The first restaurant you'll notice when you arrive in Cold Spring is right by the train station. I visited on a weekday, and while most places in town were fairly quiet, this one was buzzing with people. I ordered the double cheeseburger with fries. They didn't ask how I'd like the burger cooked, and the patty was cooked to a standard doneness. It wasn't the best burger I've ever had, but it was hearty, satisfying, and definitely filling. Nothing beats an ice-cold beer after a hike. Compared to Manhattan, the prices were very reasonable, making the meal feel like a great value. One of the best parts is the location right next to the railroad tracks--you can enjoy your meal while watching the trains pass by, which gives the place a unique charm. If it's your first time visiting Cold Spring, I'd recommend starting your trip here. read more

Cold Spring Depot doesn't take reservations and there was a line when we arrived. Surprisingly it moved pretty quickly and we were seated in about 20 minutes. There's some parking in front of the restaurant but good luck finding an open spot! We requested a high chair for our kiddo. The first one was broken and the replacement had a ripped safety strap. Unfortunately, they didn't have any others available. The unique thing about this restaurant is that it's right next to the train tracks. At first it was really cool watching the trains go by, especially for the kids. But they came by much more often than we expected and the novelty wore off pretty quickly. The trains are literally less than 10 feet from some of the tables. Not necessarily a negative, just something to know since it definitely shapes the dining experience. They do have a kids menu. We originally wanted to try the Chicken Tinga Egg Rolls but they were sold out that day. The fish and chips were good and the portions were huge. The fried calamari was also pretty good. The Double Double Burger was just an average cheeseburger. It was fine but definitely overpriced for what it was. We also ordered some kind of garlic bread that I couldn't find again on the online menus. It was toast with garlic, cheese, and some kind of jam spread. I really didn't like it. Service ranged from okay to almost absent. It was a holiday weekend and our waitress seemed to be covering a lot of tables so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Everything here was pretty expensive which made some of the misses harder to overlook. Overall, the train side location makes for a unique experience, especially if you have young kids who like trains. The food was decent overall but considering the prices, I expected a little more. 3.5 rounded down. read more

First time here. Place looks a little old. There is a small bar. I liked the vibe. I had a chicken sandwich that was delicious! I had a great IPA on tap! Win! Win! Nice place to have a meal and a drink. read more

Girlfriend and I came here for a quick bite after our hike and out of pure connivence since it's right by the Metro North. Once we arrived the staff didn't seem to acknowledge us much and after standing for 3-5 min we were finally greeted by Jorge C. Right from the beginning we could tell he had a very bad attitude, no smile no warm welcome. We tried giving him the benefit of doubt but once he took our order, we didn't even get to finish ordering before he walked away without asking us for our drinks! Food was decent nothing to rave about the waitress who brought out our food was sweet. Burger was very average and chicken sandwich was fresh made to order. The worst was yet to come.... As we were paying for our meal I hand him the credit card as I quickly ask to see the receipt since our train was coming. He then proceeded to ask a very presumptuous question of "how much would you like to tip?" I replied what I thought was a decent tip being that we weren't really ordering much and it wasn't very busy. He apparently wasn't satisfied with my suggestion because then he asks in a very condescending tone "was everything alright with your service?" I was completely shocked as he then tells me we "need" to at least leave 10%-15% as tip. I felt pressured in the moment and agreed with 10%. Never in my entire dining experiences have I ever been forced or coerced into tipping at a restaurant ! Especially being from NYC. Needless to say we will never be coming back here again. read more

Hands down one of my favorite restaurants. Stopped here twice after a long hike and it hits the spot, especially on a beautiful day where you can sit outside. The burger with fries is the best option, but I'm bias because that is my favorite food. Workers are always very respectful, and service is quick despite how crowded it can get on a sunny, warm day. Also, they gave me the best diet coke I've ever had! read more

