Cotton's Country Store is one of a kind. The food is great, the atmosphere is just as good, and it's still family owned since 1947 passed down through the generations of the original family.

They cook up a darn good breakfast, and I've heard delicious rumors of their hand crafted sandwiches. My first experience at this quaint little country store was very satisfying. My breakfast of biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs and cheese was delicious and filling. The store is full of odds and ends, basic necessities, and local products from artisans and farms. I look forward to coming back here to try out those delicious sandwiches!

Awesome juicy double cheeseburgers. The grass fed angus beef was delicious. And the staff was wonderful and very friendly. Burgers cooked fresh and were ready in just a few minutes. Deviled eggs were only $1.50 for 2 as a side for the burger.

Awesome place! I have drove by it for years hoping one day someone would open it back up, and they did! They have bores head meats, farm fresh frozen meat, a lot of healthy safe local foods! The sandwiches don't disappoint! They are full of meat worth every penny! I will be back! My mom is so excited for the bores head they have! Everyone there is so nice! I loved the greeting we got! They were so welcoming to me, my husband and my service dog! I didn't have to explain myself or get looks like most places. They were so lovely to meet! It's so cute inside!!! It's a must stop. They have a great mountain view at the outside picnic tables!

As the name says, this is a country store off the beaten path, but worth the drive. The sandwiches are piled high with hand sliced meats and the homemade specials are tasty. There’s a wood burning pot belly stove to keep warm by in the winter and rocking chairs out front in the Spring. We enjoy the large community tables that force away city anonymity and enhances neighborliness. We love it!
