Dinner was good but the waitress got the my order wrong. I wanted medium-rare. On the receipt it says medium-well. And when i asked her what the subtotal was, she quoted me the total. I don't tip on the total, but i do always tip at least 20%.

I did not know there was a DPO in Staunton! We have always loved the one in Lynchburg and thought it would be a nice lunch while we were in town. I got the Smothered Chicken, my wife got a Steak. Both were so juicy and flavorful and cooked to perfection (the second time). With only the one hiccup of wrongly prepared meat, the cook, our server, and the manager immediately fixed it and offered us some compensation. I have rarely ever received such gracious, cheerful, and inviting service in any restaurant. This crew made me WANT to drive 3 hours again for a meal. Awesome job!Parking: Small lot outside does not fit seating capacity. There is a large lot just down the hill (1.25/hr) or if you are lucky you might find a free 2hr space nearby.Kid-friendliness: Family atmosphere, very friendly cheerful staff. Large paper covering the table and crayons for kids and adults alike to let their creativity flow! The best ones make the wall!
I wished I had taken pictures of my food. Jessica our server recommended the fried mushrooms. Get them!!! They were fantastic. You will not leave hungry. Portions are huge, atmosphere was great and Jessica was great!!! Glad we stopped before our next door train ride.

We arrived on a Tuesday and were surprised how full the parking lot was! The food was very tasty, well cooked. The batter-fried mushrooms appetizer was huge and could easily feed 4 as an app.The waitress was friendly, very quick with food and drinks and checked in regularly.If we lived locally, this would definitely be on our regular places to eat.Parking: There is a lot of parking but some of the spaces are smaller.
I visited last night (2-15-24) with 2 friends. We all have had a challenging few months. Good food, great company, lots of laughs. Special shout out to Tony for wonderful service and even better personality. The most fun and great food I’ve experienced in a really long time!!

When we are visiting in Charlottesville, we always go to the Depot Grille in Staunton, Va. Great service, food and amazing atmosphere. Love the downtown Staunton vibe for sure.

Great service and great experience. I came here for dinner and had the salmon with sautéed mushrooms + Caesar salad. The food was good, but nothing over the top spectacular. That being said, I would come back again!

What an awesome place. Our server Lindsay was a treat. Fun and very personable. The Toosday salad was awesome. Very impressed. The spinach artichoke dip was tasty too. Didn't get too much cuz we were getting on the Virginia Scenic Railroad. Definitely recommend for a great meal.
