Dry Creek General Store

I have been coming here for 13 years and will keep coming back. Yesterday I had the most fabulous turkey cranberry sandwich with cabbage and garlic aioli heated up with crispy crispy bread. It was fun to watch the dozens of hummingbirds flitting around and I don’t know anywhere else you can find a bar with such a western saloon vibe and Lainey Wilson crooning on the speakers. It was packed!

Delicious food, friendly staff, cute items to purchase. We enjoy visiting here when we come Healdsburg.

I've visited this excellent place more than 10 times. I tell my friends that it would be hard to find a better delicatessen than here, anywhere. To make it even better, you can not only buy awesome food here, but a three minute drive away is the Dry Creek Winery with its great wines, beautiful lawn and picnic tables. On a blue sky day this is heaven and no, I have no affiliation with either of these fabulous places.

First time at Dry Creek General Store. Got a cheese sandwich with avocado and a coke here on my way to Lake Sonoma. Wide variety of food and drink, plus a nice selection of wine and gifts. Quick, easy efficient customer service and the exterior has an old fashioned look. Will definitely be returning here.

Wow ! The most unique general store I have ever been in ! I wish had one in my back yard. Lol everyone was so kind and helpful. So many things to look at and purchase. The food , omg was next level!!! Great place to grab picnic food and head a minute up the road to Aesthete’s Winery for a picnic by the creak ! Or just sitting out front is also perfect . Five stars here !

This place has really good lemon cake, and I loved the vibe until one of their metal deck chairs with the pattern cut outs cut my leggings and my thigh when I sat on it, I was bleeding and it damaged my brand new Vuori leggings. I tried to let the employees know because it’s a hazard, and they just seemed annoyed until I repeated a third time it cut through my pants and into skin and that’s a safety hazard. They said they’d look at it and five minutes later someone came out, apologized, looked at it then moved it to the other side of the deck. I hesitated to leave a review but they didn’t seem to take it seriously at all, considering it cut me that’s a red flag, so watch where you sit.

Randomly stumbled across this store while out on a wine journey. The place was very nice. I was skeptical about how good the food would be but I was very hungry so I ordered the brisket sandwich. I’m so glad I did. It was amazing. One of the best sandwiches I’ve recently had. Would go back again.

The DRY CREEK STACKER is an Italian meat lover's dream. Bring your appetite; you will need it. Their hot sandwiches are phenomenal (Tuscan Turkey). Their devilled eggs looked so good, but I didn't have room to try them. Looking forward to trying out the next trip. Our view was wonderful sitting outside enjoying the old time theme with a vineyard view.

Stopped in on Saturday when it was cool and damp out to satisfy our cozy fall sandwich cravings. Thankfully I beat the line! Turkey pesto panini and Turkey cranberry panini for the win! Thanksgiving flavors a few days early! Fresh bread, fresh ingredients, balanced proportions, cheesy goodness! I'm craving another sandwich and hope to get another next week! Highly recommend a visit for their sandwiches, and while you're there be sure to check out their picnic provisions and beautiful holiday decor!

First time at the Dry Creek General store. Specifically came for the sandwiches. Pretty busy for the Labor Day holiday but even with the long line...it went pretty fast. The deli case a variety of salads but once they're out, they're out! Ordered the muffuletta sandwich and Italian sub. The muffuletta was amazing! The dutch crunch was soft,l and the sandwich was pretty stacked. My Italian was okay. The bread was kind of hard and the fillings were kind of lacking. It didn't taste bad but nothing over the top. Sat inside cause it was pretty warm but definitely outside if you can for the views!

Old world charm. Great sandwiches which we took for a picnic at Armstrong Redwoods. Kids could sit on real saddles. Lots of interesting gift items for sale. Nice Christmas decorations. Friendly counter people.

The organizational handling of customers has improved immeasurably since my last review. They have more personnel and they make a large number of their sandwiches ready-to-go, leaving more leeway for latté orders! Woo-hoo! The seating is great, covered, and under the nice trees in full view of the bicycle racks! They really did their homework and seem to always be improving the building, which is very appreciated! Great dessert items and friendly service, plenty of parking and perfect place to stop by in on bike or in car in the Dry Creek area.

This place is a solid 2.5. No more, no less. Some of the sandwiches are fairly tasty, and there's always a convenient array of snacks, quality cheeses, crackers, wine, and more. But for what you pay, the ingredients could be better. Also sometimes the sandwiches come burnt. There's a whole deli section where you can buy salads of all types like kale salad, Caesar salad, potato salad, beet salad, etc as well as sautéed veggie mixes, dips, olives, and more. I'd say the food is average 3/5 and service isn't particularly friendly. But it's a convenient place in between wineries and an easy stop to get picnic foods.

