Once a hotspot for fish and chips, Rob’s Fish ‘n Chips has faced disappointing declines in quality and service under new management. Diners lament dry, greasy offerings and unfriendly staff. In contrast, Dalyston General Store has emerged as a local favorite, impressing patrons with fresh, generously-sized fish and nostalgic potato cakes. The impressive burgers also evoke memories of simpler times, boasting juicy patties and authentic flavors.

Under new management. Fish and chips are excellent. Not greasy. Nice and crisp and not overcooked. Store is very clean. Very friendly and polite service.
Dalyston is on the South Gippsland Highway between Kilcunda and Wonthaggi. There is a pub and a General Store and a bit more, but its small. If you want to know why Hamburgers ever became a thing, how Bunnings-like franchises such as Maccas and Hungry Jacks were spawned, you need to go back to the source. Somehow, at Dalyston General Store they have captured a folk memory and passed it down from owner to new owner that faithfully recalls this early 20th century culinary event. Authentic, not falling apart, not ending in molten orange cheese indistinghishable from the wrapping you accidentally ate,, a true working man 's or working woman 's lunch, substantial, balanced, you can taste the beef, the right amount of beetroot, no pineapple (well done there) and firm buns. I will keep coming back to marvel and enjoy the wait while each one is turned out from scratch to order. Time to catch up with myself, time to experience uncoiffed 1950s rural roadstop authenticity, time to browse the headlines of the The Sentinel Times while successfully avoiding the gravitational pull of my phone. Five stars for their burger with the lot .
Your food is great. I've just moved here and your lovely people and will be back soon.
