Out West General Store is way out in the West Valley in a little town known as Waddell. This mom-and-pop shop has been nothing short of a labor of love since its inception almost two decades ago. In fact, it totally embraces that "out west" locale in its name. It's been serving up a little bit of just about everything since at least 2005, including some delicious food in its cafe. Check it out and see why this Waddell general store might be our favorite!

Seriously, though, when we say Out West General Store has a little bit of everything, we mean it.

And so do the owners!

And you'll always want to stop, because fun, new things are being added to the store's inventory every day!

Need a cowboy hat? Out West got you. Need cards? Yep. Basic day-to-day staples? Definitely. Shoes? Wallets? Bandanas? Clothing? Hoodies? Check-check-check. Tack and feed? You betcha. Farrier supplies? Duh.

And to further illustrate the "what don't they have?" charm of Out West General Store, allow us to point to one more (wonderful) thing: the eatery!

This cute little restaurant called the Cowboy Café is located within the general store in Waddell, AZ, and is a true hidden gem, perfect for a no-frills solo outing for some me-time or a fun day out with the family.

And hoo, boy, if the snacks and things here aren't worth the drive out on their own...

...the pizza is always fresh and hot, with melty cheese that stretches across the table as you grab your slice. Other menu items include hot dogs, chili dogs, and fry bread. Enjoy pretzels, shaved ice, tacos, and SO much more.

Oh, and the sandwiches are excellent, too.

Made fresh and delicious, Out West General Store might become a new favorite place for a quick bite. The menu is much larger than you might expect, and you can't miss the ice cream at the end, so be sure to leave room!

Out West General Store also offers several convenient services, like a notary Monday through Saturday and copy/fax services as well.

Seriously, what don't they have here? You'll be hard-pressed to leave without anything!
