We were pleasantly surprised with the atmosphere of this establishment. The staff were excellent. And the food was top notch. Everything on the menu looked appetizing. If you're in Mitchell, South Dakota you have to try this place. read more

Camping locally and stopped in for dinner. Great restaurant which is an old RR depot. You are next to the tracks. I went for the fried walleye and hubby went for the Rueben.. excellent food. Delish fries and salads. Homemade soups too! Really delicious! read more

Great food and great service. Popped in with my brother while I was in town for a visit and found the atmosphere charming. We both had the prime rib on special which comes with two sides. Our server Levi was lovely. Looking forward to returning. read more

Once again, a great experience at The Depot. Extensive beer selection, service was speedy and on point despite being one of the busiest night of the year for them (night before opening day). Chislic is a great appetizer, can't go wrong with any of their sandwiches (BLT was on point), and the French Onion soup was as good as ever. The Depot has consistently changed for the better over the past few years. We will definitely be back next year!! read more

A rustic sports bar which is a unique experience for us. The food is good. Lots of options on the menu. Good service; they were a little busy so there was a bit of a wait but much better than some of the other locations. Definitely worth a stop by! read more

We ate a late lunch there. The restaurant was not busy. Service was fast and friendly. Spouse ordered the special- a Russian and he was very happy with it. We both had asparagus soup and it was totally awesome. For a sandwich I chose the turkey with pepper Jack and tomato. The turkey was very dry. The tiny bit of cheese tried to hold the meat together, the slice of tomato was so thin. I am so glad there was a pickle along side to add some flavor... it was very blah. I tried sprinkling pepper on it. I would just take it off the menu. Trying to eat healthy had no flavor today. Waitress was so sweet and attentive . My only deduct was the sandwich! read more

We stopped by on our way to Sioux Falls. My husband and I both had burgers. They were great, albeit a bit messy. Easier to eat with a fork almost, but that's ok! I'd rather enough sauce than not enough. Great environment, would be fun in the summer. read more

Gave this place a 4* because we didn't eat but the food going to some tables looked fabulous. Large portions and plenty to share. This place is an old Train Depot from 1908. Nicely decorated after the renovation and there is a good vibe inside. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Yes, I would suggest you stop in and grab something to eat!! read more

Cheese cubes were good. Burgers were burnt. Paid way too much for poor quality. I would only go here to look at the station. read more

Friday, Oct 4 were there right on opening. A pompous short arrogant man seated us in the back? room, by the kitchen area...why we did not know as no one was there? Maybe because we are 60ish? He slammed our beverage glasses into the ice machine, right there is a health violation. And there we sat, and sat, and sat. The "host" strutted around the room away from us, others did as well until a wonderful young lady finally stopped to ask if we had been waited on. The food was mediocre when we finally got it. We are from Omaha, visiting through smallish towns in South Dakota and every dining experience was great...until this ridiculous place in Mitchell, SD. SHAME ON YOU! Diners, don't waste your money read more

Servers were extremely kind and helpful. The country/chicken fried steak was incredible my goodness. The burgers they have are really great as well. I don't recommend the boneless wings though........ read more

Service was superb with prompt, kind servers. The food was average American cuisine. The French onion soup was mostly bread and very salty. The Ruben sandwich didn't have much kraut, but plenty of meat. At the entrance, there is a fresh popped popcorn machine that was tasty and a hit with my kids. The restaurant had plenty of seating and a great pub atmosphere. read more

A great place to eat in the center of Mitchel. My wife and I enjoyed dinner here Monday night after Pheasant openers. Our waiter was very attentive and handled our menu questions with ease. I ordered a smoked bourbon Manhattan to begin our night. It was spot on. I was not expecting that type of sophistication from the bar. We both ordered burgers that were both cooked to our preferred Med-Rare. The beef was very tasty and the Jalapeño raspberry sauce on mine was delicious. -1 star for the luke warm fries. read more

I sit here writing this review in a bit of astonishment. In the post-Covid days of leaving the customer behind, we have a restaurant that thinks of nothing less. Drinks filled, plates cleared, and... get this... wonderful food! read more

The food was delicious and the staff and service were great. I recommend the broiled walleye because a) it was delicious and b) you can't order this in very many places. The staff said it's one of their most popular dishes and after eating it, I believe them. We enjoyed their homemade salsa and chips with queso. Finally, we had a french dip sandwich on a gluten-free bun. The availability of a gluten-free bun is yet one more reason to dine here if that's important to you. The staff were very friendly and after I left my credit card on the table they gladly mailed it to me. We can't recommend this place enough and we look forward to dining here our next time through Mitchell. read more

This is one of your late night restaurant options in Mitchell. I liked that they offered complimentary popcorn from a popcorn machine (self-serve). For negatives however, our waitress was curt, the French onion soup was super salty, and the cod dinner had a small portion of cod. When we left, we agreed we would have rather gone to Ruby Tuesday's. read more

We stopped at the Depot after visiting the Corn Palace. The food was great, the place is beautiful, and the staff is very friendly. I had the grilled chicken sandwich while my kids loved the macaroni and cheese. I would definitely visit again if I'm ever in the area. read more

The venue was nice. Very comfortable. The weight staff was not very good. They were very slow and they got our order wrong. The food was OK. I'd go there again if I was hungry, but couldn't say I'd recommend it. read more

