If you haven’t checked out The Depot Eatery at 577 NE F Street in Grants Pass, you are seriously missing out. I have eaten here several times now, and every visit has been consistently impressive. The service is always excellent, friendly, attentive, and welcoming from the moment you walk through the door.
Let’s start with the food. One of my regular orders is the Turkey Basil Sandwich, and it never disappoints. It is served on perfectly grilled sourdough and loaded with turkey breast, grilled onions, havarti cheese, basil pesto, and crispy bacon. The sandwich comes with their house-made potato chips, which are simple, flavorful, and done right. It is one of those meals that keeps you coming back.
For those looking for something a little more special, The Depot is open Friday and Saturday evenings with a dedicated dinner menu that is absolutely worth planning around. My wife and I recently visited on a Friday night and ordered the Prime Rib and the Fish and Chips.
The Prime Rib was cooked to perfection, tender and full of flavor, paired with a rich au jus dipping sauce that complemented the meat beautifully. It was served with a baked potato loaded with all the traditional toppings. It is the kind of dish you immediately start thinking about ordering again before you have even finished your plate.
The Fish and Chips were equally impressive. The fish was fried perfectly, light and crispy without being greasy. It tasted fresh and well-prepared. They even make their own tartar sauce, which adds another layer of flavor to the dish. Once again, the house-made chips stood out. They have a crisp texture and just the right amount of seasoning. I would honestly buy them by the bag if they offered them that way.
Beyond the food, the recently remodeled interior gives The Depot Eatery a cool, comfortable vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. Whether you are stopping in for lunch or planning a relaxed date night, this local favorite delivers a consistently enjoyable experience.
