I would give more stars if I could.

Ohhhh so good all around! Great service, adorable place and the FOOD! I had chicken fingers and fries. Both cooked just right! Husband had the Great White and sweet potato fries, also fantastic. SP fries came with a dip of cream cheese, cinnamon sugar! Absolutely terrific! When we come back to this area, we will definitely be back!

If you like good food, service and atmosphere, this is the place to go. Went on a Saturday for lunch. It was busy but we were seated right away. Server was very polite and attentive. Food did not take long to prepare. Reasonable prices. Checkout the General Store before you leave!

Nice road trip. Especially on a motorcycle. With this great rest stop destination. Good food. Very cool atmosphere. Nice store with home baked goods. And a gas station. Very nice!

Stayed overnight at the Depot Lodge halfway through my MABDR motorcycle trip recently. As such, this is the only place around for food. I had a buffalo burger and breakfast the next morning and both were top notch! The staff is very friendly and the food was high-quality and served quickly. Try the banana pudding!

Rode here on my motorcycle in the remnants of Hurricane Ian. Cold and wet, the staff here were so kind to recognize I could use some warming up time. For lunch I had some onion straws and a buffalo burger with fries. Food and service were excellent. Cannot recommend this place enough.

Interesting place! The General Store at the front has staples and snacks for those staying nearby. The Swinging Bridge has the restaurant on the bottom floor and a panoramic Christmas themed gift shop above. It was delightful! The food was pretty good. We enjoyed our time here.

This place is awesome! The fiestaware is so beautiful. Our food came out quickly and was amazing. We ordered breakfast and the servings were great, but be ready to take home leftover breakfast potatoes. Highly recommend the pancakes. The inside of the building is beautiful.
