Saxapahaw General Store

One of my favorite restaurants is also a gas station. How about that?! If you've never visited this spot put it in your calendar right now. I had meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and steamed broccoli and every bite was magnificent. So many things made from local ingredients when they can and after your meal peruse around at the local butcher or even have a cocktail or coffee just around the corner.Don't be in a hurry because it can take quite a while to get your food but use that time to have a look around.

At the heart of one of the best places in NC lay a little general store with a lot of character. This venue boasts an eclectic blend of groceries, drinks, treats and scratch made dishes. You'll want to walk around the haw river trail, on property, after visiting the general store. Be sure that you set aside a good amount of time to enjoy this leisurely scroll. Often food can take about 20-40 mins to come out, but it's worth it and totally understandable as everything is made in house. Highly recommend this gem.

I guess it depends on how you take the name of the store as to how you would feel about it. When I hear the term "general store", I think of a large store with a wide variety of selections. Things that would range from food, to candy, to clothing, etc.... In this case of Saxapahaw General Store, it's just that. It's got a few general items. A very small selection. Sort of like a small food pantry. This business does offer a menu to order from. It also has indoor and outdoor seating options. We did not order anything. I'm sure it is very helpful to the locals but there's nothing here that would bring me back.

We had just enjoyed brunch at the Eddy Pub and wanted to explore the other establishments in the area. We knew they served meals from doing a bit of research but also knew their wait times tended to be long when extremely busy. As we approached the general store at about 11:30 am on a Sunday morning we could see the people sitting outside enjoying their breakfast and coffee. In addition to a few tables under the covered sidewalk area they also have a nice outdoor space which allows for larger tables. We proceeded inside and immediately walked into a bustling general store and deli. Customers were busy placing their orders at the counter and the staff looked like they were running at full speed. We began to walk through the store and we're impressed with the amount of products offered from craft beer and wine to many local products as well. We purchased a few items and the line moved quickly. We will absolutely stop in the next time we are in the area.

Unique menu of organic, loccaly raised food items. Coffee was awesome bold and full bodied. The staff were spectacular and friendly!

Ill start with that we went for breakfast and its a maybe on if Id go back for breakfast. The store looks great and I will definitely go back for that and maybe to try lunch or dinner. My eggs and bacon were good but the home fries and sausage was burnt and didnt taste great. My wife got a breakfast sandwich. Do not expect to get traditional southern biscuit if thats what you order. It is more like a type of toasted bread thats buttery so manage your expectations there. Coffee was pretty good but the breakfast sandwich my wife didnt like at all. So some of it was good some of it was bad. Really probably a 3.5 star and a maybe if id go back for breakfast.

Yes, it's a general store. Yes, it's a restaurant. Yes, it's a gas station. Locally sourced ingredients and a true community hub. Want a menu mod? No problem. Nouveau southern style.

Looking for a hidden gem in Alamance County well the Saxapahaw General Store is the place to go! Picture Fine Dining in your local country store. Meals like the White Wine & Butter Braised Chicken, Duck Confit and The Vladimir (Duck Fat Infused Emu Burger) offer one of the most unique and intriguing menus in the area. Not into stepping out of the box well dive into some of their traditional offerings of burgers, pizzas, salads, breakfast & brunch items!...The general store also offers grocery store items with a Craft Beer Selection that will rival any taproom or bottleshop. Lots of local products and a menu full of meat and produce procured from local farms & agriculture will have you coming back time & time again. The service is always amazing, and you're greeted with a welcoming smile and warm embrace every visit. I love the small town country feel, indoor, and outdoor patio seating to have a nice sit down meal with friends or family!

Call your order in ahead!!!!Or you'll have a long wait. Food is excellent. Always crowded on weekends. Nearby you can enjoy a butchers market or full service bar.

Service was great and great menu choices. We drove out to try something new, the three star rating is because when we got our food it was all cold and no one likes cold eggs. We didn't mind the 25 minute wait for food since it's all made to order but all cold food was disappointing.
