The Depot Grille
Steaks, Seafood & Small-Town Charm
Inside Staunton’s historic 1902 C&O train depot — hand-cut steaks, fresh seafood, and our famous chicken tenders, served under the same roof for more than 35 years.
Welcome
Historic Staunton’s Favorite Family Restaurant
Situated in the old freight depot of Staunton Station, our two dining rooms offer seating you won’t find anywhere else. Stroll across original hardwood floors to booths made from oak pews recovered from an old church, mingle with the locals at our 40-foot Victorian bar from a turn-of-the-century luxury hotel, or take in the view of downtown Staunton from our enclosed deck, any season of the year.
