As a vegan, it's great to go to a restaurant with a dedicated vegan sub-menu. No need to ask if they can modify a plate, or ask about the ingredient list. Very very good prices, and evidently everything is cooked to order. It has a gas station diner vibe. Highly recommended! read more

This is a great hometown spot. They actually know how to make over medium eggs that aren't runny, but have a little of the golden egg. The hashbrowns were crispy. The bacon was perfect. The chicken fried steak for breakfast is a great bargain. We enjoyed everything I thought maybe my country potatoes could've been a little less greasy. But my husband loved their crispy hashbrowns. So maybe order those instead. read more

This place is definitely okay, it's a tiny breakfast joint. I was in the area and hungry and it did the job. I ordered a pretty standard breakfast with eggs and toast (hardly toasted tbh), maybe they specialize in something else. The concept is heavy self-service, you order at the counter and pick a table and wait for them to bring your food, then you grab all your silverware and sauce etc. The staff were very friendly so that was nice. read more

Great cafe food where you order counter side and serve yourself the coffee, drinks, condiments and flatware and paper napkins. The food and atmosphere makes you think you'd see waitresses greeting guests and refilling coffee cups but it's all sit and serve yourself. They do bring the hot food orders to your table and everything we ordered was delicious. The fresh cake slices at the counter looked very good and the lady taking money at the counter was very nice. A good breakfast at a good price. read more

My family and friends absolutely LOVE this place!!! The staff is amazing & food is delish!!!! I have my favorite go to - Vegan Migas & Miss Lucy knows exactly what I order regardless if it's takeout or we dine in!!! Great food, great people and great environment!! read more

This place is my go-to for classic Southern comfort food. The chicken fried steak and eggs? Absolute perfection - crispy, hearty, and hits just right every time. It's always clean, the prices are solid, and the food tastes like something your grandma would make (if she were a really good cook). The fried catfish, burgers, and okra are always winners too. Yes, Main Street is basically a maze right now thanks to construction, but don't let that stop you, they've still got plenty of parking on their lot once you actually find your way in. This place has been a Frisco staple since the late 90s. Go check it out for a slice of Frisco nostalgia! read more

Never tried this place. Be aware there is heavy construction in and around this business. That didn't stop me. I walked went straight to the order counter. The lady was friendly and pleasant She took my order quickly. It was a biscuit w egg n cheese. It was pretty good. I will try more food here. Only issue it was tiny. For $5.40 it should have been bigger. read more

This place can get VERY packed and busy on a weekend. The boyfriend and I have come here twice for breakfast/brunch. You order at the counter,and the food comes out pretty quick. My thing is that I don't like how I am always seeming to need to add more to my plate? Things that I feel have been sstandard in diners? -Grits don't come seasoned-- they were plain. I had to add hella salt and pepper. -The boyfriend had to add a lot of things to his huevos rancheros scrambled eggs-- cheese,onion,bell pepper,cheese.not come on scrambled eggs. Of course the extras are only .35/each, but it can add up?? At least they ask if you want corn/flour tortillas when getting a mexican inspired dish. The staff is friendly enough for being extremely busy and I liked all of the antique pictures and odds and ends around the dining room... Maybe we should come back and try a lunch or dinner menu item, but as far as I feel, this place is JUST OK. And it might be popular because the food comes out fast and people know it's an ordinary type of place? read more

The Depot Cafe - Chorizo and eggs did not have cheese?? I thought that maybe it would sso I did not ask for it on the "extras" menu - American Near Me - Frisco, Texas

A friend took me here for lunch. Almost everything they have comes frozen, french frys onion rings chicken fish . Not a fan of frozen foods. Even the veggies were from frozen. Gravy is from a package that they add water to. Not my type of country cooking but their business was busy. I don't understand why. read more

We got our food to-go this Sunday for breakfast! The biscuits and gravy is so good! It's the classic taste you would want every time and good price for the portions we got! read more

My go to place for a nice casual and filling breakfast in downtown Frisco! Great food, attentive service, and a warm, friendly atmosphere. Definitely one of the local spots that everyone needs to try once; most who try it once will be back. They have a special menu just for the vegan community. Not something I need, but it's nice for friends of mine who appreciate it. read more

