Over Easy at the Depot in Kent leans hard into the train station theme, and honestly, that part is a lot of fun. The atmosphere gives the place some character right away. We started with the cinnamon roll waffle appetizer, which ended up being a bit underwhelming--not really worth it for two mini waffles. I had the chorizo tacos, and while the flavors were good, I kept wishing they'd used shredded chicken instead since it gives a better texture. Service was fine and attentive, and overall it's a solid spot if you're in the area, especially for the setting read more

The interior of this restaurant is so cool! Thought the mixed ceramic salt and pepper shakers and coffee mugs were cute. Service was good--attentive and kept the coffee and water full. The food was alright, pretty standard breakfast food taste and price. Would definitely choose Over Easy over the other breakfast place in that vicinity. read more

Over Easy is my favorite breakfast spot in Kent. It's right by the train tracks and is in a historical looking building, having plenty of character and charm. My mom and I went for brunch so we had a taste for both breakfast and lunch foods. Their brunch menu has a wide variety of everything so whatever you are craving, they have something that will satisfy you. They also recently added a drink menu too which I took a look at. I don't like drinking during the day but they had a pickled bloody mary which sounded soooo good. We ordered pickle chips to start. They were pretty good but they came in mini pickle form instead of sliced pickles. Also, there were too fried to the point where there was hardly any pickle. We also both ordered the spinach and mushroom skillet which was delicious. There was feta in it too which was a very tasty touch. Our skillets came with potatoes and toast as well. Our server was so kind. It was really busy because it was parent's weekend, but she still had a good attitude. Also, we didn't make a reservation so we had an hour wait but we were able to track our wait time and see how many parties were ahead of us which was nice. We were able to walk around the downtown area while we waited for them to text us. Over Easy is a great spot for anyone looking for breakfast or brunch. It's very unique and they have a creative menu if you are looking to try something different. read more

Tasty brunch spot with a scenic interior. Food was on the pricier side but tasted good and came with decent portions. Mushroom Egg skillet came with a 3 egg omelette, 4 pieces of toast and some diced potatoes . Tastewise definitely better than most casual chains. Service was quick and this place seems popular with locals. read more

My boyfriend and I absolutely love this place! Our favorite breakfast spot! Cinnamon roll waffles are a great start to the meal, fluffy and fresh every time. My favorite is the breakfast bowl with tots. The service is always on point too. Although you may have to wait 20-40 minutes to get seated (usually very busy on weekends) it's totally worth it. We stop in and reserve our spot, walk around beautiful downtown Kent until the restaurant texts us our table is ready. Lots of parking nearby as well. If you're looking for a good breakfast place that is consistently delicious, this is it! read more

The food the servers are always amazing. Love their blueberry coffee. We go often and take family and friends

Great breakfast spot with a great atmosphere in a cool building with a cool interior. Service is very nice and friendly and the food came out quick. The classic breakfast was very good, the eggs were perfectly cooked over easy, the bread was nicely toasted, the home fries were tender but still had good texture, and the turkey sausage had great flavor and was seasoned well. Overall great simple breakfast and nice that they give ketchup, hot sauce, and jellies on the table, and cool that they serve Scribbles coffee. read more

Over Easy At The Depot - Classic Breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kent, Ohio

Food was excellent. Fruit was so fresh and delicious. This restaurant went to the top of my list for breakfast.

Not sure what the deal was today, but the serving size of the steak and eggs was laughable. I think I paid 25 bucks for three tiny slices of steak and what look like one scrambled egg. Really disappointed. Last time I got the burrito and it was pretty good and the size was great. Steak and eggs was horrible. read more

Great atmosphere, service and food. Simple enough. I definitely recommend this place! read more

Just a quick breakfast on a Monday morning! The place looks really nice and wanted to try it out. The location is convenient, the restaurant is amazing, the food was okay. Maybe it's my expectation but I got the corned beef breakfast, with rye toast and over easy eggs. It was fresh corned beef, but not a lot of it. The texture relied on the cabbage and uncooked red onions. There were a lot of potatoes, and they were tasty. The coffee was great, good taste and the service was friendly; a bit pricey for breakfast but not too expensive. My wife got the classic, eggs, toast, sausage and hash browns. The sausage were cooked to a crisp, but juicy inside. We may come back with the kids to let them enjoy the place but otherwise, being half-an-hour away....we may just go to our local breakfast place. read more

Stopped in for breakfast at Over Easy this morning and made sure to make reservations the day before because this place is always busy. My fiancée got the breakfast tacos as they were the most recommended thing for people that are gluten free and she enjoyed them. I got the big boy platter and enjoyed the food but I felt for the size of the meal the platter was wayyyy too big. It would have fit better on a smaller plate. The toast was delicious but I forgot to ask for jelly and that was on me. The other meals were also a success! Highly recommended just note it a smaller place so plan accordingly. read more

Over Easy is a really nice breakfast spot in Kent. It's tied with Wild Goats for me personally. They have a good selection of food, and the new location is really nice. I'm pretty sure their last place was up the street but much smaller; this one is very cute. Service is always good too. read more

