Everything about this place was amazing . They had a hangar steak special. I've never had a hangar steak before so we thought what the heck and both ordered it. It had a rich taste but so tender. I tasted a wine, maybe worchester sauce, and seasoned to perfection. I had their augratin broccoli, this was pretty good. A little too much cheese sauce for me but very tasty. smashed (can't remember what they were called) potatoes, these needed heat. The ceasar salad was wonderful. Not drowning in dressing, the lettuce was crisp and very fresh and it was garnished with fresh parmesean cheese and homemade croutons. They also had bread and butter. I think it was a sour dough bread and really creamy butter.. very yummy. We brought home a slice of cheesecake and carrot cake. I will return and try

What an absolute gem in Fredericktown! The Depot Café completely blew us away. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and our waiter was fantastic — friendly, attentive, and just genuinely great at what he does. We started with the baked pretzel appetizer — perfectly soft with just the right touch of salt. My husband ordered the Shrimp and Lobster Rice Boat, and after the first bite he literally said "Wow, that's good" out loud. I had the Garlic Chicken Breast meal, and it was so good I didn’t even think to snap a picture until I had already finished my green beans — no regrets! For dessert, I treated myself to the white chocolate cheesecake. It was very rich, but in the best, most indulgent way. I also had the Lemon Drip martini, and let’s just say it disappeared quickly. Yes, the price

We made a 5:30 dinner reservation and arrived to find our table waiting for us and wow the service was amazing and the food was fantastic. We enjoyed the crab cheesecakes for our appetizer and my wife had the lobster cannelloni while I had the apple bourbon glazed pork which was delicious. Definitely coming here again soon.

Very good food in Fredericktown. My wife had a steak which she said was cooked perfectly, and it had great flavor. My French dip style sandwich was tender and flavorful. Service was excellent. My only problem is with the atmosphere. It is quite noisy. It would be nice if they could put some acoustic tiles on the walls and ceiling to dampen the noise a bit.

I haven’t been at The Depot in several years so we picked this place for lunch. The restaurant was clean, and our waiter greeted us very politely and quickly. He was very attentive, told us the specials and recommended a few choices. Our food came out hot and in a timely manner, it was a very relaxing lunch. The bathroom was also very clean and tidy. GPS took us straight there.
