery store is very clean and nicely stocked. There were some ladies promotion vegan meat and they were offering samples but all the different departments had their own fair share of nice tempting goodies. It was packed and parking was tough but they are calling for some decent snow tomorrow (up to 18") so that didn't help the weekend rush. A nice grocery store that our family that lives here are regular and we frequents when we visit.

I decided to try the chicken quesadilla for $20 and the three-cheese chili dip... it was awful! The quesadilla was mostly bread, super bland, and tasted old. The garbage can enjoyed it. And the dip had no taste... like, what the heck happened here? Taco Bell would've been gourmet compared to this one. Whoever the cook or chef making this is, you apparently suck at making food. Disgusted and disappointed. The store is clean and the people working are great. But think twice before buying the prepared meals; for $ 9.99lb, you might just be wasting money.
