“This is literally the best option that I have for fresh food in a 10-minute (a little over 10 miles) radius of where I live in the middle of nowhere. Dollar General is closer to me and honestly a bit more higher quality, but it lacks a lot of things, making this store a necessity.
Hitchcock's is a bit expensive, and you have to be really careful with looking at dates on prepackaged food. I once bought potato salad from the deli that was several weeks out of date, which is honestly bizarre, considering how many people shop at this location -- I would think they would have problems keeping stuff ON the shelves...
I've also been quite disappointed by their hot food (fried chicken was greasy, salty, and flavorless).
But hey, it's all that a lot of us have, and it's open late-ish, so that's something.
EDIT: In January 2025, shortly after I submitted this review, I went to Hitchcock's to get shredded cheese and ended up almost buying a pack that had expired in November 2024... ?
However, I take back what I said about their fresh food. I haven't had their fried chicken in a long time, but their tenders and ribs are outstanding, as are their coleslaw and potato salad. This is honestly a pretty good store for what it is, and like I said, it's the most convenient option that I have for fresh food, so I honestly can't complain much.”