Charming bodega....since 1881. Deviled eggs, fab sandwiches and salads ...fits right in there in Winery Heaven. Not cheap, but a wise lunch stop. Plus historic bar.

Cute general store with everything from souvenirs to kitchen supplies to beers (including Pliny the Elder) to non-alcoholic drinks to sandwiches to sides and desserts to jams and spreads. They do get busy (not surprised given the quality of the food), so be prepared to wait a little if you are coming during rush hour times. Great pit stop on the way to Lake Sonoma, for picnic food to take to a local winery, or to enjoy the nice weather outside. Picnic tables outside that can fit up to 8-10 people, chairs on the deck, and parking via spots on the property and street parking. This place was so convenient and good that we came here two days in a row!

Had a Greek and Tuna Salad today. Greek salad was 90% red onions and tomato, no lettuce or feta cheese and extremely salty. Worst Greek Salad I have ever had. Tuna salad was also too salty. Will not go back to eat here!

Finally, a good Italian sub in wine country! The stacker is delicious and the bread is crusty and so good!

Great spot to stop in when visiting Dry Creek Valley - be sure to order ahead or you may have to wait for a while.

I'm laying in bed at a hotel in downtown Napa trying to figure out how I'm going to drive the 40+ miles needed to go back here for their blueberry scone. Who knew scones were delicious? I thought they were, by definition, hard pastry rocks with a weird texture. Turns out, they can be buttery balls of deliciousness. I also had a breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel which was pretty fire (that cheese pull gave everything I needed it to give). If you're in the area, do yourself and your taste buds a favor and grab a scone. As long as you're prepared to find yourself fiendish for one at 11:30pm at some point in the not so distant future.

American Western history since 1881. What a classic old country store and amazing deli. Sandwiches, salads cool eclectic shopping for souvenirs and gifts too. Great coffee stop with fresh made cookies and goodies to get for the day's wine adventures. Sit outside and watch the world go past traveling through the valley. Awesome! Take a walk through the attached bar and really delve into some history here. Absolutely great. Grab a cold pint or glass of local wine. Love this place. Cheers!

New staff, fast friendly The new kid is great, eye contact, smiles, and on his game. It's the lost art in the hospitality world but it's good to see come back !!food is always on point. It's nice to get in and out of here in 10 -15 minutes on a Wednesday.! and I ordered for sandwiches. Love the new ADA parking lot much more driver friendly thank you !! In the bar is now open Wednesday through Sunday 12-6pm?

High end snacks and things Greater food Nice, pleasant staff and environment Neat place for the foodie in your life.

Such a cute little spot to stop by before, after, or even in between wine tastings! Love: The adorable rustic feel, cute souvenirs and picnic foods you can purchase, dog friendly outdoor seating. We came here on a weekend in the mid morning and it wasn't overly busy. There is a parking lot and bathrooms onsite. To get to the bathrooms you have to walk through their bar area? The bar wasn't open when we went so maybe it's an evening thing, but their decor is very unique. The outside area has lots of table space and cute photo opportunities. My husband and I ordered some sandwiches to share along with chips and a huge chocolate chip cookie. Literally the cookie was bigger than my face! Overall, I really loved stopping here. It's very characteristic of California wine country vibes.

If you're anything like me you get hungry while wine tasting and find yourself wishing the wineries had more than pallet cleansing crackers to hold you over... have no fear- the dry creek general store is here! This quaint general store offers an array of tasty options!! I've also stopped by on my way to the lake, a destination for motorcycle rides, and even cycled out there, all because their food is just that good (also being the only food stop for miles helps). Little pricy but worth it. Be prepared to wait in line but there are a ton of trinquits and random things to look at, shop for, and keep you occupied while you wait for your order. When the bar is open it's a fun spot too- though I'm not sure if it is operating anymore because it's been closed the last few times I've stopped by- but take a peek in there anyways just to witness the craziness for yourself. Once your foods ready, snag a seat on the patio (pro tip: have a friend save seats while you order and pick up) for a solid grape vine view while you feast. If you come around lunch hours beware- it's popular and parking can be a little rough. The staff has always been nice enough for a deli style shop, but for such a pricy sandwich I'd hope for a bit more service and or chips and a drink to be included; but like I said- they are tasty ingredients so I'm a returning customer regardless.

