I have eaten at many "burger and more" establishments and I've got to admit: this is among the best. The burgers are tender, juicy, and flavored to perfection. The buns are well-chosen for their natural complement to the meat. On a recent trip, I tried the meatloaf on the buffet....just like Mom use to make! The wait staff is friendly and the owners even came out and spent some time with my wife and me. The overall experience was like having an excellent meal with a friend. I live about a 100 miles away but I look forward to getting back to the Dam Grill. read more

The Cute little place with good service and good food. Very down home kind of feel with a western theme on the walls. We were greeted right away and our waitress was sweet. The fries needed some seasoning or salt for my taste and my burger was a bit on the dry side but a little ketchup and mayo fixed that up. read more

We really like this place and have been back several times. It's close to us, the food is…read moreconsistently good, and it has become one of those easy places to go when we can't decide what we're in the mood for. The first time we went, we tried the gumbo and it was delicious. It comes out seriously hot--both temperature-wise and spice-wise--but in a good way. They told us they have someone from New Orleans come in once a week to make the roux and bases for their soups and gumbo, and whatever they're doing, it works. One of my favorite things on the menu is actually the avocado salad. Add a few shrimp to it and it's a fantastic meal. I've also had the grilled seafood and usually gravitate toward the salmon with vegetables. My wife loves their fried okra, and we've tried several of the fried seafood options as well. Everything has always tasted fresh and well prepared. Interestingly, we have several friends who go there specifically for the burger. We still haven't tried it, but we've heard enough people rave about it that apparently we need to. The drinks are good too, and when it's just the two of us, we really enjoy sitting at the bar and having dinner there. That's probably what we like most about this place--you can go all-in on fried seafood and enjoy the guilty pleasure, or have a salad with grilled shrimp or salmon and leave feeling like you behaved yourself. Either way, we've always had a good meal.
