Some meals are meant to be eaten quickly, satisfying our hunger and giving us the energy to face the rest of our day. When we’re not in a rush, we sometimes crave a unique experience to go along with our meal. That’s what Depot Diner, a 60s-themed cafe in Golden, Missouri, promises. Pair that old-school theme with a unique setting and a menu jam-packed with classic comfort food, and you just might be on the verge of meeting your new favorite restaurant in Missouri.
When you first arrive at the Depot Diner in Golden, you might think your GPS has led you astray...until you realize that this retro restaurant sits smack dab in the middle of a small country airport.
Just 200 feet from the runway and next to a hanger, Depot Diner has, since it opened in 2022, quickly become a favorite. You'll likely see why before you even go inside.
Hangar at Point 25 hosts a variety of events, including the local Chiggerfest, and will also be available to rent for special occasions.

Once you stroll through the front door, you'll be whisked back to a bygone era. Whether you slide onto a stool at the counter or slip into a booth, watch as your meal is prepared.
While you can't beat that chill vibe indoors, you might want to sit outdoors on a lovely day. You might even see a plane or two take off or land.

If the unique setting and laidback ambiance haven't won you over, the food will. Piglets (fried pork loin bites, pictured), sweet potato fries, and fried pickle spears all offer a tasty way to start your meal.
Some days, no matter what the weather, were just made for soup and a sandwich. This retro diner serves such favorite handhelds as burgers, patty melts, and Reubens.
Share a pie or order it all for yourself. All pizzas are 14 inches. From classic cheese to Mojo (pepperoni and cream cheese), there's a pizza for every taste.
