EXCELLENT General Store! This store has a great selection of beach attire, snacks, and beverages. In the back of the store you can get freshly made chicken and sandwiches. They also offer fresh coffee and a large selection of cold sodas. There's a cover outdoor area where you can enjoy a beverage or some ice cream with your kids. The staff is friendly and eager to help. The atmosphere is definitely "beach store". I found their prices reasonable in comparison to other stores.

The general store is THE BEST spot on HHI! If you want the best breakfast (including fresh biscuits and gravy, crisp bacon, egg sandwiches, or Best Cinnamon rolls in America) the General Store is the only place to go. But it's not just about breakfast at the general store, because they have incredible fried chicken, ice cream, coffee, soda, and every adult beverage one could ever want. You can't beat the convenience of the general store... And it's a sure spot to buy beach souvenirs and toys to play in the sand in the ocea... read more

Overall it's a nice store and most of the food is good except for the sides. I'm going to say this as nice a possible. Please, please ease up on the garlic! The green beans and collards are inedible. In the south we season green beans and collards with pork, NOT garlic! 

Business response:

Thank you for the feedback, Steven. We apologize that you did not enjoy your meal and will certainly mention your feedback to the kitchen staff. We hope you give us another chance in the future.

Great vibe and very nice employees. The stuff is very overpriced but still original. The old building is still cozy and very cool. I went there to buy candy and get some tourist attraction here and get some cool beach stuff for my family. But we ended up getting blinded by the price of this plastic. Nice place. 

Business response:

We are delighted to hear you enjoyed our vibe, employees, and cozy building! We appreciate your feedback about pricing.

This place is great for its intended use of picking something up you forgot or grabbing a quick lunch of chicken tenders. However, it's crowded on the deck making it challenging to get in or out of the store at times. (Maybe put some umbrellas outside off the deck for people to sit at). It also feels like a gas station walking inside, very cramped. Soda and milk variety was limited. 

Business response:

Thank you for the feedback and we will certainly consider your suggestions. Have a wonderful day.

We always have fun riding our bicycles to the General Store when staying in Palmetto Dunes. Either for breakfast or for supplies and ice cream, this is a well-run quaint and convenient shop for when you need a few beach or condo supplies. If grabbing breakfast here, they have a good special where you get two hash brown patties. It does not say this in the menu but they will give you two. This is a good price ($7.99) for the amount of food you will get. The ketchup and other condiments are behind the cashier counter and you w... read more

We stopped by the store for the first time and I wasn't impressed that the refrigerated items weren't clearly priced. The freezer section by check out hardly had any flavors of ice cream, but, I was thankful they had a few ice cream options remaining...a Twix ice cream bar is better than nothing! I do give them points for a great front porch to sit in the shade for a few minutes enjoying the ice cream.
