    We recently heard about this place from several local people who suggested we check it out. We did some exploring in the area and then made our way to the General Store. When we arrived you could tell this was a hidden gem, there were quite a few people/cars/motorcycles in the parking lot and people sitting on the porch eating their treats. The store was very busy with many people strolling through the aisles. There was also a short line in the to-go sandwich order area. They have many different items, cold drinks, nuts, sauces, breads, baked goods, jams, jellies, and basic frozen meats like sausage and bacon. We left with a few waters and a small package of their pumpkin bread. My wife thought the pumpkin bread was just okay but we will come back when we are in the area next time. We would recommend stopping in!

    Don't remember how we found out about this gem but we love it. At least once a month we take a trip to Elkin to hike part of the MST from Grassy Creek Winery to Carter Falls and we always stop here on the way. Amazing Amish store with glorious baked goods. They usually have 4 or 5 types of fresh bread, rolls, cinnamon rolls and if you get there early enough on Saturday you can get the hot doughnuts. They have all kinds of snacks, jams and jellies. They also have cheeses, local meats, Amish pies and the like. The best thing are the made to order sandwiches. Piled high with boars head meats and all kinds of fixins. Pick up a Sammie and head over to Grassy Creek Winery and hike to Carter Falls for lunch then come back and enjoy a bottle.

    Never got around to trying the Deli which was a mistake because it's great. Been here a number of times over the years but never got around to ordering something prepared in the Deli. Have ordered Deli Meat, Fresh Bread etc but never one of their sandwiches. Reason why was we were going elsewhere for lunch, had already had lunch etc. Today I was solo so decided to try the Deli. Walked back and you fill out a little card with your order. Options are printed above so not that hard. I chose a Ham on Wheat with Onion, Spicy Mustard and bit of Horseradish and turned in my card, You also get a bag of Chips with the Order You pay at the front and you can do it after you order or after you pick up your sandwich. I chose to go ahead and pay then and forgot about the chips but no big deal. Trying to lose weight and didn't need the chips anyway. Name was called and I walked out on the porch and found a nice chair to sit in on the expansive porch and opened up my sandwich. I had forgotten what a good Ham Sandwich tastes like. This Sandwich took me back before we ate so much fast food. Not mass produced and it actually had taste and character. Very fresh and no taste of preservatives. The tail tail give away was the onions. These were nice and crisp and were not the prepared two hours before we open and stuck in a bin, limp and devoid of anything fresh that you normally find. The Sandwich was probably the best I have had in years and while a hike from Cornelius, if I'm in the area, well worth taking a bit of a detour just to enjoy

    The best homemade sandwiches

    I have absolute loved watching this business expand and grow through the years. My family and I have been coming here my whole life and we commonly refer to it as "the Amish store". One of my absolute favorite things to do is go here and grab a sandwich, maybe some baked goods, and head out for a picnic! There are picnic tables outside at the church next door. You can also take your picnic up to a local winery (there are several within 15 minutes of here). The staff here are so friendly and I love everything about this store! If you can, you have to get there EARLY on a weekend morning to grab a dozen of their *homemade donuts*. The donuts are absolutely incredible! The word is getting out which is great, but it has gotten significantly more crowded so expect a crowd when you go.

    I wish I had know about this place sooner! We came out this direction for a scouting event and found Shiloh General Store on Yelp. Luckily I read all the reviews because just one mentioned the doughnuts and that was all it took for me to make this a stop. They opened at 9:00-ish. The hours posted say 9:00am but they were a little late the day we were there. No biggie. The crowd of people gathering told me this was going to be good. The crowd all made a quick left just inside to the bakery/deli area where bags of 6 warm glazed doughnuts were being handed out to guests. People were taking two and three bags a piece then immediately heading to the register to pay. They are 6 for $3.50. If you've ever had Britts doughnuts in Carolina Beach this is the closest you can get to that without the drive. Warm, soft pillows of goodness! So good with just the right amount of chew. While waiting in line for my precious bag of goodness, I checked out the fresh loaves of bread bagged on the rack. What?!? Warm fresh bread also! Of course one of those beautiful loaves hopped into my basket. We browsed the store and decided we would go eat our doughnuts while they were warm and come back later for a sandwich from the deli on some of that fresh bread. I know I'll be back to Shiloh General store again soon. Probably when I run out of doughnuts and bread!

Customer service? Fail. Well lets be honest here, people want lowest prices. That cannot happenand still have the best customer service. Of course guns are no longer their inventory, including Air Soft. They are also not restocking knives or archery supplies. So basically all hunting items. Purely political. But this has fostered a huge growth in local merchants carrying those. But otherwise still a major hub for price conscious people.

The only reason for a missing star is that this environment is not for everyone. It's terrific if you want to bring your children to a place where they can totally entertain themselves while you enjoy a lunch with friends. I was looking for a quiet place where I could relax. That was difficult with a little girl (even though she was precious and cute) screaming and riding a skateboard inside. I was glad that she and her little brother could just be themselves and have a great time, but that can be somewhat problematic for diners.
