The best, fresh, flavored and plain roasted peanuts available. My favorite is Cajun. My daughter who lives in a different State loves these too so I use these as a frequent gift. read more

Great little store in Peanut Central! I stopped by on my way from the Florida panhandle to Macon, GA. Why no Ty take the back roads? Plans, GA is a very, very small town, but it's got a lot of charm. Plain Peanuts is part of that! As I walked in, someone told me that I had to try the peanut butter ice cream. I did. It was great!! I also tried some of the fried peanuts. I walked out with a bag of those, along with some peanut brittle. Lots of great stuff here with all kinds of Southern charm to go along with it! read more

The front counter help was very very friendly. There's a nice selection of roasted and raw and flavored peanuts. They are reasonably priced. We got a large bag of raw peanuts for around $13. They also carry many T-shirts and hats. It's a fun experience. The store is nicely laid out. read more

I promised when the confederate flag was removed from the wall by the peanut butter ice cream counter, I would change my rating of this nifty little store to a 5 star review. Love this store, this town, these folks. Thank you for loving ALL people, and taking down that dreadful flag. I am not proud to give a 5 star review. For specifics - folks can read my previous reviews that tell of the wondrous'ness of this historic and nostalgic little gem. Peace. read more

Plain Peanuts - Chocolate-peanut swirl - Candy Stores Near Me - Plains, Georgia

If you are visiting Plains, you must stop by. These folks are friendly and so accommodating. You can sample just about anything they carry in the store. They have all kinds of peanut products, political and local souvenirs, Jimmy Carter memorabilia, and oh my heck, they have 'Billy Beer' (available in 6-pack and singles). We came twice just to get the peanut butter ice cream. It might just be the BEST thing I've ever put in my mouth! read more

Plain Peanuts - front entrance - Candy Stores Near Me - Plains, Georgia

Last Friday we hopped on a plane and found ourselves in a harbor from the past. The reason? Plain and simple: Plains, GA. A town invested in three things: President Jimmy Carter, community, and peanuts. All three of which prominently find their place in quaint spot on Main St. (also fondly known as downtown- with the only billboard marking the home of our 39th President) at Plain Peanuts. The second you walk into the shop you are greeted with more than kindness: a sample of their homemade peanut butter ice cream. And the sweetness doesn't end there, while you walk the parameter of the store samples abound; fried peanuts (which I highly recommend you mix in with the full serving of previously mentioned magical ice cream you will buy), peanut butter (the real stuff), and peanut brittle to name a few. And if you find yourself in the shop multiple times over your visit (like we did), the servers will host you with a smile like they've known you for years and never become stingy with above stated samples. In this town you become a neighbor the minute you check in, and while you likely came for a Sunday School lesson from our former President, you will receive more than his wisdom to savor when you leave. Undeniably, I went nuts for this place. And if you don't believe me, you can check my boyfriend's carry on bag that clocked in around 10 pounds heavier due to an influx in peanut purchases to bring home to family and friends. Still not sure you trust me? You'll spot me on the streets of Columbus wearing a gray tank with my confident declaration "I went nuts in Plains, Georgia." read more

Plain Peanuts - a woman in a peanuts costume - Candy Stores Near Me - Plains, Georgia

Loved the samples of ice cream and peanuts. Wonderful location close to shopping and sightseeing. Lots to choose from. Very affordable prices. Will definitely be back. The graders at the door were very funny and friendly. I know why Jimmy Carter loves Plains Georgia. read more

Everything about this cute southern establishment is amazing. It's so authentic and has the best peanut butter ice cream and this is coming from someone who doesn't love peanut butter!!! Definitely worth the visit if anywhere near!!! read more

This is definitely geared towards tourists. However, unlike many tourist traps, this one is actually worth checking out even if you are a local. Plain Peanuts, despite it name, is actually more famous for their well beloved peanut butter ice cream than anything else. Definitely some of the best ice cream ever and I'm not normally the biggest fan of peanut butter-flavored items. In addition to the ice cream and the flavored peanuts, they also sell a lot of memorabilia and souvenir of former president Jimmy Carter and his family. Everything from the Billy Beer cans (a beer created by Jimmy Carter's younger brother Billy during his presidency), books, t-shirts, ballcaps, etc. It's a small local store that packs a mighty punch. The owners are nice and helpful as well. I always stop through whenever I am in the area to get some more of the ice cream. Definitely the place to stop by for some novelty snacks from Southwest Georgia read more

