Always consistent, fresh food, cooked correctly, prepared and plated excellently. James in service was on time and early. Always amazed at the staff co-operation! Locals and been going for years. Price point is excellent for portion and quality sizes read more

The ambiance was great with the seating being from old church pews. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. We just ordered appetizers which were very good. The cook accommodated our request of no sauce on the wings since they didn't have any dry rubs we asked if they could do old bay seasoning and they did for us. read more

This place has potential to be great as the location is killer. Walking distance from a playground or the river. The inside is very cute laden with antiques and drawings people have done while dining(my favorite part). Our server had great energy as well. The food however leaves much to be desired. Also a huge pet peeve is restaurants serving Kraft Mac and cheese. My thoughts on seeing the food was TV dinner-everything looked microwaved. Someone at our table ordered the ribeye medium rare and it was served with no pink. Genuinely everything looked like you would get it in a nursing home. Sorry to say but the food needs a complete overhaul. (Also, pretty sure they serve margarine instead of butter ) read more

Stopped by the Depot Grille after taking my littles to Amazement Square. While the service and cleanliness of the restaurant was good, the food was nothing exceptional. I got the buffalo chicken wrap and it was pretty bland. The ingredients were fresh but the chicken wasn't seasoned and they are light on the buffalo sauce. I got the butter noodles and chicken tenders for the kids and the portions were massive and overall they seemed to enjoy them. My friend got the pretzel sandwich and her only complaint was how messy it was. The food came out quick and they provided crayons and paper for the kids to keep them busy. They have a lot of options on the menu but I was not blown away by the experience. read more

Had lunch with friends while in Lynchburg. I believe that this is an old train station but not 100% sure. We were seated right away and our waitress did a good job. My wife had a greek salad with chicken and I had a club type sandwich with onion rings. It was typical bar type American style food, which is what you would expect. I would definitely go again. read more

A word to managers and owners, when you do not reply to a bad review it tells me and the world that you just do not care. Several days or weeks with no response, speaks volumes of your customer care attitude. Foreveryone else: The case of the disappearing hostess / waitress. (2/7/25 at 11:30-11:55) There was only one person at the desk she said "hi" and said she would also be my server. In a rush she dropped the menu and dashed off to serve others with my ice tea order in hand. In about 5 minutes I saw her again she dropped off my ice tea, then she was GONE. When I wanted to leave, she was no-where. I waited at the register for my bill for 10 minutes and still no waitress. Gone, where did she go" Was she too busy to take an order or to leave my slip. Was she off to the back room or did she over taken by the kitchen monster? With a fee for parking and lack of servcie this place has down a long ways down...they have lot to recover... read more

TDG does not go out of its way to distinguish itself from its competitors nor literally from other buildings in the rail yard. The food menu is quite extensive, with most of the items being fried or light on flavor, meanwhile, the beverage menu is rather limited, with an identity issue. Despite the atmosphere, prices are comparable to nicer establishments in the city. While the hustling FOH Team was friendly, their hovering leadership was selectively friendly, regardless, the uniform / dress code policy for both needs attention. Surprising hits & misses, but overall disappointing. read more

Jake is a great server! We went to DPO both nights we were in Lynchburg. The food was delicious and the portions were large! The lynchburg lemonade tasted better than the one you get in Epcot. The chicken tenders were juicy and flavorful. The Boxcar Brownie was delicious and worth the calories. Super cool place being in an old train station, and there are even trains that go past! It does get a little noisy when it's crowded as the walls are brick with some quilts hanging from the beams, but other than that it is definitely a must try! read more

We've eaten here a handful of times over the past 3 or 4 years when we take our kid to Amazement Square next door. The kids menu is reasonable and they enjoy watching the trains go by. Nice historic building. Food is consistently good- nothing mind blowing. They finally fixed their parking lot- or at least filled in some of the worst holes. read more

Excellent food and service! We went for dinner and were happy we did. Sierra, our waitress, was amazing. She was knowledgeable of the food choices, quick to refill drinks, and great personality. Our salads arrived chilled and plentiful. The raspberry vinaigrette dressing on the house salad was so good with a thick consistency. The grilled shrimp dinner came with a choice of two sides which I got coleslaw and a baked potato. The food arrived super hot was perfectly cooked. The Crusted Chili Chicken was sweet and tender with a little spicy kick to it. I look forward to my return. read more

Loved this restaurant. The place was cute, service was prompt and the food I ordered delicious.

