“Coops Landing is one of those places with real small-town charm. The homemade chicken salad and sweet tea are both excellent, and the staff is always friendly. It’s the perfect stop before or after a day on Lake Sinclair.”

“Has all the basic necessities we needed for our stay at a nearby cabin that we didnt think to bring, like salt and ketchup. A decent selection of fishing stuff including worms and basic fishing poles. Large selection of beer and wine. Firewood too. The prices are very fair for the convenience, as it is a good 30 minute drive on winding roads to milledgeville. Please consider what it costs to run a store like this with limited volume, open long hours in an isolated area before complaining about prices. I though despite that, the prices were quite reasonable.”
