Depot Express

Went on a Valentines date here and can i say... we were BEYOND impressed. I have lived by the alexandria area my whole life and JUST discovered this hidden gem! We were sat immediately, our server Chelsey was one of the best servers we have ever been served by in all our years of dining.We ordered the pulled pork mac & cheese special, the food came out in a good time frame and it was the best meal we've had eating out in such a long time! The presentability of the dish as well as the taste were so impressive.I strongly recommend this place to EVERYONE of any age! It is our new favorite!

Eating here was a relatively unpleasant experience for me. The worst part was the server. They were tense and absent. They rushed us when they needed something, but then took forever to do basic service tasks like fill empty water cups and bring napkins. They weren't helpful when it came to the menu and didn't explain what came with meals (for example, one meal came with complimentary salad bar and we didn't know that). Any time we politely asked for something it really seemed like we were inconveniencing them (it's helpful to keep in mind that it wasn't super busy at the time we were there). It made the entire meal awkward and frustrating.When it comes to the food, the onion rings and cheese curds came out really hot and they were perfect. I'd never had a popover before, but I really enjoyed these! They had a nice hint of cinnamon in them. As for my entree, I got the brisket sandwich and it was REALLY dry. To make it worse, the BBQ sauce they put on it overpowered every other flavor. I got a side of sweet potato fries, which were perfectly crispy and salty.

We had spinach artichoke dip to start which we all enjoyed. We each had various sandwiches or wraps for lunch. The French fries and tater tots were crispy and plentiful. The boxcar brisket sandwich was fine, not outstanding. The burger, chicken avocado sandwich and garlic Parmesan chicken wrap that my companions had were also decent. The service was friendly and we sat outside across from Lake Agnes which was quite beautiful.

Went to the Depot Bar and Grill in Alexandria for my father-in-law's birthday. We had a decent size group (5 adults, two kids ages 4&6) and overall had a nice time. I got the Half rack of ribs and side of fries. Very good! And the meal came with a salad bar (which was decent) and a "popover" (which was delicious-- order more of those!). Unfortunately, we did not have the best service with our waitress (might have been an off day). She just seemed very over us and especially the kids. So-- maybe not the best place to bring kids!

Everything was very good! Taya, our server, was very nice and steered me in the right direction for a drink and yummy food. I got a blueberry Stoli and lemonade (highly recommend when sitting in the peaceful outdoor seating area) and the Korean BBQ wrap with pineapple coleslaw! I would come back here often if we lived closer to Alexandria! Way to go Depot team!

We where greeted and sat at our table on their beautiful patio quickly. The bar area looks really nice as well as the dining room and salad bar. The drinks came quickly but the food took a bit of time and our drinks during dinner took a while. I can only imagine how tough it is with staff levels. The burgers had no taste and where cooked well done when ordered medium. The pizza looked nice but was soggy in the middle. We probably won't be back again.

Perfect place to bike to for a nice beverage or lunch (or both!). On the Central Lakes State Trail, across the street from Lake Agnes (scenic!), lots of room for parking your vehicle if you don't bicycle in! Delightful beverages and food as well as great service! Thanks to our server, Ella for an awesome lunch here today!

Had a great meal and a delicious Bloody Mary. Good service and excellent view. Good parking.

The prime rib was phenomenal. The salad bar was on the smaller side, but was fresh and the soup was excellent! Our server was awesome and very attentive without being overly attentive. The dining area was decorated nicely and was away from the bar for more intimate conversation. Definitely will go back!

Sooo good I absolutely loved it here Got sat right away on the upper level which was very classy! server was fast and great! Drinks got filled asap! Will definitely be returning!
