Locals and road trippers rave about The Flywheels friendly service, cosy rustic vibe and consistently great food and coffee. Its an ideal stop between Adelaide and Melbourne with easy parking, caravan access, dog friendly outdoor space away from the main road, and a kids area with toys and a blackboard. Reviewers mention quick, organised service even on busy days, clean facilities and a welcoming atmosphere for a quick bite or a relaxed sit-down.
Menu favourites come up often: St Ali coffee, breakfast and eggs, quiche, butter chicken with buttery naan, beef curry, steak sandwich, chicken parmigiana, rump steak, Reuben toasties, lamb and pumpkin toasties, roast lamb roll and sweet treats like carrot cake and a cherry and coconut slice. People also love the cakes, hot chocolates and the cosy fire in winter. By night it doubles as a bar with dinner, beer, live music and a popular open mic, making it a standout community spot to recharge, chill and keep the journey going.