Such a quaint store located amongst all the stunning Healdsburg wineries. It is such a convenient location for bikers riding along the Dry Creek Trail or anyone wanting to pick up picnic supplies. I loved the small attention to detail such as the rustic flower arrangements on the tables & the 4th of July decorations all around the store front. The store itself is stocked with countless gourmet treats, drinks & baked goods. There are a variety of hot and cold sandwiches which were all delicious! We visited the store twice in the 3 days we were there & we loved every sandwich we tried. You can tell that they use fresh and high quality ingredients in their sandwiches and they are moist and very flavorful. The standout sandwich for us was the Muffaletta Sandwich! It was amazing! The staff is also very friendly and helpful. We will be back on our next visit to Healdsburg!

The Dry Creek General Store is centrally located if you are going wine tasting. It's an old building with plenty of seating outside and the only lunch spot in that area so everyone flocks there. This place becomes very crowded for this reason. The downsides are that it's VERY crowded, you have to wait in a long line, it always takes a long time to prepare because so many people go here, and it doesn't feel relaxing or personal at all. The deli sandwiches and other items can be a bit pricey as well. If you are doing a wine tour in the area, I would suggest having your driver pick up sandwiches or a meal from another place in advance and have them at a winery that allows outside food. This way you will not overspend, not have to wait in a long line, and spend more time doing what people love to do in that area, sip amazing wine!

I love this place. We went on a weekday afternoon after a wine tasting. They had nice picnic tables outside with beautiful views of vineyards. They had a good selection of lunch items. I got a panini which was tasty but a little greasy. My partner got a tuna salad sandwich which was tasty. I would definitely go back.

We stopped to grab a to go order during our wine tasting tour as recommended by the company we booked with. The staff didn't seem overly enthused about their jobs and came off a bit annoyed in general. The food itself was good but a bit on the expensive side. We all got sandwich's and an order of deviled eggs which was actually one egg and we all laughed. The location and history seemed cool so glad we tried it out once.

Best sandwich I've ever had! Great flavor and service. Went here after wine tasting and sat outside to enjoy the weather.

When you're out running around in Napa going from winery to winery sometimes you just need to stop and get a sandwich and a soda before you hit the next vineyard. Dry Creek General Store is the place to go. Great sandwiches, desserts, jams and other provisions. There are plenty of outdoor tables to sit and enjoy a nice sandwich under a beautiful sunny sky. A fun place for a great lunch.

One of my favorite places! Whenever we come up to go wine tasting, we always make a stop here to grab some yummy food! Besides selling food, they have an adorable store that has so many unique gifts! I love looking to see what new things were added. The shop looks especially cute during the holidays! One thing that I love about their menu is that they have so many options. They have a great gluten free bread, which many of my friends who are gluten intolerant like. My go to is the turkey pesto sandwich. It's always fresh! The waits are sometimes long, but definitely worth it in my opinion. The parking lot is very small, but most people park along the road outside. I definitely recommend stopping by here for food to take picnicking at a local winery!

Pricey for the selection. You pay a premium for accessibility- the Dry Creek Stories is well positioned off the main road and you pay for ease of access to the wineries without making the return Trek to downtown Healdsburg. Cost-aside, I did enjoy their turkey and pesto panini. It was rustic-baguette forward; which did it's part in soaking up the wine from multiple tastings. I also, purchased a blackberry crumble; which has good flavor but was a bit dry for my liking. Would return to grab a sandwich to-go and picnic on their covered patio. Especially if I'm not feeling the drive downtown and fighting weekend parking!

A Reuben is the sandwich I use to measure an establishment. Haven't had one this GOOD in years. Enjoyed it with a Pliny the Elder. I would definitely make the trip back again for a Reuben sandwich.

Killer spot for a sandwich and a great view. Highly recommend if your wine tasting in dry creek valley or just taking a cruz. Next time im doing a build your own instead of the creations. And ill pass on the sauce they put on everything as well....little to sloppy/spicy. Not cheap but very proper.

If you're visiting wine country in North Sonoma County, be sure to stop by this establishment. I rarely post reviews, but if you're hungry for lunch, do yourself a favor and have one of their sandwiches. I had the French Dip and it is seriously one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Top it off with a hazy IPA from the bar immediately next-door and attached to the general store or any beverage of your choice.

I used to love coming here every summer but the food quality has gone down. Like there used to be fresh basil on the Italian sandwiches and now there is basil flakes from a spice bottle on them. The service was bizarre, apparently you can only get hot sandwiches after 3? Same ingredients, less work for a cold sandwich. I couldn't follow the logic on that one. If you customize your sandwich prepare yourself for a series of stupid questions. For example, can I have Dijon mustard. Yes. Would you like both? Both what? Both mustards the one that comes on the sandwich (yellow) and Dijon No, one mustard will suffice. shook

The team behind the sandwich counter here is a 10/10. I got the Muffelta special and asked if they had hot sauce or something spicy, they didn't. BUT the team made me a little chili oil since I had asked and it was so incredibly good I had just had to write a review about it. We come up here pretty often for wine tasting and this will be my go to sandwich spot from here on out!

