Great place to stop for a break.large pull-a-side section of road with tons of parking for even the larger vehicles.
Fantastic food - prepared fresh and hot or tasty and ready from the cabinet.

Thank you guys for great food and relaxation.

It's in the middle of nowhere, and you might expect the food and so on to be mediocre. Not so! Tasty and ok priced

Great stop for a coffee and good food. Lots of motorcycles and nice cars on car club runs. Clean and nice.

Food is great, staff wonderful and worth a stop for lunch or just a break. Hurry before it's sold!

Stopped for a coffee and toasted sandwich. Coffee was beautifully made and toasted sandwich was delicious - great value would definitely stop in again.

Very poor customer service. Quite rude in fact. Did not feel welcome at all. Left without ordering anything.

So glad we stopped here for lunch. Friendly staff, delicious sandwiches, rolls and drinks, plus unique gift ideas to buy. But my favourite detail was the art on the walls by 'Monique' - especially the one in the bathroom! They had a real warmth to them, I can't quite put my finger on. Great pit stop - thanks guys!

A favourite stop over for us travelling down the country. We never go past it. Delicious home made food, good selection from menu board and cabinet. All reasonably priced. The staff are always friendly, the service is quick and the customer only toilets are clean. Check out the crafts they sell also. My husband always finds something very different to buy. Last time we stopped he bought a crafted wood large chessboard with a slideout portion containing cheese knives etc. All crafts are also reasonably priced. We were sorry to see last week when we stopped that the owners are selling the business after 20yrs. We wish you well on your new adventure.

COVID check in and hand sanitizer but no working dryer or paper towels in the loos. Date scone was huge - enough for 2 people and very pleasant. It was reasonably busy when we stopped at 10.30am.

Something about a quaint, roadside cafe on a country road. The food seems nice, coffee better and pleasant view makes you want to stay just that extra 5 minutes longer than you planned. The Dam is no different, best bacon and egg pie, and best iced coffee in.town? !

Partners big breakfast came with cold pre-cooked sausage, Luke warm canned tomatoes, over salted bacon, soggy bread and underdone eggs. My toastie was luke warm and milkshake not cold. Sorry but very poor service. Would not recommend stopping here.
