Reviews for Rockford General Store in Dobson, NC
Lovely old fashioned country store, with lots of by the pound candy that I haven't seen since I was a child. Try their fried... pies. They'll warm it for you, and top it with ice cream for a little more. Read more

What a charming, absolutely enchanting, old store!!! We drove two hours to pick something up from there for a friend's birthday,... and cannot wait to go back! The owner, Paul, is a truly wonderful man, and I just can't say enough about what a fantasticexperience the trip to his store was. Read more
This General Store is an absolute gem just a short drive from Winston Salem. You?re driving down this winding country road and... suddenly you?re in this tiny town that you could very easily pass if you?re distracted. But a small cluster of historicbuildings quickly tells you that you?re in another time, another place altogether. We parked out front and walked in to diveright into the fantastic old timey candy store area before putting in our orders for Bologna and a cheese sandwiches. We grabbeda few bottles of Cheerwine and waited out front and chatted with some folks on the porch while our order was being prepared.After about ten minutes, our order came out and we dug in. What an absolutely fantastic sandwich! A thick slab of fried Bolognaand a huge slab of cheese. We can?t wait to come back out and stay a while! Read more
Saw this place in Our State magazine and had to check out. It's like a step back in time and we loved it. The bologna sandwich... was top notch especially paired either an ice cold ginger ale (glass bottle). Staff was very welcoming and I appreciate a wellrun family business. Read more
The building dates back to 1890 and is in the center of a somewhat restored historic village. I ordered the BLT. It was okay.... The french fries were good! Seating is limited to one table.They have a nice bulk candy selection. The sonker (think cobbler) isthe star. We had cherry sonker a la mode. Nice little stop. Read more
In another time, Back off the beaten path a community still exists where time slows down. The river winds through the area... racing the railroad tracks. It's silent and calm. It sounds untrue, but I can tell you.. It's real. We are fortunate to livevery close and enjoy visiting every chance we can. Antiques, Candy, Creeking floors, The smell of yester year. Step back in timeand while you're here... Have a Burger, or a Bologna Sammich', Maybe a slice of pie. So charming and the food is delicious. Soworth a visit if you are coming through. Historic and functional. A Prized spot for us locals and a treat for visitors. FriendlyStaff. Why you would think your Granny was going to turn the corner at any moment. Am i biased? Yes I am and unapologetic aboutit. You don't get to experience this much these days and I am glad it's in our back yard. Highly Recommended. While your there,Take a stroll and read the many plaques and learn the history of Rockford. Read more
