The menu had such a nice variety of dishes that we all found something just right. I'm so glad I ordered the sweet potato fries. They were delicious and cooked perfectly. The portions were generous. Quality of the food was on point. I've got to mention the staff as they were so attentive even as our group grew larger than expected. I would definitely recommend The Depot and feel free to bring the whole family - they're great with large groups !

Great ambiance, can't beat an old train station! The Staff were young and friendly. My cocktail,…read morethe Train 151, was really good. The menu is a bit basic especially for the potential of the space. I think they are missing the mark. Very basic tables and counter. Pull taps and crain games in the wings. This place could be someplace special if they upgraded the quality a bit. It's very loud especially with kids, sound bounces around a lot. My cheese steak was ok, not bad but pretty simple. Nothing to make me want to return.

We were there at noon and one of the soups was out? We were told they would not be refilling it. Also, that they only make one pot of soup per each option of the day? Lucky us! Keep this in mind when making your lunch decision.

After walking in I was greeted and asked where I wanted to sit, we eventually decided a table. For one?!?!yeah sure. After finding out whose section i was sitting in, I placed my order and within 10 minutes my food was on my table! Hot and delicious as it turns out. The ribs were tender, perfectly seasoned, juicy and smoked to perfection! I did not need sauce but tried a few of them Anyway. LOL! The bbq baked beans were also perfectly done, tender, full of flavor, savory with a little bit of heat and three types of beans which worked somehow. Now the biggest surprise to me was the potato salad, which 95% of restaurants get terrible wrong. This one was an 8 out of 10! So my service was great, the food was great, it was fast, hot and delicious. My one negative is that it's located in North Dakota!!!!!!!

Breakfast....Grumpy waitress....so it started on a bad note. Never brought carafe for 2nd cup coffee for table of 4. Being charged over $2 for a drink is insane especially coffee without a refill and the first cups were half full. Food network needs to stop giving rave reviews to places that the food is mediocre at best. Hash browns were greasy and everything else was truthfully not good. Diners have become so use to just eating what is put in front of us and not speaking up when it is not satisfactory. Will not dine there again if we are ever back in Minot. read more

We had an amazing breakfast experience at this cozy diner. The ranchers skillet and cheese curds were out of this world, and the Big Bopper omelette was packed with flavor. The staff was incredibly friendly and hospitable, making our visit even more enjoyable. We also picked up some breakfast burritos and a delicious caramel roll for my son and his girlfriend to enjoy later. Highly recommend this charming 50's style diner! read more

I was not informed of any written policy stating that earned PTO would be forfeited upon resignation. Under North Dakota Century Code §34-14-02, accrued vacation or paid time off is considered earned wages unless a written company policy clearly states otherwise.

The prices right away seemed a little steep, but I decided to go for it anyways... it seemed like a nice establishment, and possibly a chain, that was brought on base. The meal came out pretty quickly and I excitedly took my first bite... and then retreated. The bread used for the philly cheesesteak was so dense, I could barely bite through the bread, nevertheless negotiate a bite through the steak and cheese on the inside. I decided to just eat the contents of the sandwich with a fork and knife. There was little evidence of the bread being toasted, which I think would have made the bread more supple for this type of sandwich. It was almost like the bread was only mostly baked, if that makes any sense. Anyways, thankfully the fries were edible and I ordered the mozzarella sticks. But $20 bucks for a sandwich and appetizer? it seems a bit expensive. I hope to try other things on the menu to see if my mind can be changed about this place.

I ordered the new Dipper sandwich with cheddar broccoli soup, and my mother-in-law also had the soup with a different sandwich. Panera was literally the only food I ate that entire day because I had a 2-hour drive home and was looking forward to finally sitting down and having a good meal. Instead, shortly after leaving, I started feeling extremely sick. By the time I got home, I was vomiting, and I continued throwing up throughout the entire night and into Sunday morning. I ended up with what appeared to be food poisoning, and it completely ruined my weekend. It's incredibly frustrating to drive TWO HOURS for food that I've always loved, only to end up spending the rest of the night violently sick. I understand that things can happen, but this was an absolutely miserable experience and definitely makes me think twice about ever making that drive again. I really hope Panera takes food safety seriously, because getting sick like this after spending that much money and traveling that far is completely unacceptable.
