    Chicken salad sandwich
    Katie A.

    Friendly staff, quick service and good sandwiches. What's not to like? You can sit in the shade on the porch and eat. Ps - the chicken salad sandwich has apples in it. I love it, but BF does not.

    This is a quaint little general store right in the middle of the small town of Bluemont, Virginia. We stopped by the electric car charging station in Bluemont before driving up the hill to Dirt Farm Brewery. We decided to stop into the general store for an ice cream while we waited for the car to charge. The clerk was very friendly and the ice cream was delicious. We also browsed their selection of local honey and jams while we waited. We chatted with a couple of friendly locals who were out enjoying the nice weather. If you're in the area, stop by and visit!

    Chickens in boxes marked "eggs."  So confusing.

    This is a funny part of the world, this Bluemont. It's like a human estuary, where the (you choose which should be which) saltwater people meet the freshwater people, where Civil War history mixes with DC commuters, where the old hands meet the new. To me, it seems as if the culture to the east is having its way with the culture that displaced the native Americans and even though this seems somehow fitting at the same time those living here now are the descendants of the robbers and not the robbers themselves and maybe it isn't so fantastic to have a Prius in every other garage after all but what do I know I'm not from these parts and even though I lived for a spell in Appalachia perhaps this is really none of my business. So please take this preamble with a grain of salt. Take what follows more seriously. This is a very cool General Store. It isn't Clem's store and it has staples that appeal more to the freshwater people than the saltwater people (or vice versa depending on the assignment you selected earlier). But so what that's the way it is. The store and Lani the gracious proprietress and her lovely staff and pulled pork sammich they made from good meat they raised I think and smoked themselves saved my life the day after 20 miles on the AT with no supper followed by a morning with no breakfast or water until like an hour after we started walking all thanks to the most insane thunderstorm I've been caught in for a long time and the flammable aspect of tents and that sucked because we were going to have couscous. We had stashed a two-day ration of food at the post office down the street, about a mile from where the AT crosses the main road. I had spied the store the day we dropped the food and thought hmm that place looks pretty cute I better be feeling hella good when we get this cache because if for some reason I'm not the siren song may play and instead of the last leg on the Trail I could find myself on that picnic table under the shade tree eating bbq and sipping on the sweet root beer. Self-control has historically not been my strongest suit. I was not feeling hella good when we arrived in Bluemont. The 55 miles had taken their toll. That no supper no breakfast thing sapped my will. The bbq was the last nail in the pine box into which my desire to slog on had slipped maybe for a short nap but go ahead and fasten that lid I don't really care at this point. We set for a long spell. One of Lani's associates was so sweet to drive us back to Harper's Ferry and the car and we headed back a day early which was all good because the rest of the family was there and we have really only so many days and it's nice to be home too. If you're hiking the AT, biking the byways, doing a little historic tour of the robber's plunder, even if you're driving your Pious to a government job in Foggy Bottom and need a little egg sammy and the coffee to keep you company on the way - the Bluemont General Store I daresay is the place for you. Truth. Thanks Lani. You and your peeps made my day.

    Two and a half stars. Stopped by for light refreshments and pain relief between the hiking incident and farm trip. Life this far from the real world marches to a pretty different standard. Realistically this bare essentials store is probably hot shizz for the locals, but I'm quite aware I've been spoiled by decades of chain grocery store inventories. Kudos for neat business cards etched into doubled balsa wood, and the limited patio and picnic table seating. The sweet green bean crisps appeared on their shelves early summer, with a small sampling tray by the register to entice the uninitiated. Different sized goody packages to please any basic moderation level a glutton cares to choose. Rock candy, pickle flavored Pringles, tasty treats left and right. Glass bottle sodas taste like sweet throwbacks with a twist: vanilla cream soda, orange cream soda, cherry cola, even root beer. No ibuprofen but I claimed the lonely box of Bayer. Their eggs were a hot commodity, and gallon buckets of local ice cream. Parking is limited to the few spots beside and the two parallel parking allowances just before the intersection across the street. Thank goodness they take credit cards.

    Old old old country style general store. We tried the fried pie made by the Amish girls....so good.

    This is a nice little place to stop if you're out on Snickersville Turnpike or even Rt 7 (although it is a mile or so off Rt 7). It is an old-school general store, with everything from coffee to fresh cookies to soda to home-made sandwiches. The cookies were good, the egg salad sandwich was quite good, and the cinnamon bread was absolutely delicious. All in all a nice place to stop for a quick break if you're in the area.

    The ice cream is always fantastic and has a decent price for the portion. Way better than Grutos. Have been coming here for 10+ years.

I stopped in after visiting a couple of wineries to snag some cold bottled water.

Recently, I started a new job so I figured I'd swing by this place again. However, it's not a place I will continue to go to since it seems like total chaos now. Apparently there's new management and there's no sense of communication or a sense of urgency with any of the workers. They almost seem to be in full-on agony just being there. There's hardly ever any food to pick from the hot bar and what's there is overcooked and dried up. Last week, I called in and order to be picked up. I get there and there's no one in the kitchen fixing anything. The cook/manager shows up and says she had a meeting and too many people were asking questions so she forgot to make my food. After getting it, I go to pay and get an outrageous price. When I explained I had a simple combo, it took them all ten minutes to figure out what to charge me. By the time I got to pay and get out of the store, I literally had 3 minutes to try and eat my sandwich, which was thrown together like slop, and my potato wedges that looked as if they were a week old. It's a shame that a business that was really good has now joined the ranks of sloppy and lazy.
