I really liked it here! I was excited to go here for the unique environment. Our server was hospitable and food arrived promptly, warm and well-presented, and more importantly, tasty! The burger was perfect; if I hadn’t ate the appetizers (mozzarella moons), I surely would’ve downed the whole thing! I am so glad to have gone here; it felt cozy and comfortable, with the decorations and fixtures. Regulars stop by, and while this was our first time, I’d certainly come back.

We showed up while a band was playing on the outside patio. The ambiance is so nice and relaxing here, it is so cool to see the trains pass! Our waitress Hilary was so sweet and attentive she was amazing! We got the mozzarella moons and they were 10/10! I got the buffalo chicken salad and my boyfriend for the wings. Both amazing, would recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area looking for a nice relaxing night out. Great experience, great service, we will definitely be back.

In our ongoing goal of trying local restaurants in the area, tonight we tried the Berea depot.

Upon pulling into the Parking lot, you can see it is architecturally very interesting. It is a registered historical site and the interior and exterior just begs to explore.

We arrived around 4:30pm and were seated immediately. The section we sat in, we were alone initially but soon filled in with several more people soon after. Where we were seated and an excellent view of the train tracks that run parallel to the restaurant and each time a train passed by, several of the surrounding tables had children jump on chairs to marvel at the passing trains.

Service was excellent, our waitress stayed on top of our beverages and refills and was by the table often without being overbearing.

Food wise, for an appetizer, we ordered the Tempura fried mozzarella moons. They came out quickly and were clearly prepared and made in-house. They were stuffed with cheese and were quite tasty. The marinara sauce was also quite good but as a forewarning, the sauce is cold/cool so it contrasts against the hot wedges.

For our main course, I got the turkey Cobb salad and a baked potato on the side. My wife got the short rib melt with fries. The Cobb salad was decently proportional for the price, the plating was well done and everything was as expected for a good turkey Cobb. Had the house Italian and that paired very well with the salad. The baked potato was perfectly done and exactly what I was looking for in a plain baked potato.

The short rib melt was quite delicious as well. The onions were cooked expertly and the meat was well seasoned and flavorful. The fries were seasoned well and were great.

For dessert, we got an order of cheesecake which was served with a few dollops of whipped cream and a raspberry drizzle. Cheesecake was a decent size and was good.

All in all it was a great experience and will be a place we will come back to in The future for sure.

First time there, will not be our last! We really enjoyed our visit. The service: the hostess & server (Kierstan) outstanding. The food: absolutely wonderful. The property: interesting. The price: VERY reasonable!
As we sat waiting for our entrees we heard and watched the staff tend to the other patrons. The entire staff was very accommodating. One table wanted relocated because of the abundance of children another group enjoyed. One dish delivered wasn’t quite what was wanted and was quickly replaced for a gentleman. Each and every dish was ample in portion. We had nothing but a quality dining experience and plenty left-over to box up and take home. We were there with family from Florida and Missouri visiting. We sat and talked awhile (quite awhile!) but no one got antsy about us sitting so long and eventually ordered coffee & dessert. The dessert ordered was the bread pudding. WOW!
The staff is so gracious. We just thouroughly enjoyed our time there.
THANKS!

The food was good but not amazing. For just the food, I’d give them 3 stars.

The service was friendly but not phenomenal. For just the service, I’d give them 3-3½ stars.

The ambience and decor was very interesting. They get a full 4 stars from me for all the fascinating train-related pieces around the place.

This is a unique place to dine. The sandwiches were great, the staff was super friendly and the atmosphere was rustic cool….created from the previous Berea Train Depot. There are original pieces and parts from the train depot decorating the entire restaurant. There is also a Train Car connected to the main area that is used for parties around 24 people. The owner is super excited about this establishment and answer any questions you have.

Really cool atmosphere, the draft selection wasn’t bad and service was nice. The burger wasn’t bad but it wasn’t cooked to the temp I asked for. Sweet Chilli sauce for the wings is store bought and nothing special. Overall good place to past time for flight if near the airport. I just can’t give more than 3 stars for average food.

If I could give 3.5 stars I would, but the service really brought our experience down tonight. The food was actually really good, my club sandwich was huge, the fish and chips great, and the salad we got was gigantic! Seriously, no complaints about the food at all!

The service however, was really, really, reeeeeeaaaaallllly slow. It would be very forgivable on the case of an extremely busy night, but it wasn’t super crowded. Server was pleasant, just too absent.

Could’ve been a one off experience, though.

Great food and service. Large bar area and separate dining rooms. Great for an afternoon with the family (baby and toddler). Frequent trains passing by (once an hour). Reasonably priced food.
