The food here is absolutely delicious! We got the seafood pasta and pork loin chops with cheese grits and Brussels and a side house salad with the house vinaigrette, 10/10. The pork was so tender and juicy and the grits very flavorful. The Brussels were charred but not burnt. Cute date night style atmosphere and small personable bar. The bartender Joey was very nice and friendly. Michelle the chef/ owner came out to introduce herself and was super kind and informative about recipes she plans to make through the week. I loved it! This is definitely a hit in roxboro for sure!

The owner was the most wonder woman I’ve come across in a while. My father was from New Orleans and the gator bites reminded me of him and of his cooking. The restaurant is tucked away in the corner in Roxboro and was so peaceful. Prices for my husband and I to eat lunch, with appetizers, wasn’t, far from what it would cost to eat at Chick-fil-A. Will definitely be back. 10/10

While passing through Roxboro, we decided to stop here at the Depot Southern Bistro. The atmosphere was very nice. The price range was nice. The customer service was extremely exceptional. The was nice. Nice location. Public parking nearby.

We had the fried pickles and Shrimp & Grits, and the food was worth the price! I plan on coming back the next time I’m in Roxboro.
Some reviews here mention complaints of pricing, but I’d MUCH rather give $55 to this local business, than give $5.00 to McDonald’s for a super-processed mcChicken.
While the owner prepared the food, served us, and chatted respectfully, I was wondering how I can help this locally owned and operated restaurant.. So, I plan on bringing my friends and family here in the future as well as subtly advertising anyway I can.
Message to owner; the food was great and I really do plan on returning. Take some of these reviews in, and leave the rest! It sounds like people are just looking for consistency, reliability, and comfort. Don’t be afraid to ask for help! I don’t know if there are restaurant-crisis teams, but if you’re able to I recommend doing a huge wave of coupons, flyers, and local advertising on a Monday or Tuesday and having at least 2 servers, 1 food prepper and 1 cook standing at the ready position!
Be ready because service is not likely to take-off, but an increase is what matters and I recommend coupons, family-night specials where kids are discounted or free(because that brings in a whole new generation of customers!) As for pricing, (in the end)profiting $4/plate on 15 plates is a 50% more than profiting $8/plate on 5 plates, and will get a better customer return and attract new customers!
I think anyone will rather spend $10 for one of your burgers than $10 for a McDonald’s fatty-liver cancer diagnosis in a paper bag, but first we need to get your name out there and have a team on standby to make some money!

Oh where do I begin, long review incoming. Third time is a charm, I guess, I suppose. Had tried to eat here previously but they were either closed(door unlocked but was told to come back) or didn’t get there on their weird hours. “Red flag”. We should have listened to the universe, it told us twice. Decided to have a Saturday date night. Granted, their Saturday hours are 5pm-10pm. Since we were dismissed previously showing up “early” we made sure to arrive at 5:30ish. When we arrived at PRIME dinner time, there was only one other couple there. That remained the case until we left @ 7:00. On a Saturday. Another red flag. From 5:30-7pm only us and 1 other table. Started with the boudin balls recommended by the server. More on her later. Balls were Meh. Sooooo many onions. Asked about the “pork belly & Mac n cheese” and our amazing, well informed, and on point waitress, when asked about the dish explained-ish what pork belly was not what the “Special” dish consisted of. I reiterated that I just needed an explanation of the dish and she couldn’t provide one. Main course was for me the smash burger and fries, husband was one of the specials, ribeye w/ grilled shrimp. No one mentioned that the fries had some weird cinnamon/sugar seasoning on them that made them absolutely disgusting. If I wanted sweet fries, offer sweet potato. You know what, I can’t even. My Karen is showing (unlike all of the reviews she had her friends fake post) and I’m sick typing this review. Food was terrible. Didn’t get the shrimp we paid for. I feel comfortable saying that the previous good reviews were made by her friends or acquaintances. NO WAY these are authentic reviews. I have so much more to say but I am so tired of typing. If you go here, may the odds be ever in your favor. Sorry but I’m tapping out.

The atmosphere was nice and our waitress Lexy was very attentive, not surprising since we were the only party in the restaurant. It took us a while to get our food, but when it arrived, the ribeye I had ordered was prepared well done rather then medium and tasted burnt. I sent the steak back and listened as the woman at the grill berated me for not knowing the difference between medium and medium rare. She didn’t realize that I was seated 10 feet away and was listening to her every word, or perhaps she just didn’t care. The second time around, the ribeye was rare. Rather then sending it back again, I took the steak home and cooked it myself. It was delicious. Although the food was good overall it was an unpleasant experience and I won’t be going back.

I went on a Tuesday evening. It appears to be a Mom and Daughter run operation, with Mom cooking and the Daughter running the bar and front of the house. Very friendly.
The food was good. I ordered the pork loin chops and substituted their mushroom risotto for the mashed. I’d come back.

Friendly waitress, but the restaurant was very OVERPRICED!!! I went as 1 in a party of 4, and only 2 of us had drinks. When the check came, I misread it, thinking it was for 82 dollars. I recall thinking that 82 dollars was a reasonable price. Just before leaving, I was made aware that the actual cost was about 320 dollars, and that 82 dollars was the suggested tip, which made my final total an even 400 dollars!!! There was no air conditioning. They couldn’t make any of the drinks we ordered because they were out of just about everything. They only had 1 burger, so one of our guests had to order something else. The only thing they had to drink was cola and tea. Don’t even think of getting a mixed drink here! I wanted an Absolute and cranberry, but I had to settle for Grey Goose and tea. If you do go here, I strongly suggest that you do not get any alcohol as my drinks were 16 dollars each and weren’t very good. Overall, the food was ok, what they had, but this was by no means imaginable, a 400 dollar meal! I have been to many nicer restaurants, and the checks weren’t even a third this much.
