Eatery At the Depot — Restaurant in Branchville

This is a little hidden gem located in the old railroad depot in Branchville. The food was absolutely fantastic. We had a large party and no one was disappointed in anything that was ordered, or the service.

I had been in contact with the owner months in advance for our plans to visit. They opened a little early to accommodate our group so we could be in and out before the main rush came at 6pm.

This restaurant is an absolute gem. The food is outstanding. Prime rib is on point. Crab dip is phenomenal. The staff are always friendly and helpful.

We were really disappointed with the meal, this is what the shrimp and grits looks like if you get it for carryout, not a lot of food considering what they charge for the shrimp and grits, and it was put in a cardboard container, that soaked up all the water out of the grits and got it so wet it wet the bottom of the bag it was in, after a 15 minute drive home, the grits was completely scaled over and hard in the bottom and just not fit to eat, it should have been in a styrofoam tray.
