I always make sure whenever I'm driving up to Cairns or going on the coast that I always stop here now at Jesse's Cardwell pies. It's located in the rest. Stop Just as you enter Cardwell from the Townsville side. There are heaps of carparks available as well as toilet facilities for a nice rest stop on your trip.
During school holiday periods it can get quite busy, and sometimes pies may be sold out after lunch. All the pies are made fresh daily by Jesse himself and are ready to eat upon purchase.
My favourite pie to get there is the beef and mushroom pie, and they also have the option of adding a scoop of mushy peas on top of your pie as well. There are a range of different pastry options available, as well as drinks and chips.
Definitely recommend dropping in here if you are ever in the area and check out their pies.

A surprise in the park that has fabulous views of the islands. Easy to get into travelling north or south.
What a great spot to stop off for a break and enjoy one of the best pies in the North.
Delicious pie. Friendly guy serving.
Great stop with plenty of space
The pies are delicious. The crust is, I'd like to know who makes pastry like that. The filling is just right too. Hats off to the cook. We'll definitely stop any time we go through.
I stop here every time I go through Cardwell. All the food is good, if the pies are sold out the sausage rolls and pasties are just as good. Fantastic value and the salesman has great banter.
...funny man, good Pies and cold drinks
Hubby loves them. I'm not a pie lover. But the coffee van is my fave
