La Honda Country Market, also known as The Bandit Store, is a unique roadside destination nestled in a scenic mountain area. With a rich history linked to Jesse James and his Gang, the store features fascinating artifacts like pistols and rifles from the Wild West. The menu includes sandwiches and pizzas inspired by famous gunslingers and Native Americans, with the Bonnie and Clyde sandwich receiving special mentions for couples. Visitors have discovered this hidden gem offers homemade deli sandwiches, moist raisin muffins, and incredible cookies that are a must-try. The market is well-stocked with groceries, specialty beers, and liquor, making it a convenient stop for locals and travelers alike. However, some recent reviews indicate a decline in service quality, with concerns over menu clarity and food consistency. While the selection remains diverse, including outdoor seating and limited parking, customers have noted a drop in the quality of certain items like pizza and sandwiches. Despite mixed feedback on recent visits, La Honda Country Market continues to provide a charming atmosphere for a snack or meal in a picturesque setting.
This is nice market with all the typical stuff plus veggies. And they honey from a local farmer. Only thing is they need to mark items with prices. Most are not marked.
