Other published opinions
The Age Cheap Eats 2008 "Would you like some good old-fashioned hospitality with that? MGS opened in 1924 and the revamped cafe, foodstore and cellar door still has old-world country charm in spades"
Age Good Food Guide 2008 "Boasting more than 80 years of history, the fully re-built Merricks General Store has retained its reputation as a meeting place for locals and travellers"
The Age Cheap Eats 2007 "For decades Merricks' weatherboard general store sold pies, the Australasian Post and smokes. These days, the pie filling is slow-cooked lamb goulash, the reading material Gourmet Traveller and smokes are considered up there with the axis of evil."
