Depot — Restaurant in Rittman

Unless you're from the area chances are you'd pass this place without a second glance. With the looks of an old railway car it really is a quaint place to stop and have breakfast or lunch. Full of local paraphernalia and pictures, this establishment has been there for almost as long as Rittman itself. The staff is fantastic, the waitresses are polite and knowledgeable of the entire menu as most have worked there for many years.. The portions are fantastic and won't leave you hungry, choices of breakfast food range from your basic pancake to in-house specials like "The Conductor" which is a giant sausage patty over sourdough bread with egg and covered in sausage gravy which has never left this patron dissatisfied. Lunchtime specials include burgers, wraps and other sandwiches but don't expect to catch dinner here as most days they are closed by 3 p.m. The Depot is one of those small town gems that most people only hear about from friends in the area and while busy the wait is never too long.. Breakfast is served all day and the prices are ridiculously cheap. If you don't have time to stop in and sit for a while they will also make your food to go with just a phone call ahead to place the order or a few minutes of waiting while...

Rittman historian Patt Watts says the city is named for Fred Rittman, former treasurer of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, which built a line through town in 1871. Previous name ‘Arkona’ had to be changed because it was too easily confused with Akron.

The Erie Depot opened 1871 on South Main Street, but farmers moved the narrow wooden building to its current location in 1913. Conrail took over Erie in 1976 and discontinued its Rittman service in 1983.

Debra Lieberth has owned The Depot for 20 years. Located across the tracks from Morton Salt facility, which means customers never have to worry about running out of seasoning.

Very cute little place! After seeing the restaurant, highlighted on television show and google thought it might be worth the ride…We were greeted with a nice welcome as we entered. Three of us ate Omelette, hashbrowns, some little thing they called a biscuit. Philly cheesesteak sandwich on a hamburger bun, where’s the meat? A patty melt, Hamburger meat tasted like it may have been freezer burned. Double fried french fries. Everything was pretty greasy! It was really not good food. My husband said his worst breakfast. We were all disappointed. Pictures of food on the Internet looked...
