Rocky Hill Country Store

Great deli and gift shop. Lots to see inside and the sandwiches are AWESOME!nTotally marking this place on my GPS so I can come here again!

Rocky Hill Country Store is a Gem of Americana; a Real Diamond in a Rhinestone World.nThat little wooden sign nailed on a pole gave this this hungry camper something to look forward to while taking the scenic route from Vermont to Connecticut. The store and the people that I met inside gave me a memory to look back on, and share.nFor the past six months, i've been trying to remember what was on the sandwich that I got that day.  I just figured out that I could search my locations on Google Maps, and that sandwich was the first thing I looked for.nI found the name of the store, sent a Facebook message, and was welcomed by the same genuine kindness that I experienced six months ago, in person.nWhen I saw that sign on the pole, that day,  I figured that if this place was still in business all the way out here, it must be good.   When I pulled up (with plenty of room for my truck and travel trailer) I thought that maybe it was a place where other businesses had gone to die in the past.  But NOT this one!nThe moment I stepped inside I was teleported back to my childhood.  Floors that have seen the soles of hard working boots for generations.  Shelves filled with wax coke bottle candy just waiting to get the colored syrup sucked out of them, the blue, yellow, and red suckers shaped like a rocket with a wax ring on the bottom so your colored slobber doesn't drip down to your hands while sharpening that point by rolling it accross your tongue, and the Violet Mints that taste like Mr Bubble Bubble Bath. (Who knew that the taste of bubble bath would be so refreshing as an adult? I remember swallowing plenty of it as I screamed when my mom rinsed my hair in the bathtub.  I was a brat!)  Maybe you can tell I was a chubby kid, too...lol!  There was just so much nostalgia that it overwhelmed my senses for over 40 minutes (according to Google maps) AND there was  everything that you need to whip up a dinner on the fly or to stock up for a winter storm.  They really thought of everything their community needed!nI was so jealous of the kids with dirt in the creases of their 'elbow pits' sharing a coke and kicking rocks outside the store as I left that day.nI really didn't see much of a town around, but plenty of people stopped in.  I hope that every person who passes by realizes that Rocky Hill Country Store is a piece of Americana on the side of the road that really must be preserved.  It is culture

We ordered subs and wraps for 25+ people w/delivery for a friends and family gathering we were having in Stephentown and they did an amazing job with the food.

Good spot to stop for something to eat and drink

Absolutely Amazing London broil Egg and Cheese... With a little taste of Boston...