We've been coming to the Dry Creek General Market for many years. The food has always been good although sometimes they would mess up our order that we had called in. Yesterday it took us an hour before someone answered the phone for an order. When we finally got someone they said it would be ready at 12:40. we arrived at 12:40 and had to wait 25 minutes for our order. We were then late for our 1pm appointment. And I have to say our sandwich was mainly bread and very little meat and cheese. Very disappointing. I think I am done with them. Such a shame.

If you're like me and begun your wine tasting tour before eating a good meal, this stop will cure your cravings. Nice stop to pick up a bite to eat. Sandwiches are all good. I had the tuna. My husband has the chicken salad and my girl had the egg sandwich. Down it down with some chips and your hangry issues some subside. Enjoy Sonoma!

Working at a winery on Dry Creek Road, the Dry Creek General Store is pretty much my only lunch option. I eat there about once per week, sometimes more. The prices are high - it's a wine country tourist attraction. Prices aside, the food is quite good. Some of my favorites are: True Italian sandwich - the simplicity of this sandwich is underscored by the high quality ingredients. Journeyman salami and aged provolone - chef's kiss. 4/5 Beet salad - I love their beet salad. Simple, but flavorful beets. 4/5 BLTA sandwich - I prefer this on toasted sliced sourdough. 4/5

Good sandwiches. Good staff. Lots of tourists so beware. A great place to grab some grub before heading out to the lake.

Okay, our experience is limited -- only two visits, but we've been happy with our purchases each time. The Ambiance is fun -- love the saddles in the bar area. The folks were friendly and helpful. The sandwiches and salads made for a perfect lunch while tasting wine at Bella Wine Caves.

A group of four of us stopped at this general store between our winery reservations. I am so glad we did. not only is the store ADORABLE but the food was really, really good. I had a prosciutto and gruyere panini and my husband had the tri tip sandwich. Our sandwiches were delicious and the perfect amount of food. I did see they sold VooDoo chips (my fave!) but I opted for their homemade cookie instead. They are huge! Our friends were also pleasantly surprised by how good their sandwiches were. This is the perfect stop between winery reservations to grab something to eat! PS plenty of outdoor seating.

Ehhh - we wanted a change from our usual sandwich stop and came here. Hubby wanted the turkey cran and I asked the cashier what her favorite was (pulled pork). Both were already made and had been sitting in the cooler. We grabbed a Snapple to share and got a "small container" of quinoa salad. I was tempted to get the carrot cake (1 inch square) but it was $3.95! Our total $46 for lunch!!!! Ridiculous!! We sat outside to eat- Hubby's sandwich burned, yet cold on the inside (it had been made earlier and sat in the cooler). Mine was warm but not hot - and the bread tasted off maybe because it was chilled then heated - it just was bland tasted "stale" but I know it was probably just the combination of cold and reheating or whatever they did. It was ok. The bread at the one end was soggy and fell apart - hubby had same experience as the sandwiches were positioned upright and the juices collected at one side. The quinoa salad was off- we ordered a small container she gave me a pint.... We each had a bite and it wasn't worth eating further... the combination of cojeta cheese and quinoa with the dressing just didnt do it for us. In a nut shell - local peeps that won't return. Let the tourists get sucked into the charm lol

We were excited to try the deli per a recommendation. Noon New Year's Eve--closed. General store closed, but bar open. Extremely unfriendly, sad for them, 6 of us can spend $$ they won't get to see. Don't come to Sonoma New Year weekend. Too much is closed.

I cannot begin to express how delicious the sandwiches my boyfriend and I tried at this place. We ordered the pesto panini and the prosciutto sandwich, both were mind blowing! We also ordered a slice of apple pie, which was also very delicious. There was a lot of merchandise to look and purchase, and they had a decent beverage selection that went perfectly with their sandwiches. The view outside was breathtaking, and there was a lot of covered seating to choose from, which was perfect for the heat. The downside was the pesky flies that harass you while you eat on the porch, but aside from that everything was great.

