We stayed at Austin's Chuckwagon Motel for a night while exploring Capitol Reef in one of the retro-Queen rooms above the store. This is a room that isn't advertised in 3rd party sites and has to be booked on the property website only - it's something like 50% cheaper than the rooms in the hotel. The room comes with unlimited tea, coffee, and hot chocolate from the General Store/Cafe. We were a bit confused with how it worked since other customers have to pay for drinks, but the clerk assured us we could go whenever to get drinks (which we did multiple times!) While we checked in too late in the day to eat at the deli and left too early in the morning for Chuckwagon's famous lunch boxes, we did hit it up in the morning for breakfast pastries, which according to the cashier are all baked in house (and why we were attracted to them in the first place). We were having trouble deciding between the Kouign Amann and the Chocolate Croissant, eventually deciding on the former, but the cashier tossed us the latter for free! What great service! Chocolate Croissant (Complementary, normally $6) - This is a gorgeous looking croissant, golden brown with a drizzle of sweet chocolate on top, still soft and gooey thanks to being fresh from the oven. It's baked hard, so croissant shards fly everywhere while eating. I'd say it's baked a tad too long, so while extremely flaky, the interior isn't quite as chewy as I'd like. The lamination does look quite good from what I can tell after having some difficulty slicing through with a plastic knife. As is traditional, two chocolate batons are baked inside. (5/5) Kouign Amann w/ Cream ($6) - Again, this pastry has a really hard bake, so almost the entire thing shatters easily, except for the stellar caramelized sugar layer covering the bottom. It's hardened, sticky, and sweet with a great crunch factor. The interior is actually correct for a Kouign Amann, which is really surprising for a small-town bakery. It's not laminated nearly as much as the croissant, and instead seems to be a nice enriched brioche interior, albeit not particularly airy and soft in texture due to the bake. There's a really tangy and somewhat sweet cream cheese frosting that's piped into the center. I'd actually prefer the pastry without this extra flourish, but beggars can't be choosers! (5/5) Both pastries are more of a 4.5/5 due to the bake, but the ingredients and technique (other than bake) seem to be well thought out. We were not expecting much from these baked goods given that the Chuckwagon Deli isn't exactly a specialty bakery, but in the end we were extremely surprised by the quality. I'll definitely be revisiting if I'm ever in town again. read more

While they don't have everything that you would need, they are the only place for about 30 minutes and they do have quite a bit. The stuff is reasonably priced. They are really close to the National park as well, which is nice. The staff is also friendly, and it sells souvenirs for Capital Reef. I would recommend it for sure to anyone that needs groceries in this area. read more

Well stocked store. Food in the Bakery-Deli is delicious. Be sure to try the blue cheese potato salad! Hubs had a blt and I had chicken salad. Yummy, fresh, traditional. Service was warm and friendly. Good selection of fresh fruit and veggies, pricey but it's a small town market. read more

Good spot for your grocery's in Torrey - and I think the only spot. The deli in the back is awesome after a morning hike as well!

Just like Laura stated in her review, the checker was so incredibly rude. It was as if we were inconveniencing them. This person said to my husband "I don't care what you do", after B asked if he should put our basket by the door to be helpful. The store had many good provisions, but after the rudeness we will find a different store to buy groceries. read more

The employee was incredibly unfriendly and rude. We are tourists and were walking around the store looking at everything. When he asked if we needed anything it was not in a genuinely helpful way, more like he was annoyed we were there. A couple minutes later my husband was by the beer cooler and asked him if any of the beer was local. The employee said "yeah" and kept walking!!! At this point I felt like we must be being pranked, he was so awful! When we checked out and thanked him, said have a nice day etc HE LITERALLY DIDNT SAY A WORD. What a miserable little man. read more

Each time we come to Torrey, we always make it a point to stop in to grab a sandwich for lunch. Everything here is fantastic! The service is always terrific as well! read more

Rude, rude, rude. Gosh, I thought employees were there to serve the customer, apparently it's the other way around in this store. Looked like a cute little store but couldn't get past the rude employee...middle aged male employee...snatched the cc out of my husband's hand and didn't even bother to offer a receipt. Definitely would NOT go back or recommend. read more

We picked up sandwiches in the morning before going into capitol reef as food options are limited in the park. Three of us with different choices and all were delicious. Service was quick and prices reasonable. Highly recommend!! read more

As part of a caravan, we left Moab and arrived in Torrey sightseeing along the way. Torrey is a quaint tiny town outside Canyonlands National Park... and tonight is my turn make dinner. Thank goodness there are groceries here! Raw meats include chicken thighs, drumsticks, ground beef, some steaks... wish I thought of taking a pic to post here. Boneless skinless chicken thighs prepackaged and frozen, 1.25 pounds, $4.95. To feed 15 people I bought six packs of them. For a country store, a reasonable but small selection of fresh produce including most of the basics. And if you need any small supplies for your RV, pantry items, paper products, souvenirs, it's all here. read more

Ordered a lunch box. No meat, no cheese and dry bread. Of course we were on a trip and no chance to go back. Only lettuce, tomato and mayo. The orange was all dried up and hard. The bagged chips & cookie were good. read more

This is a very small general store with limited selection. Their produce was all past it's prime. They boast of having a bakery with homemade goods, but all of their bread was full of high fructose corn syrup. All of this would be forgivable, however, if they had better service. I bought a loaf of their bread, among a few other items. The cashier bagged it with my other items, and on the walk to my car, which was parked directly in front of the store, the loaf got completely smashed. I went back in and asked to exchange it, but the cashier refused, and was utterly unsympathetic in the process. Her rationale was that it couldn't be sold again, and the store would loose money. While those are probably true, I also lost money buying a loaf of bread that was too smashed to make a sandwich. It would have been nice for the store to take responsibility, since they had bagged the bread. If I had bagged it, or stepped on it, or otherwise been responsible for smashing it, then I could understand the response. In short, do your shopping before you get to town. I love supporting small local businesses, even when it means dealing with limitations. It doesn't feel good to shop at a local businesses that treats their customers poorly. read more

