If you find yourself in Leavenworth, this spot is an absolute gem. Dining inside an authentic, converted railway station sets a fantastic vibe from the second you walk up. The train cars were packed to the rafters when we arrived, but the wait was well worth every minute. ​The moment we sat down, coffee mugs were ready to roll, accompanied by a basket of warm little donut holes delivering the kind of sweet, sugary punch every mid morning meal deserves. ​The drinks delivered across the board. I went with the Bloody Mary, served in a classic country jar with the perfect kick of spicy heat. I also snuck a sip of a friend's Mimosa toward the end of brunch, and it was equally refreshing and balanced. ​The food menu features plenty of creative twists, but the standout was the Smoked Chicken Eggs Benedict. The sweet and savory smoke profile on the chicken paired flawlessly with rich hollandaise and perfectly poached eggs. Across the table, the Reuben was a massive hit--I snagged a few of the accompanying housemade chips, and they were exceptionally crispy and well-seasoned. The Chef Salad and Black Bean Burger earned high marks from the rest of the crew, proving the scratch kitchen handles classic staples just as skillfully as their specialty items. ​Despite a completely full dining room, our server never missed a beat. He was fast, attentive, and didn't even flinch when an extra guest showed up late to our table. Terrific food, unique historic atmosphere, and top-tier hospitality. We'll definitely be back. read more

We stopped by The Depot with a group of friends after a hike, and the staff was so accommodating as our group expanded. It's such a neat, unique venue. Definitely a cool location that I'd recommend checking out. Service was prompt and friendly throughout our visit. Everyone in our group really enjoyed their drinks. The mimosas hit the mark and weren't overly sweet at all. They also offer Bloody Marys and Baileys to spike your coffee, which makes for a fun brunch setup. They did not have a drink menu so talk to your server. For food, most of our table loved their meals! One person tried the corned beef hash and thought it was just okay, but overall the food was a hit. I originally ordered the black bean veggie burger with fries, but ended up getting a different plant-based patty--I think it was a grain or quinoa burger. Either way, it turned out to be really good and came topped with a slice of cheese! Overall, it's a fantastic spot to kick back with friends after spending time outdoors. We'll definitely be back! read more

The Depot - WTAF? - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Leavenworth, Kansas

This popped up as a reminder to review, which for two reasons was weird: 1) it's been 2 years since I was on my 10,500 mile road trip and stopped in; 2) this place is so good that I was thinking about it the other day LOL! From the moment you walk in you feel welcomed and glad to be there, along with a lot of other folks :). There was a wait, but it wasn't long and there's lots of seating, so that was nice. Still remember the coffee - terrific! Check it out if you're a local and haven't been or like me on a road trip and looking for an outstanding breakfast! Can't comment on lunch items, as didn't check it out. read more

The Depot - The complimentary donut holes: yum! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Leavenworth, Kansas

Always have daily specials. Staff is very efficient, friendly, knowledgeable. Third or fourth time we've been here when I come to visit the base to pick up my prescriptions. Food is always exceptional. We did have a short wait, but it was well worth it. read more

First time here. Had the train wreck. It's just enough to last thru dinner. My tea glass never got close to being empty. Sara was great she never asked if I wanted more water or tea. I just got more. Thats how all servers should be. Just fill it up. We were out riding on a hot morning. This is a hidden gem... well maybe not because it was real busy, we will be back. The place was busy but the noise level is low and you never notice it. read more

As an option in Leavenworth this is a hit. Super traditional, busy every day of the week, and a great choice for breakfast, lunch, and/or early dinner. Wonderful staff as well. However, truly traditional and not much flavor or things to write home about. We will totally try again to see, but in my opinion a local staple no matter the flavor. read more

The food is so good and worth the wait. We waited about an hour on a Sunday morning. But once we got our food it was worth it. The sweet and spicy bacon was a hit and so was the chicken hash. They flip tables quickly and have a lot of staff to keep tables flowing. We can't wait to try the lunch menu. read more

