    Really good fish fry! Drinks are strong at a reasonable price. Definitely small town vibes. Service was great & they had live music.

    We were welcomed immediately. The place was decorated with cute 4th festivities. We ordered a dirty Shirley and a Captain and Coke. The waitresses, Avril and Becca, were very friendly and good at their jobs. The food came out hot and delicious. Three of us ordered: fried mushrooms, onion rings, a side salad, a cheeseburger, and these delicious pretzels.

    All in all, a great fish fry stop! We made reservations since we heard it gets busy. They had already run out of perch due to shortages, so that was a bummer. They also said the kitchen was backed up but it made sense with how much they were turning out. We were seated and we put in an order for some wings - fried perfectly and juicy. It took a while to get our drinks throughout the night, but our server was very friendly. We got the cod and shrimp at our table. Some of the best cod in the area! Seasoned well, crispy coating, and good sized. The meals also came with choice of potato, rye bread, tartar sauce and coleslaw. We will definitely be back for that cod. And hopefully the perch!

    I can't believe I'm writing a review for The Depot before Stephanie H.! She and her mom turned me on to this place and it has been our go to for Friday Fish Fry in Caledonia/Racine. Or, if you're sitting at our table (and many others), a Friday Fish Bake! That's right. The Depot is very well known for their delicious baked cod. Seasoned beautifully, served on a bed of arugula, and a side of red buttery potatoes, this dish brings a bit of sophistication to the neighborhood. There ain't a whole lot goin' on around here except for the train chugging along the tracks every 15 minutes or so, hence the Depot name. Also recommended is the panko breaded perch, macaroni & cheese and possibly one of the fish on special. But overall, that cod bake is the way to go. Every time I've gone, the place is packed with hungry seafood eaters and happy drinkers. I've only come on Friday nights though, so just base this review on that fact. I recommend reservations unless your ok with a 30+ minute wait.

The place is quite big, if you see a full parking lot, don't worry, between the large bar, restaurant area and patio, you will find a place to sit. We went for Taco Tuesday. All of the food is great! The quesadilla had a lot of cheese and chicken, his taco's were as full as you could get them. Just because it says Taco Tuesday does not mean they only serve tacos. They have a great selection of Mexican food on Tuesdays. It was hard for me to choose, but I finally decided on a quesadilla for $9.50 and added rice and beans for $1 each. My husband chose the taco place for $10. Sour cream is an extra $1, salsa $.75. Bailey our server was great, she was spot on. Every employee greeted you with a smile and a hello. It is a nice atmosphere here, very friendly. Upon leaving, there were a couple at the bar that said goodbye and to have a nice night and chatted with us for a little bit. I am thinking they are regulars, It is so nice to have people do that and you never saw them before. Anyway, while we were there someone ordered spaghetti and meatballs, that is something I want to get from there. I almost asked if I could get a picture. 3 good size meatballs. We will definitely be back. Side note, we always go out early to avoid crowds and wait times. We were there around 4:30ish.

That beautiful, glorious grouping of cheese resting between two slices of toast was lifeboat in a sea of despair.

These were next level and our little one's eyes got so big and bright when we walked in. Then things went downhill - we got there right at 11am when they opened and we were seated at a table in the back by a hallway that had a draft. I asked if we could sit in the big room with more for my daughter to look at while we dined in. The waitress in that space rudely said "no" stating the room was still being cleaned and tables set up - major bummer. Our actual waitress was very sweet and attentive. We ordered a Mediterranean rice bowl (without meat so it was vegetarian-friendly), a Philly with onion strings and a slice of their seasonal peppermint cheesecake. The food was mediocre. The bowl was lacking and a small portion. If someone doesn't add a protein it would be nice if you at least added some more rice or cut the price down. Just my two cents. And there was a piece of metal in the onion rings which the waitress thought was from the scrubber they used to clean the equipment in back. They comped the Philly meal with the onion rings which I felt was the least they could do. I get it - things happen - and we didn't make a big deal about it but that's a deal breaker for us. Especially if our toddler is eating out with us because then I'm on edge waiting for the metal to make a repeat appearance and that's not enjoyable for anyone.
