One of the highlights of my visit back to St. Louis. Located in Kimmswick, MO, right in the middle of the city. The owner came out to greet us as we were with one of the original customers when Cindy started this establishment. The prices catch your eye, as most sandwiches are under $10. You get to choose your bread, but the standard option is a pretzel bun. The food was so good, as was the service. This business is situated in a former home, which adds to its cool factor. They do take reservations, and with Kimmswick's famous Apple Butter Festival approaching, you will need to plan. read more

Incredibly slow, great food and inside was pretty nice. I happen to like all the train decor around place. Kinda fun. The pretzel sandwich is great. I will say they are really slow. Don't come hungry because you might get hangry waiting. read more

We were in Kimmswick for Strawberry Festival. The town was sooo busy and I couldn't find anything healthy to eat from the vendors. Dough Depot saved the day with their Strawberry Salad on their menu. Reasonably priced. Strawberries, pecans and their in house dressing served over romaine. Usually also comes with cheese, however, I held to make the salad vegan. They were handling the crowd pretty well. Salad hit the spot. I've gotten the wine chillers before. Excellent! read more

Wonderful Cafe! We are out of town visitors looking for a great place to eat lunch that had carry out. Our group had 2 kids and a baby so we did not want a sit down. The women helping us order could not have been kinder. They were so helpful in suggesting what to order as well as places to visit in town . The food was so tasty! The pretzel rolls for our sandwiches were chewy fresh and delicious. We ordered Italian, Roast Beef, Chicken and Ham sandwiches. All were so tasty and fresh! The Cole slaw side was delicious. The kids meals are very reasonable!There is an outside eating area which we took advantage of,We purchased Gooey Butter cookies for dessert. Spectacular and very reasonably priced as all their items are. Cute little gift shop too. What a fun place to visit. We will return. The staff made our day. Thank You Ladies!Darling Town! read more

Great little place. I have been to Kimmswick several times but never really knew this café existed. I thought it was just a storefront. Their prices are outstanding. They offer a two for $8.99 combo. I picked the half market Street special sandwich and half southwest chicken salad. The salad was a great size. Really delicious. The sandwich was on the smaller side but enough. It was served on a soft pretzel bun. Our server was outstanding. And it's always a plus when you can go shopping in the store after you eat. We always find little hidden gems here. We will definitely be back. The location is wonderful and has lots of wonderful shopping stores nearby. They also take reservations. The waitress said that she highly recommends it. We were lucky enough to get right in. read more

Dough Depot - Holiday Lunch at Dough Depot - Cafes Near Me - Kimmswick, Missouri

I was passing through and had to see what the hype was about. This place was oozing with Christmas charm everywhere. It was beautifully decked out in the store and restaurant area. This is a very warm and cozy place for lunch. The staff was very nice. The pretzel roll is worth the hype, soft it yummy. While I didnt love the roast beef, the chili was the star of the lunch. I would come back for the roll, chili and atmosphere. read more

It's not a bad place but I wasn't impressed. My wife and I ate on the patio. The plants were all dead or dying. My wife had chicken salad and I had a turkey club. We both had the potato casserole. My wife said the chicken salad was okay but I thought my sandwich was pretty bad. The turkey was mushy like it was previously frozen with bits of what I guess was supposed to be bacon but it had no taste. The pretzel bun was kinda squished. I've seen better rolls at Walmart. I know they didn't make the pickle but whatever brand they use is mushy with a chewy skin. I didn't get sick from it but I think next time I'm in Kimswick, I'll try another restaurant. read more

I visited on a beautiful weekend. We chose to sit outside in the sunshine. We ordered from the side window, and held our seat, or it would have been gone! I love that all of the sandwiches were served on a soft pretzel bun. Both of us chose the "you pick two" option. I got the sandwich and salad, and my friend got the chili and salad. My sandwich was outstanding, as was the chopped salad. My friend loved her chili and salad too. She is sensitive to dairy, so it was good that they put the cheese for the chili on the side. It was great to enjoy the fresh air, sunshine, and great food. The staff brings the food right to your table. It took a while after ordering, but it seemed everyone was out and enjoying the weather. It was a great afternoon! read more

After a long day of shopping locally this place just HITS for the ultimate comfort food!!! I love how cute it's decorated in this place! Especially around Christmas time.

