    If you find yourself passing through tiny Camden, Ohio, this is a nice "greasy spoon" to get yourself a quick, tasty bite. Their pizza, burgers, and fried "stuff" are all reasonably priced and look to be made to order. My mushroom swiss burger (double!!) was VERY flavorful, and added side of fries (I should have ordered a dinner, which would have included a fountain drink) hit the spot and didn't break the bank. Quick, friendly service, and if I wasn't VERY full, I would have enjoyed something from the LARGE, tempting menu of ice cream choices as well. Give 'em a try, if you're in the area...

    I've been going to the Depot for years through different owners. I think with the current owners it's the best it's ever been. They are currently drive thru only due to COVID but they are rocking it. My go to's at the Depot a Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza. The last time I got a CBR I got breaded chicken instead of grilled for something different and YUM!! Yes pizza, it's not just ice cream. Their pizza is awesome. Their Chicken Nuggets and Fried Mushrooms are yummy. In October they have a Philly Cheesesteaks Pizza that was to phenomenal. I am not sure if that's a regular thing or if it was just a special. A basic chocolate milk shake is my go to ice cream. I tend to get one to enjoy right away and one to take home and freeze for a later date. Something my mom used to do when I was younger.

    Perfect pork tenderloin sandwich!

    The little train depot gives this diner it's name and it's quite small dining area is just that -- quite small. But the pleasant employees served us quickly and offered us truly the best breaded pork tenderloin sandwich and fried cauliflower we've had in years. If your looking for lunch and are in or passing through Camden Ohio, give The Depot and it's tenderloin a try. Definitely worth it!

    A small town ice cream shop and eatery. Isn't much to look at. The dining options are limited. It's one of the few. Mostly greasy stuff. Coming through here we were looking for something to eat or something cold. It looks like the only place in Camden with ice cream. The menu lists several basic flavors. Depot Dairy isn't your average small town ice cream shop. There's indoor seating, meaning it's probably open all year. Okay for a small town like Camden. Indoor seating if you're hanging. There's also a drive thru.

    Owned and operated by legendary DJ, graduate of the International School of Broadcasting and Camden native, Kim Dean, the Depot was founded from and old abandoned train depot that once served as a stopping point during the construction of the first coast to coast railroad. Purchased as an investment property in the 70's by the Doran Monarchy, The Depot has hosted celebrities such as Tom Cruise, Rob Lowe, Buddy Hackett and Wilfred Brimley, before his diabetes set in. The local Guy Fieri favorite has a complete and comprehensive offering of farm to table, locally sourced culinary specialties.

    Best ice cream!!

    Grannies Cookie Jar & Ice Cream Parlor is a Metamora, Indiana icon, though it may be weird to call…read moreanything in this historic Franklin County town an actual "icon." There's quite a bit you know about me if you've followed my reviews for any length of time. This likely includes my long friendship with fellow Yelp Elites Rick G. and Holly G. - in fact, I performed their wedding ceremony! The three of us have actually collaborated on quite a few projects over the years, either due to Rick's music and comedy or because of my long history of activism and charity work. Frequently, our collaborations combine Rick and Holly's creativity with my activist spirit. For a couple years, Rick and Holly owned a shop in Metamora called Mosaic Learn & Play - I, in turn, owned a small charity bookstore within the walls of Mosaic. While I never spent nearly as much time in Metamora as did Rick and Holly, I spent my fair share of time there and grew to appreciate the picturesque, friendly town. Rick and Holly's wedding was even in Metamora! As is true of most historic towns, accessibility can definitely be an issue in Metamora. Truthfully, I'd say there's more that's not accessible than there actually is accessible in the town. Grannies is most certainly not perfect, a step greeting you at the front door and a crowded shop making even the most experienced wheelchair user more than a little paranoid. It's possible, I've been to Grannies more than once, but it's definitely a shop where I take my time wheeling and I am super careful everywhere I turn. Grannies, first of all, is an official world record holder. Granny owns over 2600 cookie jars - and I believe they're all actually here in this shop. She's held the record since 2012, as I recall. Grannies is, of course, an ice cream shop. Granny even makes all of her waffle cones by hand. Each one has a Hershey kiss at the bottom. She puts a whole lot of love in her waffle cones. The ice cream is pretty incredible, too. She has quite a few flavors and they're at reasonable prices for pretty darn amazing servings. Grannies is open 7 days a week throughout the year. While I can't say I'd drive all the way to Metamora for her ice cream, if I am in the Metamora there's no way I'm leaving without stopping at Grannies. Metamora is a beautiful little canal town. It has definitely been impacted by the pandemic, but the people are also hanging in there. I'm not quite going to say that time stands still here, but it's sure not a place you go to speed up. Metamora is a surprisingly easy drive from Indy and the entire Franklin County area could easily be a relaxing, fairly isolated day trip with Brookville also nearby as the seat of the county. There are even a couple places you can stay in Metamora, though they aren't particularly strong with access and you'd probably want to go to Brookville if that's needed. If you get a chance, head south to Metamora and be sure to stop in at Grannies for some ice cream and definitely check out those cookie jars!

    This is quite possibly my favorite shop in all of Metamora. Not only is there icecream for you to…read moreenjoy (though sadly, I'm not able to partake these days since it's all dairy), the store is wall to wall cookie jars. Not just wall to wall... there are added sections in the middle, too! That's not mentioning the back room also has a ton of cookie jars! There are cookie jars shaped like fruit. There are cookie jars shaped like iconic characters. There are cookie jars with Coca Cola theme. Christmas. Animals. Just seriously, so. Many. Cookie. Jars. They do also have some coffee mugs and salt and pepper shakers. Bottom line, this shop is so quirky that I can't help but stop in when I'm in town. I just watch my step and make sure my purse won't knock the shelves. In Grannie's, if you break it, you buy it! PS -- there is a bathroom in the hall between the front room and back room, should you need one. They can be difficult to locate in Metamora if you don't know where they are.
