Well it was our first time here and it was wonderful. Sat at the var with the sweetest, cutest little bartender Jessie.. she was as pleasant as could be from the moment we sat down. We started with sharing a bowl of AMAZING CLAM CHOWDER! Asked for it piping hot and it was just perfect.. not loaded with potatoes like most.. and so very tasty!! We both opted for the Philly cheesesteak.. mine in a wrap and his on a sub roll! We asked for red peppers instead of green and the kitchen was more than happy to accommodate us. Both were delicious and had FF and a great pickle! We will definitely be back.. the bar was fun with lots of people all chatting and having fun! Thank you to all those who made our lunch a memorable one. read more

The food is way too salty. It's a typical bar atmosphere. Our waitress was excellent. Won't be going back unfortunately.

Was there last week with 2 friends. My first time there. We started with the appetizer sampler which was huge. Then split the BBQ chicken pizza and the carbonara. Excellent espresso martini. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Can't wait to go back to try different things read more

The Depot is back baby! I'm so glad this place reopened after closing a while back. It's a really cool spot that used to be a train station and all of the old architecture of the building has been preserved. My friends and I came here the weekend they reopened after we went bowling in town. They gave us complimentary appetizers (buffalo chicken tenders & potato skins) after they made too many in the kitchen. They were a nice treat! For my dinner, I ordered the greek chicken wrap. It was delicious! Good portion size, fresh ingredients and an ample amount of good greek dressing (I hate it when there's not enough and you can't taste the dressing). The fries tasted like they came from fresh potatoes, not frozen. I have a feeling we'll be frequenting this place often! read more

The food is always the best. I have to commend Maggie our waitress we have had her many times and she is the most efficient waitress there. Always has a smile on her face and always acknowledges you. She is the absolute best. read more

Love the Depot, I've been coming here since childhood and it's such a comfort place. It's under new ownership, so glad it's living on! The inside is all redone and looks great. I got a lobster roll to go and it completely hit the spot. Service is always so great, definitely recommend read more

Hi, why is EVERYTHING SO SALTY OMG. I keep giving you a shot and you kill my cholesterol. Please lay off the salt I'm begging you. I can't come here again. It's been a year since I came last hoping it would be better and my lips are dry and shriveled from the salt. read more

Bar food, it is as good! Good for families. Ok beer selection. Chicken Cesar wrap and as yummy! Clam chowder was pretty thick.

We have been going to this neighborhood restaurant regularly for a while now. Tonight was my typical Caesar salad- just perfect, and a cheese pizza with extra cheese, delicious. Hubby had the special - prime rib, and it was truly wonderful! Delicious, and a huge portion of perfectly cooked meat! We are bar people and the bar staff are terrific! Prices are very reasonable too! You won't be disappointed! read more

The Carbonara with Chicken is amazing . Enuff for two meals ! The cream sauce with bacon just smoky enuff ! read more

Great neighborhood bar with friendly staff. Cool old train station...so close to the tracks the building shakes once during your dinner! They have a varied menu and it is kid friendly. My husband loved the tips and chicken combo and my chicken quesadilla was excellent. Decent prices for wine. All in all a great neighborhood gem! read more

Hadn't been here in years. Hopefully not years before we go again. Service was excellent and server super friendly. Food was good especially App platter. Drinks were very good. The only real negative was it was very loud and difficult to have conversation. Keep in mind we were in the bar section as that's where our reservation put us. Maybe quieter on other side. Went to dinner but would like to try brunch read more

So nice to have the Depot back better than ever! Food was fabulous and the service was great. Love the new iwners

The depot is a great place for the kids and family. It is very friendly and my son runs into his friends a lot there. The service is great and the food like the burgers, fish and steak tips are very good. Over all it's not some gordan ramsey resturant but it is very cute and clean. I have gone their many times and there is a bar but everyone know what to do and keep their distant from the people really eating. read more

Pizza needs a lot of work. More and better options in the area. Very greasy burnt cheese that is under cooked.

Was on my list to try. It was nearly a year ago now since we went & never went back. I ordered the Shepards pie & I received a dinner plate with fried ground beef with a few peas & a side of mash. That is what it was, fried ground beef. The chef didn't even try to make it look any different than what it was. He just threw ground beef into a pan, fried & served it like that, no gravy, nothing. I didn't write a review as we were thinking that it looked like the chef may have left early & the bar guy was trying to cover for him. It was an hour before closing on a Sunday night and the place was ptetty empty, Well obviously we never went back after that. read more

Went for dinner with friends and kids. The service was good, the food was good but the hostess / manager was very rude. At one point she came to our table and took the ketchup bottle out of my kids hand and removed it from the table. She said "he's had enough ketchup". When I asked to speak to the manager she said "I am the manager, and I don't want your kid wasting my ketchup." We will not be returning. depot read more

Really cool spot by the railroad to grab a drink. I love the atmosphere of this place and the bartender was a lot of fun. I'd definitely return for drinks and to try the food. read more

Was very impressed with the pizza. We got a small sausage and jalepeno. Good spot for non bar pizza.

