Missouri sure does lay claim to plenty of unique, repurposed restaurants. In fact, we Missourians can dine in a 171-year-old stable; we can toast our meal in a former, historic train car; and we can feel like royalty as we await our dinner in a former castle. And, we can sit down in a cozy, former historic train station for a made-from-scratch meal at this charming Missouri restaurant.
Tucked in Fredericktown, The Depot Cafe once served as a bustling train station - the historic Missouri Pacific Railroad Station - where passengers waited as they traveled to and from town.
So, pull up a chair at the former historic train station, where you can kick off your meal with such appealing appetizers as spinach artichoke dip or hummus and naan.
Then, decide which made-from-scratch meal will most satisfy those hunger pangs. In the mood for a sandwich? Try the burger, chili dog, or grilled ham and cheese.
Of course, you might want to dig into a hearty entree. The generous selection of entrees includes railroad pork chop, boxcar shrimp, and Cajun meatloaf.
Bringing the kiddos along? Then, they'll have plenty of kid-friendly dishes from which to choose, such as hot dogs, pasta with meat sauce, and a burger with pickles.
Treat yourself to lunch or dinner at the Depot Cafe, open Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
