Stone Mountain Country Store

This was a nice little stop on the way to Stone Mountain State Park. A place where you can pick up some odds and ends for camping or fishing or candy OR AWESOME ICE CREAM!!! So good and they are VERY generous with their scoops, almost too generous (as if that could actually happen with ice cream, lol). I got a scoop of black cherry in a cup for $ 2.50. There are about 10 flavors to choose from and you can get it in a cup, regular cone or a waffle cone. We had barely made it to the door and people were already being friendly.

Just what we needed after a long morning of hiking in Stone Mountain State Park.
Unassuming log cabin you’ll pass on your way to the park office. Rocking chairs on the porch are an ideal spot to sit and stay a while.
This country store is dimly lit and very quaint. Locally made jams, soaps, and arts and crafts line the outer walls. You can buy snacks and souvenirs (like mugs and hats) here. They also sell some camping and fishing basics (including a relatively large selection of Lodge cast iron) in case you forgot something at home.
There is a small dining area with a few tables for guests. Seemed like a mix of locals and visitors hanging out.
My husband and I each ordered a cheeseburger with fries. Can’t remember many of the other menu items except pizza and chicken tenders — simple stuff. The burgers were pretty basic, but hit the spot, and the fries were hot and crispy. No complaints for this cheap lunch.
Several other patrons were enjoying ice cream cones topped with massive scoops. Next time I’m at Stone Mountain I’ll be sure to try one of those.

It’s a nice local store to stop while attending the Stone Mountain State Park.
They have standard burgers, snacks, and ice cream if you are hungry; firewood if you are camping and cold; local crafts and arts upstairs if you need some souvenirs; and Wifi if you are itching for connectivity.

A perfect pit stop after a day hiking around the Stone Mountain State Park, or a good spot to grab anything you forgot to bring. It’s an odd set-​up inside, with a counter on the right where you order food from, and then a little further down they have an ice cream cooler. I had a burger that was fine, nothing remarkable, but good. We both had waffle cones after, and whatever ice cream they were peddling was really smooth and fresh. They obviously have the cooler at exactly the right temperature, because the ice cream texture, which I think is critical, was perfect. Also, it’s pretty cheap too, so makes for a nice addition to a free day at the park.

What better way to reward yourself after a hike on Stone Mountain than with a scoop of homemade ice cream, enjoyed outside on a rocking chair? Don’t miss this little general store just a few miles away from Stone Mountain. It carries all the utensils and mosquito coils you might need for your camping trip, but also fun gift-​y souvenir things like jars of jam, and general store expectations like root beer-​flavored candy sticks. Upstairs, there’s a gallery of local art.
You can fill up with a burger or fries. But be sure to save room for their ice cream — about 8 flavors to choose from, and you can have it on a cone or as a milkshake. I’m a sucker for the peach which is so creamy and has chunks of real fruit. The cookies and cream has plenty of cookies in it too. Eat yours outside on the wrap-​around porch, and undo all the calorie-​burning you just did.
