2 months agoI give 5 stars for food, service, and atmosphere even though the place was older because it’s what gives it the “home” and “you’re family” feel. This was our first time but we were treated like regulars. Our waitress, Charlie, was our immediate friend. We ordered chicken with gravy, home fries and a biscuit, and French toast with blueberries, eggs and bacon. Everything was delicious! I was surprised how good and tender the chicken dish was. Will definitely come back!

5 months agoIf you like old Florida atmosphere , you'll love the Dam Diner. Service is always great and the food very good. Last visit i had a ham and cheese omelet with the typical extras. Nothing fancy here, just a fun place.

a year agoThis spot in Ocklawaha has been here for many years, but today was my first time there, and it was worth the trip. I ordered my usual go to when trying a new place, biscuits & gravy, with home fries, and sausage...it was one of the biggest portions I've ever seen. The food was great, the servers were friendly, and attentive, and it just had a relaxing atmosphere. I would highly recommend giving this place a shot if you get the opportunity 😎

a year agoWe had lunch at the Duck’s Dam Diner on a weekend in October, 2023. It’s a smaller and older building. It obviously started as a much smaller building. But it looks like additions over time enlarged the building. It’s tight, but has old time character. The food was decent at a fair price. Our waitress who I think was named Sue kind of came across as being a little put off or such at first, but then turned out to be a nice lady with us. They were pretty busy when we were there, so I understand how she might have felt rushed and under pressure. All in all, our meal turned out just fine. Not the best we have ever had, but good enough that we wouldn’t think twice about returning again. They have two rest rooms. One for men and as one might guess, one for women. I’m sure this probably helps limit wait times. The parking area is basically dirt or sand. So folks who may have steadiness issues, may want to be careful to steady themselves. After our meal, we even visited the park next door and hung out with a small Alligator. I guess our experience was what we expected to an extent. I enjoy country establishments that are not fancy. Duck’s Dam was definitely that. I’m sure we’ll be back in the future.
