What a lovely little road trip pit stop! The Davis General is a small storefront filled with big flavor. With a plethora of sandwich and breakfast offerings all made fresh and custom to order, we left feeling satisfied by our food, the service, and the pleasant atmosphere! I opted for a club sandwich. The bread was perfectly toasted and the veggies were fresh. The combination of warmth and fresh crunch was to die for! There are a ton of local goods available for purchase, lots of indoor and outdoor seating, and no shortage of beautiful views of rolling hill! read more

Every now and then you find a place that feels like magic. This is one of those places. I feel like I have stepped back in time to an era where people can truly relax and spend time talking. There is no rush. The food is absolutely amazing (get the Ruben...trust me on this), and the staff is truly special. I go back whenever I get the chance. Especially when I want to show visitors what life in Tennessee can be like. If you make it to this place, ask for Ken. Your day will be better for it. read more

Was there for lunch. The Reuben sandwich is on point! Casual eclectic country vibe. (You're basically sitting in the middle of a general store!) The food is made to order, and they will customize sandwiches to your specs. (You fill out a paper sheet) All good country fun and food! read more

What a great old time General store. Very friendly staff too!!! Had the grilled cheese sandwich, and it was the real deal. Better than home. Good sandwiches and they had Breakfast too!! Great prices and selection. If you want a real fun time like in the 60's small town, head over and give it a try. Great drive in the countryside just pass Leiper's Fork. Love it. We will be back read more

Always a favorite when guests visit us in Nashville. Delicious food and service and you can even fill up with gas!

I was on a historic tour of the battle of Franklin and was making my way up through Leipers Fork. I saw this place and wanted to stop. So my guide stopped. We go in and the place smells so good. Fresh deli sandwiches being made. People are ordering every kind of sandwich from breakfast sandwiches to deli sandwiches. I got a Rueben. You buy drinks from the fridge and pay for everything at the register. It's a real friendly vibe and a great country feel. The cook and workers were friendly and made good conversation. If I lived nearby I can picture myself making it a morning breakfast stop. If you are in the area and need some good food, definitely stop by! read more

A bit of a drive into nowhere south of Franklin - don't let that scare you off... Not the prettiest of buildings- don't let that scare you off... Appears to be complete redneck place- don't let that scare you off... Because they have amazing sandwiches. I had roast beef & cheddar on marbled rye while my wife had chicken salad and cheddar on white. Both were amazing with delicious, fresh bread lightly toasted and ample, high quality meat and cheese with very fresh produce. Staff was eclectic and very friendly - even gave up a secret place for a picnic. Take a nice country drive and treat yourself to what a sandwiches should aspire to be. read more

Holy crap..... There are pancakes, and then there is The Davis General. Absolutely ridiculous flavor and texture. I stopped as kind of a novelty to grab a glass bottle of RC Cola... Until a patron that was closing out his check said "have your tried the pancakes"? I wasn't prepared for what I was about to encounter. I ordered two orders of pancakes to go. I love about 10 minutes away, and didn't expect "pancakes" to travel very well for the short drive home..... I was completely mistaken. These things have so much flavor, they should be illegal 5 Stars and I will be back for sure!!! read more

Visiting this glorious place and stumbled upon Davis General store.. where the troopers get their meals and ordinary kind folks like the store owner MS LISA LENOX helped us out with Goat Soap. I love their deli with a top-notch slab of pastrami behind the case awaits it's next meal, I love how everyone dines here including the local Troopers and I love how a gentleman stuck his credit card out and offered to pay for the 4 or so Troopers meal.. This new owner has her priorities straight and everyone's on a first name basis.. HELLO LISA LENNOX -- I'm voting for you May 3rd for Our next COUNTY COMMISSIONER.. read more

Conveniently located to Leipers fork. Went to get a grilled cheese added a slice of tomato it was 9.50!!! I'm not a cheap ass but that's insane for this place. It's not gourmet and it's not big. When for $12 you can get a beautiful grilled cheese with Brie and apple and a side on insane fresh baked bread at 1892. So don't ever get a grilled cheese here. They charged me the same price as my husbands Ruben. (Loaded with meat) he loves this sandwich and gets one like every weekend! I skip Davis now unless he grabs me a root beer or chips. My cheese sandwich should not cost the same as his rueben. And if you order a cold sandwich with cheese tomato and lettuce it's also a rip off. (So go to the Leipers fork market and it's like $4) because your ARENT getting meat! Wild. My husband likes their hotdogs and they have Stewart's root beer and really good chips(i forget the beans) . But the 9.50 grilled cheese has me wondering how they declared that value and I stay in the car or home when he comes for the rueben lol read more

On my birthday last year I stopped here to grab a bite to eat and pick up some gifts for friends for back home it is the coolest general store I love it I recommend it highly five stars. The food was awesome the people were great the Cashiers were so nice and from someone come in from the state of New York we are not used to people being nice so it was a little uncomfortable at first- but it was a so warming southern welcome. When I move down within the next year I will be coming back to this place because they have everything everything!!!! I just want to thank y'all for Being awesome!! Peace love good health and prayers- Patti Mahaney Buffalo, NY read more

We were staying nearby at a friend's place and they suggested we stop by Davis General at least once for breakfast or lunch. After my first bite of breakfast, I knew we'd be coming back, which we did almost every morning of our trip. The store itself is a simple general store/gas station/cafe that's been in business since the early 1900's. You walk in, grab a paper menu card, jot down your order, and sit at a table until it's ready. If you catch the right timing of crowds you'll quickly get sucked into local chatter, weather, politics, gossip, etc. and the owners and employees alike were very friendly making sure to chat us up, and remembered us from the last visit once we started coming back. The food is fantastic. It's simple but absolutely delicious. They serve a solid short order breakfast, but my repeat order was the Toaster Sandwich on sourdough, with sausage, egg, cheese, and mayo. So good! Make a point to stop by for a bite, and you won't be disappointed. read more

Super nice folks making a great homemade style Sammich like you would otherwise have to make at home.

