Pros & cons

PROS

  • One-stop for groceries, deli subs, pizza, ice cream, and fudge
  • Stocked with firewood, propane exchange, bait, beer/wine, and souvenirs

CONS

  • No indoor restroom; typically just an outdoor porta‑potty
  • Gets crowded and tight inside during peak times

Overview

Grandma Faye's is the classic Hocking Hills supply stop—part convenience store, part deli, part souvenir trove. Open daily 8 AM–9 PM, it’s where hikers and cabin‑goers swing in for last‑minute groceries, hot food, and a sweet treat before or after the trails.

What You’ll Find

  • Made‑to‑order subs, pizzas, daily lunch specials, and hand‑scooped ice cream, shakes, and homemade fudge.
  • A surprisingly broad mix for a small shop: fresh‑cut steaks, fresh ground chuck, plus carryout beer and wine.
  • Camping essentials—firewood (often touted as the area’s best prices), propane exchange, and 24‑hour bait service.
  • Souvenirs galore: T‑shirts, candles, wind chimes, jewelry, toys, postcards, geodes, dream catchers, and more.
  • Services like lotto and a wildlife agent counter.

Good to Know

  • Restrooms: Expect only a porta‑potty outside. If you want running water, use the park restrooms at major trailheads; the Old Man’s Cave Visitor Center is about a mile north.
  • Space can feel tight, and lines build when only one or two registers are open.
  • They take credit cards and have on‑site parking.

When It’s Best

  • Weekdays or early (8–10 AM) are mellow; late‑morning to mid‑afternoon gets busier.
  • Saturdays peak hard around early‑ to mid‑afternoon—plan quick in‑and‑outs or go early.

Who Will Love It

  • Families and cabin groups topping off snacks and s’mores kits.
  • Anglers and campers needing bait, propane, or firewood.
  • Souvenir hunters who want a wide, fun selection without trekking into town.

Bottom Line

Not a full supermarket, but for trail fuel, hot deli items, and “forgot it at home” supplies, this place delivers—and the fudge and ice cream are easy wins.
