Woolford Store is the PLACE for everything. Locals will tell you they serve a mean cheesesteak. I get one made with cooked mushrooms instead of meat & I'll be the first to tell you I'm not a fan of mushrooms, but this mushroom steak is the BEST! They have quite the breakfast, lunch and dinner menu. Pick up a fishing license, bait/tackle, a new rod, some lunch meat, homemade salads, "beach fries", beer, wine, ice, groceries and propane while you're there! Dine in or carry out. The grill closes an hour prior to the store closing, so don't wait to call! (Fryer is open til closing.) 410-228-3020