Don't believe the options provided it clearly states TAKEOUT but if you actually try and call for take out the very rude unprofessional staff will literally just hang up on you. This has happened to me over 5 times but I just call back cause F YOU do your job a-hole but tonight I was hung up on and then they just let it ring until I gave up. Aside from that I went in there couple weeks ago with my gf. I ordered a med well burger and got a burnt patty that was pink on the inside and my gf ordered a fried chicken sandwich and got a grilled chicken sandwich which apparently was awful so she ended up just eating a lettuce sandwich. Never once have I been disrespectful or rude and still gave a %20 tip even though all our food was bad... So yeah pretty eager to watch this place go under with this toilet bowl service cause I literally live across the street LOL Talk about a business crapping in its own sandbox... read more

Was hopefull to try the filet mignon and was served with 2 disappointments I asked for the steak medium and was served with well done at first then was served a med well by the time I got into the steak it cooked touph hopefull for a round 2 maybe just a bad day for the cook because everyone else's food was on point this was just a sad experience for a filet and until round 2. read more

I don't know what happened to this place but my husband and I decided to eat there this evening after finding out that D'Anns was closed. To say that our meals were sub par is an understatement. It was one of the worst meals I've had in many years. He picked the scallops broiled with bacon and cheese. He was still hungry after eating his tiny portion of food which was so so. I ordered the evening "special" which was Prime Rib cooked medium rare. What I got was a piece of shoe leather that was so difficult to chew I had to concede after my first bite. It was medium and so tough. I sent it back for a filet mignon. What a joke. Chefs, don't offer foods on your menu if you don't know how to cook them. $80+ later we left. I feel like I've been robbed! Not sure I'll ever go back read more

Got a prime rib sandwich and it had two slices of beef jerky like meat. My husband got a BLT wrap and it had one slice of bacon. What a rip off! read more

First time here. Very cute atmosphere in an old train station. Had nachos and cosmos so I can't speak for the rest of the menu but those were good. Train comes by right behind the bar which is kind of neat. I'd go back for sure! read more

Finally got to try one of the Abington dining spots that I've been wanting to go to both here and the Abington Ale House . They have a good outdoor patio . I had one if the best clam chowders that I've had in a long time other than the Seafood chowder at Fresh Catch Mansfield which is tough to beat . For dinner I had an incredible Meatloaf and Garlic Mashed . The portion was so huge I had to take it home . The only negative were that the Baileys on the Rocks I ordered was hardly existent in the plastic cup . I definitely will return . read more

Amazing little restaurant and bar. They treat you like they've known you forever. Loved it

Ate there two weeks ago on a Saturday night , ordered the tips and chicken. I must have misunderstood the waitress because my chicken came out grilled with no sauce, it was very dry, and all I got were 3 teriyaki steak tips. I didn't like the sides so I ordered French fries, which were skimpy too. I left most of the dry chicken, the 3 steak tips were amazing, their fries crispy. Next time I'll order the steak tip dinner. I'm sure I'll enjoy it more . read more

Loudest restaurant I have ever been to. I don't mind a party atmosphere but when my husband can't hear me speaking across a small table, it's too damn loud. It was only 6:15 on a Saturday so we weren't hitting the big drinking crowd yet but people were literally screaming at one another across the bar. We couldn't wait to get the hell out of there!!! read more

Worth going to just for the steak tips and loaded mashed potatoes. They come BBQ, Teriyaki or Cajun. The Cajun are!

The serice was fanastic, the quality of food was low and the noise level on the high side. This is with only two tables used and 1/4 the bar full. At 1/2 full on bar and 1/2 full on resturant this place would not be bareable with the noise level. They definately need noise canceling tiles on the ceiling as having a conversation with anyone who talks at a normal converstation level would be unheard sitting 2 feet away. read more

I love the Depot! Drinks are poured strong, food is served with a smile, and all my good girlfriends are waitresses and bartenders there!!! Very cool old train depot building and when the train goes roaring by it scares the crap out of you. Check it out if you are in the area. You won't be sorry. read more

My Dad and I stopped in for a little late lunch on a Saturday, probably around 3:30 or 4:00 PM. The place was dead as a doornail. There were about 3 people at the bar (and later on, what i can only describe as some sort of hillbilly bachelorette party... but that's for another time). The service here was good, nothing outstanding, but they got the food out quickly, refilled the drinks. No complaints, so that's more than most restaurants. I went with a burger, given the look of the place, I figured it'd be the safest bet. My Dad went with the cup of Clam Chowder. His Clam Chowder was great, my burger was hit-or-miss. It certainly wasn't a burger I'd run back to get in the near future, but it was good enough to finish. The whole place just left me with a really meh experience. I loved being next to the track, especially when the train rumbled by, but wouldn't it be neat to actually be able to see it? Ya... so... nothing wrong with the place, but nothing to write home about either. read more

This is one of my top favorite small Mom and Pop restaurants/bar. Everything they serve is fresh and the portions are huge. Specials are delicious. Drinks are always made perfectly. Warm and cozy. Always feel at home! Love it! read more

