I was excited to take visiting family to Monson General Store. I live in the area and hadn't been myself, so I was looking forward to seeing what they offered. What a disappointing experience all around. I stood at the deli counter for five minutes and was ignored by the staff ( the store was NOT busy) so I walked away. A man ( the owner I assume) behind the cash register was going over logistics of an upcoming event, with who I can only assume was the store manager. I stood at that counter with items in my hand I had questions about and was ignored. Neither of them acknowledged that I was even there. None of the staff spoke to any of the patrons. They couldn't be bothered. It was snooty, overpriced and not a good look for Monson or the Moosehead Lake region. I love to support the local community but will NOT be back to this establishment.

Great store with everything you could want and excellent deli in the rear. I had the roast beef sandwich that was massive and delicious! Bought a hat and some gifts as well. Couldn't believe how good the sandwich was. Everyone loved what they got and it was reasonably quick and the price was fair. Such a simple way to get what you need before heading out for the day!

They have everything! Everything gifty/souvenirish, plus so many edible basics & treats, snacks, wine, beer, plus nice deli/hot food preparation in the back, with breakfast, salads, sandwiches, pasta - and a small number of tables. Amazing place. Nice people.

Excellent sandwiches. Not that a half is still a good-sized meal. And save room for a cookie!

Great place to get whatever you need. The food at the deli is delicious. We've had both breakfasts and lunches there. Nice selection of meat and vegetables from local farms, and the coffee is the best! Always stop by on the weekends when we are home.

Monson General Store is like a little community hub here in Monson. The staff are very friendly and they've got an interesting selection of local products, such as maple syrup, Pineland Farms sauces and cheeses, cards and jewelry, ice cream, cider, candies, and other treats. Also, those Fox Family chips are addicting! It's a really cute and quaint little store with hot food and grilled sandwiches in the back and baked treats/hot cider/coffee in the front. There's plenty of variety in the selection of things they have (almond butter! granola! vegetables!) and their wine and beer selection is definitely better than the convenience store attached to the gas station down the road. I would've liked them to have fresher vegetables but that may have been the fault of being around in the off-season when there's less turnover. Sandwiches (especially the grilled ones) are pretty big and hearty--I had a daily special of delicious bbq chicken grilled cheese that really hit the spot one time.They also sometimes hold events--back in November there was a beer tasting of Lone Pine beers that really brought a bunch of people in! There's outdoor space to eat in as well as some indoor tables. It's just a friendly environment and very kind to us artists staying in Monson. Really thankful to have such this spot in Monson!

Very cute general store. Deli sandwiches were super fresh and delicious, we drove down from Greenville a few days to grab lunch here. Nice souvenirs and friendly staff. I also enjoyed that they carry Maine food products like Moxie, Allagash beer and Fox Family chips.

Great stop if you are in the area or passing through. Great breakfast and lunch sandwiches and the local steaks and filets for cooking at home are fantastic.

Had a really yummy Turkey n' stuffing sandwich from the deli. Really impressed with the selection. Stayed in a camp down the road and took home a really nice cut of meat, braised it with seasoning and potatoes. One of the best camp meals in recent memory.

The sandwich menu/choices are top notch. I had the Reuben (twice) and it was more tasty and 1/2 the price than what you'd get at a well-know restaurant in Greenville. The provisions are excellent and the building is newer; with a quaint, old-school rustic vibe inside and seating outdoors and a nearby gazebo. Can get busy around lunchtime but that tells you people know this is a good place to eat some delicious food.