I will say that the ambience makes up for a lot of this review. It's not too far from an underground interesting tunnel, right next to an old train station. The restaurant itself looks like it's an old train station that was reconstructed into a restaurant. There's indoor and outdoor seats. I didn't really take too many pictures of the food because like I said, the ambience in the area is the most appealing thing at least about this restaurant to me if I'm being completely honest. The train even passes by every once in a while, giving a unique aspect to it. However, I got the pretzel. The pretzel itself was hard. Wasn't a fan. And then I got a chicken sandwich which I will say I'd give a seven out of 10. My partner before we broke up ironically enough later on that day. Got a hamburger and he said it was better than a regular burger at McDonald's, but not anything that beats potentially a diner burger. Do with that information what you will. Ultimately speaking, I will say for a smaller area, the food wasn't too bad and I would recommend recommended if you're in the general vicinity. read more

Love this place! Cold Spring Depot is in a tiny village NW of Peekskill NY that I found along a meandering way north last year and wished I'd made note of its location. Abundant outdoor seating extends the small bar & dining areas squeezed into an old train station. The bar feels intimate while the dining area is a bit more social and the garden seating casual. The food has been great as we happened to find our way there twice now. read more

Stopped here after a long hike to to fire tower in beacon where I got to enjoy the westher, sunbathe on a rock and take in the view by the time we made it down we were starving and decided to stop for burgers at this restaurant. I cant tell you if it was my hunger but as I waited on line To get in everyones food looked mouth watering. When my garlic truffle sandwich arrived, it couldnt wait to dig in. It was supper tasty and in good for the price. The truffles fries were supperv. My friend ordered the double double burger(2 4oz burger patties w cheese and onion) and he had no complaints. I dind order cocktails but they looked good and decently priced. Best of all,is PET FRIENDLY. Overall an amazing outdoor sitting experience. Loved it and will definately coming back to try other items from their menu. read more

Ok, to be honest -- I've been to the Cold Spring Depot twice, and each time I got the same thing -- so I'm truly giving five stars to the double-double burger, which is one of the best burgers I've ever had! I take that back -- I'm also giving the place five stars because the servers and other team members I encountered were all lovely. I've also gone at non-typical meal hours and noticed there's always a few people there, whether inside or out, enjoying the peace and quiet (until a train comes through and scares the hooey out of you!). Both times I sat, took my time with my burger and soda, read my book and just enjoyed the peace there. Definitely plan to go back -- and maybe next time I'll try something new! (Then again, if it ain't broken...) read more

It was yummy! I got the fish and chips which came with fries, tartar sauce, goddess greens, and a wedge of lemon -- pro tip is to use the lemon on the salad and dip the fish into the Tabasco before tartar sauce. The acid will cut right through and complement the dish great! Portion of fish wasn't the hugest for $28 but was very crispy! Partner got the double burger which was also good with the fries! Great spot to fill up after the bull hill hike! The surrounding town also has a lot of cute antique and specialty stores!! Things are pricy though. The vibes were elegant with ample outdoor and indoor seating. read more

I was in town for a day and after spending my morning hiking, I was looking for food and air conditioning. I got that and more from this spot! The staff were so so so kind. The two servers worked in tandem so I was very taken care of. They answered questions, gave recommendations, and never rushed me. The food was very good. I was very full and still wanted to keep eating. I had a delicious burger and crisp beer on a hot summer day! No complaints here! read more

Older building and bathroom but very unique atmosphere. High quality food and beverages. Attentive staff. Plenty of parking.

To be frank I did not have high expectations for Cold Spring Depot but they exceeded my expectation! I dined at this restaurant with my mom on Mother's Day and it was busy but was still able to be seated in the outdoor bar area. It was a beautiful sunny day and they have plenty of outdoor seating with shade. The loaded hummus platter inspired and surprised me!!! It had cucumbers, tomatoes, bell peppers, capers, black olives, feta cheese and a good olive oil served with a buttery naan. I don't know why I've never thought of adding these things to hummus but I will never eat it plain again. My mom had calamari and cherry ancho wings. The bar tender was so sweet, catering and attentive. The whole staff was super nice as well. The food was delicious and will definitely be returning whenever I visit Cold Spring NY. Thank you for the inspiration!! read more