This is a decent spot to grab an OK meal. It's nothing fancy and it doesn't try to be, which I can respect. The staff is friendly and the food is pretty good, but nothing special. That's not necessarily a negative thing. It's just what I experienced. For context, this review is coming from some guy who briefly visited the area and ate here twice, once during non-busy hours and once during busy hours. I ate breakfast both times. Yes, this is probably going to sound like someone nitpicking a little bit, but I literally have nothing better to do than write this review right now, and this is all my honest opinion. I hope it's helpful not only to potential customers, but to management as well. The first time I ate here, I had the Gravy Train. It was delicious. The only thing I didn't like was the lack of gravy. I believe the menu said it was "smothered" with sausage gravy, and in that regard, mine definitely wasn't smothered. It was a bit dry. I respectfully asked for just a little more gravy, and the young man serving me kindly obliged. Other than that, the meal was great. I also noticed that during the non-busy hours, the music didn't really match the atmosphere. I believe they were playing a local rock radio station over the speakers. In my opinion, it just didn't fit the vibe of the restaurant. I'm a rock music fan myself, so it wasn't that I disliked the music. It just seemed out of place. Again, that's completely subjective. What irked me more was that there were no paper towels in the bathroom. The second time I ate here was during busy hours on a Sunday morning. I already had a feeling the wait would be long, and it was. That's to be expected. It seems to be a popular place, and they were busy. I ordered the Casey Jones. The pancakes were unusually flat compared to most pancakes I've had. I respectfully asked the waitress if that was normal for this restaurant, and she kindly told me that it was. She offered to have them remade "fluffier," which I respectfully declined. They were also just a tad overcooked, in my opinion. They weren't bad. They tasted like pancakes, so they were fine, but they were a bit stiff and had that firmness that an overcooked pancake tends to have. It was busy, though, and I know they were doing their best. I also ordered a cup of grits on the side. The cup was less than half full, which I thought was a little odd. The grits were also a bit thick. I know that's entirely a matter of preference because different people like their grits at different consistencies. Otherwise, they tasted just fine once I mixed in some butter. All in all, it was a decent meal. Nothing blew me away, and there were several little things that I think could be improved, but nothing was outright terrible either. The staff are super friendly, and that was probably the biggest positive of both visits. The owner even remembered my name, which, considering how busy the restaurant was on Sunday morning, was genuinely impressive. It's an unpretentious local breakfast spot serving OK food with genuinely friendly people. There's room for improvement, but I don't regret eating here. Also, shout out to the beautiful female employee in the Daisy Dukes who held the door open for me when I came in. Much obliged. read more

We recently held my husband's funeral luncheon at the Depot and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. Planning an event on short notice while grieving is incredibly overwhelming, but the owner Mary and her staff made the process completely seamless. They were organized and highly professional. On the day of the luncheon, the setup was perfect, the food was excellent, and our service was flawless. Many of our guests commented on how wonderful the historic venue was. Thanks to the entire staff for easing our burden and taking such good care of us. Our family would like to give a special thanks to our server, Bonnie. She was absolutely amazing.

I have eaten at this place more times than I can count and I have NEVER had bad food. There is a reason there is a line out of the door on most days and it's 100% because the food and service here is amazing. I really wish I had experience with more of the food but I can't break away from the same 3 things (the gravy train, huevos rancheros, smoked chicken hash benedict). Always my staple foods here and always amazing. The last time I went was worth a picture and I can't believe I havent reviewed a hometown secret like The Depot before now. If you're in town or if you have to drive a distance, I promise you won't be disappointed. read more

Best breakfast restaurant in Kansas. There was multiple people waiting outside on our arrival, which is a sign of a good and popular eatery. The staff was very attentive and provided regular updates. We were seated in a reasonable amount of time and wait staff was very prompt in getting our drink and food orders. The food was amazing and it was apparent that food was made from scratch. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone. This place is the hidden gem of Leavenworth County. read more