We were hiking the Blackcreek Trail via Riverwalk Trail. Someone told us there was a restaurant near by. We arrived and it is BEAUTIFUL. We got so lucky. We stumble in after our 6 or 7 mile hike. The best service with great smiles and our waitress helped us look for drinks we would both liked. The strawberry cider was the best thing for my husband and I got a really nice lager. REFRESHING!!!! The decor is unique. It use to be an old train station . They show off the beautiful old brick walls and hanging from the rafters are quilts. The coolest part is all the church pews you get to sit in as you dine. That's the seating and the the places you put the hymnals is where they have the ketchup and such. They have great outside seating too. A lot of people were eating outside and taking advantage of the great weather. The Food is GREAT!!! My husband and I got 2 different meals but we split them so we can sample the wonderful food they have to offer. The Black Bean Burger with all the regular toppings and a really nice Kaiser roll. They make their own Black Bean Burger. SO it is NOT frozen. It is made FRESH right there. Really great and full of flavor with a side of guacamole. We love dipping our fries in that. The fries were awesome too. Crisp, fresh and HOT. The Southwest Chicken Wrap was filled with blackened chicken. Flavor highlights for me was the black bean and corn salsa with chipotle lime sauce. My taste buds were dancing. HAPPY DANCE. I was so happy they put the sour cream on the side. Since I can't eat sour cream. Perfect food and presentation was wonderful. read more

Just ate lunch. 4/25/25. Service was fast and friendly. Tomato basil soup was very good. Ordered ribeye steak Medium Rare. Steak arrived well done. Tasted ok but dry. No juice at all. Mentioned it to waitress who made no concessions or attempted to "fix" anything. Left ok tip but will not be back. First nice lunch on our first visit to this area was Bla! Beautiful setting though. read more

Really bad experience.. I was in town for business. Found this place, sounded good.. unfortunately not. Ribeye was a chuck steak.. I have grilled these at home.. but I didn't pay 32.00 a pound for it!! Should just sell a low quantity ribeye and not try and pass off a chuck steak. Black beans and rice was just that.. no peppers/onions or seasonings.. tasteless. Potato was good. Garden salad was as described.. Won't be back when in town, try the burgers!!?! read more

The food was very good. I had the Thai Chili Chicken. Well prepared. The service was great.

The food was horrible. We both had shrimp with broccoli and green beans and a salad. TASTLESS! Can't even imagine how to screw-up shrimp. Just because it's an "old train station" DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY. read more

The food was great and so were the drinks! Such a cute atmosphere as well and made for a good spot to enjoy dinner with friends. Our server checked on us but also gave us time to enjoy our food!! Their specials were also delicious read more

It was the perfect evening to sit on the covered porch while the rain gently fell. The service with Becky was fantastic. The food was delicious. It was a Friday night and well busy never felt unattended to once during our meal. We came here after a college tour on a road trip and it is by far one of our favorite evenings so far. Thank you for the hospitality and fine service. read more

I'd like to give a shout out to Depot Grill. My son and I go there a few times a month after school. Today they comped my meal because apparently they thought I waited too long. Mind you, I didn't complain nor ask how long it would take. They took it upon themselves to demonstrate good customer service and establish service wasn't up to THEIR standards. Things like that make you want to go back to a place (besides the great food!)! More pics to come! They just updated their menu. read more

Amazing burgers. Amazing fries. Amazing chicken tenders. All of our food was fantastic! Odd comment, but they have the best honey mustard I've ever tasted - I wish I could buy it by the bottle. The waitress was the single best I've had anywhere, ever - she was nice, attentive, and gave great service. We love this place - one of the best restaurants in all Lynchburg. read more

