Delicious garbage sauce and mango jalepeno sauce on the boneless wings. Slightly spicy, but oh so delicious. (Chicken ) Taco Salad was fabulous. Train Wreck burger was excellent, good portion size and value. Turkey Club was so excellent. Great value.
We Visited on Saturday July 6 and sign said "take out only" Tiffany greated us and let us know We were welcome to sit and order but could be a Little while since she was working alone. She had several other tables as well as us but was very attentive and friendly. She answered our questions and we were super happy with our selections! "Garbage" is their signature wing sauce flavor and it was delicious, as well as their mild and garlic Parmesan sauce. We wanted fries but when she asked if we wanted to try the sweet potato tots, we couldn't resist. They were amazing! To end, Tiffany sang happy bday to my mom iand brought a delicious "birthday cake" chocolate mousse dessert. So good The Depot is an old rail station with history and lots of old pics of the old trains! ( sorry pics are of 1/2 eaten food. Always forget to take pics and dig in )
We found this spot as a good, family-friendly option while in town for my son's Cooperstown All-Star Village tournament. I had the chicken Caesar wrap and my nephew had a cheeseburger. The service was fast and friendly and the ambiance was fine, but not fancy. There was a team dinner being held in the back room when we were there, so it's great for that.
We LOVED the Hot Garbage (sauce) Wings, fries, burgers, and the service was great! We came on a recommendation, with our two boys and there was something delicious for everyone! We will be back next time we're in town! "They know what they're doing and they do it perfectly" - Ben, age 10
Excellent sevice. We had the portobello mushroom appetizer which was a small meal and delicious. Cozy atmosphere in a preserved historic building which is great to see.
Popped in for the 1st time after a movie and capped off the night with a great experience. Service was excellent and the food was as well. Due to the awards, we started with the wings and understand why they have some recognition. Went with the French Dip and The Crossing Burger. Both were fabulous. Aus jus was flavorful. Will definitely be back!
Great place. Super service. Extensive menu. Just lovely. The building itself so interesting. Highly recommend.
