Depot Dairy

If you find yourself passing through tiny Camden, Ohio, this is a nice "greasy spoon" to get yourself a quick, tasty bite. Their pizza, burgers, and fried "stuff" are all reasonably priced and look to be made to order. My mushroom swiss burger (double!!) was VERY flavorful, and added side of fries (I should have ordered a dinner, which would have included a fountain drink) hit the spot and didn't break the bank. Quick, friendly service, and if I wasn't VERY full, I would have enjoyed something from the LARGE, tempting menu of ice cream choices as well. Give 'em a try, if you're in the area...

Owned and operated by legendary DJ, graduate of the International School of Broadcasting and Camden native, Kim Dean, the Depot was founded from and old abandoned train depot that once served as a stopping point during the construction of the first coast to coast railroad. Purchased as an investment property in the 70's by the Doran Monarchy, The Depot has hosted celebrities such as Tom Cruise, Rob Lowe, Buddy Hackett and Wilfred Brimley, before his diabetes set in. The local Guy Fieri favorite has a complete and comprehensive offering of farm to table, locally sourced culinary specialties.

The Depot is still as good as it was 45 years ago when as a child would go there for ice cream.During my teen years the Depot was the place to go after football and the school dance for a Depot Burger and a banana shake.The food is still the same and it takes me back to a time and place that I miss and treasure.Every time I'm back home I stop in and get a Depot Burger, fries, and a banana shake. For awhile it's 1984 and all is right with the world.Stop by and enjoy.

I've been going to the Depot for years through different owners. I think with the current owners it's the best it's ever been. They are currently drive thru only due to COVID but they are rocking it. My go to's at the Depot a Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza. The last time I got a CBR I got breaded chicken instead of grilled for something different and YUM!! Yes pizza, it's not just ice cream. Their pizza is awesome. Their Chicken Nuggets and Fried Mushrooms are yummy. In October they have a Philly Cheesesteaks Pizza that was to phenomenal. I am not sure if that's a regular thing or if it was just a special. A basic chocolate milk shake is my go to ice cream. I tend to get one to enjoy right away and one to take home and freeze for a later date. Something my mom used to do when I was younger.

Ordered large deluxe pizza and 3 steak sandwiches..... called order in, according to menu on line, the cost should have been 40.00. Apparently all costs have gone up and not been updated. They also tacked on a 3% convenience fee without even telling me until I questioned them about price. I know you are new owners but, let's be up front with prices and just so you know, your should recreate your steak sandwiches or quit selling them. Pizza was great but this won't be a go to for our family.

A small town ice cream shop and eatery. Isn't much to look at. The dining options are limited. It's one of the few. Mostly greasy stuff. Coming through here we were looking for something to eat or something cold. It looks like the only place in Camden with ice cream. The menu lists several basic flavors. Depot Dairy isn't your average small town ice cream shop. There's indoor seating, meaning it's probably open all year. Okay for a small town like Camden. Indoor seating if you're hanging. There's also a drive thru.

The little train depot gives this diner it's name and it's quite small dining area is just that -- quite small. But the pleasant employees served us quickly and offered us truly the best breaded pork tenderloin sandwich and fried cauliflower we've had in years. If your looking for lunch and are in or passing through Camden Ohio, give The Depot and it's tenderloin a try. Definitely worth it!

The food is always stellar in every way I can really flip it from the pizza to the burgers and even to the shakes it has a wonderful flavor and ingredient options. The service is always friendly and personable, the workers and the owner are fantastic to talk with and are not afraid of engaging. The seating is rather interesting, there are two things I will touch on. The first thing I have to say it really makes seriously good use of the space it has, and there are outdoor options so that way you can get some space, my favorite spot is under the tree at the picnic table.

The food is great the employees were over the top excellent and polite and they really put the customers first I got a depot burger and it was perfectly cooked I would 10/10 recommend

Best place around !! Staff is always so friendly, try the Hawaiian pizza it is amazing.
