Fred's Famous Peanuts — Attraction in Cornelia

We stopped in here on a recent visit to Helen after driving by. This is a quaint old fashioned looking stand that sells a variety of peanuts, snacks, jams and jellies. It’s not very large but there is quite a lot packed in the space they have. The entrance way was staffed with a nice lady who greeted people as they walked up. She was also serving samples of their boiled peanuts and some other items. We ended up buying a scoop of boiled peanuts (good but a bit under-seasoned, I solved this at home by soaking in a brine for a few hours), fried peanuts (never had these before and they were very good, with some type of seasoning on them as well) and some Muscadine jelly (haven’t tried it yet). It was a very fun stop and definitely worth a visit if you’re in...

If you’re a peanut lover, Fred’s Famous Peanuts is a must-try! Their peanuts are incredibly fresh, flavorful, and roasted to perfection. You can really taste the quality and care that goes into every batch. Whether it's the classic salted, Cajun-spiced, or boiled peanuts, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

The customer service is top-notch—friendly, helpful, and always ready to recommend their best sellers. The packaging is also great, keeping the peanuts fresh and perfect for gifting or snacking on the go.

It’s rare to find a local business that combines tradition, flavor, and great service so well. Fred’s has definitely earned its “famous” title. I’ll absolutely be coming...

Pretty sure I've reviewed this place. Neat tiny country store beside the road between Helen and Unicoi State Park. Principle attraction, as the name suggests, is the many assorted ways to get peanuts, but they offer so much more---much more than you can expect from such a tiny shop! But I guess the best part is the family that owns the place. They love you and welcome you right in like you are long-lost family members! This is one place I stop in at during any visit to the area. Got there too late first time by last trip up there so I made it a point to drive back over the next day and say hello. They seemed awful pleased to see us! Really added to our vacation...
