E.W. Thomas Grocery Store and DMV

Best fried chicken ever! They have some grocery items that you can't find in other stores. Prices are reasonable on most items. Friendly front end staff.

Found this beautiful little gem by accident! Awesome chicken, wonderful variety of desserts, and the friendliest people n service I've seen in a while. Definitely keeping it on my google maps for a place to stop and have a nice little picnic with my wife

Fried chicken was the best! I have not had friend chicken that tasted that good in a long time! Service was great, very friendly. Fried chicken, southern green beans, and Mac and cheese was fantastic! This place is a hidden gem on my maps.
Highly recommend

Always love shopping here. Quick and easy. Plus the best fried chicken in the county.

Best grocery store in Fluvanna County, VA. FAMILY OWNED AND GREAT WORKERS. Meats are fresh cut. Why go anywhere else for your meats and poultry amongst other things

Great Deli !! Carries BoarsHead, quality fresh homemade salads and the fried chicken is to die for. You've got to try lunch here.. They even have Fresh sandwiches and Salads in cold case. Fresh Bakery Breads and Amish goods as well.
Great DMV Select as well. This store has been around since I was a kid and has never been a disappointment.
Thank for sll the years of great customer service and quality goods.

DMV hours are NOT CORRECT.
Hours are Monday-Friday 9-4
Saturday 9-12.

EW Thomas is a great little Country grocery store. They have all they basics, plus grain and feed for the farm animals. Best of all, their fried chicken is the absolute best I have ever tasted, pair it with their mac and cheese green beans and it's as good as it gets.

We go here when in the area...great fried chicken and good sides...FYI...they have taylor ham (pork roll) ...had our meal on the picnic tables under the shade tree...very peaceful!

Stopped in for lunch and couldn't have been happier. I ordered a cheeseburger sub. Homemade before you. From the parking lot it looks like any small town grocery store. As you make your way down the isle to the back of the store you realize that its much more. A step back in time, you're greeted with a smile and southern hospitality. Clearly family run and you're treated as such. As I waited for my order I explored a few shelves full of items that had to be the secret ingredients to many grandmother's signature dishes. Certainly things you can't find in the huge chain stores. Whether grocery shopping, getting a bite to eat or getting hot prepared fried chicken for 70 people, I highly recommend E. W. Thomas.

Always good to shop at a family owned store! Friendly staff. Good selection! Great fried chicken!

My favorite place to eat lunch! The Deli serves hot meals everyday and the employees are always so friendly!

The store itself is grade A fantastic.
I went there this morning however for the DMV Select located inside the store. I got there at 9:00am when the DMV opened and was out by 9:15. The key is getting there early.

Very convenient location, great deli especially the fried chicken and my daughter loves the mac and cheese. Also has a DMV Select office.

Update: June 17, 2022
Had to renew my registration on a Saturday and the DMV was very efficient. Always a great experience at EW Thomas.

Very friendly country grocery that has an amazing butcher shop, deli and wine selection (they have Mead!). You never know what you'll find, their selections are really diverse. Oh, and DMV on-site as well.

Great local grocery store! Amazing breakfast and lunch in the back of the store. The DMV Select location is great too, you just have to get there early (0630-0700) to get a 1-10 number in line for when it opens (0900). At least while all of this COVID stuff is going on.

Family owned. Really great place to shop for groceries that isn't too far from home. They also have specials- one being senior day Wednesdays. They are also friendly and reasonably priced. Best meat in town

I absolutely love this store. The employees are so nice and kind. Very good service from really amazing people. Love the selection of food. Small town feel and warm welcoming folks. Love love love

Home town friendly neighborhood store in Palmyra. All employees are very friendly and extremely helpful and that's how you bring customers back to your store!! Love those rotisserie chickens and the chicken salad in the deli is delicious, including an aisle that you can get products for $1.00. Plus much more goodies and great deals!!

Wonderful country grocery store!! Very handy to pick up items without having to go to Charlottesville. Their produce is very good, their meats are really good quality. The people that work there are very friendly and helpful.
