Good food here in downtown Faribault with some unique dishes on the menu. Unique atmosphere in a historical train depot that does have a train whiz by on the tracks occasionally. Full bar and patio seating outside in the summer. Although somewhat expensive to eat here on a regular basis, I'll always go back, especially if pistachio cake gets on the weekly menu again.

Just a warning to anyone considering the crab cake entree. On their single page menu today, it was listed under the entrees. On their menu, it is listed as a $20 appetizer. My mistake. Just found out it was an appetizer. Don't be mislead! Two crab cakes, with dried up pieces of cold onion rings, on top of lettuce with no dressing. Came out of there ..... hungry! What a mistake. Don't be mislead by their marketing descriptions!

Excellent food. Superb service. From burgers to seafood, we are never disappointed with the Depot!

This restaurant is outstanding- tasty menu, great people, and a talented chef with an evolving vision!
Love the atmosphere! Enough train
Decor to keep kids busy looking, even though there was hardly any wait time on food! Chef Jeff is the friendliest and he generously offered some samples of his from scratch creations to us first timers! There is something on the menu to please everyone- the pastrami bites are amazing even if you don’t like pastrami! The pretzel was bigger than two heads put together and the cheese curds are crispy fried in tallow, plus they squeak when you chew!

Super friendly, hard working, BEST food. Owner/chef personally welcomed us. I would recommend this place 100x over. Will be going back again!

Excellent! All of our meals were delicious. We only had time for a quick bite and wish we could have stayed for more. French onion soup A+
Will definitely stop in again when we’re back in town.

used to be good but food was bland and flavorless. the server claimed to have worked there 30+ years but she was an extremely poor waitress.

Shout out to Chef Jeff for meeting us and a appetizer in the house for our first time in. Our server was awesome also. Some of the best food we have had - my husband had the German Flatbread with kielbasa and bratwurst with homemade sauerkraut which was off the charts. I had the Reuben Balls and those were just as amazing . Driving south on 35 from the Twin Cites worth the stop in. We will make the drive back down for the food !
Want to give a shout out to depot bar and grill, chef Jeff and Darcy our server. Great experience. A group of 9 took our Dad out to celebrate his 85th birthday today, food was fabulous, our server Darcy was wonderful, they came to table and did a birthday song for our father and really made his day! Thank you both for making our dad’s birthday lunch feel special, every thing was fabulous!!

I recently heard of this place and have been interested in checking it out. This weekend, I was traveling through Faribault and decided to stop in and try it. I'm glad I did! I'm a big fan of the atmosphere and the history of it. The good was great, and the service did well. All of this at a fair current price. All prices are higher compared to a fews ago, but the quality matched the pricing of today's market. I do get annoyed with the service charge a lot of restaurants are adding, but this one only totaled $1.75 for me.
I'm be back when I'm in the area.
