Charred Oak offers a wide selection of quality beer, wine, and liquor, the latter for especially when you don't want to drive over to the ABC Store from the area, or for when it's a pesky Sunday. The store didn't have a particular brand of wine that was the object of a hunt, but the guy suggested Publix, and he was right on. The liquor prices are higher than what you'd find at the ABC Store, but you can leave knowing you've supported a local business which is always a warm feeling. And he's cool with folks just browsing!

If you are not from around here, here's how the liquor sales work in Alabama. The ABC stores are state run. Anyone else who sells hard liquor must buy it from them. The drawback is that they have limited hours, and are closed on Sundays. You will find other stores that sell hard liquor at later hours and on Sundays: these stores must buy from the ABC stores and resell, and thus will sell at higher prices to make a profit. The staff here i very friendly and competent. They have a great selection and decent prices Key words: liquor store, package store, hard liquor, rum, bourbon, tequila

It looks really shady. Even though they have authentic Asian items, lots of things here have…read moreexpired years ago and have not been thrown out. Frozen foods are kept in actual refrigerators with the lights off. I opened some of them to find dumplings stacked together and it looked like the backdoor to a storage facility. The aisles are unkept and looked like they haven't been touched in ages. Some of the packets of seasoning I picked up already had holes in it and so I ending up spilling stuff everywhere. Good thing the cashier was on the phone the entire time ignoring me. The store looked like people delivered a bunch of Asian goods and forgot it was actually supposed to go somewhere so there's cardboard boxes blocking aisles and your walkway. You even feel sorry for your shoes because the floor felt strangely dusty. If you're craving Asian products, I'd drive to Columbus or Atlanta to get it. I'm not sure how this place has evaded a food inspection for this long. I understand Asian grocery stores have this 'unkept' feeling to them that I'm accustomed to but this was hilarious. It just seemed like someone tried to set up a grocery store long ago and decided they were going to take a break for the next couple years.

For a random little mini mart that's attached to a gas station (76) it doesn't get much better than…read morethis. Right out of the gate let's make one thing very clear...you've heard of a dive when referencing a bar or restaurant, well this is the convenience store equivalent of that. More stuff than what you'll find at a normal convenience store, but nothing like what you'll find at like a Walmart or places like that. They do have some staples, I'm guessing because they are in the middle of nowhere and then a few miles beyond ... so they make it so the folks that are in the area don't have to drive forever (plus a little more) to get to a n actual grocery store. Now, where they excel is in oddities. The one that stood out to me - Peach Mango Angry Orchard .... until seeing it here, didn't even know it existed. Just one example of the different stuff you'll find here. Oh, did I say they also have a full service food area - kind of like a publix - fried chicken and all the fixin's. If you're in the area stop off and check these guys our, well worth the visit.
