It's like a Cracker Barrel and a corner store. It's not as big, but it has a great selection. It also has a restaurant inside. But you have to eat on the picnic tables outside, which was great weather when I went. Get the cheeseburger and onion rings. They are great. The shop even donates to St. Jude! Great place, great owner

Ok so this has been on my bucket list since forever to go to Tennessee and *visit* aka stalk Justin Timberlake hometown in millington! Lol this summer in August was finally able to check it off my list!! I’ve been dying to go to Shelby forest general store & have one of their famous cheeseburgers. This was jt favorite corner general store growing up and always talked about it in interviews and his book and etc even the Grammys! I went inside the store & for some reason I was so nervous like the typical nerd that iam lol I was just so happy and excited to be there but nervous & Doug the owner of the store behind the counter I guess can sense my nervousness looking around his store & started to talk to me & ask me questions he was so sweet and kind he offered me free coffee & asked what brought us into town? I told him we came here bc this is where jt grew up and he was so honored and proceeded to tell me all about how he knows Justins family and told me stories about his memories of Justin growing up and coming into the store and it was such a cool experience! He told me down the street was Justin’s church where his dad and grandfather were a pastor. He told me how on those very front steps is where Justin was young he met his idol Al green the singer who is also from millington! I appreciated dougs generosity soo much!! Doug & his sweet wife Kristen had that southern charm and warm hospitality that put my anxiety at ease and really just put a cherry on top of my trip visiting the town! Doug going out of his way to talk to me & tell me stories about jt. show me his personal pictures he has with him and Justin was so cool! Doug wanted to make my experience special, it was so thoughtful. He even gave me some souvenirs to keep!! He really made my day!! We told him we were passing through bc we were moving to Texas & was excited but nervous & he gave us such nice advice he told us he can tell we were a nice family and he knows good things are waiting for us in Texas what’s out there is waiting for us, to go grab and take it & told Sergio my husband to not wait and knock on the door for opportunity but to go kick it down LOL we absolutely loved his advice & well wishes for our family we left there so happy and excited for our future!! It is a memory I will cherish forever! And like I said I was so excited to try their famous cheeseburgers and they were so delicious and amazing!!! Definitely made with love Thank u again Doug and Kristen for ur kindness it was a honor to meet you two!!!

It's an old 1930s building that must have been a neighborhood general store in its day. It is run by a wonderful couple named Doug and Kristin Ammons. We went in December, and it had limited hours during the weekday. It's more of a lunch stop. They kept its historical look, and it reminded us of days of old. As a matter of fact, the burgers made us think of stopping at the old "Route 66" type places in the 50-60s. We loved them ! And their fries were excellent ! There are many picnic tables outside to eat and one large table inside. It has some arts, gifts, and fun sodas. The locals were showing up for lunch. It's probably a fun hangout to have a backporch visit there.

Every 6 months my family and I go camping in Shelby Forest. It has become a tradition to leave early enough to stop here for lunch before we go. The owners are also so friendly and welcoming, the food is always fresh and delicious, and it has become one of the things my kids and I look forward to the most! A little hidden gem in the depths of the forest, but it is a must-do for anyone in the area, in my opinion.

This place is a must stop if you are in the area, the owners are so friendly. The food they cook is good and they also have some amazing cakes and other snacks made by the Menonites. I tried the Italian crème cake and it was amazing