Wife and I moved to Abington a little over a year ago. Since then, we haven't been lucky with the local restaurant scene with most hitting on the bar scene and missing on the food, or the other way around. So, when we stopped by the Depot yesterday afternoon for lunch, we were thrilled to find a place that nails it. It's located in a beautiful, historical building with stone walls and high, wooded ceilings. It used to be a train station, way back when, but has since been converted. The railroad tracks behind the building are still active so when a train rumbles by (when the T is working), the whole building shakes. Pretty cool! It was just about luppertime, 2 PM. We got there and were seated immediately on the bar side in a comfortable booth. It wasn't crowded, but the bar was full. The menu isn't huge and offers your typical bar fare: apps, pizza, burgers, sandwiches. Even though we didn't opt for the daily specials, they looked good with fresh ingredients. The waitress, Kathy, promptly came over with a smile and took our drink order and came back in a short time. Wife had ordered a bottle of Bud; she delivered draft. No biggie, beer is beer. I got Sierra Nevada, draft (good, not great beer selection). She then took our food order: cup of cream of broccoli soup, grilled chicken sandwich w/ fries, buffalo chicken sandwich w/ onion rings. About 10-15 minutes later she brought the food over. No soup. But Kathy realized and brought over a cup immediately. We both agreed the food was delicious. Definitely fresh, delivered hot and tasted great. The soup was creamy and and made with fresh broccoli. Both chicken sangies were cooked perfectly. Nice sear on the grilled and nice crunch on the fried. Both rolls and toppings were fresh. After we finished, Kathy came over and apologized for slightly missing our order. At this point, the food and service more than made up for the errors! She gave us the bill and we realized she hadn't charged us for Wife's soup or beer. UNACCEPTABLE Kathy!! We gladly paid for the entire meal and handed the bill directly to Kathy on our way out. The Depot is a local joint with typical fare, but the excellent customer service and casual atmosphere will bring Wife and I back time and again. Thank you, Kathy!! read more

One of my favorite townie, local hangout type places. This is definitely a townie bar, but everyone that comes in receives friendly and attentive service. Its a warm, cozy, welcoming place and you can't help me reminded of what it was in its earlier life as trains will occassionally go wizzing by. I can understand some of the less than positive reviews on some of the entrees. They can be hit or miss. However, for pizza, burgers, chili and appetizers it never misses. The nachos are fantastic (probably some of the best I have ever had), the beer selection is really great and they make a heathy (strong) cocktail! One of the best things about the Depot is how much they give back to and support their community. They are a fabulous business and I am happy to park my butt on a stool and support them (with nachos..) read more

Went to dinner here for the first time on Friday night. Wished I had come ages ago!! Got the Prime Rib and my GF got the Steak Tips. Everything was delicious. Strong & tasty martini's. Cool old building, fun bar area to hang and play a little keno. read more

In a few words .... Don't eat here In detail. I went here since I'd only been here once many years ago, and didn't have much opinion either way. The building itself is nice, inside and out, and me and my family went in on a Sunday night and were sat right away, with what seemed like 20 or so locals hanging around watching the football game. There was what appeared to be only one waitress, so service was slow. I will say however, she was nice, good at her job and while we had to wait for attention, she checked in, and was good at what she did, so I tipped her well as a result. The FOOD poor, cheap, disappointing. I ordered friend haddock, garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli. My haddock was clearly something out of a freezer bag and slapped on a plate, my mashed potatoes were closer to soup, weren't even edible, and my "steamed" broccoli was raw. I paid $16 for this meal, and that's why my review is so poor. It's too bad because I'd like to have another local place to mix into the restaurants I visit, and it'd be nice if I didn't have to frequent the chain restaurants as much, but after that meal, I won't be back. read more

Things I like about the Depot are the comfortable atmosphere & it is in a very cool building. It's a nice place to meet friends for drinks and perhaps an appetizer, but I would go elsewhere for a fancy dinner, since they definitely serve bar food there... but hey, the drinks are great, the staff is very nice & friendly, they have a Trivia night, Keno and are open until 1 am. read more

Went to the depot for dinner this evening with my wife and 88 year old mother in law. My mother in law sort of has a hard time getting up and down sometimes so while she was trying to seat herself our waitress rolled her eyes. our waitress was very short with my mother in law and that right there bothered my wife and I. Our waitress took our drink order and my mother in law ordered her dinner as she was very hungry, we ordered an appetizer. our waitress didn't come back to check on us for about 15 minutes. when she finally did, my wife and I ordered our meals. Our appetizer and my mother in laws meal came and both were eaten and once again, no sign of our waitress. after waiting for almost 45 minutes for our dinners, they came out as we were getting ready to leave so we told them to take them off our bill and we paid and left. My wife and I had first come here just one week ago and had a delicious meal, don't know what happened in a week but tonight was awful! read more

Gone to the Depot 6x in the last 6 months, each time the food was worse than the last time. Not sure who the cook is but everything is overcooked. We have tried the fish (rubbery) the pork chop (not even edible/burnt) steak (ordered med/rare) came out med/well. Sides are always the same - if you order a baked potato, your meal ends up coming out with rice. The staff is young, however very attentive and polite. Certainly not the servers fault the food is bad. The drinks are about the only thing good about this place. Better a Pub than a restaurant. read more