What a great little find. Gas station that survives as a great hand made sandwich shop. Very flexible. I had the turkey reuben. Also have gluten free bread. All handmade right in front of you on old fashioned grill read more

A little overrated. To be fair it never claimed to be an amazing restaurant. Took some out-of-town guest. thought it would be fun local visit. May have been a good representation of local experience, I was just a little disappointed. My friends wanted biscuits and they had said they had made a batch and they were gone now, so... It's a small place. The sandwiches were OK. I gave it three stars because again it might've just been my over expectations. I think I understand what it is but I guess I let the fanfare of it get to me. read more

A bummer of a follow up visit. I was salivating all morning for Lisa's Chicken Salad. Drove out to Davis all ready to enjoy my sandwich, I filled out the order form and handed it to the intimidating, non-smiling, annoyed looking pair of gentlemen behind the counter. Not a word was spoken. Feeling uncomfortable with the surliness I said "easy peasy," and smiled. The shaved head guy looked at me like a WWF character waiting to turnbuckle me while his hipsterish partner just stared at me blankly. I thought for a minute about the $9.00 chicken salad sandwich I had just ordered from the two guys who looked like they couldn't be more annoyed at my presence. They could've said "hello," or "thanks," or "you look like an asshole but we'll take your money anyway." But instead frick and frack just stared at me with all the contempt of an ex-spouse. I canceled my order and left. There are cheaper places with human staff and comparable food that actually acknowledge your efforts to give them your money. Oh well, Davis, it was nice while it lasted but I just can't give my money where it's not welcome. Shame the chicken salad was just not a little bit better to make me brave the nasty staff. read more

A little bit down the road from Leipers Fork is The Davis General. Almost out of the movies, with the kindest dog greeting you outside, the Davis General was worth the trip! You pick your sandwich from a half sheet list by checking the box beside it, which made ordering a breeze. I had the turkey melt, that literally could've melted in my mouth. It was delicious! Husband had the club and had to save half for later! But, the best part of all was the staff! I caught one name, Greg, but spoke to all three of the lovely people working. They showed kindness to all the newbies and the regulars alike. Kindness. That's all people are yearning for these days....... read more

We visited Davis General yesterday morning. The breakfast was great. The staff is so friendly and love the atmosphere. We will be back.

Just the best out of the way place! The nicest people serving great breakfast and lunch.

Love this little spot. Excellent food and old-school atmosphere. Will definitely bring out-of-town guests here.

Great food. I had a philly cheese, my companion had the reuben. Bread on the phiily was fresh, toasted. Meat was tender and properly sliced thin with plenty of cheese. I was told the reuben was one of the best he'd eaten (he's from Brooklyn and knows a good deli sandwich). read more

Excellent little place to eat breakfast. Don't let the old time look fool you. They know how food should be cooked and how to make people feel welcome.This is a must stop if your in the area. read more

So expensive for bad food. I asked for a philly cheese steak with no onions and then received a philly cheese steak with onions and without bread? With a drink, this came up to $24 with tip. I'm extremely disappointed to say the least. read more

Absolutely adore this sweet, little country store in Leiper's Fork. Nothing better than a beautiful, warm weather ride down gorgeous country roads that includes a stop at The Davis General for their delicious sandwiches. The Reuben and BLT are our favorites. Excellent balance of flavors and the BLT is loaded with perfectly cooked bacon. My only complaint, and it's small, would be just a little more meat on the Reuben. I'll ask how we can remedy this next time we stop in which will be very soon. read more

Davis General is a throwback to simpler and more relaxed times. It's a place where everyone knows everyone, and if they don't, the staff at Davis General treats you like they've known you for years. This quaint store in the Leipers Fork countryside literally has the best breakfast and lunch in all of Tennessee (LITERALLY)! Thank you Ms. Lisa for such a friendly down home atmosphere and amazing food! Davis General is the best! Todd C. read more

Love the Davis General! If you want Americana, this is the place. The memorabilia in the windows reminds you that America was built on faith, family, and the flag. You walk in and are transported back to a simpler time where local grocery stores with sandwich counters ruled the landscape instead of all-in-one centers and fast food joints. The food is incredible. Big, premium sandwiches beat anything you'll find elsewhere. Lisa and Greg are good people and run a lovely grocery/sandwich counter. Take the scenic drive south of Leiper's Fork and experience this gem firsthand. read more

Another wonderful visit to The Davis General Store! On one visit we had the best deli sandwiches that money can buy, made with top notch ingredients like boars head meat and cheese. On yesterday's visit we had Greg's famous French toast (my claim, not Greg's...but it should be!). Our favorite part is seeing the familiar faces of Greg, his wife Lisa, mom Beverley, sister Beverly, and of course the pup Lola! Take a beautiful drive on Leipers Creek Rd and stop by, you'll be happy you did! We will be back soon. read more
