Bad to mediocre food. Both my meal as well as my wife's was overcooked. Mice staff, good service, just bad food.

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.

We almost went to Clinton today... but we took an unknown road that curved and swooped and ended up in a quaint little iowan town. Delicious lunch "blue balls" with house garlic-parmesan sauce, amazing handmade raspberry-jalepeno jam, and a totally co-chill owner - who made us feel like longtime friends! Such a great afternoon! And, there's a porch swing across the way at the Rusty Rooster...

I've been coming to this place for years. They have the best locally grown beer for their fresh burgers. There tator tots are some of the best I've had! Also, the bartenders and waiters are attentive. I suggest everyone to make the trip out to Donahue for home cooked food.

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 ??

Another wonderful dinner with my family at The Depot. We've only been out there a few times, and the food and friendly service continues to deliver. I did want the rib special, but our waitress informed us that lots of people earlier in the night had ordered it, and people had ordered it with take out orders as well, so they sold out fast. No big deal. We will know next time to get out there earlier, since weekend specials are a hot item. The waitress also let us know that there would be a short wait for food, and recommended that we get a quick appetizer to hold us over. Great suggestion because we were pretty hungry. Our onion rings and cheese balls came out quickly and was super hot. Our sandwiches came and were gone quickly! I can't say enough good things about the charm of this place and the familiar hometown feel of it all.One thing my family and I did not appreciate about our visit was other customers causing a hostile environment, muttering profanities in between insults. One guy had lost his mind and was pretty much yelling at the staff. Over having to wait?? At a clearly short staffed restaurant? I was embarrassed for him as was my wife. Another group was loudly complaining (so that others could hear) about their wait for food. It was quite disrespectful and small of them. This does not represent the North Scott Community that I am so proud to be a part of. People need to learn grace and allow themselves more time while dining out anywhere, especially on a Friday or Saturday night. Thank you to all the staff, you all do a great job despite the circumstances. We will most definitely be making an effort to get out there more!
