Review of Lincoln Depot - St Cloud, MN

Many moons ago the Lincoln Depot was just a bar that served good burgers. As time marched forward and the powers that be decided that they needed a separate dining room, the Lincoln Depot became much more. It became a family friendly restaurant with a thoroughly ingrained locomotive theme.

Food: 7

Assuming that you like bar faire americana, then the Lincoln Depot serves up a bounty of tasty dishes for people of varying tastes. Salads, sandwiches, wraps, burgers, and a cornucopia of yummy fried objects. Oh, and try the soups. Beer Cheese and Chili are mainstays, but I have heard reports that the onion soup is great…guess you have to like onion more than I do to appreciate it.

Eatin out at the Depot is a great thing on the pocketbook as well as you can always go out on a date with a significant other and manage to spend around $20 and that’s no stripped down meal. This would include an app, entrees, and drinks. Definitely reason to go more often.

Service: 8

The staff at the Depot are an ageless lot that seem to stick a round forever. They are the type of people you get to know and always seem to remember what you had last time you were there. Ok, so people to come and go, but the core seems to remain the same.

Atmosphere: 9

Remember mention of the train theme? Well, the Depot has a train on a suspended track that travels around the restaurant and bar area. A mural and a lot of train and station memorabilia adorn the walls and even the table tops to bring it all together. To top it off you can order a Switchman’s Special or the Cowcatcher off the menu which continues the theme in the menu too. Its a nice touch.

Definitely worth going to if you are on the east side of St Cloud and looking for some good grub at a good price!
