I visited Jim's County Store as part of my effort to get a hot dog in every county and incorporated…read morecity in Virginia. Jim's was my Clarke County stop. It was a misty and foggy day as we drove through the back roads to get to Jim's. We arrived late in the afternoon, a strange meal time. The right side of the store is predominantly a deli case and the kitchen. The menu is on the wall above the case. It was unclear at first how/where to order. Staff were there and moving around but no one really engaged with us even though we were clearly confused. Eventually the woman at the cash register asked what we needed. She said we order at the register, so there ya go! We got hot dogs, fries to share, and macaroni salad. The hot dogs were...fine. I had their chili on my hot dog and it was kind of odd. Pretty dry with a flavor that I didn't love. And it had beans...womp womp. The cheese sauce on all the dogs was really hot as were the fries. Straight out of the fryer...which was great. But totally unseasoned. Not great. The server who brought the food out was very friendly. Overall, it was just ok. I'll say it was a really well-stocked convenience store so a bonus half star for that.

This is a funny part of the world, this Bluemont. It's like a human estuary, where the (you choose…read morewhich 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.

I was fortunate that the owner was trying to get rid of some summer beer that was not moving and got it for a few dollars off. It is a delicious Citrus Sunrise made by Founders. It is refreshing and really is perfect after working outside. Sorry for no photos, I had to eat and run.

We used to come here a lot and always ordered food that was fresh and tasted so good. Since the…read morepandemic, us moving, etc., we haven't been there as often. 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.

It's a good place to stop for gas or supplies if you are headed down to Bryce Resort. I pulled into gas the car up. They don't allow you to pay at the pump - you have to actually first go inside, get authorized, then gas up. You can pay for gas here with a credit card. The convenience store portion of the operation sells a wide variety of canned goods, bottled water, soda, toiletries, and more. You can also get hot coffee and tea to go. Finally, there is a Deli counter where you can order sandwiches, burgers, breakfast foods and such. You can also pick up fishing and hunting licenses here. However, there does not appear to be a public restroom. I asked after gassing up - and the lady at the counter told there was not a public restroom.

It was ginormous, huge, massive... holy sh#t this is a lot of sandwich. Bun was fresh, meat was fresh sliced there and of good quality. Price was pretty fair - I paid less than 10 bucks for an absurdly large sandwich and an iced tea. Over the week my classmates had the burgers (they assessed to be average) and pizza (also assessed to be average sub shop pizza) and other goodies which they were all generally pleased with. I wish I'd tried the pulled pork sandwich... several people had them today and they looked/smelled yummy. I imagine with BSR's lunch rush, this place gets BUSY if you have not ordered ahead.
