I was excited to visit even though I wasn't super hungry. I got a dam shake and it was awful. Old, freezer-burnt ice cream with no flavor. My wife got some dam pie and it was decent. The service was melancholy, and the vibe was just depressing. I'd try it again and get a burger with a side of onion rings.

Chocolate Caramel Pecan pie was incredible! Excellent prices too. Come here if you want to get the nostalgic cafe feeling, with the bonus of an incredible view to walk off your meal.

Great old style burgers, with fried onions. Their pie is the best I've ever had, besides my grandma's.

Stop for the pie, and grab a cheeseburger while you're there. Owners are personable and hard working. DO NOT SKIP THE PIE!!!! 🤤

Really cool little spot. We just had desert but the Milk shakes were great. Great spot for a family outing with the Dam and park very close.

Absolutely best pie in town! Love the small town feel and so thankful for the hard work the owners put into this place and their pies!

The best part of taking a long bike ride from Mankato to Rapidan, is stopping by the dam store for pie. I know that cancels out the bike ride, but the pie is just that good.

The place has bygone era charm. A small eatery out in the country, it has some appeal if you like that sort of thing. The food was ok. Nothing special. The pies are very good. Service was horrible. I stood at the register waiting to pay for 7 minutes. Every single employee walked by me and smiled, but I still had to wait. They only accept cash or local checks. The pie and the milkshakes are the best part.

Drove 2 hours for an over-hyped burger. I mean, if you're in Mankato it's probably worth the drive. But any further than that is probably a waste of time and money.
