The Depot Cafe

Very thing was really really good. Thanks!

Fair food. Reuben sandwich was good. Fries were old and not hot. Turkey sandwich was okay. Would not wait to eat here nor will we dine here again.

Love the food and the service! The most friendliest place with great homemade deliciousness for your belly! A great way to start your stay in Sisters

FYI– only cooks in butter and not willing to do grilled onions or mushroom in anything but butter. Not good for dairy free allergies. Bummed we ate here.
My chicken burger turned into lettuce, onion, pickle, avocado.

Had the Super Turkey sans cream cheese but added the pepper jelly. Amazing! So light and refreshing on a warm summer day, yet also filling. Chili is mediocre, a little too watery and herby (sage?). Mushroom burger is really good and hand cut fries are
!!! Chocolate milkshake is pretty good too and they give you a lot. Also nice they serve drinks. Service was quick and there was no line at all. Overhead several others repeatedly saying how good their sandwiches were (Reuben and roast beef), even going up to the hostess and thanking them for such a good sandwich. Back patio had great ambiance.

Good food made fresh. Delish!
Bacon Burger was awesome. Bacon was made fresh.
The potato curry soup was great.
And friendly even when super busy!

We went on a busy Sunday & were able to call ahead and get our name on the list so we got seated right away. Wonderful!
The food was good but not great. The portion size was small for what you pay and our waitress (who was very friendly) did not refill our drinks; coffee & water (even after asking). Cute atmosphere & a wonderful back deck make the place worth giving it a try.

Stopped here for a late lunch based on prior Unilocal reviews. Had the turkey and swiss– liked a lot. The deck behind the restaurant is a great place to sit in nice weather. I would eat here again if I were ever in the area.

I understand it can get busy in Sisters in the summer, that’s no reason to be rude. The staff here isn’t friendly at all.
It was over 100° and the line was super long. I Tried to get water while we waited but not one of the three water stations had cups. There were also TONS of yellow jackets around because all the trash cans were overflowing. Very scary.
I had the cool cucumber cocktail. I’m a super light weight so I usually feel something after one drink. I could tell they didn’t put almost any alcohol in the drink.
Two stars for the amount of meat on the sandwiches. Really good quality.

This cute deli has adorable décor with flowers and vegetable plants everywhere! You order at the counter and seat yourself. They have a huge patio that allows you to sit in the shade and enjoy the décor! It’s a good sandwich/​salad place with lots of fresh avocado. They also have baked goods for purchase! Their prices are OK, I got the open faced chicken pita ($ 11) and it was pretty good! I would’ve liked more chicken on it but it was filling and a great start to your day. 8)

The food and atmosphere are great at this casual, order from the counter, restaurant. We had several sandwiches which were all equally good and the fries were amazing. The burger was juicy and very tasty too. Sit outside as the garden setting is quite comfortable with cold water misters and ample shade to dodge the hot afternoon sun.

Don’t go here. We were told we needed to wait 10 minutes for lunch to begin, so we stuck around. 40 minutes later, they finally called us in to order lunch after they had already taken other orders from people who had not been waiting.
When we got up to order the ladies who were taking our order were clearly disorganized, aggravated, and unfriendly because of how busy the restaurant was. They made it apparent to us that they were stressed and took it out on us with their curt remarks and rude behavior.
The food could have been decent, but the service was so terrible I would highly recommend going elsewhere. I don’t normally write reviews, but I felt inclined to warn people about this place specifically.
Maybe you will be provided better service if the place is not busy. But if any amount of traffic comes in expect rude behavior from the staff because they cannot manage a large amount of customers without breaking down.

We had great sandwiches and burgers here. The patio was welcome after a long road trip. It’s casual and kid friendly.

Walked in to a small quaint café on our way through Sisters. The service was pretty slow to start as they only have 1 waitress. Once the food came it was good; we had breakfast. Fun place to stop and the waitress was very friendly and always smiled.

We love visiting these little cafes all over, so we were pretty disappointed in our experience. My wife ordered a sandwich with no mayo, she can’t have it. It came with mayo, no big deal, brought it up and just asked for another slice of bread. The lady glared at her then went back grabbed a piece, came out and tossed it in her plate. My wife said thanks and the lady said, «Ya.»
The patty melts were on special, my father and I got it. Both were burnt so much that the bread would break as you are it.
Too bad, we would’ve been frequent visitors.

We came to sisters to visit for the weekend and had breakfast here on the way out. The food and service was amazing. Love that they are gluten free friendly. Will be back next time we are in town.

Great sandwiches and soup! Ate here on a cold day and their menu had a wonderful selection. Great service too!

Love this place! I’ve been her twice so far, and have been satisfied both times.
I especially love the smoked turkey sandwich with pepper jam. I was a little timid when the it was recommended to me. But after trying it out I don’t know if I can ever try any of the other dishes here.
All in all this place has great service, an awesome community atmosphere, and not to mention wonderful food.

Things started out promising, we could bring our dog on the patio, which was awesome. But the service was terrible, it was a Sunday morning and not that busy. Our waitress asked us if we wanted our check about 5 minutes after we ordered our meal. A half an hour later we got our pancakes and scrambled eggs. I asked for no cheese on my scramble and, sure enough, it had cheese on it and my eggs were a little burnt. We had to ask for water refills and never got them.
All in all, I wanted to like this cute little place but probably won’t be going back next time we go through Sisters.

I have to admit, I completed misjudged this place based on the exterior. It appears very dark, sort of like an old saloon, from the entrance on Cascade Avenue. So imagine my surprise when I enjoyed lunch on the large back deck, which might be one of the nicest outdoor dining spaces in town. Seasons is another local favorite, but the Depot’s menu is much broader.
On a summer weekend, the wait was long to place our order at the counter, but the food was worth the wait. The outdoor dining area has all the essential elements: nice quantity of tables of varying sizes, all well spaced from one another. There were cactus plants on the tables, but plenty of trees providing shade and flowering plants and art to make the area feel relaxing and comfortable. Dogs were happily lounging with diners at almost every table.
Our groups’ meals, a variety of sandwiches and burgers, were all very good. I had the Peachy Keen Burger, mainly because I was fascinated by the description (BBQ sauce and peaches) and it all worked. One surprise is that most burgers are served on a cheese-​onion Kaiser roll, so you may want to substitute a plain bun for any diners not interested in something a little out of the ordinary.
Portion size was spot on. Frequently I only eat half of my lunch due to the insane portion size most places serve, but this was just right. Water is served in Mason jars and they have a nice selection of beverages. The place was swamped, but the staff was hustling and did their best to provide good, timely service.
They do have tables indoors and a model train chugging in a circle around the ceiling. As a nod to Sisters most important festival, one of the box cars had miniature quilts hanging on the side.
I’m kicking myself for not eating here sooner. Better late than never!