The food was fine, there was no service. It's pretty much once they deliver your food you're on your own. Getting into the restaurant parking lot is a total pain in the ass because the construction, which isn't their fault. Other than that, I might try them again someday read more

Breakfast was very good and food came out fast. I've been meaning to try this place as I heard it was a good spot for breakfast. It was just as described and a nice break from places that try to be hip or cute just to fail in the food and service. I look forward to going back. read more

The Depot Cafe is owned and ran by The Francis family business. The oldest continuously run business in Frisco. The Depot is a treasure to long time residents of Frisco Texas and is a meeting place for locals to enjoy breakfast or lunch. The food is mostly southern comfort food, with cafe specials daily. Friday is pot roast and you won't find it better anywhere else. If it's not Friday I order the smaller catfish plate and it's really good. Lately it has been on the fishy side but it's still a favorite of mine. The service is always friendly because everyone that walks into the cafe is treated like family. So, if you're in Frisco to visit the STAR, take in a soccer game or shopping at IKEA don't miss having breakfast or lunch at this local treasure. read more

The Depot Cafe is a casual diner that is a great choice for breakfast. If you are a boujee breakfast lover, you should probably avoid my breakfast reviews. I am a divey, casual, diner style kind of guy. Think S&H Good Eats in Slidell. The Depot is one such place and if you are like me, you will like it. Breakfast is standard and unfancy. You can probably get fruit for a pancake but I encourage the standard breakfast fare. I did my usual western omelet. It was cooked well, had the perfect stuff to egg ratio, and wasn't too fluffy. I hate fluffy omelets. Service is friendly and prices are reasonable. read more

Classic friendly well priced diner breakfast and lunch! Everything was freshly made and served with a smile.

Some friends of ours invited us to the annual Frisco Community parade and said they were going to get there early and have breakfast at The Depot Cafe. Not being in the area very often I didn't know anything about The Depot Cafe what to expect, but we were pleasantly surprised. The restaurant is attached to a gas station so it looks underwhelming, but the service and food was great! They have lots of options on the menu and will help you with your order if you find yourself not being able to choose from all the delicious options. We had a large group with adults and children so we split into 3 different tables. The kids ate together and the people bringing out the food did a wonderful job figuring out who the food belonged to, which was definitely not something we expected them to do. My kids ordered the chocolate pancake and French toast which they both really enjoyed. I ordered a breakfast taco that was so good I'm trying to find an excuse to drive back over there and get another one...lol. The taco was as big as my face and I wasn't even able to finish it. I got the potato, bacon and egg and it was hands down one of the best breakfast tacos I've ever had. I opted to get both of their sauces and it was absolutely the right choice. Because it was a little chilly outside we also ordered hot chocolate for the kids. We were provided with hot chocolate packets so we mixed it with the right amount of water for each of the girls which was perfect. Some like it with more water, some with less, so the ability to make it to our liking was a definite plus. This place is really great, and I've heard their lunch specials are even better than the breakfast, so I absolutely recommend it but encourage you to get there early to beat the rush. read more

I visit this restaurant weekly for breakfast. It has down home food in a cozy atmosphere. I usually have the oatmeal, fruit or an egg white veggie omelette. The service here is friendly. I feel like family and the staff takes care to get everything right. read more

Great food served quickly. Go there on Satuday or Sunday for breakfast. Whether it is the wife and myself or the whole family always plenty of parking and room inside. read more

I pass by this places on a weekly basis and NEVER thought a thing about it. One day, Yelp sent out an email about brunch near me an as I was going through the list, the Depot popped up and low and behold....VEGAN OPTIONS. And not just one! Several options! Gluten free too! ((insert mind blown emoji here!)) Even my husband said "you wouldn't think a place like this would offer such options." hahahaha! However, they do and the french toast is amazing. Ever since I saw the pictures and reviews of it I knew that's what I needed. But when I got there and saw the menu and how inclusive it is for people with dietary restrictions, I will be going back to try their tacos and gluten free/vegan pancakes! My husband got their depot breakfast and mentioned how he didn't ask for gravy. Being Texas, pretty much every breakfast comes with a side of gravy down here lol. If you're ordering for a kid, the portion is going to be big so just one pancake will feed 2 hungry kiddos just fine. They have a hot station by the drinks which has a pretty decent line up all types hot sauce! The overall charm of this place is very much so "I'm a breakfast spot next to a gas station" but it also has a good amount of Frisco history in there to spark your interest. The customer service is also really awesome! read more

