A true hidden gem. I got a perfect smoked meat sandwich here. The peanut butter chocolate chip cookies I got for my kids never made it home. They were so good I ate all 3 like an animal.
I've been looking for a little soup and sandwich place for a long time and I finally found it! A true little gem of a store! Made from scratch and the customer service is amazing!!
The best of the best! lots of groceries, homemade goods, large variety of candy nThe owners are two amazing guys and they have awesome staff! Very nice and genuine people!nDon't miss the chance to stop by and say Hi! Grab a coffee, a hand made sandwich or even a bowl of homemade soup, You'll be amazed what they have in store and you'll always be greeted with a smile
Very nice little store to stop by. Amazingly well preserved old fashion general store. They even make some take out food that are excellent.
85kms into a 150kms bike ride I was starting to bonk. My goal was to try and reach the Timmies in Monkland but I was fading fast. After crossing the bridge in Chysler, seeing the Old General store was like an Oasis in the desert. Time to refuel. The store was empty when I walked in except for a young shopkeeper and some old timer with a bushy white beard and dirty ball cap and thick glasses wearing overalls with two handfuls of wonderbread. He looked like a old time train conductor so I am not sure if he was a paid actor to make the store look more authentic or a legitimate customer. I never did see a train parked out front but this old man stared at me as if I was wearing a space suit. I assume this store doesn't see too many tourists in the off season.nnThe Old General Store obviously tries to recapture the spirit of our grandparents. With a colorful display of all the food staples you would expect from General Store, it was fun just to poke around and take pictures. I bet this place sells a ton of ice cream and milkshakes in the summer!nnThe store also sell pre-made or made to order sandwiches, soups, pastries, coffee etc. I went with a summer sausage sandwich just because it said summer ... since there was still snow on the ground on April 7, a homemade macaroni salad a coffee and a donut. All for about $9. The sandwich was okay but i did drown it in 5-7 packets of mustard to ward off cycling cramps.nnI am not sure why you might be travelling through Chysler Ont. But if you are in the area and considering the fact that there are very few authentic looking Country Stores left in Eastern Ont. Why not to stop in for a coffee or an ice cream or four loaves of Wonder Bread.
