Dickenson's General Store

All I can say is DONUTS!!! Warm, fresh, tantalizing to your mouth. A little slice of heaven. They have other treats and foods.... but the donuts.....mmmmm you gotta get them. Be

Store is great if you like paying a ton for anything you need. And don't get me started on the Storage. I was told by the folks answering the phone that I could move out of my storage on the 13th of the month and still receive my deposit. Then the Owner said I have to forgo the entire $150 deposit since I moved out after the 10th. DO NOT store your items here.

The service and staff was super helpful and friendly! Especially since we arrived just as the deli counter was about to close. Our server (I wish I had gotten her name) took great care to make sure my family had a yummy hit dinner after our super super long day. The bbq, cream corn, slaw and service was awesome!!

We wandered in looking for restrooms and scoping out possible subs for dinner. The staff greeted us warmly and offered to answer our questions. The gentleman at the deli counter was so sweet and respectful, we couldn't resist and ordered sandwiches - the club and ham/cheese melt. Both were superb! The only downer was the out-of-service restrooms, but they were very quick to direct us the nearest restrooms. Good service, good people, good food! We will be back.

We stopped by for a quick bite of chicken strips and wedges. They were ok but not great. It was a nice stop on the way to Lake Anna.

As you're driving down 522 trying to avoid 95, just as your bladder is about to EXPLODE because there isn't another restroom until you get to Mineral Ave, and you haven't seen one for quite a while, you reach Dickenson's. Dickenson's is clean, spacious yet cozy, and very welcoming. It feels as though you've just walked into your grandmother's house--the smell immediately makes you feel at home, and the warm, comforting decor lets you know that you're in the right place. The warm, sincere "how ya doin' darlin'?"s don't hurt much either.So I know you have to use the bathroom, but take your time, speed racer. There's actually some great, down-home food at the little take-out restaurant in the middle of the store. Let me say first that I never eat fried chicken and rarely eat any other fried meats besides fish. Just the same, I was starving, so I took the chance on what I thought was a baked pork tenderloin sandwich. It turned out to be fried, but boy was it good!! The meat was super flavorful and tender. The breading had just the right crunch. Unfortunately, because I was sick, I had to take of the batter because I couldn't stomach fried food, and I found out that that's where most of the flavor was. The batter was flavorful, spicy, and deeelish! The bread was also that perfect fluffy sandwich roll, mmmm, mmm, mmmm! In short, I would totally vouch for even the fried chicken there, even though I don't like fried chicken myself. Stop in and you're sure to get a flavorful, affordable meal on the go.There are also plenty of drinks and snacks to choose from, including some homemade peanut brittle. Also, the bathroom is nice and clean too. Pop in for a quick bite, and you won't regret it! Besides, it's a gas station too, so you may as well stop and get your gas here. It'll be quite a while before you see another one, lol.

This store closed their public restroom months ago because they don't want to clean it and are too cheap to even furnish a porta-Jon. They are happy to take your money for beer, food and gas though.

Avg at best food, store is infested with flies and bathroom only working half the time. Would recommend skipping it in "normal" times, but especially during COVID because employees aren't wearing masks even when making food.

This store has a unique variety of craft beer, cider and wine. They also have fresh food and great service.