Food was great, service was even better, wonderful atmosphere, super cozy, has a rustic feel. Would come back over if I was in the Kent area. read more

If you decide to eat here, avoid the Classic Eggs Benedict. It is inedible, as are the biscuits and gravy. The former offers tiny eggs, with broken yolks sitting on a piece of toast that is as tough as leather. The latter offers dry biscuits and a scattering of turkey gravy. Add the pancakes, particularly their giant pancake, to the mix. They are also dry and tasteless. If you plan on conversing while eating, you should go elsewhere. Set in the old depot, the high ceilings make everything very noisy. Because diners cannot hear each other, they are forced to talk louder, which adds to the already noisy environment. Inexplicably, the meals are served on huge plates, making the portions look small, which they are in many cases. I cannot recommend this restaurant. There are better places to eat in Kent, Ohio. read more

Had breakfast here. Nice space with different salt/pepper shakers on every table that add a fun vibe. They also have funny vinyl stickers for purchase that are fun. The house Bloody Mary is phenomenal and you have to try the candied bacon! My son got the Belgian waffle, Depot size with pork sausage and sunny side up eggs. The eggs were cooked to perfection! I got a skillet with Bison chili. It was all really good. Great service too! read more

The ambiance, service and food were wonderful. I had 'crab salad benedict', one of the specials of the day. PHENOMENAL! The crab salad was the best I ever had. It had a hint of lemon that complimented every aspect of the crab. Highly recommend. read more

Try to stay away from the main dining room during busy times. It is way too loud due to the acoustics. Do not buy the coffee. At $3.50 it is way overpriced for the quality. Do yourself a favor and go to one of the local roaster/coffee houses down the street read more

Food was bland and I had probably the worst cold brew coffee in my entire life. It was undrinkable and I'm not a coffee snob. The location is fine and had no issues with service. read more

My husband had the avocado toast & liked it very much. I got a breakfast bowl & it was so good! I couldn't finish it all & hubby was happy to help out. The service was excellent & the atmosphere is very charming. You will not be disappointed! read more

The breakfast was delicious. The syrup was unique but delicious. And the bacon in the waffles was a definite surprise and so tasty. The waffles were by far the best that I'd had. It was fantastic. And my wife said the BELT was the perfect combination of lunch and breakfast. It was great. And the atmosphere was just as great. The decor almost felt like we stepped back in time and it was very cool to have a couple trains pass right by the old depot. We loved it and we will definitely be back read more

Excellent service!! Yelpers welcome and helps for making the line while getting to the location. My French Toast were delicious A++, second only to my homemade ones. All fruits fresh from local farmers. The chorizo & potato in ciabata was huge and tender with an explosion of flavors. The drinks orange juice and hot cocoa needs improvement. For that reason is a four and not a five. Still great place for breakfast or brunch. read more

Quaint little place set inside of an old train depot in Kent, Ohio. Ample metered parking outside, no outside seating. It was only a Wednesday, the place was busy. I saw the size of the pancake on the table of another diner and thought oh my! It was too big for my taste so I opted for my favorite breakfast, Eggs Benedict. I should have had anything else. The muffin was not toasted. Felt cold and just out of package...one egg poached fine the other was over.....the hollandaise was some of the worst I have ever had in my life. Loose and watery and some off taste...bleh. The potatoes tasted as if they were made on a dirty griddle. The pancake from my guest's plate was delightful. Sad it did not come in smaller sizes. Batter is homemade. Only criticism would be that a 3/4 full two ounce soufflé cup of maple syrup is laughably not enough....as was the one pat of packaged whipped butter....laughed so hard at this. Server was rushed. Actually said the Benny in the menu was their favorite so that helped shift my initial decision from the goat cheese, spinach mushroom scramble to the Benny.... ‍ location is about the only thing this place has going for it. read more

Enjoying back to back weekends at Over Easy at the Depot. Last week the chicken and waffles and today the Avocado Toast. Along with these we had the 2112 sandwich. The tenders pressed thin with a nice light crisp on a fluffy waffle with a touch of heat and complimented by Sriracha maple syrup. Todays avocado toast was the perfect lighter breakfast with thin toast and smear of avocado with black beans and onions which made a great bite from start to finish with perfectly cooked name sake over easy eggs. read more

Over Easy At The Depot - Cake & eggs. 13" pancakes with over easy eggs and pork bacon. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kent, Ohio

Obsessed! This was such a great spot for Saturday breakfast. Our party of 4 put ourselves on the waitlist via Yelp ahead of time which worked our perfectly. We were seated within minutes of arriving. The restaurant itself is super cute and rustic. Our service was good and the food was excellent! The pancake served with my meal is THE largest pancake I have EVER seen, and also one of the most delicious! Over Easy serves coffee from a local shop called Scribbled, and that was delicious as well. I loved that everyone got a different coffee mug. It was fun to look around and see the different coffee mugs throughout the restaurant. Overall a great experience and will certainly visit again when in Kent. read more

