Historic general store in the town of Volcano It was a warm day on the first day of August so we stopped by the Country Store to buy some cold drinks. Inside you will find things and stuff of all sorts from picture frames to toiletries to groceries. The atmosphere is so nostalgic with lots of character... I love it. It is a historic general store and it was pretty cool. The Country Store is also the town's Visitor's Center. It boasts of the longest-running general store in California having been in continuous use since 1852. Wow, that's an amazing record. The store fits in perfectly in the quirky town of Volcano. The sweet lady behind the counter thanked us for stopping by. There was only one thing I was disappointed about... that we did not order food here (we had lunch at the St George Hotel). I heard that the owner serves one mean cheeseburger (grilled in wood burning stone oven). Can't wait to come back and try! Review #1905 read more

Although I have been to Volcano many times over many years, this was the first time stopped and ate at Sizemore but...it won't be the last! GREAT chili (so good we took our burgers home for dinner). Darned nice folks giving great service, and ambiance that you will LOVE (memorability from sports including boxing, rodeo and motor sports (three Harley's parked inside on display). Give this place a try if you are going by, don't be like Dave! read more

Cute little store with such a feeling of the pass... I loved the decor and the deli was very good. Customer service was outstanding and the beer was chilled to perfection. If you are in the town of Volcano this is a great place for a sandwich and a cold beer. read more

Do not recommend. Charged me $35 before tax. For two sides of potato salad and one chicken sandwich and one double cheeseburger. Insane I was told the sandwich's are $10-$12 each and sides are $3-$4 read more

If you come here I would have to say the burgers are legit! Super good & tasty. The store itself feels like a museum. It is filled with interesting nick-knacks it you take the time to look. The person providing service is super friendly & nice. The store is super rustic but so fun to check out and has a certain charm. Great little gem in Volcano! read more

The best burger in the state? Very possibly! We had heard the reviews and this place didn't disappoint!

Enjoyed a great lunch here!! The place is much bigger than it looks on the outside - lots of seating!! There's beer on tap and a wine bar too!! Food is great - I enjoyed a nice sandwich, my partner had a delicious chili dog!! The staff is super friendly and the place just gives you a good feeling!! I would not hesitate to eat here again - next time I'm having a hamburger!! read more

Great burger! One of the best if not best that I've had. Simple no frills just really good flavor and very juicy. Met friendly locals eating outside on the front porch. Owner and wait staff were friendly and helpful. read more

Hopefully I am writing a review for the right place but given there are only a few establishments in Volcano I think this is the place. My friend and I went to Volcano several years ago and wandered into the general store looking for something to eat. Now this is a historic Gold Rush building probably 150 years old which looked every bit it's age so it felt adventurous to order food. We ordered burgers which I believe were fire oven roasted and it turned out to be one of the tastiest burgers I've had! read more

This is such a cute store and little place to eat. I came here with family and brought my fiances children's as well!! I was really happy about them having puzzles, coloring books and things to do for kids while we waited for our food!! We all ordered our food which was basically homemade and it was delicious! They grill their meat in a stone oven!! The store was really neat !! Loved how quaint it is!!! read more

She does it right & is winning! If you have a chance to go~do it!~you won't be disappointed! read more

The Country Store in Volcano is a step back in time ... way back. We had fun browsing. A little hard to tell if some of the items were for sale or simply pieces of nostalgia. Debbie Dunn, the owner, was very friendly and made sure we had the map/guide to all the historical spots in Volcano. We only bought a couple of post cards. If we are ever in Volcano again, we may stop here for lunch which is offered on one side of the store. read more

Debbie is a sweetheart with energy of an Energizer Bunny. Burgers are good, sandwiches are good, and they have local beers on tap. You can have your food brought over to the cute park across the street if you'd like. Interesting historical over there too. Take a look at the flooring when you walk in to the right, the original floor is still in tact, a little worn and wavy. Very cool. The other side of the store (to the left) are goodies and nostalgia. Fun place to stop. read more

Linda makes a great milkshake! Old school style. Will come back for sure. Nice place and good vibes. read more

In town for a wedding and needing a bite to eat, my boyfriend and I were directed to the Country Store. We stepped into what looked to be a time capsule. It was definitely a "general store" at it's best. We ordered two burgers and made ourselves at home. They were cooked in an open oven which only added to the flavor! They were pretty damn good burgers! Too bad there were no fries though. read more

Great customer service we stopped in on our way to the Black Chasm Caverns and had a burger cooked flame grilled and soooo juicy!! We had two of the local Beers and we're treated like family! Such a great place stop in and support small businesses! read more

As you can see, people love this old timey place in historic Volcano, and the delightful, gregarious owner Debbie who is there Thursday through Sunday ( it's open 7 days a week ). Check out the Valentines event there on Friday if you can and be sure to stop by if you're passing through. It reeks with atmosphere and you can get a great burger. As the bakery next door is closed, she may be adding baked goods soon, and believe me if you get to meet her you'll be glad you did. read more

Super cool place in this neat little town. I had a charbroiled bacon cheeseburger which was one of the best I've had in a while. Charming service, good stuff, and a piano you can play while you wait for your lunch. I'd definitely recommend checking this place out if you're anywhere nearby. read more

Quaint oldest operating market in California. Small market for basic essentials plus a bar and small deli. Delicious made to order sandwiches and burgers. Beer on tap and wine by the glass. Very friendly and old fashioned. A very inexpensive place to stop and grab something to eat and a cold beer. Less than $20 for the two of us. Just about 20 minutes from Jackson. read more

If you want to get the opposite of what you want come here because the bitches fuck up every order no matter what. Want no pickles? Fuck you, pickles. Want bacon and avocado? Fuck you, no bacon and avocado. read more