Service here was very friendly and helpful on recommending menu items, plus glad they up on refilling the water often since it was pretty hot outside. For the food the cheesesteak egg rolls were great, plenty of seasoned beef and glad they were not piping hot. Do wish they had more cheese since it was not cheesy. Dipping sauce was on point. For the pasta Luna which is just spaghetti in fra diavolo sauce, good amount of squid and shrimp cooked just right and definitely a right portion of spaghetti. The sauce I will give you could been more spicy, but still great. Do appreciate a portion cup of Parmesan cheese since it's more than most places would just sprinkle on top. read more

The Nashville Hot Fried Chicken Sandwich was huge. As soon as I saw the sandwich sitting on someone's table as I walked in, I knew that's what I wanted to order. The scent of the food here did not set me up for disappointment. The chicken was so crispy you could hear it. I personally liked the Nashville hot flavor okay, and it wasn't super spicy. The restaurant had a ton of outdoor seating, including seating next to the train (super cool if you ask me), but it also had a lot of indoor seating. Our larger group of 6 was able to fit comfortably at a table indoors in a section that was decorated to feel like a home. I really have never truly seen a homey restaurant until stepping into this place. I loved the generous serving of fries, and I nearly finished them all despite how full I was. read more

This place was great for what I needed . after a long day of hiking , and most restaurants closed at eight to nine p.m., this restaurant right by the train station is extremely convenient if you're trying to leave town and quite filling for a reasonable price. We got the double double burger, and the Pueblo burger (I think that's what it was called). Burger is much better than the double double. The double double was just a regular burger. Not much flavor. But the burger with the roasted peppers it was delicious. Quite soggy though and it fell apart. But it's a good messy burger. The fries, we agreed were terrific and by far the biggest strength of the meal. George was extremely kind to us and gave us recommendations for upstate getaways. I really appreciate his service and his kindness. read more

We came here for lunch. We initially tried to sit outside but there were a lot of bees/wasps which made it uncomfortable. They kindly re-sat us indoors which was super cozy with a fireplace.

Came on a Saturday and there was a line, but it moved pretty quickly. Seated outdoors within 10 minutes. Service was fast and friendly. The shrimp and soup were delicious but the sandwiches are lackluster. The nashville hot fried chicken sandwich was barely spicy and the steak sandwich lacked seasoning. The truffle fries were good though. Kinda pricey for what it was as well. read more

Thought the food here was average at best. Mostly burgers and sandwiches kind of thing but everything was pretty blah. We ordered the big pretzel with cheese to start. The pretzel was decent. It was soft, but the cheese sauce was really lackluster. For lunch, I had the German Oktoberfest burger with German potato salad. The burger was OK, the meat was a little overcooked, but apparently that's how they cook it. The potato salad was a joke. It was just red potatoes cut up with barely any seasoning on it. I don't really think that's how German potato salad is! My girlfriend ordered the cauliflower appetizer as well as the shrimp appetizer. The cauliflower was really Sour and was fair at best. The shrimp tasted kind of weird, but the sauce was good. She ordered an extra plate of fries as well, and they were also only fair. The service was a bit slow as well and the bartender although he took care of us was really kind of Blah as was the food. read more

I don't understand why this place doesn't have over 4 stars on Yelp. I stopped here with my mom before heading back to NYC and the burger was absolutely phenomenal. I ordered the veggie one since I'm vegetarian. The sauce gave it some extra flavor, the quac was a great touch, and the burger patty itself hit the spot! Fries were also very crispy. They have an lovely outside patio where we sat and enjoyed the beautiful day. I'll definitely be coming back here. read more

Awesome place to grab food and drinks after a hike! This place is right at the entrance of Cold Springs next to the metro. We came here after a morning hike and devoured the food here! The Brussel sprouts were good with a fun twist. It had fermented kimchi pieces with gochujang and peanuts on it with surprisingly complimented the sprouts really well. It was a nice appetizer to share. I got the Double Double burger while my friend got the Blue Cheese burger and they were both amazing. They were huuge with juicy fat chunks of meat in the middle. My friends loved their fries too. I'd come here again to try their lighter options as well! read more