Fun location on the train tracks, but careful when it rains!!! Fast and friendly service. Feels upscale yet casual. Food was delicious and came quickly. I had the Parmesan crusted chicken with basil cream sauce and we took the peanut butter pie to go. I would go back for sure!!! read more

A strange establishment for sure in that everything here looks delicious but everything is also smaller and slightly more expensive than you would expect. The food was fantastic and I have no qualms about that but the size of any of the portions was just a little lacking. Despite the minor setbacks, the quality of this place is fine and I totally would go back! read more

I ate here while visiting Lynchburg for a weekend and had a great time! The restaurant was very accommodating to my dog that came along as well, service was fast, our server was friendly, and the food and beer were great. I dined here during brunch hours and ordered the chicken and waffles with a side of applesauce. It was super tasty and the waffles had almost a funnel cake vibe and were very unique! My boyfriend ordered the Bison Western with tater tots, and judging by how quickly he ate it, it was very tasty as well. It's in a great location, close to the water and some walking trails in Lynchburg and I would definitely recommend it! read more

We stopped here for a snack on our road trip. We loved this place. It is the old train depot right next to the train tracks. The inside of the restaurant was unique and made you feel welcomed. We sat outside since we had our dog with us. We ordered two appetizers for a snack and were not disappointed. The potatoes skins were fresh and delicious. We also had the battered mushrooms which were full of flavor that came with a horseradish cream sauce on the side. We enjoyed this restaurant and will be back. All safety protocols were followed and we felt that they were taking the restrictions seriously. read more

Downtown restaurant week is taking me back to some old favorites that I haven't visited for a while. I went with a friend on a Monday evening and have to admit that I enjoyed the conversation so much that I almost forgot to appreciate the meal which I mostly took home for another day! The Caesar salad was quite good and the coleslaw was wonderful. I will have to tell you about the card and broccoli tomorrow! The restaurant was quite busy but hardly noisy at all. I should go again when I can pay more attention to the food! This was one of the firstdowntown local restaurants that opened after I moved here 22 years ago when the Downtown revitalization was just beginning. read more

I had been here last year, and I loved the food. Last week I went again, and the food was awful. I paid $35 for a tiny dried out filet mignon which was clearly not marinated and tasted gamey. The baked potato was tiny, and I was given an extra-large head of tasteless broccoli which was undercooked. The service was fine, but this was too much to pay for a skimpy bland meal. I could have gone to Dennys and done better. This was a holiday week and maybe the second string was working but this was unacceptable. read more

What a great place! We liked lunch so much we came back a few hours later to enjoy wine and an app. Service was great ... very friendly staff. Nice atmosphere and the food was delicious. It was a busy crowd but servers had food to us very quickly and were frequently checking with us to make sure all was good. We were in town for the weekend and happened to stumble across the restaurant since it was in walking distance of our hotel. If we're ever back in Lynchburg we'll definitely be sure to drop by again! read more

Tried Depot grille couple weeks back and extremely enjoyed our meal. I got their chicken and waffles while my husband ordered a steak. His steak was very good, and he appreciated that it wasn't a lot of unrendered fat pieces which happens sometimes at restaurants. My chicken and waffles were amazing! Not your typical Belgium waffle style, which I loved. It's more dense and has a nice sweetness to it. And these aren't your Tyson chicken tenders you can tell it's been battered at the restaurant, which that alone won us over (my husband was already saying he would get those tenders next time cause he enjoyed the taste so much). Very good portion sizes for the price and wait staff was very good even on a busy night. Excited to try this one again! read more

I think I gave the depot only four stars because I like to think that every place has room for improvement! But now that I am back on my Downtown restaurant circuit I have to upgrade this place to five stars. First, they have cloth napkins! And second you can often take home leftovers for tomorrow's meal which is a great economy measure. And they kept my sweet tea glass filled and even remember to bring me some fresh ice on my third glass! read more