Stopped by here for lunch. They have everything here that you would expect a general store to have. Decent choice of food options, and if you'd like to purchase some trinkets or home merchandise, this store has a bunch to choose from as well. We decided to grab a couple of their deviled eggs and some deli sandwiches. The deviled eggs tasted freshly made and came in two flavors - the classic and the balsamic, both delicious. For my sandwich, I decided to get the chicken salad club which was pretty good. It was a nice combination of a traditional chicken salad with all the fixings of a club sandwich. The sandwich comes loaded and is more than enough to fill you up. The only thing to be aware of is that there is a lot of mayo in the chicken salad which makes the sandwich pretty messy to at. The location of this store is conveniently in the midst of a bunch of different wineries so it's a solid choice to come to if you want a snack in between your tastings (recommended!).

3 to 3.5 is about right. Sandwiched that look like they were made a day or two before put on a panini press. Deli "salad" selections that are obviously not made daily. But it's pretty much the only game in the area and the views when you sit outside are hard to beat.

Strange, I've reviewed Dry Creek General Store before, but my review is gone. Oh well.... I'll base it off my last visit today. Stopped by and ordered a sandwich. Lots to choose from. Most are already pre-made, then they put it in the panini grill. Had the cranberry/turkey, and it was scrumptious! Tasted like a dessert! There are picnic-style tables outside with a beautiful view, so make sure you take some time to relax and enjoy the scenery.

Sunday, April 16: Yelp listed OPEN hours for the Dry Creek General Store, Google listed is as closed so I decided to call ahead to verify. The message on their answering machine gave an option to order a sandwich and pick it up. When I pressed that option I then got another message that they weren't able to take a phone order at that time but come to the store and order in person. I went to the store but it was cordoned off with yellow tape and definitely not open. Why didn't they take the time to change their phone message? Very disappointing and definitely a black mark against their customer service.

turkey cranberry was the soggiest panini ever and for $17 :( I was not impressed !!!!

Uh-0h, I hope it was a one-off and not a trend downhill. The bacon avocado turkey sandwich with peperoncini I rely on and drive out of my way to get, turned out to be a cold-case turkey and American cheese on a doubtful baguette, no avo and bacon. Aghast, I'll give them one more chance, repeating super-explicitly, but then that's it. Bummer.

Its only half open so only half a review. If they would open the bar in would give them a full review. Why did the dry creek bar close, I work nearby and I don't even know the truth, all unknown is the gallo family owns this bar and she has enough money to fix it if it were a bathroom issue, make an ada complaint solution if it were that, and she's a good enough person to hire staff that won't over serve or serve minors so WHAT'S THE DEAL. the dry creek store is delicious but too busy and way over priced... it has had the monopoly on food along the wine road forever but now you have options so look into them. Sure it's a great place to stop and picnic but you cant drink there anymore so the patio isn't all that special anymore (it used to be a great hamgout) so what are your other options? Theres a cheese plate at Papapietro Perry and a way better patio/view...., some wineries serve pizza, make sandwiches, and several have mini fridges full of the same salami and cheese you're buying anyway. I'm drawing a blank at the moment but call around or yelp it out?

I had the stacker, a chocolate chip cookie and potato salad! All were excellent! The place was much busier than I anticipated on a holiday weekend but worth a stop when driving past!

I drove up to Healdsburg this morning to check out DCGS. This store was established in 1881! I was expecting a small dusty old shack, dark with low ceilings and a lopsided roof. It was nothing like that! It was a farmhouse long style building with a front porch that serves as outdoor seating. The inside was spacious that has a part gift shop and part sandwich counter. The left side has general merchandise like kitchen supplies like cups, utensils, tote bags, figurines, picnic baskets, etc. There's a section that sells drinks, cheeses, and salami. You make your way to the deli counter which serves both hot & cold sandwiches, breakfast items, and drinks menu. I ordered the Tuscan Turkey & Bark Shark Brisket sandwich. Sandwiches range from $12-$15 but is large with lots of filling and is worth the price. Good tasting sandwich however for that price, I expected it to be made fresh in front of you. It was however pre-made in the glass case and they just heat it up for you. Since it was pre-made, the sandwich is a little soggy. I ordered a chai (not good), bought some drinks and chips and came to about $40. Definitely not a cheap store but worth a visit if you're in the area. This store is designated as a historic landmark in 1979.

Great food options for the hungry traveler. Found a delicious spinach quiche in the glass case sold by the slice. The kale salad was excellent. There were lots of fresh food/drink offerings and a really nice country style gift shop. Outdoor seating was available and very popular.

I really wanted to throw down some cash at this adorable store.. arrived at 4:30 and tried to order a coffee but was told that the machine had been cleaned so NO. This is the 2nd and last time that I will be treated like I'm an inconvenience to the employees. BE SURE TO STOP HERE IF TOU WANT TO BE TREATED LIKE GARBAGE
