Rapidan Dam Cafe - Mankato

Our first time. Our burgers were delicious. But the pie selection was very limited because of the publicity about the cafe recently on a local tv channel, nice weather, and the cafe is closing for the season at end of October. We had slices of Sour Cream Raspberry and Candy Apple pies.

A little off the main drag but not far and very worth it! Small little place, staff does an amazing job of putting out a ton of food. Only a few tables inside but there's a park that has tables too. Cute spot next to the river and the dam. Amazing food very fresh and tasty. Very reasonable prices. Bring cash no cards accepted. No wifi (not a complaint nice to be unplugged at such a beautiful location) and their telephone is an old fashion pay phone. Plenty parking. Only downside is it's not closer to home

It's a great place to grab a bite! The people are very friendly and the atmosphere is that of an old country diner. Some improvements could be made in this area, but all in all, it's a great little place.

I've been eating here since I was little and it hasn't changed. The food and pie is immaculate but it's truly the atmosphere and nostalgia that makes this restaurant special.

Excellent food, great pie, quaint atmosphere and very pleasant service.
