Westport General Store: Too Much

by Stephen D » Sun Sep 19, 2010 12:01 pm

So, I went to Westport General Store the other night. I found:

The hospitality to be too country. An old friend took the time to sit and chew the fat with us.

The portions to be too generous. I couldn't finish my fish sammich, it was that large.

The atmosphere was too rural. I mean, with a drive out to the sticks, you'da thought theyd put in something urbane.

The ownership too on top of it. The blue cheese cole-slaw, too tasty. The country ham, too salty. The fried bologna appetizer, too homey.

Service was too friendly. The woman acted like she knew us.

Oh, and the drink list- who was the moron that dreamt that one up? And wines? Accessible Bordeaux, really?

All-in-all, what were they thinking? That they could just do what they want and people would simply come?


Don't tell a soul about this place... I want it to myself!

Are any of their wines from Local/Near Local Vineyards?

Thankfully, no.

We only do sweet whites well. We are too wet...

Our visit to The Westport General Store last fall was excellent - we can't wait to come visit again. Joe told me you visited The Blind Pig with your son recently - I'm sorry I missed you !! We'll be visiting you very soon with some friends. Keep up the great work Will, we love the General Store !! :D

Hey Mike. Loved our lunch at the Blind Pig. The space is ultra cool and the Boudin bacon sandwich was awesome.

It was funny because I ran into Joe at Bargain Supply and he looked familiar and then it hit me.. We were in Food and Dining together. So We ventured over for Lunch. I look forward to an evening with you guys.
