This building used to be a historic train depot and has now been transformed into a restaurant. The Depot Restaurant is located in Douglas at 100 E. Walnut Street.
The building was the former Burlington Northern Depot. The railroad system in Wyoming played such an important role in history with the transcontinental line and the coal industry. This depot was established during the era of the petroleum and livestock boom that occurred around World War I.
The restaurant serves traditional American food. Some of the menu items are even named using train terminology such as the Cattle Car, The Conductor and Train Wreck.
Here, you will find some of the best steaks in Douglas. Pictured is the charbroiled rib eye which is a 12 oz. hand cut steak seasoned and grilled to your taste.
Burgers are also a favorite here. Pictured is the Spicy Bacon Blue Burger which is a 1/3 pound ground chuck patty, seasoned, chargrilled and served with bacon, cheese, lettuce, pickle and tomato.
Pictured here is the Train Wreck. A train wreck never tasted so good!
You can enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner at The Depot Restaurant. One of their breakfast favorites is the Tex Mex Omelet which is made with sausage, ham or bacon with grilled onions, peppers and spicy cheese sauce.