Dough Depot - All of this for $10!! - Cafes Near Me - Kimmswick, Missouri

Small quaint restaurant located in the river city of Kimmswick Mo. Walked right in at 11ish on a Sunday morning. I ordered a chicken parmesan with melted provolone on a garlic pretzel bun. This also was accompanied by a cup of cheese broccoli soup and marinara sauce for dipping. This was all under $10. My Wife ordered a personal size bacon & sausage pizza. Everything came out very quick and was all around delicious. The cheese broccoli soup was hot , thick and great. The chicken parm sandwich on the garlic pretzel bun was prepared perfectly. If you want a quick, reasonably priced meal stop into the Dough Depotl read more

I'm so sorry. Service was fine, no complaints there. But food was ATROCIOUS. VILE. INEDIBLE. Canned, CANNED!! mushrooms and PROCESSED "CHEESE" product on my "pizza," PROCESSED "CHEESE" on my husband's obviously-from-a-can BBQ nachos. And I really doubt their pretzels weren't pulled from a freezer and microwaved. The worst part, their website LIED, word for word: "Dough Depot works closely with local farmers and suppliers to source the finest seasonal fruits and vegetables, ensuring that each ingredient is bursting with flavor and nutritional value...From locally grown produce bursting with flavor to premium meats and artisanal cheeses, every ingredient is chosen with care." Y'all! Fresh ingredients are far cheaper! Why wouldn't the owners of the Dough Depot go that route instead?! It takes basic knowledge and effort to utilize fresh ingredients, but, clearly, this is something their kitchen either can't or won't go the extra mile to do. Don't just skip the Dough Depot, avoid it like the plague! read more

I stopped in for a quick bite for lunch and man it was pretty busy for being a Tuesday morning. It is located in a small town so there may not be many other brunch spots. I had the marketplace sandwich and the oriental salad and both were very fresh and flavorful. The salad dressing is made in the house and the salad itself was nice and refreshing. Definitely worth a visit! read more

We got their catering for my parents anniversary party and we're very impressed. The baked pasta with pink sauce was super tasty. Little bits of chicken in it. Everyone at the party loved it. We also got the house salad with the strawberry vinegarette dressing and the dressing was awesome. Very fresh and home made tasting. We'll be coming back on our own for dinner at some point read more

We picked up catering from this restaurant for a wedding anniversary party. They had everything packaged up nicely & ready to go at the pickup time. The lady who checked us out was very friendly. We had the salad with their homemade strawberry vinaigarette dressing. The dressing was outstanding & really made the salad special. We also had one of their baked pastas. It was a mixture of Marinara & cream sauce with some chicken mixed in & melted cheese on top. The noodles were mostaccoli/spiral type noodles. The pasta was so good, I had seconds! We will definitely have to go back here for lunch sometime! read more

I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Missouri read more

All Aboard! Make your way down to The Dough Depot. Where the conductors are truly committed to excellent food at very fair prices. Everybody who works here is friendly and kind; and they provide awesome service. The train decor theme throughout is so cute. They have gift items for sale too. You will leave with a bit of cash leftover in your caboose too because they offer such value. read more

Usually love this restaurant and their food. Today it was such a disappointment. I got a small Chicken Ceaser salad with light Ranch dressing. Firstly, there were only a few minute pieces of chicken. The rest was covered in croutons and Parmesan Cheese. They gave you a very small plastic container of salad dressing that was only a few tablespoons full. It made the salad very dry and tasteless. Finally the waiter came back when we were close to being finished but I asked for more dressing because it was so bad. Again was give a small container. I ate the remainder. When I received the bill I was charged an extra 50 cents for the dressing. Total was $8.13 for a dry, small salad with not real identifiable chicken pieces. My lunch mate also had the same experience of not many if the listed ingredients in her salad and also requested kit dressing for her dry salad. What happened to the great food and service from the past years? read more

The food was delicious and fresh! The service was very friendly and welcoming. Loved the environment.

When people think of Kimmswick they often think of the Blue Owl (which is great!) because of its Food Network fame, but the Dough Depot is one of the best highlights of my trips to Kimmswick and honestly my favorite restaurant in town. If you like pretzel bread, you are going to love this place. The hot ham and cheese sandwiches on a pretzel bun, the homemade soups and salads, and the appetizers based on their pretzels (Like the pretzel bread, pretzel bites, or big pretzel with cheese) are sooo good! This is my favorite spot for lunch and the prices can't be beat. The inside is nice and cozy, but they also have plenty of outdoor seating for when the weather is nice. Give this one a try next time you're in town! read more

This is a must when you're in the Kimmswick area! Their food is so good and reasonably priced. The staff is super nice and the service is quick. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.

Excellent food and service!! We took friends who had never eaten there before and they were so impressed!

Came here on a Sunday afternoon after cleaning house all day.... We walked in to a fabulous smell and really good greetings from the very well staffed restaurant. I ordered a blue raspberry lemonade and the mrs got a pineapple upside down cocktail. Both were really good!! The waiter was friendly but a bit slow... I'm very hard to keep up with because I tend to drink fast. I ordered chicken Alfredo and the mrs ordered chicken bacon ranch sandwich. Both were really good. The bill including her alcoholic drink was under 40 bucks before tip. Highly recommend this place!! read more