We took our first trip for a meal out at a restaraunt last weekend and chose the patio at The Depot. Our usual waitress was working, so nice to see a familiar face to serve us after months of no going out. They have a new menu with quite a few new and creative choices. The new Shrimp Po' Boy called my name and I'm so glad I listened and ordered it. Fresh French bread with a great amount of medical sized fried shrimp, cooked perfectly. The remoulade sauce was delightful, truly. Great on the sandwich and my fries as well. Lunch on the patio was perfect with the trains on the track next to us and ample social distancing. read more

We like to try the local places when traveling and decided to give The Depot a try while in Mitchell visiting the Corn Palace. It was mid afternoon, too late for lunch too early for dinner, and off season for tourists so we basically had the place to ourselves. Our servers (Mercy and Aly) were friendly and did a nice job of taking care of us. We opted for salads (Santa Fe and Cobb). The portions were good sized and although the Santa Fe was missing the sour cream and salsa, Mercy corrected it quickly. The deserts sounded amazing but we opted to pass. Maybe next time. Overall, I highly encourage you to stop by The Depot when you are in Mitchell. read more

To;dr: it's fine The Bloody Mary was great, the burger was just average. I had the Buffalo burger and i ordered it medium rare but it came out pretty dang well done. There wasn't a lot of flavor and cheese is a dollar extra. Overall, a good mean, I'm just not sure it's worth $14 read more

Great service! Stopped for dinner - burgers were great! Wide variety of beers on tap.

Empty on Tuesday afternoon and it was right next door to Corn Palace The food actually deserves 3 stars but the service brought it down a star. Like I said, the restaurant was completely empty other than one elderly gentleman at the bar, drinking not eating. We sat down and the waitress came with menus and took our drink order. She came back with our iced teas and we ordered. I got the Reuben minus the sauerkraut but add cole slaw. That sandwich was delicious, especially with the thousand island dressing added to it. Hubby got the steak sandwich, which was the special. He said it was a good sandwich as well. We also ordered a basket of tator tots. They were crispy but I felt the oil they were fried in could have been changed. It had that slight "old oil" taste. Once we got our food no one came to check on us. We had to take our glasses to the bar for refills and even after that she never came by other than to drop off the check. You could have the best food around but if the service is terribly lacking than my review goes way down. I could even understand, a little, if it had been busy, but that wasn't the case here. It's convient to the Corn Palace (see my review about that establishment) but with this service I'd be hard pressed to stop in again. read more

We stopped at this spot while driving through to Boise. Very welcoming and they let us sit in the air conditioned patio area with our dog. I wanted a local experience and my waiter handled it. A fresh beer (blond ale) and the highlander burger. Diet be damned but it was great. Cooked perfectly medium buffalo burger with Monterey jack, sweet onions, potatoes and covered in brown gravy. Basically it's a buffalo poutine and it was glorious. Crunchy waffle fries and brown gravy are the artery clogging good time you need when on the road. You got a bun, but it's under the patty and soaking all that brown gravy....#gottadoit. read more

The food was okay. The service was very poor. The waitress forgot to put our order in. When we ordered dessert she also forgot about it till she brought us our bill. We told her to cancel it and she claimed it would be right out. Which it was 20 min. later. read more

I went in with a friend. The chili was great along with a half sandwich. We both had cheese cake for dessert.

Went to the Depot on Wednesday the 25th 2024. We were the first ones to be seated. Our server brought us menus and took our drink order and brought them right out. She then took our food order. 2 burgers and a club sandwich. That was at 11:10 am. 11:30the tables all around us had gotten their food and finished eating. We asked our server what was going on with our order. She said she would check. 11:45 we asked again and said our order would be out soon. 12:10 we asked again and said she would check. 12:27 still no food. Had an appointment at 1pm so we got up to leave and saw Leena a server who knew us. Told her what happened and she went to the kitchen and said your order is almost done. Would you like me to have them put into Togo boxes. We were very upset. Have been to the Depot several times and never had this problem. Has put a sour taste in our mouths. They asked if we wanted to talk to a manager. Since we had to leave to make our appointment we didn't have time. Hopefully they train the servers a little better. read more

Homemade clam chowder was great and my a turkey sandwhich with sauerkraut hit the spot. My wife ordered a mashup of two sandwiches. She wanted a burger bun instead of the flatbread a chicken sandwhich came on with a few extra items. They where happy to accommodate and the sandwhich was great. The service was wonderful as well. read more

Passable. Food was okay but not great. Service was good. Fair selection for food and drinks.

Great food and service! A must when in Mitchell, SD. Right next to the World's Only Corn Palace.

I ordered the Beef Tips and about as blan as you can get. I got french onion soup as a side and that must of used all of the salt as not sure there was any on the beef. Atmosphere was decent and the waitstaff was mediocre. Not sure I will be back to the Depot read more

It was good food but many mistakes were made.We order a walleys dinner and that was good but they dropped it on the floor and had to make a new one so our food took 40 minutes to come out.We also got a burger with bacon and the bacon was order well done but it a bit undercooked.The burger came with fries but when it was served to us we did not receive the fries and it was missing a top bun.We also got a chicken sandwich and asked for no mayo, lettuce, tomatoes but we got all of it.The manager was ok when we called her over but walked away when we were not done talking.So overall the food was pretty good like the reviews said but they made many rookie mistakes and they were not even busy.The restaurant was pretty clean to. read more
