Depot Southern Bistro

Came here for my parent's anniversary and it was delicious! Everyone was so nice and the food was amazing. We are still talking about how good the fried green tomatoes were

Had a great lunch.The fried green tomatoes and shrimp is one of the best new things I've tried lately. Burgers are thick and delicious. Staff are very friendly. Great place for lunch

Loved the atmosphere and was excited to try the food. 1.5 hrs later we received an overcooked appetizer. Realized the chef had no help and after speaking with staff got the understanding she thought she had it under control. 30 minutes later got overcooked entrees. Realized the kitchen was in line with the bar and this was a distraction from the quality of food in the outlying dining area. Love the concept and may try again but from the over cooked items, saw that the chef was easily distracted by attention that ended in neglect of the quality of our dinner. The waiting staff was awesome!

I m very dismissive over discrepancies when it pertains to small business owners, since being one , myself. But my experience at this establishment could not be ignored. I feel as though -if the owner had handled the situation in a congenial , fair way than I would not be so adamant on notifying the general public how unaccountable and downright unprofessional this lady is. In a nutshell this is what happened;We had a party of 3 adults and 5 kids. Had called ahead to ask if they had availability. Was told yes. This was on Valentines and it was packed. They had one young waiter, a bartender and the owner who was cooking. We sat ,ordered drinks and appetizers . Drinks came 20 minutes later. Fine, I get it- 1 waiter and a full house- after another 30 minutes, kids are hungry, need refills on drinks. I walk to bar ask for refills and inquire about appetizers and ordering. I carry drinks back, myself, because young waiter is abundantly busy. Waiter takes order, kids somewhat satisfied and we wait another HOUR before 5 plates for the 8 people that ordered ,arrive. Of those 5 ,1 one was completely wrong, 2 were plainly lacking and the $32 dollar, expensive, adult plate was raw , bread soggy and missing sides. Of course the kids are going to eat and share the 4 plates since they were hungry. They said it was yucky, btw.I calmly wait 20 MORE minutes and ask the waiter to please box up the rest and I would like to speak with the owner. He apologized profusely, showed me that he had written the order down correctly and explained he was trying his best to attend to the overcrowding. I get it . Not sure why management would allow a holiday crowd without ensuring they would have adequate help, beforehand, is beyond me. I get it, I thought; maybe everyone called out on her....Waiter gave me bill and said he would box everything else up. Bill was over $200 , gave him my card signed a super awesome tip( cause the young man was doing his best) and said I would go up and speak to her. I went to the bar, I stood there in front of owner for 15 minutes while she purposefully ignored me . I said , loudly enough for her to hear , that I would like speak with her. It was 30 MINUTE LATER, people had left and place had cleared out and STILL had not received food OR 2 of 3 APPETIZERS. I m pissed at this point of being so blatantly ignored after spending so much ! I walk back up , owner comes out with food in boxes and says she had thrown in 2 home made cookies for desert and would refund me for one plate. I asked her about the cold , horrible , raw food and food that was missing ,and when I would see that change on my card. That money, she said , would be taken out of the waiters tip. So the original bill for food would be still charged, she was not going to put on tip. I asked her , if she felt that was a good idea since he was only getting $2.10 an hour , as it was, and he busted his ass. That it was the food quality and preparation that was the problem . I told her to not take away his tip and keep it. There was NEVER any accountability on her part or suggestion on refunding any part of the bill. I left , got in the car with kids and other adults and proceeded to dole out the food to everyone so we could eat SOMETHING before riding home over an hour away. Get this:Food was cold as shit, only 1 cookie!! And still missing items!! That's it! Walk back , they had closed but owner was sitting at bar. I knocked they let me in, I calmly told her I wasn't trying to be an asshole but we waited almost 3 hours , didn't get our food correctly, paid a ton of money her solution to put it on the young waiter and then STILL give me crap food with missing items was outrageous and how is she going to rectify this??!Her response, " I don't know, I have done all I'm going to do. " then turns away and ignores me and continued to add her receipts. I said duly noted and walked out.THIS SMALL BUSINESS OWNER IS INCOMPETENT, UNACCOUNTABLE, RUDE AND SELLING SUBPAR FOOD FOR OUTRAGEOUS AMOUNTS. DONT CONTRIBUTE! SHE SHOULD BE IN ANOTHER LINE OF BUSINESS.

Love the food! Friendly staff. Husband and I live doing date nights here. There is nothing here that I have tried that I haven't liked. Steaks are the best in town

Some of the issues on previous reviews both here and Google still persist. There is a sewage smell inside of the restaurant; not sure why. Fortunately I did not get the smell in my mouth like a previous reviewer did. The lettuce on the side salad was somewhat brownish; the presentation was not the best. The steak was ordered medium; some parts were under medium. The size is definitely part of why some of it is undercooked. An instant read thermometer might be helpful if one isn't used already. The menu was definitely not what it is online or on any of the pictures. Our waiter did the best she could given the circumstances; running all the host desk, the full bar/bartending, and waitering tables. With few improvements specially with the sewage smell this place could be a nice spot for a casual dinner with family or friends.

Good food, but sometimes their presentation lacks thoughtfulness. I had a cowboy burger, and the first bite was amazing. They've always impressed me that way. Sadly though, the string fries, burger bun and paper plate liner were covered in oil. It appears to be applied just before serving it. They give you one napkin. Thoughtless. The dish would be outstanding without the oil. Fo $18, you'd expect a pleasant experience. That and hard church pew seating and it just ends up being an expensive, uncomfortable, messy dinner in what presents itself to be a higher end eatery.

Absolutely horrendous. Food was atrocious and we were charged extra on almost every order. They came back every 7 minutes to ask who was with who and who ordered what. We were there for over 2 hours and only spent about 20 minutes of that actually eating. Me and my friend ordered lemonades and they both came in different colors. Mine tasted like pure syrup and his was water with lemon juice in it. Pop was served in bottles from the store. Food took forever to get there and some of it was wrong. I ordered a smash burger with bacon and the bacon was undercooked so I had to take that off. They could not for the life of them get the bills right, so my mom had to do it for them. Our main waitress had only been working there for 4 days, so she was struggling. The other waitress did not help her and made her do the majority of the work. We were still in the end charged for wrong things and paid way extra. In addition they charged my cousin for cheese on his burger and 7 dollars for 2 sprites. The fries had sugar or something on them which made them un-eatable. My dad ordered a drink while we were waiting for the food for and hour, which came out right when we were about to leave. We were still charged for that. No one had a good experience and it was terrible. Way overpriced as well.

great atmosphere for sure.. food not so much. . $18 for an ok bugter and greasy potatoe chips.. Gator bites we're not edible - very rubbery. We were only customers there, watched our food sit under heat lamp for over 5min, will not go back.

Worst dining experience ever! The menus online is not the menu.. The real menu is more limited and more expensive. Took 1 hr to get served. Shrimp and grits was green peppers with 5 shrimp. Ordered wine, no wine list but asked for the pine noir. Was charged $19 for a glass for a bottle that costs $22!
