Fritz creek general store. This is a great reason to take a drive out east end road. EXCELLENT kitchen here to pick up food mixed in with a old school post office, general store, beer and wine store and a gas station. Personal favorite is the brisket sandwich. Not much for eating area but we suggest driving a few more miles out to Evaline recreation trails, eating your goods and taking a beautiful stroll. This is a pro tip.
