“I had to stop here last Friday, and was in a bit of a rush. I had two dentist appointments back to back, so time was of the essence. The waiter took my order right away, and let me just say, the cook fixed together two of the best lettuce-wrapped chicken sandwhiches I have EVER seen on a lettuce-wrapped bun. I am a frequent of CFA (Chick Fil A), and let me tell you... These were the best goshdarn lettuce-wrapped sandwhiches ever. Better than going to the ball game. The Cook gave me a hug (? Freaky!) The lady (huzz) at the register got me a diet Lemonade, and I pulled out the Nine dollars, and it was so affordable. I will be back (threat).”

“When people visit us at Lake Anna, they always ask us for best food recommendations and then grin in disbelief when we pull up to my favorite 'restaurant' on the Lake: the Elk Creek Country Store.... ten minutes later, after we've exchanged pleasantries with the amazing Holly and Terry and purchased my absolute favorites: fried FISH (Fridays!) and fried chicken and sides, they are blown away by the taste and freshness! The sundries and supplies sold there are also super useful (tackle, beer food stuffs, propane, firewood...), but the FOOD and the friendly service keep us coming back, week in and week out. Never thought I'd be a regular at country store lunch counter, but I'm here to say I am, loud and proud! Twelve out of ten stars - HIGHLY recommend.”

“This rating is for Todd specifically, not the rest of the pharmacy. I have refilled the exact prescription twice previously. I thought the higher dollar amount was because my deductible rolled over with the new year. Nope, Todd was the only one that caught onto the fact that my insurance was only covering one PILL per prescription, while I was paying out of pocket for the remaining 60 pills. Nobody else bothered to look into it. Thank you, Todd! You saved me $$!”
