WARNING‼‼‼ Now that…read moreI have your attention, let me tell you about this place. I almost thought I teleported to Texas for a second. This smokehouse in the Oregon coast is on to something. Pulled pork, brisket TENDER & JUICY. I can't even describe how I had flashbacks to my time in Texas. I am now in a food coma and on my way to take a 8 hour power nap. If you are ever at Cannon Beach, and do not feel like eating fish and chips, please come here and do your taste buds a favor.

It was my first time having pork rinds freshly made instead of out of a bag, and I'll need to find where I can get this more often!! The Cubano was solid. The bread was soft, the meat was tender, a little dry, and the pickles added a nice bright, acidic bite. The sauce was good too. Unfortunately, the fries were insanely salty. We couldn't eat them at all, which was disappointing since they're almost a $4 upcharge! The restaurant itself is pretty small, so I'd recommend coming when they open. Otherwise, I could see there being a wait. They only have one cook, so the food can take some time as well, but they have signs letting you know upfront, which I appreciated. There was only 1 waiter, but were friendly and attentive throughout.

The Depot has always been one of our favorite places for special occasions on the Long Beach…read morePeninsula. We own a house in Long Beach, and during the time we lived there full-time, this was our go-to spot for anniversaries and my husband's birthdays. It exudes that cozy, historic Seaview charm that invites you to relax and linger...warm, intimate, and full of character without being over the top. A true small-town and now not so hidden gem. My husband is a fan of their Old Fashioneds, particularly those with a smoked maple twist, and he often gravitates back to the slow-braised pork. Their current Southern Comfort Pork dish is just his style: slow-braised pork shoulder served over brown sugar yam mash with jalapeño creamed corn, green onion, and maple-bacon salsa. That's comfort food crafted with real culinary skill. As someone who follows a plant-based diet, I truly appreciate how The Depot makes an effort to accommodate vegetarian and vegan diners in a way that feels genuine rather than forced. Last winter, I was thrilled to discover the ginger-coconut soba noodles, they were flavorful, satisfying, and perfectly balanced. Their current mika soba noodles with garlic-ginger coconut cream, vegetables, toasted cashews, and cilantro are exactly the kind of dish I'm thankful to find on a Peninsula menu. I also have fond memories of Burger Wednesdays from our time on the Peninsula. It's incredible how satisfying a customized portobello burger can be when a kitchen understands texture and seasoning especially in a place where plant-based options can still be scarce. The food is fantastic, but the service deserves a special mention. While Peninsula restaurants are known for their good service, The Depot's service is exceptional: polished, friendly, warm, and just the right amount of attentive. Although we now reside in California, we plan to make another reservation when we return to the Long Beach Peninsula in July. I'm already looking forward to their summer menu. Note: I've forgotten to take photos so the ones on this review are from the restaurants social media - definitely a reflection of our last meal at The Depot without the drinks.

We arrived before 5:00 pm, and it took a while to even put an order in. Even though we were sitting in the bar and there were a LOT of servers/bussers/etc. We ordered the Mushroom burger, the Chicken Bacon Guac burger and the Prime Rib Dip. Let's start with the pros - the Chicken Bacon Guac burger was pretty good! But the Prime Rib Dip had something like shredded meat on it, not sliced meat. So, when you dipped it in the Au jus, chunks of meet fell into the Au jus. Be ready to fish them out with a fork! The Mushroom burger was an exceptionally thin burger. Our server asked how we wanted it cooked. But it didn't matter. A burger that thin was coming out well done, no matter what. It had mushrooms on it, but not many at all. And we ordered the Cajun Tater Tots. Tonight, it was just like someone cooked tater tots, then shook some seasoning on them, and maybe the lid fell off the seasoning? They were drenched in some kind of Cajun-adjacent spice. We had recently been telling visiting guests that the Lost Roo was the one consistent, reasonably priced restaurant on the peninsula. We're going to have to stop telling people that now. Sadly, it'll be a while before we go back.

Big Sampler comes w/ 4 meats and 2 sides+cornbread. Meats: Pork ribs, pulled pork, chicken, and brisket. Special side of the day: Mac & cheese. Ribs are ok. You could taste the smokiness, but it's def. lacking flavor. Brisket is fall apart tender, but a lot of pieces were dry like it was left out instead of wrapping it after each order to stay moist. It seems as if they sprinkle seasoning after it's cooked. There was no depth to this. Skip the Mac & cheese if they have it as a "special" side for the day. Noodles were wayyyy too overcooked. Cheese sauce was trash. Coleslaw lacked flavor, all you taste is a little vinegar and sugar. Cornbread was ok. It was a little over 15 min out the way to get here. Will not be back.

Small, family-run, welcoming, great service-with-a-smile. Classic variety of meats, great sides. (N.B., my spouse opined that these were, by far, the best collard greens he'd tasted. I am not quite as experienced in the genre of collard greens as he is, but they tasted mighty fine to me!) It was a hot day, and the place was deliciously air-conditioned. Five small tables inside, but plenty of outdoor dining. The place filled up with other happy patrons after we were seated. I had the brisket sandwich... Five stars.

About $9/plate, and I always throw in the extra buck for a tip. Super friendly and pretty quick too.