Cute place to pull in and stop after leaving Capitol Reef NP. Very clean gift shop and deli with good food!! They even have a little grocery/produce section to restock on fresh road trip items. Bathrooms inside are for paying customers only, but also very clean. Portable toilets available outback as well. read more

Chuck Wagon General - Fresh made Italian sandwich perfectly wrapped up and packaged to-go. - Grocery Near Me - Torrey, Utah

This is a delightful spot to grab some homemade deli food, pie and the like. We took a chance on the potato salad and it was fresh & scrumptious. It was unusual for us in that it included pickles and sour cream but it was a nice change. We took a gamble and won with the coconut cream pie as it was delicious as well. Note that there are many other fresh bakery items that appeared tantalizing. This is a great place to grab breakfast and a sandwich before heading out for the day to explore the park. There is a small area to eat in there and a general store where you can find premade commercially made frozen meals, etc. as well as souvenirs. read more

Deli sandwiches are basic and substandard. Better to visit Subway down the street. I know... Store products are expansive yet super expensive. Jerky $20, at the gas station $16.99. Everything follows as such. Hotel is posted as pet friendly but it's not. They will not ask if you have a pet and then illegally charge you $50 days later. Laundry is allowed to the general public but dirty, dirt filled washing machines are ever present for everyone passing through that have no care or respect. Showers are low water pressure and $13 per 10 min. Pass. Super busy, has everything you probably need, just choose discretely. read more

This review is primarily for the cafe inside the general store. Really cute cafe with great breakfast and lunch options. You can get a nice sandwich lunch to go with added fruit, water, large cookie and chips. Very fresh sandwiches that you can order even the evening before. The breakfast is also good and the seating area modern big cute. We came here for three of our meals. read more

This place is exactly as expected and does it very well. It is a barebones lunch counter in the back of a convenience store. We had breakfast there. I had great "stick to your ribs" biscuits and gravy and an egg over easy. BF decided to get fancy with danishes. Yea...mistake. Stick to simple diner fare and you won't be disappointed. read more

This was one of the only stores open until 10PM and was out saving grace as we were looking for something sweet. They have amazing pies in the back! I got the banana cream pie and even came back the next day for a coconut cream pie. They also had berry, chocolate and various cakes. Yum! Highly recommend if you are looking for a treat. read more

Average experience, it was a deli in a country store. One cool thing is they do boxed lunches, sandwich, chips, drink, cookie. It took almost 20 minutes before kitchen staff came to counter to take orders & there was a line of 5 other people behind me. $8 for a turkey sandwich on rye with bag of chips and a quarter of a pickle. It was average, nothing special, small layer of sliced turkey, no lettuce, bacon was cold. Crazy price for what you get. Have to leave the deli & go to cashier in country store to pay. read more

Chuck Wagon General - Time for refueling - Grocery Near Me - Torrey, Utah

Was out early on Thanksgiving day to enjoy a few nearby roads and just needed a real quick snack before heading home. Chuck Wagon General was open and fully staffed until the early afternoon for anyone needing their last minute groceries. Turns out they had a little deli/sandwich shop in the back which was open so I grabbed a sandwich which came with a bag of chips. I got the BLT since it's usually a safe bet and I assumed with it being Thanksgiving they might be a little understaffed or rushing to get everything finished and closed for the day. I was pleasantly surprised when the BLT was tasty and on really nice bread plus it was made to order rather than a pre-made sandwich. The service was fantastic too. read more

Great little grocery store for a small town! Picked up some sandwich staples for exploring Capitol Reef NP. Nice variety. Four stars for nice selection in a small town. read more

I would avoid this place due to their hygiene practices. The customers were all wearing masks when I visited yesterday. The clerk was not. And there was no way to get our food and leave except to stand within 2-3 feet of her as she chatted amicably, but without a mask. Covid is in this county. The management of this store seems remiss. I'll go back, but only after the epidemic is largely under control. read more

Had everything we needed and a laundry place too. Good selection of beer. Nice and friendly service. Little lunch place in the back.

We didn't stay in the hotel so I can't speak to their rooms but what a great little general store. We ate there for breakfast two mornings (the smells coming from the bakery when the doors open at 7am are AMAZING) and got snacks/beer there two nights. I found the selection to be better than expected, the prices to be reasonable and the staff very friendly. read more

Great place. We were on a 5 day off road motorcycle ride and needed gloves . They had them at a great price.

Best burger I've had! I highly recommend them they defiantly know what they are doing!!

Ordered the egg and cheese burrito with bacon. The burrito was huge, but it was 90% egg. There was only one small strip of bacon and cheese. It would have been better to have a smaller burrito so you could taste the bacon and cheese. Also ordered a doughnut, it was okay. read more

So glad we stopped here on the drive through so we had provisions for our stops and hikes between here and Moab. We bought cheeses, meats, rolls, fruit, coleslaw, yogurt from the deli and store that kept us happy through the rest of the day. We added our items to our cooler in the car and they were perfect several hours later. read more

The little deli in the back of the General Store is a hidden gem. The breakfast food rocks and the coffee delicious. (Coffee is free if you are staying on their premises.). We came back for breakfast the next day because of the quality and price. Seating is limited, but we found a spot both times. There is outside seating as well. Sack lunches made there are good and convenient to take out for daily hiking. read more
