Depot Bar and Grill

Met a colleague here for lunch. It's a cute atmosphere with the train theme throughout the restaurant/bar. I ordered the beet salad it was pretty and delicious. The whole beets were something I usually don't see in a beet salad but it meant I got lots of beats. Dressing was served on the side and was a nice compliment. I also liked that I got a piece of bread with the salad. My friend got a blue cheese burger on which they serve the Faribault Caves blue cheese brand. Like the local ties. Service was good. Parking easy. Nice stop.

We ordered to go, 2 appetizers and 1 entree. We should have checked our meal before driving all the way home. We requested and paid for extra sour cream. What we got was a tiny tube of sour cream, about 1 tablespoons worth. They also placed that tube onto the very hot appetizer, so when opened, it was curdled milk again. They also included zero utensils or condiments like ketchup for the fries, or the dipping sauce for the chicken. Since we are in the middle of moving, we had no access to these ourselves. At these prices, you would think the restaurant would double check orders going out their doors. We even included a generous tip, hoping to ensure our order would be correct and complete. Food was mediocre because of the difficulty eating without utensils and lack of condiments.

Our Minnesota supper club quest continues on. We've searched high and low for them, and we've tried many. This one jumped near the top of our list! The only thing we found daunting was how extensive the menu is. We couldn't decide, and we wanted it all! Every supper club has fried walleye and we've gotten an order at each supper club. This one was, by far, the best. So piping hot, light light batter, flavorful, crispy, just yuuuuum! We got walleye and walleye fingers appetizer to share. Excellent! This was my least favorite. Not much flavor IMO. Scraped out the cheese like a good Midwesterner would and called it good. German Beer Cheese - likely one of the best cheese soups we've had. Creamy and hearty, delicious!This place needs a soup flight with all the varieties of homemade soups!! Waygu Works burger was a basic steak burger but on steroids. Local Waygu was so tender and juicy! Hot fries and it was just the perfect steak burger. Butternut Squash ravioli was a little too sweet on the sauce. The ravioli was great, but the sauce was very sugary. This would be much better in a light butter or olive oil sauce, spinach, diced tomatoes, something like that, IMO. The squash ravioli with squash sauce was too...squashy? Couldn't taste anything but squash. Filet Mignon Oscar style, served with Lobster mashed potatoes, topped with Alaskan snow crab bearnaise sauce and asparagus was OH MY GAHHHH! Couldn't get enough. Everything about this dish was fantastic! Waygu chopped steak dinner was tasty as well. We originally were served the Waygu Chicken Fried steak but it was corrected quickly. We tasted both but agree that the chopped steak dinner itself was awesome. So tender and delicious! Lime pie has a cornflake and buttery crust, fantastic. Cheesecake was so creamy, and just the right amount of pumpkin. This place jumped right up on our list of Minnesota supper clubs, and though this place is a supper club + more, it still gives the supper club food, feel and experience. Chef Jeff - the owner, culinary chef trained in NYC, brings a personal touch by walking around and introducing himself. Service was fabulous as well. We love this place and hope you do, too!!

We went for a little dinner after golf, and decided to go to the Depot. The Depot has a very nice special list and very unique dishes that are pretty rare to see. The good: the quantities are nice sizes, the fries are good, they switch up their specials often. The bad: the fillet burger was a little over cooked for medium, but still edible. The bacon looked like it was cooked twice. I would ask for a little pink or medium rare next time. The Korean fried rice was really flavorful, but probably too much flavor to rice. I took most of it home and added 4 to 5 cups of jasmine rice, which made the dish Nice, subtle, and tasty.

Second time we have been to Depot while visiting the area. We actually went out of our way the 2 nd time to go. Food was delicious and we ordered off the seasonal specialties. Nice patio and enjoyed , just be ready to hold your ears when train passes for about 5 min. Kind of cool though.

Small quaint town with the Depot bar and grill. Came in during lunch rush and had great service and good food. I highly recommend the beer cheese and wild rice soups. My husband got the duck burger and he said it was awesome! It's worth the drive through town.

The food is great, I've never had a bad experience except the cops pulling up on a car and surrendered it and probably arrested them. The service is great and they have trains you can watch through the window. It's really quiet and nice and the ambiance is perfect.

The bar is okay. Our server was friendly and helpful. Food was decent but not my fav. Fun time over all and good music and people and vibe.

We sat outside on the patio and the weather was perfect. You sit about 4 feet from an actual railroad track. No trains tonight. The food was good, I had a burger and fries and if that's what you're in the mood for, then you would be ok. The big bitch I have about it is that we got here at 7:30pm, it is now 9:15 and I just got my check. The service tonight was abysmal and slow. Perhaps it's an off night, but this is inexcusable.

I have been here many times and the food never disappoints!Service is usually pretty good too.Love the atmosphere. Very cute and unique.
