Proudly serving the town of Occoquan and all those who pass through
Nearly six years ago a plan was put into motion and a beloved roadside sandwich and hot dog stand was opened. The popularity required more space to be functional, along with the desire and need to serve indoors. While the decision to close the original stand to focus on the new cafe is bittersweet and full of emotion, we appreciate the love and support of all who visited.
Our customers are our friends and community, it means so much to be there for you. Please stop in for a sandwich, a specialty hot dog, or a signature espresso drink, just like what you came to love at the Shack!

What is “Ballywhack”
Our name is derived from the creek that travels along Tanyard Hill Road, under the streets of the historic town, and into the awaiting Occoquan River.
We like to provide a friendly and fun environment, with a core value to remain as Local & Sustainable as possible. We accomplish this by sourcing locally roasted coffee, proudly serving locally baked gluten-free products and bread upon request, while doing our best to promote a sustainable environment and consciousness by using earth-friendly packaging
