This was the perfect lunch stop after quilt-shop hopping on a quiet Saturday. Real food made by the sweetest people in a quaint country store, downtown Augusta. This beautiful little river town is something straight out of a Rom-Com and this restaurant fit perfectly along the riverside, with its hand-dipped ice cream and sky-high meringue-covered pies and sweet, inviting staff. read more

We were in town for a fall festival and we stopped into the General SStore for lunch. This a real deal General Store from mismatched tables, the old plank floor to the old fashioned ice cream bar, this place is from the 1850s. The food is good and made to order, so it takes a little bit to get your food...things move at a little different pace here. I had the Southwest Burger. Crispy edges, with a great taste. For dessert, the blackberry cooler is amazing. Homemade, fresh and....well, amazing. If you're in Augusta, this is the place to eat. read more

Stopped in for the first time after crossing over on the ferry! I order cheeseburger deluxe and fried mushrooms. Wife ordered the Augusta melt with fries. Both were great. Served hot and quick. We got a slice Coconut Cream pie and blackberry cobbler with ice cream! The Coconut Cream Pie was honestly the best I have had in a very long time. Nice place and recommended for sure read more

Coconut cream was delicious Adorable variety of goods to purchase. Friendly staff! read more

They don't scream come in and eat but they should be saying or screaming "Get in here and eat or you will be sorry". Enjoyed their beef stew with more beef than veggies on top of thick curly noodles for lunch that was big enough to share. There was no sharing of pie slices and sadly they were out of strawberry rhubarb Luckily the custard was my 2nd choice. Pet peeve is when the pie board is not current, nothing is better than pie and theirs is excellent as are the cookies. Don't be sorry you missed this river side general store that locals refer to as their Cracker B (I can't type that word)...Come in and eat This is by far this place is out of their league sitting on the quaint KY side of the Ohio River near the random river tug boat ferry. You can ride on foot across and back for a buck each way. Go here!!! Eat pie and cookies for the road. read more

The staff was super nice and the place was crazy busy with there being a prom, a junk sale AND a cruise in all happening on the same day. The milk shakes that my hubby and I ordered were tasty. We will be back to eat, if we are back in the area with some time to kill. read more

Friendly staff, fast seating and great food! I got the ribeye sandwich and added fries. The steak was tender, toppings were fresh and the fries were crispy. Peanut butter pie was good too! Pulled pork sandwich was HUGE and hamburger was juicy & toppings just added to it! read more

Fun little place. Don't go in expecting quick service. It is a small and understaffed location. Food was tasty. Seems like a local staple. read more

This is an old school half antique store and half restaurant in middle of Augusta. They have country cooking on their menu ala Cracker Barrell. I tried out the Country Fried Steak, with some mashed potatoes, corn, and a dinner roll. The meat of it was juicy and delicious and their white gravy is on point. Great peppery flavour. The mashed potatoes were also good thanks to the same gravy. The corn was well corn. The dinner roll was on the small side but had great flavour (awesome with honey!) It took a good minute for them to prepare our food and waitress was on the indifferent side but the food did make up for it. A great touristy place to get some comfort food and shop afterwards. Good stuff. read more

Antiques selection downstairs isn't impressive. The two kids working the store seemed annoyed when we came in. One was upset that he had sports practice and used profanity. Not impressed read more

Yay. Tried goetta for the first time and love it. Bought two pies. We spent a lovely weekend in town, and frankly breakfast at the general store was Our favorite part of the trip! read more

Stopped in with my wife on Sunday around lunch time. The place was busy but we were able to secure a table quickly. Servers were friendly and helpful while working hard to take on the crowd. Receiving our order was a bit slow, and by noon they were already out of the ham and grilled pork chop specials which I thought a bit of a surprise. The roast beef I went with was tasty and tender, my green beans were fine, but the corn pudding was a bit soupy and on the cold side. The biscuit was excellent. Portions are large and pricing is on the low side. Our overall experience was good, and we will stop back next time in town. read more

I just love writing 5 star reviews. This is a cute little place to browse while walking around this adorable area. Lots of things to check out; didn't eat here but the food looked delish. Very americana. read more

We love the food. We were in on Aug 1. Waitress maybe the worst waitress I have ever experienced in my 46 years. She was rude, I had to get up twice and go ask her for a drink and an order that was place 45 minutes later. read more

Love this place. Great people and great food. Goetta, eggs, hash browns, and a biscuit are my favorite...

We waited over an hour for our food. It came out without my fries, my kids didn't even get their food. I couldn't finish my burger it made me nauseous. My husband said his food was average. 1000% do not recommend. Not to mention our server never came back to the table someone else dropped off what food we did get, and I had to go get the rest. read more

Let me tell you if your hungry and wanna eat within the next couple hours DONT COME HERE they made us wait a hour for food never got refills and only half the food came out half my wife's and mine but somehow our sons SPAGHETTI that's right SPAGHETTI WAS still cooking after a hour this place is a joke do not waste your time read more

If it's going to take an hour to get a hamburger, pancakes and a salad, then you shouldn't allow that many people in the restaurant. No excuse for passing out salad dressing that is green and smells. Funny, seemed like the locals were getting their food in short order, hmmmm? read more

Nice little hometown restaurant to sit & relax. Don't come starving because, they're may be a wait. However, come starving with a BIG appetite. LARGE SERVINGS!!! BONUS you never know who you may see there !!! SHHH! (Clooney) read more

Best Home cooked food in Augusta, Ky. If you want the little piece of Hallmark in your life check the General Store.

Good for breakfast! We sat outside with our dog. I had waffles with bacon, my husband had pancakes and my son had scrambled eggs with bacon. Everything was hot & fresh . Nice place to eat and enjoy the river scenery. read more

We stopped for a Sunday lunch and I ended up having the best turkey and dressing I have ever had! And it came with two sides as well for only $8.50. Turkey was juicy and flavorful. The bread dressing was not soggy and was seasoned perfectly. It's worth the drive from Cincinnati. I didn't even eat dinner when I got home. Sooooooo good! read more

While the food is ok, the time it takes to get it is horrible. Whether they are really busy or there is practically no one in the restaurant, you can expect to wait 45 minutes or longer to eat. read more

Good food, good drinks. Nice vintage goods store downstairs. Enjoyed the homely feel of this place.

This is a place you might want to start with dessert first! The pies are home made and delicious! The food is great, staff friendly and fun. It's a great spot to sit and visit while you enjoy some down home cooking! Fun shopping site as well .. don't miss it when you are in Augusta. read more

A beautiful day for a "Sunday drive" provided a great excuse to take the Anderson Ferry across the river into Kentucky and enjoy the scenic byway to Augusta. We arrived in Augusta at dinner time and scoped out the main street for casual eateries, choosing the General Store for it's old time, historic ambiance. Our server, Annie was warm and welcoming and very accommodating, helping us to build a terrific low carb meal from their menu of homestyle comfort foods. Noteworthy was the cod which was dusted with cornmeal and fried, and the considerable number of sides offered with meals. Choices included corn, green beans, brussel sprouts, mac n cheese, tossed salad and real mashed potatoes to name a few. Although the store, which is a real old time general store with numerous knick knack items for sale in the basement, was empty when we arrived, most of the 8 or so tables were soon occupied by families with young children. The food is good comfort food offered at reasonable prices. Breakfast is served all day. Pies, YUMMM, are homemade and they are open from 6am-8pm. read more
