Great food, very yummy! lots of workers but only one curly haired young man seemed to be doing work at the counter. Highly recommend coming for the sandwiches and shakes. Large selection of goodies as well. read more

Very cool little country store. Lots of various candy, sandwiches, etc. The milkshake flights are awesome. I hope half price milkshakes come back one day. The workers are very nice too. You can tell they enjoy their work. read more

Quintessential Southern small general store serving options for food as well. We ordered milkshakes the day we came. Pricing on items was reasonable and unique gift options were available. The only negative was the pricing for "kids" milkshake. It doesn't make sense how it's set up as the small which appears to be more than double in size is $5 but the kids (significantly smaller) is $4.50. If you have kids it makes more sense to buy a small and get 2 straws. read more

COVID review: there are not enough stars in the sky to underscore how hospital the staff at the Red Rooster Country Store. I made an unplanned stop here on my lunch break because I was having a really tough day and I needed one of their world class milkshakes to make it better. Of course my milkshake was great but the conversation and care that went into making the milkshake is the what really made my day!! Emotional eaters and foodies of all kinds this place is for you!! If you haven't already done so be sure to check them out!! read more

A bit of a 'hike' from the homefront, but who doesn't love a field trip on occasion? Red Rooster Country Store definitely made the trip worthwhile. A small spot that really packs a punch in terms of what is inside. Metal chicks and chickens are scattered around the outside area just begging for someone to take a picture with them. Once you step inside you might be tempted to just stand in the doorway taking it all in. But don't, because there is probably someone right behind you, and it's rude to stand and gawk. So, before you head off around the store, what are you looking for? Pillows, trinkets, or home decor? Check! Candies and snacks? Check! Jams, jellies, and sauces? Check! Refrigerated area for perishable items? Check! I know, it's totally overwhelming, but take your time and work through everything slowly. Personally, I went for the neopolitan covered pretzels and some peanut butter/chocolate dots (because, sing it with me folks, "I'm just a girl who can't say no"). The deli counter was hopping and I tried to time my lunch order with a break in the action. I brought my pirate's booty to the counter and asked about ordering lunch. The lovely lady at the counter asked if I had ever been there, and offered to place the order for me. She walked me through the process (there are a lot of options), and I ended up with a ham/swiss on sourdough. There are a number of small tables in the middle of the store where visitors can enjoy their meals. Taking my first bite of the sandwich, I was struck by all of the amazing flavors, and mainly the flavor of the tomatoes. Fresh and flavorful, it took a regular sandwich to a little bit of heaven. They also serve ice cream, but I did not partake (contrary to popular belief, I do have limits to my gluttony!). This is definitely a must-stop kind of place if you are in the area, and worth the trip if you aren't in the area! read more

Take me back in time... this little country store will have you thinking you're at Ike Godsey's on Walton's Mountain. Displays of jams and jellies, jars of local honey, old fashioned candies, farm fresh eggs, country décor and linens... and of course, lots of roosters! I got a little of everything! One thing this small store had that Ike didn't, was delicious, creamy, soft serve ice cream! My cone runneth over with a twist of chocolate and vanilla sweetness! There's also a fruit and veggie stand next door! I always like to support local farmers and businesses when I can. The owners were down right friendly, and their prices were fair! If you're ever traveling on 301, and see this tiny store on the side of the road, be sure to stop in and take a gander! Tell John Boy I said "hello"! read more

It's a nice store but very over packed. It's overwhelming having so much product on the floor and I don't see myself coming back because of this. read more

It's a wonderful southern breakfast experience with lots of country accents, great food and cheerful staff! I recommend it

Good Reuben sandwich nice little country store, friendly service. Variety of candies and baked goods and fresh made sandwiches

My family and I have stopped at this little country store on more than one occasion. My son likes that they carry gumballs for his gumball machine and my husband thinks they make THE best chocolate peanut butter milkshake in the world. I am a big fan of the deli sandwiches -- just like Mom used to make. You can get deviled eggs as a side! Not to mention the fresh baked goods. You can grab a cookie, a slice of pie or cake, or some banana pudding, but selections change, so follow them online to keep up! Also, if you want a WHOLE dessert, be sure to call ahead and order, because getting a whole dessert on the fly is a big gamble! The service at this store is AH-mazing! The people are so friendly and very helpful. They carry lots of local items and items from other local vendors, so I'm always excited to peruse the store and see what's new. They have everything from deli sandwiches and desserts, to candies and decor. IMHO, if you're anywhere near this side of town, stop by and have a look. I bet you'll find something you love! read more

I ordered a Reuben, not knowing what to expect from a country store. But it was as delicious as any that I've eaten at urban delis. The sandwich counter had a steady stream of customers, but food was served promptly. And the setting, a country store selling a variety of jams & marmalades & honey, and a variety of other food & gifts, made the visit enjoyable. read more

What a delight stumbling upon this gem. Gracious service, excellent sandwiches and good prices. We enjoyed our sandwiches which were made fresh and with love. The store is quaint and brings back memories of childhood with their penny candies and canned peaches. What a treat. We will be back soon to try their milkshakes! read more

Can't say anything new. Everyone loves this place. Wish it was a little closer, but touching these butterfly wings might destroy its magic. They have every southern delight, from jarred peaches to pickled asparagus. They cover everything in chocolate. How can you hate that? Bought an entire pecan pie. Feel I should review ever bite of every slice. One sticky fork full at a time. read more

Love this small country store! We are within asking distance so we've checked this place out for lunch (love the deli, good selection of deli meats for sandwiches but they do sell out so go early) we've also popped in for a sweet treat from their to-go items or grabbed a milkshake! They have items as well which are great for small gifts and they even offer to create gift basket and care packages for you! read more

