I used to eat there as a kid...are the fries still amazing?

Yes all the food is great. Don't forget about the pies.

Is the dam store closed for the season? I'm pretty sure it is. Can someone update the google hours?!

Yes, it is.

When do they close for the year?

Open April 1 - October 31

Do you know if you can pitch your tent down on the sand here instead of at the actual camp site if you pay for a camp site

As for as i know, campsite only

Came here b/c the reviews were good. Do not recommend, because it was a mistake, slow service, food was blah, and the waitress didn't really do a good job serving us. She spent a long time talking to a man who was sitting at the counter/bar. We were out of water and she didn't notice.. since she was talking. Wouldn't recommend, especially for small Children.

Excellent pie. We had the sour cream raisin and the banana cream and they were both outstanding. The dam burger was good, but it was so thick that it kept wanting to roll off the bun. The service was exceptional. Everyone there was notably friendly.

Cute little cafe with the sweetest owner. My hamburger tasted just like the way my mom made them. 😊 The pie selection was amazing. Get yourself out here and try it out. Bring cash! Can’t wait to bring family here when they visit. There is a playground across the street for young kids to play.

Nice little out of the way place. It was crowded when we were there. It is not real big so if there is a crowd expect that it will be a bit tight. Food here is great. Onion rings are best we have had anywhere. Shakes are awesome. Pie is really good. Atmosphere is old fashioned and service is fantastic. Stop by if you are hungry
