Payton's Grocery is a beloved small country store that has been serving the community for over 40 years. The staff is praised for their friendly and charming service, making everyone feel welcome. The highlight of the store is the delicious fried chicken, which is described as the best around, fresh and hot daily. Customers also enjoy the great food and the store's role as a gathering place for early risers. However, there have been some complaints about the saltiness of the catfish and an ongoing issue with a dangerous stump in the parking lot that the owner has failed to address, despite it causing damage to customers' vehicles. Overall, Payton's Grocery is a cherished local institution, known for its excellent fried chicken and welcoming atmosphere.

I stopped by Payton's on my way home from Shenandoah National Park and was very pleased I did. The staff was so friendly and charming and absolutely sold me on the fried chicken here. Happy to have stopped by!