We came here after a tour of the Black Chasm Caverns! It was such a cute store! We decided to stay for lunch and were not disappointed! The lady who was running to store was an absolute joy...friendly, happy and just so sweet! I ordered a cheeseburger, my husband ordered the Tri-Tip sandwich and the kids split a grilled cheese. Everything was absolutely delicious! We will definitely be back! read more

A lovely unique country store with the ambiance I enjoy, no bells and whistles just pure down home country comfort. Debbie the store owner is the sweetest person you could ever want to meet. She is great in helping you with directions on a multitude of topics, from what to see in the area, to where the best upscale restaurants are located. She makes a killer hamburger on an open grill and doesn't hold you up. She has a great selection of local wines and can give you a little history about all of them. I always enjoy stopping in when in the area and getting a bite to eat and chatting with Deb. read more

I regret that we didn't eat here, we just didn't have enough time, but we did buy supplies and get some fantastic advice from the delightful and kind Debbie. What a sweetheart. This place is wonderful and well worth a visit - all of Volcano is super cool, but this store is a standout. It's the oldest continuously running general store and market in California and possibly in the West. It's very cool and an amazing history lesson, really interesting to walk around. We will definitely be back. Debbie is so friendly and helpful - she told us about a good lake for fishing that only locals know about, and we'd never have found without her instructions. Nice to have such a lovely ambassador for the area running an important historical spot. read more

I'll confirm for 2010. We had a PGR Mission nearby yesterday. Seventeen of us went into the general store afterward for those fired-up burgers. Everyone was served by Sally in a timely manner, with the great flavor I'd experienced there previously. $395 for a cheeseburger in this corner of the world is a great bite, and it's one you'll come back for too. If you don't mind the twistie roads. read more

The Volcano Country store built in the 1800's is truly wonderful. The owner Sally is a good cook. I go there for the ambience, hamburgers, and chicken sandwiches. (Not necessarily in that order!) The prices are great. I know of no other place anywhere around here that could beat her prices. She cooks her burgers and chicken in a old stone oven. The store sells basic grocery items, e.g. milk, bread, etc. However, I go there for the food! This is a place you definitely don't want to miss if you are anywhere in the area, or taking a day trip!

This review is really for the entire town. If you are going to Daffodil Hill, you should stop at Volcano for a few minutes, visit this charming store, and marvel at an authentic gold rush town. It is a store on one side with a wall full of glass bottles, tins, and souvenirs, with the other side being a restaurant. There is a parking lot behind the hotel, park there and walk around. Most of the buildings are historic, and have markers/signs on them. We plan on going back. read more

This is my favorite place to get a bite to eat when I visit Volcano and I have eaten at every restaurant. I always get the steak sandwich and a beer. As noted in other reviews the food is cooked in a stone oven. There is nothing fancy here but the store really captures the feel of Volcano and you will feel welcome. Stop in and check it out. read more

We had a great burger, grilled chicken sandwich and draft beer for lunch. The ladies working there were wonderful! We enjoyed the Gold Rush building and Valentine's flower arrangement on the table. read more

We had the most beautiful and memorable day visiting Daffodil Hill and topping it off with a fab steak sandwich. Debbie the owner is SO nice! Shortly after we came in this lame person came in a ordered FOURTEEN sandwiches. Well, Debbie was working like a little jack rabbit making sandwiches and grilling our steaks for our sandwiches and other sit-down customers on this really cool stone grill right in the back of the little cafe. She was so apologetic. No worries, we didn't want to leave this historical and wonderful atmosphere anyways and were making conversations with other customers too. Well, it was well worth the wait! Our sandwiches were simply delicious and made on homemade French rolls to boot. We'll be back to visit this wonderful piece of California history AND Debbie at The Country Store. Oh, by the way, wine is only $2.50 a glass...what a steal! read more

My wife and I dropped by the Country Store and ordered the double cheese burgers. Fun, dark, old and strangly romantic setting to have a great burger and a beer. The burgers were cooked in an old fireplace, and they were really good. Not open for dinner. read more

So what a find! Debbie, in her incredible historical store, serves some delicious food! We were sightseeing in Volcano and discovered The General Store. Debbie greeted us with big hugs and then made us a fantastic lunch along with a truly old fashioned milkshake which was delicious. We can't recommend this little gem more highly! read more

Stopped by today on our way to Daffodil Hill. Ordered the steak sandwich and a side of coleslaw. Very good sandwich and tasty & crisp coleslaw. My friend also ordered the steak sand and was also pleased with it. Loved the atmosphere. Only one person working, I assume the owner. She was fast, efficient and took care of all customers in a timely manner, had a wonderful, fun attitude with a ready smile. The table next to ours had the double cheeseburger. Boy, did it look good too! Next time! read more

Cute little story, very old and filled with a lot of things. The dining area was cute and the woman who worked there was nice. The Bro and I both had the double cheeseburger which was very tasty. She makes them on a grill in a fire pit/ oven. The Plus One had a ham and cheese sandwich that he liked. The kid enjoyed his corn dog. The strawberry milkshake was just okay. Definitely had that fake strawberry taste to it but I guess kids would dig it. There's a variety of drinks, magazines and coloring books to keep you entertained while you wait. Dine in or across the street at the park. read more

Great experience good food prepared along with a pleasant historical conversation re the town of volcano highly recommend this short trip off of Rt 88 it is like taking a trip to the past one thing the town can improve is their access for disabled via walkers and wheel chairs I assume this was a law this is my reason for 4 stars versus 5 read more

Debbie is a very sweet caring individual who always gives her best no matter what she is trying to accomplish. Her store is very cozy stop for anyone visiting Volcano. She is also very supportive of local business, by trying to stock her store with locally made items. read more