My daughter sent me great "Bear Crunch Popcorn" for my 75th...Also included yummy Peach Preserves and some Carmel Pattie's....what a nice gift.. made it to New Wilmington, Pa in the western part of the state....sure is nice to have my family put together all these pieces. read more

Love this place. Reminds me of an Amish store with fresh foods and a variety of selected snacks and candies not found many places in the area. The owners and staff are kind, appreciative and friendly. The sandwiches and all prepared foods are delicious. Try the lemon pound cake! Best lemon pound cake I have ever had. And I love the old store feel. Great atmosphere. read more

My fave Go To for unique gifts, great food items so fresh and delicious. Wonderful custard type ice cre ( love the moca shake) and I buy our local honey, syrup, deli items there. The owners and staff are incredibly helpful & friendly. GREAT wholesome atmosphere read more

Love the Rooster! They have the best milkshakes and homemade peanut butter! When you walk in it's like taking a step back into childhood. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. They also have cute decor for sale and lots of old timey candy, tons of flavors of jams and food for sale. You won't be disappointed! read more

Literally the only soft serve I can find in Hanover County. What is wrong with Virginia not offering soft serve anywhere??? Love being able to get a delicious treat here. This is my go-to spot for hostess gifts, secret Santa, MIL presents, etc. They carry a lovely selection of local products and cute home goods. Staff is super friendly and helpful, as well! read more

This is the cutest country store! If you haven't been there you are missing out! They have lots of different home made snacks and little gifts for you or someone else! Also, they serve sandwiches and ice cream! I can't wait to go back! read more

We stopped here while on a road trip, guided by all of the Yelp reviews, and were not disappointed. We all enjoyed our delicious sandwiches, chips and ice cream! While we waited, we shopped in the cute gift shop. The staff was friendly and helpful but also gave us space, which we appreciated. We bought two pieces of cake to take with us, and I wish we'd gotten more. Both flavors were delicious! read more

Red Rooster is a diamond in the rough! Let me start by saying they have the BEST milkshakes in the Richmond area by far. You should also know they have great cake, soups and sandwiches. The store is full of wonderful candy and there are so many wonderful gift ideas. Finally, the team is top notch! Everyone is so kind and makes you feel so welcomed. If you have not been, what are you waiting for????? Show Red Rooster some love and you will feel love in return. read more

Great little shop! They carry a potato salad and a chicken salad in their cold box that are 2 of the best I've ever had. Stop by there and snag those and go next door to Berrys produce for some fresh vegetables and good ice cream. read more

This is a cool place with a county store atmosphere. Lunch is great. I love their Rueben sandwiches, and just finished one.

Fantastic little country store. Excellent sandwiches, tasty shakes (choc peanut butter, Oreo and coffee were all excellent). Very friendly staff. Lots of other local goodies to take home - meats, jams, candy, pickled vegetables, desserts, gifts, etc. Can't wait to return. read more

Quaint store with a lunch/ice cream counter and decor and candy selection you don't find anywhere else

Wonderful place with sandwiches of the day, delicious Pierogi, and fun collections of snack mixes and candy.

Customer service and food are always on point! Love the ice cream and milkshakes. If you see a cinnamon roll while you're in, don't hesitate, they sell fast!! Very happy to have a little place to stop in and grab a sandwich! read more

This is a great addition to the area. The sandwiches are tasty, and the service is very friendly. The store itself is decorated nicely, and the staff is always wonderful. Everything is clean, and they have a nice selection of goods. Ive been a handful of times, and am already recognized and greeted warmly upon entering. I expect after a couple more visits, I'll be greeted by name. It's that kind of place. They had a lot more candy than I expected, but lots of other items too. It's a great stop when you want something quick and cheap (I think most sandwiches are $5.99) and a lot better than fast food. The only thing that would make them better is if they carried country ham for their sandwiches. Definitely worth a visit! read more

What a great store! They have a wide variety of wonderful things to buy. You can buy some old time candy there and all sorts of treats. The deli has wonderful meats like German Bologna. The staff was very friendly. Fun place to shop!! read more

Chocolate Peanut Butter shake and Black Raspberry shake are great. Staff very friendly.

Oh my gosh! What a precious little gem to escape to when all the growth in Hanover has you like.... I feel like I am stepping back in time when I walk in! I have been by 5-6 times since they opened in December and have run into several friends every time! Drop in and linger for a bit. You'll leave with a smile on your face and your spirit lifted! The sandwiches (and soups!!!) are amazing and the ice cream is the best! The staff is so friendly and personable, too. The prices are even budget-friendly. I am so glad to have this treasure in my hometown! read more

Carolyn, the owner, has struck gold with this little store. Delicious local foods, scrumptious soft serve ice cream, yummy lunch options. They offer a variety of locally sourced treats, meats, dairy products, candles, lotions, etc. I especially love that you can create a college care package and they will mail it to a college student-- less work for you! read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE the old fashioned authenticity of the Red Rooster Country Store! I felt like I was stepping back in time. They have a nice selection of candy, food, old fashioned ice cream, and a super friendly staff. I will definitely visit there again! read more

Great atmosphere. Loved the food. Can't wait to go back. Sandwich was great place reminded me of Lancaster pa

Stumbled on this place. How lucky for us. We always try to find local places and this far exceeded our expectations. We had roast beef sandwich and Turkey sandwich. Top quality food with interesting and tasty pepper jelly condiment. Really great. I must add that the customer service was 5+ stars. Don't miss out, go here. read more
