Business dinner, 6 guests, love the setting, old train depot with trains still running past. Greeted by a friendly hostess and the waitress, Bethany, did a great job. The real problem, and it's a big one..is the food. Our group had the marinated sirloin and ribeye, could not finish, it was much more like beef jerky than steak. The pork... More

My wife and I want this place to be good. We gave it a second chance, but no cigar. The food is average at best. Burgers at Hardees are better. The Depot is really sort of like O'Charleys, set in a nicer setting with a lesser kitchen. The beer and wine selection are abysmal. The wait staff is marginally trained.... More

My husband and I had dinner here last Friday and we loved it. The service was excellent and so was the atmosphere. The steak is the big draw for us. As I was priviledged to have access to good aged beef growing up I can say unequivocally that the steak here took me back to my childhood. We will most... More

The hotel recommended the Dalton Depot as the best restaurant in town. I was a little put off when there was a plastic encased train set in the entry, and the BEST cabs on the wine list were a low end Hess and Kendall Jackson. The French onion soup was good, but the New York strip was absolutely flavorless. It... More

My husband and I went to eat there last weeks. I remember eating there with my father so it has sentimental meaning for me. The food is good but can be a little pricey if you are on a budget. I got the grouper sandwich which was tasty. My husband also enjoyed his food and loved the cheese biscuits. We... More

If you've ever been told how great a place was and then went there to be disappointed...this is that type of place. Maybe if I had gone with some other people it would have been better but I went alone and wanted to have a drink at the bar by myself. The place was really nice and I liked the... More

I rented the back room for a party during December. The food was great and that was it. The room was so cold that they had to bring in heaters. Funny thing is the heaters didn't work. The waiter had no idea how to handle a table or talk to customers. After we had our meal some of us decided... More

Our hotel offered a discount coupon for the Dalton Depot,along with some for chain restaurants. Since we prefer to try local restaurants when traveling, we headed for the Dalton Depot, and were glad we did. The atmosphere is very warm and welcoming and our server was very knowledgeable about the history of the restaurant and pleasant to talk with. Our... More