I wanted to give a positive comment about some associates in our Leavenworth/Lansing KS store for yesterday 22March purchase. Mary assisted me in outside lights, an associate with a ladder question, a RYOBI question and Shannon assisted at checkout. At check out Shannon completed my transaction unfortunately a glitch with in stock inventory on hand was questionable so she fouls me an alternative better option. Everyone provided excellent customer service and Shannon was pleasant knowledgeable calm through the whole process. I appreciate my local Home Depot. Thank you read more

Sara is the best server there, kind and attentive. The food is spot on and the prices are spectacular. We are never disappointed thrre.

Too pricey for the quality. Under seasoned. Under seasoned. Under seasoned. We don't eat out much so The Depot will not be a destination of choice. Definitely disappointed especially because it's expensive. read more

The Depot has become one of our favorite places to eat while living at Fort Leavenworth during my time attending CGSC. We've eaten here repeatedly, and every visit has been a great experience. The food is consistently excellent, the service is friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere always makes our family feel welcome. It's clear the staff takes pride in what they do. Highly recommend to anyone in the Leavenworth area looking for a reliable place with great food and outstanding customer service. read more

Generally speaking, this is a decent place to either get breakfast, lunch, or brunch. I don't think I have ever been here when there was not a wait so be prepared for no more than 15 minutes. Although full to the brim, the service is fast and efficient and the food is promptly delivered. Prices are reasonable and portions are large. read more

While visiting Leavenworth, I had a few mornings with enough time to get a decent breakfast. The Depot was highly rated, and did not disappoint. My wife and I tried two of the hash/Benedict breakfast plates, and both were amazing. The coffee was excellent and they left a carafe on the table for refills. Finally - there was a changing table in the men's restroom, which is a bit of a pet peeve of mine with restaurants. Thank you for that! read more

Wow!! What a treat!! The Depot was a bright spot in our trip to Leavenworth. Grace was an amazing server and took excellent care of us. I had 2 eggs, delicious crispy hash browns, and 3 sausage patties. I ordered two extra patties because they were so delicious. My wife had some eggs, biscuits and gravy and sausage as well. She got some hashbrowns, too. She loved every bite of all of it. I thought the restaurant was very cute and definitely a historic building. We will have breakfast here every time we return to Leavenworth. It was just excellent! read more

We were immediately greeted by one of the waiters, led to our table and got our drinks. The server was a bit loud but he was kind and attentive. I had the steak salad with a fruit cup on the side. Husband had the lady marmalade and chicken tenders and fries for our babies. My food was good, steak was cooked just like I wanted. Husband liked his burger but it was a little too sweet for his taste. Our babies chicken tenders were a little passed crispy for them to eat it so they just ate the fries and snacked on the complementary cinnamon rolls the waiter brought for them. Which was also good. Mac and cheese was okay in my opinion. At the end we went to pay and the lady in the front did not acknowledge us there at all and was having a conversation with another woman on the side. She just waved and said to tap our card when we're ready. On top of that we find out our kids food isn't $6 like it says on the paper they give you, it's actually $14 for the burnt chicken tenter pieces and fries with a kiddy cup. In total our entire meal was a little over $66. It was an alright experience eating here. Inside looks clean. Waiters are nice. Tables are a little crowded next to each other. Not bad but not great as well. read more

Stopped by here to have breakfast with a coworker before a conference. He had biscuit and gravy and I had 2 eggs, ham, and hash browns. We also had coffee and orange juice. It was all hot and fresh and very tasty. The wait staff was amazing! They were attentive to our table and were quick to respond with condiments we ran out of. I would have given it 5 stars but the lady at the desk who took my payment did not even speak to me. She took the bill, pointed silently at the payment screen and acted as if we were not there. That was unfortunate as the breakfast was awesome. Will stop by the next time I am in town and hopefully it will end better. read more
