Nice little stop bf heading to Sarina, hot chips were great, I also bought some local honey. Nice grounds with large duck pond, you can stay overnight van $10 pn.

Def worth stopping for, food make on the fly, good quality ingredients and good flavors. Bang for buck reasonable rates, comparable to servo prices. Drive way creeps up on u, trailers and heavy loads need to brake hard to get the drive way.

This cafe/overnight van spot is a must stop! $10 for overnight van stays. Toilet. And delicious food! Can highly recommend the Beef burger and breaky burger. Great little pond area for kids to run around. Will absolutely stop here on our way back down the coast. Nicest service in qld! Time saving Tip: have the driver drop you off to order food while they continue 6 mins up the road to refuel at the BP. Food will be ready upon their return!

What a great little find! Good food, great staff and a pretty location! Next to a waterhole filled with lilies and surrounded by shady trees, there’s plenty of seats to sit and soak up the atmosphere! Dedicated parking for caravans and plenty of car spots make it an easy choice to call in. Toilets were spotlessly clean as well.

I did a road trip to Brisbane and stop here for lunch, really enjoyed the fish burger ! The food was tasty and the staff were friendly. Prices were fair for the quality. The place has a nice relaxed vibe, lovely garden—perfect for a short break. Would definitely go back.

Food was freshly cooked with a reasonable amount of salad. Service was fast and friendly. Perhaps a bit expensive? I'm sure you normally get chips with a meal for that price. Good stop on the way to Mackay from Rockhampton

Great place. Stayed over night. Great staff and atmosphere friendly. Food beverages, the best I've had in some time. Definitely coming again. Congratulations Flaggy Rock.

Beautiful little spot to pull up and have a break! Caravan parking area with plenty of room next to a good sized waterhole filled with water lilies with lots of shady trees and tables to enjoy the view! The staff at the cafe were so cheerful and friendly and the food was great! The coffee was great as well! Toilets on site to round out the perfect pit stop!
