Small Business Shout Out

dorsett general store

Google Maps says “temporarily closed” (May 2024) but verify before you visit. If they are open, amazing sandwiches with unique flavor and flair. Excellent service. Sit outside and watch the town go by.

If they are still closed, Companeros Mexican across the street is another great choice. Huge portions of authentic Mexican food. This little town is bursting with unique restaurants!
