Scotts Crossing General Store — Local services in Athens

Went to get my trailer inspected. Was told someone would come right out in a few minutes. I waited for at least 20 minutes before I went in there but couldn't get anyones attention because they had some customers at the counter. At that time I saw the older man who does the inspections just standing behind the counter watching everyone. Not doing anything at all. I went back outside thinking maybe he had been told and was just hoping he would come out. He never did.(during this time my wife ordered nachos and had plenty of time to eat them in the truck. The nachos were just as trash as the customer service I received) After 40 minutes of me being there trying to be patient, I pulled from the side of the store over to in the front and went back inside where I was told they would let him know again. The guy finally comes out and waves me towards him. I pulled towards him and he yelled at me to turn around and that I was blocking everything. The way he yelled at me was very disrespectful. He could have just asked to turn around. His whole demeanor from just watching him walk outside looked like he didn't want to have to do the inspection. So I just drove off instead of getting my inspection. I will never spend any money at this store for anything and neither will any of my family....

Scott's Crossing is conveniently located on Hwy 31, running east to west between Athens and Tyler, just east of Murchison, TX. Scott's Crossing is, at it's heart, a feed store, primarily carrying Purina brand livestock feeds. The feed store side also stocks buckets, wormer, fly spray, and garden products, and much more. They also try to keep square bales of quality alfalfa and coastal hay on hand, year round. The front section of the business is a convenience store and deli grill. Popular with local farmers, as well as work crews, it's the perfect stop for refreshment. Add in a large gas station, suitable for trucks hauling trailers, and even a State Inspection station, and this is a great place for a pit stop. If ever they decide to add tire repair and oil changes, they would be truly full service. ...

Just moved to Brownsboro, TX last December 31. A fellow quail grower referred us to the feed store for the game bird feed we needed… also told us that the general store serves some mean grub. This trip I tried the Chicken Fried Steak Sandwich & Fries. WOW… loved both! I’m a CFS fan and try it wherever I roam. This was as good a CFS Sandwich as I’ve ever eaten! The pepper jack cheese, onion, lettuce, & tomato put it over the top! Fries were fantastic… don’t know if I’ve ever had better! I hear the shrimp and fish basket are delicious… wife & I will...
