There are so many great mom and pop restaurants in Iowa that it’s always easy to find one nearby. No matter how much you love your local favorite, there are a few spots in the Hawkeye State that are worth a drive from nearly anywhere in Iowa – and the General Store Pub is one of them. If you haven’t yet dined on their riverside deck, indulged in their Bailey’s Roasted Marshmallow and dug into the Tackle Box appetizer, you’ve got to make it a point to head here as soon as possible.

The General Store Pub is located in the small town of Stone City, Iowa.

The Berry Goudaburger is a crowd favorite. It's topped with smoked gouda, bacon, carmelized onions and their signature "RazQ" BBQ sauce.
Speaking of RazQ, the General Store makes some fantastic BBQ pulled pork or ribs.

They offer three difference sauces - a classic BBQ, Twang (teriyaki BBQ) and RazQ (berry bbq). You can't go wrong with any of them!
Any pub would be incomplete without a few signature drinks, and the General Store Pub does them right.
