    1/2 Adult Grilled Cheese Sandwich and a cup of Tomato Bisque soup
    Jamie N.

    Very cute restaurant right by the train station and on the water. Friendly atmosphere and a perfect place for a quick lunch. The Tomato Bisque was perfect for this snowy day and the Adult Grilled Cheese paired perfectly. (The bacon jam is a perfect sweet and tangy additive!). Well done After 26 Depot Cafe!

    I've been here a few times and everything has been delicious. Great food with an even better mission statement--they employ adults with developmental disabilities and cognitive impairments. So please support them! Their restaurant is in a historic depot too which makes it even cooler! Atmosphere: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Food: 5/5 Value: 5/4

    Great food & amazing service! Beautiful view of the water out the window. Will definitely be back next time we are in town.

    Sweet Potato Hopper

    Excellent food and attentive service. Seating is tight and difficult to navigate. Use of project workers is a nice touch.

    Indoor view.

    The food and service were fantastic at this restored train depot. It is a beautiful setting across from the lake. Great views from the outdoor seating as well. I had the turkey Rachel with onion rings. Both were tasty and the onion rings were made in house, not frozen. The other person had the Marquette Melt with fries and he said it was delicious. The prices are reasonable. We arrived at 11:15 a.m. on a Sunday. By 11:45 all tables were full and a line was forming. It is very popular and it should be.

    Blueberry Crepe and Sweet Potato Hopper

    The breakfast was delicious. We ordered the sweet potato hopper and their blueberry crepe special. We enjoyed the variety of flavors that made these dishes flavourful. The staff was friendly and efficient the restroom was clean.

    Met my mom and dad here for my mothers birthday celebration breakfast. The food was delicious. The service was incredible with several friendly faces covering all the bases. The decor is incredible, still resembles the inside of an old depot. This is a midway point between my parents and myself, and will be revisited. Downside is that it closes at 2 PM, the upside is birthday patrons get their age percentage off their bill. Wonderful that they do that.

I was here with my family of seven including two preschoolers and one elementary school child. The restaurant overlooks a small section of Lake Cadillac, therefore we opted to eat outside. It was a beautiful sunny day in early August. See my pics and video. I started with my Bellaire American Brown Ale from Short's Brewing. Bellaire Brown Brown Ale has notes of chocolate, toasted malt, caramel and coffee. It is full bodied, dry and easy on the palate. I enjoyed my waterfront wet burrito, a town classic favorite with a fluffy flour tortilla with seasoned ground beef stuffed with refried beans, vine ripened tomatoes and crispy lettuce drenched in homemade burrito sauce with melted Mexican cheeses for $15.99. My total bill was $111 excluding gratuity. Now back on the road for our remaining drive up to Petoskey.

    What a gem! We were traveling up to Traverse City in the midst of a little ice storm and decided…read morestop by here for lunch. Very cute place. Down home decor, friendly, GREAT service, full bar (reasonably priced-had two shots of 1792 bourbon that were VERY well priced), and AMAZING food! Speaking of amazing food, here is what we had... Potato leek soup: it had just been St Patrick's Day, so they were still offering some themed items. The soup was VERY fresh, had a very pleasant aftertaste, and the potatoes were fresh. Rich, but not too rich. Just the right balance. Onion Rings: WOW! Fantastic, and huge! Beer battered mushrooms: Equally as good as the onion rings. What I also loved about these (and the onion rings) is that they tasted just as good the next day either heated up or even ice cold. They were THAT good Turkey Catamaran Club: My wife loved this. Triple decker sandwich with very fresh and tasty smoked turkey, bacon, and mayo. My wife is not big on leftovers, but liked this so much she was sure to finish half on site and the other half the next day. Boat Builders Burger: 1/3 of a lb of ground chuck medium rare (they cooked it perfectly) with some Swiss on top. Probably the best burger I've had in the last few years. All of the above for WELL under $100. Even tipping quite generously (our server deserved it-she was a sweetheart) we still didn't come near $100. Can't wait to come back here next time we travel up north. Fantastic place.
