• Food and setting.
• A larger menu selection would be appreciated.

“The Depot is a wonderful restaurant! The food (crab stuffed chicken) was delicious and the environment was warm and very quaint. I cannot wait to go back and bring friends and family.”

• Nothing.
• The food, lack of atmosphere, and the stench of smoke was sickening.

“The bar is smoky and the stench of smoke floods the dining area. The prices were high for the small town food quality and presentation. Chicken on the grilled chicken salad was not completely cooked and the service was ok at best. Overall bad experience.”

• Iced tea was very good and quickly refilled. Reuben sandwich tasty.
• Dreary decor, bathrooms are accessed only through the smoky bar.

“While in the Biltmore Village, I thought I would try the Depot - it looked interesting from the outside and figured we would be in for a good meal. I had trouble finding the door to get inside, as it was not clearly marked. The inside is tiny and the view is of railroad tracks if you sit inside the double doors or of the busy street if you are seated in the old porte-cochere. I ordered the Classic Reuben w/cole slaw but was served the potato salad, which had some odd spice that threw me, making me wish I had insisted on the cole slaw. The Reuben was tasty I will admit. My daughter ordered Chicken Alfredo off of the children's menu. She only ate a few bites, stating she didn't like it at all. I took a bite and found it tasteless. Her salad also had lettuce that had seen better days. When the bill came, we had been charged for the adult size Alfredo. It was corrected with a smile, but I had a hard time getting over the $10.95 price until I realized the error. I was hoping to see nostalgic photos from the depot's heyday, but was sadly disappointed with the whole affair.”