Convenient place to stop in for a lunch bite after a hike or before heading out on the train. We were in town with our dog for the corner and we're just in time to beat the weekend summertime lunch rush. No reservations. We sat outside and our server set us up with a water bowl for our dog. Other outdoor tables had dogs with them as well so it seems like a popular place for dog owners. We ordered the pull apart pizza bread, chicken tacos, and double double burger. The burger was really the star of the meal. The other two dishes were nothing too special. We were in and out in under an hour, which is something we look for when dining with our dog. When we were leaving, there was a queue of at least 6 parties looking for a table, most larger groups with dogs and/or strollers. Worth mentioning that there were quite a few bees out and about, pestering most outdoor tables. They also do have the MNR/Amtrak track behind the restaurant so it does get quite loud for a brief moment when trains pass through, most at full speed. read more

Their double double burger is so good and their truffle fries are a hit! You will not miss with that :) we order also a pretzel as an entree and it was pretty good, specially the cheese sauce. I love the open patio, but I wish they had the patio umbrellas, so you get a little shadow from the sun. The servers are nice but the service is a little slow. So be patient, when the food arrives is going to be worth it. read more

Average burger and fries with high price point. I would give this more a 3.5. I wasn't blown away from this burger. The best thing was that it had 2 patties, so it did add to the higher price point.

The food was probably not the best in hindsight but when we sat down after our rock scramble and hike in 0C in New York autumn, man this was the best meal ever. Get the giant pretzel with beer cheese dip to share with your friends, definitely recommend. We found the loaded poutine a little much, though their fries are pretty good, just get them with a burger. Would recommend the spicy bbq chicken burger the most. And if you're feeling generous definitely splurge to get the garlic truffle fries - they were really a step up. Best way to end a hike. It is a bit overpriced and leaves you feeling a little greasy; and not the best ambiance inside (a little stuffy and low energy), but come with a good group and the company will see you through!! read more

Terrible attitude of the staff!!! The child fell! An accident happened to my child today in this restaurant( My three-year-old son and I were leaving the door, my son was walking in front of me when a waiter ran up with a full tray of food and knocked my child down, he just didn't see him. My baby just rolled head over heels and fell. At that time, the waiter could barely keep his balance, the tray was wobbling and he was screaming oh my god. I was scared that he would fall with this tray on my child, I grabbed him by the shoulders from behind and helped him keep his balance. Luckily, the huge tray didn't fall. To everyone's understanding, they walk around there with trays with a lot of food and often with knives inside the burgers. And so the waiter disappeared, another waitress, a girl, is standing at that moment smiling, my baby is on the ground scared and with a bruised knee. It was terrible. But the worst thing is that no one came up to us to help us in any way. And even when we returned to our table, not a single person apologized, didn't even offer to put ice on our knee. We had to hurry to catch a train home to New York, so we quickly ate and left. And now my child with a bruised knee can't sleep because it hurts. Maybe tomorrow we'll have to seek medical help. I'm writing this in the hope that the restaurant management will see this and maybe react somehow at least here. If you're interested, this happened today, August 31, 2025, when we were leaving the restroom between 4 and 5 pm. Thank you for your attention read more

Driving through this small town, decided to stop by for a bite. Location is nice - surrounded by the quaint town, it's right by the train tracks and the water is not too far off.

Came here the first time because there was nothing else open and were pleasantly surprised. We ate inside because it was cold out, and it's decorated like an old library, very nice, it also doesn't hurt that it's right next to the train. We got 2 ice cold draft beers, the bacon burger and the sausage platter and were very happy about our choice. Next time we were in Cold Spring we came here again. The weather was great and we ate outside. This time I got the blue cheese burger with truffle fries and the sausage platter again. Everything was delicious second time too. read more

This was our second visit to Cold Spring and we almost skipped on dining due to how busy everything was and a previous disappointment, however we opted for this spot and I'm so grateful we did.
