Big Sur River Inn General Store

Great store with great price snacks (get their small batch pop corn). Breakfast menus may seem expensive at first ($13 for a burrito or egg sandwich to go) but the size is enormous. We got 2 burritos to-go thinking they were breakfast burritos size and they ended up bigger than Chipotle burrito. We got to pick all the different protein, eggs, and carbs going into it. They were so big that we could only finish one at a sit and ended up saving the other for lunch (worked out amazingly). Would recommend if you need quick bites being on the road.

Our lodge in the middle of the night drive home was Big Sur. My family was frustrated to learn that a recent landslide had blocked a road and had to take a detour. So we decided to grab a bite to eat and drive out to survive, and we went in there without even thinking about ordering a sandwich. Oh my god, it was such a tough chicken sandwich to describe how I felt. An old lady at work made it for me. We baked the common bread and added some tough chicken and dark muggy leaves in between. I highly recommend it. It was a tough chicken sandwich.

Definitely worth checking out. It’s a roadside stop. Kitsch and wholesome and fun. Neat stuff and great food. If you’re out west and driving down the coast it’s a great rest stop to stretch your legs and buy some souvenirs. Put it on your list if your driving by and you won’t be sorry!

The Chorizo burrito was on par with the fictional “meat tornado” from parks and recreation. Even better if you find a good spot on the 1 overlooking the coast and eat the burrito with a view.

A Must-Stop Spot in Big Sur! Every time we head down the coast, we make it a point to stop at the Big Sur Village General Store & Burrito Bar. The shop itself is super convenient—loaded with everything from road trip snacks and drinks to camping gear and cool local goodies. But the real highlight? The burritos! Fresh, huge, and customizable with all your favorite fillings. You can also go lighter and turn it into a hearty salad. We enjoyed ours while relaxing in Adirondack chairs right by the river—feet in the water, full bellies, total bliss. The staff was welcoming, the atmosphere laid-back, and the scenery unbeatable. Honestly, it was so good we didn’t even think to take a photo. This place deserves all five stars!

Stopped in for a bite on our way to Pfeiffer Beach. Loved the general store, and the food was amazing!

Small convenience store bait has all the essentials. Conveniently located on the main road. Only downside is the overpricing.

Best breakfast burrito with bacon. We also had a sweet patry and coffee which were good. Staff was very nice. They also make hot sandwiches but only from 11:00am
