Dave's Cafe Reviews
We just ate here Sunday, November 5th, 2023. We stopped in on our way back from Split Rock to the Twin Cities. Every year we have a dilemma of where to eat and just happened to take the Willow River exit. We found this little gem of a restaurant in the back of the gas station out front. We had the patty melt with coffee. Our waitress was attentive and kind. The price was incredible! It was under $14 for 2 patty melts and 2 coffees. We will definitely stop here next year!
My family and I stopped on our way to Duluth thinking a little hometown cafe would be nice for a lunch stop. Nobody greeted us as we came in so we felt super out of place. The burgers tasted like frozen patties that were microwaved and the fries had absolutely no flavor. Really bland food.

Dave's Cafe offers a very good breakfast value, highlighted by a spectacular ham and cheese omelet at reasonable prices. Situated in a truck stop atmosphere, this hidden gem serves delicious food like the patty melt with coffee. The restaurant also features great southern style cooking at crazy low prices. The service is attentive, cheerful, and efficient, although sometimes a bit slow due to a lack of workers wanting to work. Customers appreciate the option of 1/2 portions for a few dollars less. This well-kept secret in Pine County has truck parking and is worth a visit for great food and service. With everything from giant, plate-sized pancakes to the mushroom Swiss burger, there is always something tasty to enjoy.
