Rockford General Store

We visited this General Store in November 2022. There were 4 of us. The young lady at the counter, was very warm and friendly. We were wowed, it's as if, you travel back in time. They have drinks and snacks from ones child hood. The sandwiches and fried pies are really good. The ❤ owner, made my wife an Apple Pie, which was not available that day!!! This business and many others, is in the wine country, off I-77 in N.C. The drive and scenery is nice, very worth your time. A lot of things to do in the region.

Loved the area and the Rockford General Store!!! It's a must to stop in for a sandwich or meal!! The cherry Sonker was fabulous!!! The owner is a hoot!! He'll tell you the whole history of the store and the area while you're waiting for your meal!! You can eat outside or in among the antiques!! Great "little" store to spend some time in!! People come from all over to get sandwiches to eat in or to go.... you have to stop in and try them!!!

This General Store is an absolute gem just a short drive from Winston Salem. You’re driving down this winding country road and suddenly you’re in this tiny town that you could very easily pass if you’re distracted. But a small cluster of historic buildings quickly tells you that you’re in another time, another place altogether.
We parked out front and walked in to dive right into the fantastic old timey candy store area before putting in our orders for Bologna and a cheese sandwiches. We grabbed a few bottles of Cheerwine and waited out front and chatted with some folks on the porch while our order was being prepared. After about ten minutes, our order came out and we dug in. What an absolutely fantastic sandwich! A thick slab of fried Bologna and a huge slab of cheese. We can’t wait to come back out and stay a while!

The building dates back to 1890 and is in the center of a somewhat restored historic village. I ordered the BLT. It was okay. The french fries were good! Seating is limited to one table.They have a nice bulk candy selection. The sonker (think cobbler) is the star. We had cherry sonker a la mode. Nice little stop.

In another time, Back off the beaten path a community still exists where time slows down. The river winds through the area racing the railroad tracks. It's silent and calm. It sounds untrue, but I can tell you.. It's real. We are fortunate to live very close and enjoy visiting every chance we can. Antiques, Candy, Creeking floors, The smell of yester year. Step back in time and while you're here... Have a Burger, or a Bologna Sammich', Maybe a slice of pie. So charming and the food is delicious. So worth a visit if you are coming through.
Historic and functional. A Prized spot for us locals and a treat for visitors.
Friendly Staff. Why you would think your Granny was going to turn the corner at any moment.
Am i biased? Yes I am and unapologetic about it. You don't get to experience this much these days and I am glad it's in our back yard.
Highly Recommended.
While your there, Take a stroll and read the many plaques and learn the history of Rockford.
