We stopped by and really enjoyed the short tour and samples. Of course we bought some potato chips and well as a cool magnet. Kids will like it.

This place was very hard to find, they need better signage. And w/the name, you'd think they were off Rte 11, not so. Also, am very irritated now to read all the reviews that talk about free samples; there were no free samples the day we toured! And we bought a variety bag of chips as well as dips, so... More

I learned about Rt 11 Potato Chips by seeing them in local stores while on vacation in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. It took some research to find out where they were located and that they had a factory tour. For directions, go to http://www.rt11.com and hit the "Come Visit Us" tab. They are located near Mt. Jackson, Va, not Middletown....they moved... More

We saw the sign advertising this on the side of the road. We really had no clue what we would be visiting.... It was a ton of fun. Very information, tasty samples surround you inside the "factory" viewing area. Don't be put off by the outside appearance of the building as I would think you would be very pleasantly surprised.

This place was confusing to find, since there are no signs. When we finally got there, what a disappointment. The "tour" was about 2 minutes. In a travel book, it said you could sample as many kinds of chips as you want and eat as much as you want. Wrong. There were 2 little baskets of chips, 1 basket had... More

We always make it a point to visit the "small guys" when we go somewhere new. This might have been one of the best finds in all of our travels. Although you are not allowed in the manufacturing room, there are windows to view all that is going on. They have everything from traditional to super hot chips. They offer... More