Food was good. Seemed clean and the wait staff was friendly and attentive. I had the tacos which taste great however could have given a few more taters for a $16 breakfast. Other guests had a waffle and a frikin HUGE pancake. They enjoyed their meals as well. read more

The food was good. I was a little bummed that they refused to give French fries instead of home fries and they were serving lunch. The service was slow and it wasn't really busy and the waitress was annoyed by our splitting of the bills even though we explained it ahead of time. Oh well, next time we'll go to Mike's Place. read more

This place is a great spot. The corn beef is some of the best I've had. And the pancakes were legit. The blueberry syrup on them tasted very artificial. But the cakes were great. DO NOT GET THE OFF THE RAIL BURGER!!! You might be tempted to try the bacon egg and cheese between two glazed Donuts......don't. It was not good. The burger patty was good. Egg was cooked well, but the combo is no bueno. Other then that, three meals here so far have been choice. Large fun coffee mugs are a great touch and the owner walking through greeting people Is always cool. Give it a try people. read more

Over Easy At The Depot - Spinach & Portobello Mushroom - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kent, Ohio

What a neat place for brunch! Situated inside the old train depot, the ambience of this place is really unique with the high ceilings, ornate lighting, and the view of the train that passes by occasionally. Also, the place is HUGE with abundant seating, so when we went on a weekday morning and there was no wait (can't attest if that is the case during the busier weekend hours). The menu had the classic brunch staples, along with an offering of elk sausage that they recommended (we didn't try this time, but I hear it is very good). We ended up getting the salmon benedict, chorizo skillet, and blueberry coffee. I'm not much of a coffee drinker but I actually enjoyed the subtle hint of sweetness in the blueberry option. In regards to the dishes while they hit the spot, we were a bit disappointed in the flavor profiles since we couldn't really taste the chorizo in the skillet, and the salmon benedict was a bit too salty for my likingy. Nonetheless , the service was attentive, and the menu still has a ton more we would like to try (like the breakfast charcuterie board) so we will definitely be back. read more

Four of us, plus a baby went to Over Easy for Tuesday breakfast about 10:00 AM. Two got a pancake, eggs and meat, one just scrambled eggs, meat & toast, and I got Classic eggs Benedict with potatoes. Service was great and the atmosphere is fun and relaxing. One of the pancakes, which were HUGE, was not really cooked, the other was great. One pair of eggs was ordered hard but came over easy. The scrambled eggs were not scrambled very well prior to cooking, so they were presented as yellow and white eggs, like a Steelers Towel. The Benedict sauce was actually very good but I would guess that the Canadian Bacon was cooked earlier and sat waiting for an order, they were dry and crusty. The muffins must have been waved over the heat once or twice but they weee definitely not toasted. I enjoyed the potatoes which were cooked very nicely, spiced just right and presented well on the plate. We most likely will return at some point but today we were a little disappointed. read more

Nah, this was notttt it. Ordered the chicken and waffles, it was really really rough. The chicken tasted like sour fish. I had to ask the server if it was chicken. They must fry it all Together or something. It was inedible and I'm the kind of person who can throw hot sauce on it and move on, but no and I mean no hot sauce could fix this disaster. Waffle was wife. Syrup tasted like plain syrup. Won't be coming back. Unsure how the review are high read more

I'd give this place zero star if possible. This place was decent when it first opened, now it's terrible!! Charlie the waiter was great- food sucks!, cold , flavorless, over cooked.. now I understand why they've had a help wanted sign out for months. Last time we were there part of the kitchen staff walked out. read more

Great food and the atmosphere is so cool. The service was great, even with it being so busy. Would 100% recommend.

We recently moved to the area and wanted to explore a little and chose a restaurant with interesting reviews. We selected Over Easy in Kent near the old train track and the renovated restaurant. We sat in a booth that looked at a moving screen highlighting the employees and quizzes, etc. that entertained. The wait staff was excellent, friendly, and attentive, and informative as to options. She (mostly run by females!) told us how to go view the water along the tracks. It was a perfect choice for my 82nd birthday! The food was hot, outstanding, innovative and with large portions--the cinnamon with frosting waffle was outstanding and my BLT (my favorite from childhood) was among the best ever with sour dough toast, really ripe tomatoes and plenty of bacon. My husband's French toast was excellent and he ate every bite--even the crusts! We plan to bring out children and grandchildren here soon! You won't be disappointed in coming here for breakfast or lunch and if nice, you can eat outside. read more

We started coming to this spot once restaurants reopened after COVID. We loved their outdoor seating area, but this trip the winter had us sitting inside. We felt safe & service was great! We loved the local coffee options & the fact that there were flavor options in the offered roasts as well! Both the original & flavored roasts we've had are always top notch. (Plus they're served in unique little mugs!) Breakfast is always great! From pancakes, to breakfast tacos, to this trip's Mushroom and Goat Cheese Skillet and French Toast the meals taste fresh and well prepared! I seriously haven't ever been disappointed with my meal, and I try something new on the menu every time. I just keep coming back and finding more I love! If you haven't hit up this spot, check it out. We'll be back again... and again... read more