This is an uncomfortable review to write- and I never thought I'd be writing a review of this nature. The food we ordered was great! I enjoyed the vegan French toast and the southwestern tempeh taco. The environment was alright- clean, quiet, a little unwelcoming with everyone looking at you coming in. I got the vibe it might be a place for regulars. What was really upsetting was the fact that there was a large pile of feces that appeared in the middle of the restaurant floor during our dining experience (it was also a noticeable smell) which immediately made us lose our appetites to the point of needing to go outside as I felt physically ill. We notified staff who seemed unphased and stated that they would take care of it. I recognize this is not the fault of the staff or related to the food, but it was a little startling that something very shocking was happening and we weren't addressed as customers how it affected the experience. I'm hopeful this type of thing doesn't happen often there, but I don't think I'll return back. read more

As a New Jersey diner snob, I tend to judge brunch spots very highly. The Texan brunch scene is way different, super local, and with huge servings to boot. And they just do gravy better. (There, I said it!) Had to be somewhat health-conscious this time around and ordered the Tempeh Tacos, which were savory, hearty, and filling. Tastes guilt-free if you ask me! read more

Comfort food at its best!!! Was worried because it was at a gas station but soon found out it was next door!!! LOL We loved this place and we will definitely be back when in the area!!!! Service was excellent and friendly! Cute lil restaurant! read more

I love this place. Lots of variety, great taste, generous portions, friendly service, and good prices.

The restaurant is located in downtown Frisco, next to a gas station, and it looks like the perfect local spot for breakfast. Service was great, and they gave us recommendations on the menu since it was our first time. You order before you sit down, and it's a self-service drink station. We ordered the depot scramble with biscuits, as well as a short stack of blueberry pancakes with a side of scrambled eggs. The blueberries in the pancakes were fresh and the pancake was pretty large. The gravy for the biscuits were fantastic. All in all, it was a good breakfast however not one of our favorite in the area. While the portions were fair for the price, we felt like we paid too much for the overall quality of food we ate. It's a great place to try out, and it's a very family oriented restaurant! read more

Great weekday specials plus each one comes with delicious cake! Call ahead for take away.

We came here with a soccer team and the service was quick, the food was great, and the staff was friendly and accommodating.

Excellent food! Plates are delivered to the table very quickly! Prices are very reasonable! Everything always arrives very hot and Fresh.

I have enjoyed breakfast at The Depot Cafe for years. The food is excellent, service is fast, portions are filling and price is reasonable. A consistent highlight over the years is Lucy taking orders behind the counter. She is in a perpetually good mood, funny, gracious, and enhances an already great way to start the day! read more

Don't be leary of the location or you'll miss out on a hidden Frisco gem. The Depot Cafe is great for families. Food is seasoned to perfection. If you enjoy food that tastes like it was cooked at your granny's house this is the spot. Everything is clean and well kept (to include the boys/men's restroom). Hospitality was Excellent! Breakfast that will make you need a nap read more

Loved their vegan options! We got the vegan french toast (yummy, a little pricey for just being toast, but worth it to me), tofu taco, and the vegan migas. They have almond milk for your coffee too. read more

A wholesome greeting at the register. The order taker takes her time and gives me all my choices. She is happy to repeat back all of my order with the 20 changes I made to it with no judgement. The food comes out fast. The wait staff is always checking the tables and making sure everything is flowing as needed. The food was what I expected. Atmosphere allows for conversation and you don't feel rushed like someone's waiting on your table well not at least when we were there during the week. I had to take my croissant and fruit to go since my omelette was Texas sized. read more