This is a review for the product that we ordered online. I have now had three different batches of product and they knock it out of the park. The cinnamon brittle and the chocolate brittle are insane! And the fried peanuts? Oh my God. Worth paying a little extra for. One of these days I will make a road trip and visit this place and personally thank them. Yum. P.S. Their web server sucks. Please... change to something that works. I would happy to host your site for some brittle. Talk to me. I have bandwidth, I just need peanuts. read more

After driving around Southwest Georgia and visiting the Carter Historic Site at Plains High School, you will have seen the word "Peanut" so much you will be craving them pretty bad. Well, look no further! Right on Main Street and hard to miss (thanks to a massive Carter for President banner) is Plain Peanuts. I get the sense this store really depends on the tourist crowd coming through to see the Carter sites. Being from a tourist town myself, I know a tourist hot spot when I see it - the back half has shelves of t-shirts and other souvenirs and an ice cream parlor seating area. The front half of the store has all sorts of peanut products - pretty much peanuts cooked every which way you could want. It seemed many of the store's visitors during our visit were from further afield than us - California, Washington, etc. So, for these visitors (we tend to call you "Yankees") I HIGHLY suggest you overcome your natural revulsion and fall in love with the boiled peanut. The ones in Plain Peanut are not the best I've ever had, but they tasted like the real deal, made from green peanuts, rather than the sort of fake/frozen one's you might get in a gas station. So short of an old man's cart on the side of the road, this is about as good of an introduction to this delicacy as you will get. Beyond boiled peanuts there are numerous types of brittle, fried, and roasted peanuts. There is also a small drink cooler with a limited selection. The peanut products' packaging declares that they are from right there in Plains, GA, which is cool - visit Plains, eat Plains Peanuts AT Plain Peanut. It's always a bummer to visit a place like this and turns out the peanuts are from Dothan or something. Customer service was very friendly, prices were unrealistically low (1 lb fried peanuts for under $4 at time of this review), and free samples of many products were offered. Bottom line: After the long drive to Plains and the interesting but educational Carter sites, one might as well stop in and satiate their peanut craving before they hit the highway. read more

After taking some time off to experience President Carter's invaluable Sunday School teachings, I visited Plain Peanuts. The staff were lovely and the prices were very fair given the quality they offered. To this day the Vidalia Onion / Georgia Peach hot sauce is one of my all time favorite food staples. The peanut butter ice was also to die for. Forget all the commercial stores with processed foods, come here and be amazed and enchanted as you embrace the true essence of Southern charm and attention to quality detail. read more

Very friendly business. Came in and was welcome by the staff. I asked about a place to eat and they went out of their was to call the local restaurant to see if they were open. And the peanuts are wonderful. read more

We volunteered on the SAM Shortline and made a stop in Plains on our runs, we always made sure to stop by Plains Peanuts and grabbed us some soft serve peanut butter ice cream, best ice cream this side of the Mississippi.

Fried peanuts, home fried pork skins and peanut butter ice cream... YUMMY. I splurged and had large cup of peanut butter soft serve ice cream. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention FREE SAMPLES! read more

We discovered them several years ago during a visit to Plains, to attend an APIC dinner with Mr. Jimmy & Ms. Rozlyn. This is one of the places in Historic Plains to visit, & we bought peanut butter & peanuts to take pack to NJ. Peanut butter was about the best I've ever tasted & we have been buying on line ever since. Tried the fried peanuts, peach jam & it's all delicious & the shipping costs aren't so bad!! read more

Awesome selection of peanut products and souvenirs. I was able to take care of everyone on my list here. The cashier was so helpful in selecting the perfect fudge for my friends in Washington. The fudge is divine, as is the peanut butter ice cream. This place is a must! read more
