The Little Country Store — Local services in Luray

Nestled along Rt 231 between Madison and Sperryville, within minutes of Old Rag Mountain, this family owned business is the absolute best place to get a good sandwich from the grill, homemade bbq and slaw made right there, Hershey's ice cream, most anything you're looking for to eat, they will make it. We found the family to be super friendly and smiling, down to earth natives of the area. They do not 'deep fry' anything there, so no greasy food. Lots of locals often gather there, especially the farmers, and they enjoy standing outside to have their morning coffee and breakfast, you can hear some good stories and local lore from those men. ... one day, we happened to be in the store as the power went out from a small snow storm... where most stores would close up, the owner, Don, said he would not let people go hungry, and he began writing down what customers purchased and taped the tickets to his cash register, he even did that with the tourists and people he didn't know! Since the power was out, the card machine and cash register would not operate... he just told customers they can come back and pay him sometime... and do you know we went there a few weeks later and asked him how many of those people actually came back and paid him... and he said, "every one of them came back and paid me, even the tourists and folks from out of town".... wow, just wow ... a nice little country store with a good Christian family...

The woman did not ask what toppings I wanted so I assumed it would come with everything. When she handed it to me I asked for ketchup and mayo and she looked at me like it was a hassle. I got to my car and opened the sandwich. It was not edible. The meat was awful looking, bread was soggy and the cheese wasn’t even melted. My husband proceeded to inform me that the lady cooking was not wearing any gloves to cook the food and was handling different meats and also had a Bandaid on her finger. Definitely will not be going back. The lady at the register was not friendly at all as you would think someone at a small country store should be. Super...

Stopped here before and after hiking White Oak Canon Trail in Shenandoah N.P. The general store is well stocked with food and other useful items. It also has a deli, where I enjoyed a freshly cooked cheeseburger with fresh lettuce. The bathroom was clean. And the store's friendly cat joined me on the front bench outside while I...
