STRIPLING'S GENERAL STORE

"Heather in the meat dept always provides excellent customer service. She is always professional and happy to help customers. When the other female employee working in the meat dept who is younger and has reddish hair was rude to me and acted like I was a bother when I asked to order a meat box, Heather immediately came over and was happy to help me. The customer service at the front checkout was excellent. The meat dept has a huge selection of in house cut, quality meat. There are four meat boxes to choose from that have a great variety of bulk quantities of meat. There is also a nice variety of quality seafood to choose from. For lunch there is a hot bar with several flavors of wings, sausage dogs, chicken strips, buffalo chicken dip, and chili cheese dip. They also have fresh made brunswick stew, vegetable soup, and chili and a salad bar. There is also a variety of sandwiches including brisket, hamburgers, cheeseburgers, and BBQ. Their store also has gifts, beer and wine, deli foods, snacks, desserts, produce, groceries and a frozen food section. I highly recommend visiting this store for lunch or grocery shopping."

"A friend in Atlanta told us to stop here for their smoked chicken and their fresh sausage. A Surprisingly great place to make a stop. It's basically a large convenience store or small grocery store with a full fresh meat counter in the back and already cooked smoked chicken and pork ready to buy up front. The first time we stopped there the chicken was amazing. A strong but good smoke flavor and the chicken was tender and moist. When we stopped on the way back we got chicken again and extra to bring home and put in the freezer. But this time the chicken was pretty dry which was disappointing. I tried the smoked pork chops and they were very dry. Won't get those again. They also had a lot of fun not touristy gift items which were perfect since we found some things for Christmas that we hadn't seen anywhere else. When we checked online we found out their prices were amazingly good for the items that we got. There are two Striplings traveling south on 75 from Atlanta. So if you want to stop someplace different and buy an inexpensive but tasty lunch or dinner that is a good place to stop. We just stop a third time on a different trip than the chicken with perfect again. Unfortunately there is no seating area"

"A must see when traveling I-75. Clean, safe, well lit, fuel, food and friendly help. Stock up on supplies or load up on some of the excellent food from the hot bar. Full service butcher shop. Every time I stop, I pick. Up a bag of the B&B Lump Charcoal. Hard to find in my neighborhood. Support local. Can’t recommend enough."

"Really liked the feel of the store. The employees were nice and very helpful. I love the fresh meats at the meat counter in the back. They even had a whole hog! Wilbur was just to neat laying there waiting on somebody to buy him so he could bring happiness into their homes and bellies! They have so many great choices of foods to pick from for travelers and for local hometown folks. They have fresh fruit for a great price! Same size containers cheaper than Publix! We will definitely be back!"
