Great service great food. Cute place. It’s not ritzy but is updated and feels homey. Been here several times. They just got a new owner who we met today (so clearly local) and seemed like a genuine person. Would recommend. My salad was less than $10 and looked very fancy and had all the fixings. The waitress recommended a drink which was enjoyed. Especially for the price, a great place to go. Worth driving from Davenport / Eldridge / North Scott to get to.
Great customer service. Morgan was very attentive and checked back with us regularly. Food was great. New menu is amazing. Had the Crispy Chicken salad. Only change I'd make is to add an option for crispy noodles atop it. Love the salad and presentation. Very pretty, ate too fast for a pick. Sorry, not sorry. My date had open faced prime rib and he made love to it.
Friday night dinner for our first visit. Very pleasant atmosphere from the moment you walk in. The place was very busy but social distanced very well. The drinks were cheap, the food was excellent, as was the service.
A couple of comments about the food; tonight was rib night and they were excellent. They use a dry rub which is the first I’ve seen around the Quad Cities. You don’t need and shouldn’t want sauce! They were flavorful, juicy and fall off the bone. What a great place, can’t wait to come back!!
Not only was the food amazing (fish nuggets, cheese curds, steak was done PERFECTLY, desserts were to die for), the staff was kind and courteous - a nice deviation from what this ‘town outsider’ usually experiences at local favorites. We had a lot of fun, got to watch our favorite teams play ball, and left with full bellies. A job well done to the staff and management.
I would give the depot 10 stars if I could. We were there for the first time last night and we will definitely be back. The atmosphere is fun, the staff was so friendly, and the food was amazing. If you choose to change the side, you get a full appetizer size order of your choice. The potato wedges and the mushrooms were amazing. Definitely worth $4.00. The mushrooms and tenderloin were breaded in a light crispy breading that you definitely can’t buy at the store. They had to be breaded right there in the kitchen. Amazing! Be sure and ask the history of the building when you go. It’s so neat. Ask for Chelle if you are there on the weekend. She was the most friendly restaurant staff I’ve met in a long time.
The Depot in Donahue Iowa has theeeee BEST brunch I have EVER had and they serve a 11 oz ribeye for just $4 more which melts in your mouth with incredible flavor. The staff is also very friendly and efficient. HIGHLY RECOMMEND giving them a try. We will be back SOON !!! The owner greats you and actually asks you if everything is OK. Very nice guy ????????
We just happened upon this place passing through on a Sunday afternoon. The sign says fish fry, so we stopped to eat. The fish was delicious and the homemade tartar sauce was extraordinary! The entire meal was excellent.
Friendly staff, but poor service, & food was not good or hot. Ordered appetizers, we got over cooked, over salted cheese curds. But, the manager did make another batch that was not over cooked. We were a Party of four, and two out of our four entrees came as ordered &
It took about 28 min to get them.
One fish fillet came without batter, another came on a bun ,(ordered w/o) Our sides were wrong or missing; got fries, instead of onion rings, No coleslaw Asked for condiments & tarter sauce, our fish was 1/2 finished before waitress brought it to the table. The manager was apologetic & comped our drinks. But, we won’t be back.The waitress told us before we ordered, “ Our kitchen has been a “shit- show tonight”. They got that right.
