It was fine. The service was serviceable. I wanted ice cream and I got me some ice cream. It was clear that I was there the week after a busy tourist week and the staff was tired of us tourist types

Only been here once but they seemed to have a little bit of everything. We came for cheese and crackers, both were great. Associates were friendly as well. Easy parking and easy to get in and out of here quickly.

Great little grocery store. Has a good selection considering its size. Prices in general were not bad. We went here several times during our trip and always found what we needed.

The only decent grocery store I'm aware of in the area unless you want to drive a very long ways back to Marathon, Alpine or Marfa. To be honest, I'm not sure of the availability in the last two but they're well over an hour drive away, and Marathon only has the French Grocer which is somewhat limited. That said, pretty solid availability and is obviously serving this region with a little bit of everything. It's also part hardware store, part liquor store, etc. Only down side is don't expect a lot of fresh green vegetables. That's not necessarily the fault of the store I suspect. Anything that gets here also has to be driven a very long way in. On three visits for groceries, the cilantro was DOA. Laying flat and past due. Should have been tossed in my opinion. Also good: things like firewood for that Airbnb stay many here are engaging in. Camp fires are not allowed inside of the National Park but outside I'd guess no problem as long as you're very careful. We found the staff here to be engaged and friendly and pretty much everything we wanted we were able to pick up for our extended stay. Good to know as we travel to this area at least once a year but this was our first experience with the store. It's highly recommended.

"If they don't have it you don't need it!" That's what the locals told me when they recommended this place for picking up extra supplies on a trip out to Big Bend. I needed bug spray and some citronella candles to keep the bugs away after that awful first day of camping. This is the only store available in town and let me tell you, it has everything you could find/need from a big box store. I was amazed at how the owner keeps everything stocked and organize. One of the locals actually told me the owner 'takes request' for what to buy. This lady told me she is lactose intolerant and can only drink soy milk so she tells the owner to buy soy milk for her. Sure enough, he will get for you if you need it. If you like a certain brand of can soup, he will get it for you on his weekly shopping trip. He takes his trailer hitched to his truck all the way to Alpine once a week and buys supplies to sell at the store. And you thought your shopping list was long thinking about what this guy buys in bulk haha. I saw everything from cleaning supplies, frozen food to pet food and even electronics! Do keep in mind they do bring all these items from far away so that is reflected in the price you pay at the counter for these things.
