Old Man's Cave General Store is a rustic stop near Hocking Hills State Park, known for its great variety of yummy soft serve ice cream with many flavors, like espresso and tuity fruity, which is cheaper than a nearby competitor. The place is not very big, so with many customers, there can be a slight wait and everyone can feel packed in. It is a convenient stop for hikers, also offering pizza by the slice and other refreshments. The service receives mixed reviews, with some calling it great and others disappointed. The setting is back woods, featuring a port-a-john as a public restroom. The store also has an abundance of alcoholic drinks. A cute kitty is sometimes seen there.
My family and I enjoyed their ice cream. The store was cute. My kids loved the shop cat.

The homemade pies were amazing. The line for ice cream or deli was super long. Store is always packed. They have everything you could need but are very pricey.

Great variety of soft serve ice cream cones, waffle cones, bowls, and shakes. General store items are over priced by a lot, like $12 for uno cards. However, the service was good, they had music playing, happy workers and local cat 🐈 seeking pets.
