About the Restaurant
The first railroad to Plymouth was built in 1859 and was known as the Sheboygan and Mississippi Railroad. It later became the Sheboygan and Fond du Lac Railroad.
The first depot was built in 1859, and was located about 35 feet south of the present site.
This depot served as a passenger and freight house for 13 years. In 1872 a Union Depot was built. A very destructive fire occurred on July 12, 1887. It consumed the Hub House, the Union Depot, 2 grain elevators, a coal shed, 2 cheese and one freight warehouse, it also badly warped the rails. This same year the second Union Depot was built, serving until 1912, when succeeding railroads constructed their own depots.
By 1912 the dark red, weathered Railroad Depot, which once echoed to the throaty rumble of the C. & N.W. steam engine, had been dismantled. The present building was constructed in 1912.
In 1973 the building was purchased and renovated into a full restaurant and cocktail lounge. In 1998, Noel & Victoria Janke purchased The Depot and reopened as Noel & Victoria's Depot Steakhouse and have been providing excellent food to its local patrons and visitors ever since.
The Depot contains a full kitchen, dining room, and cocktail lounge. The Depot currently employs two chefs, three dishwashers, three bussers, seven servers, five bartenders, and two hostesses. The dining room at The Depot is open Tuesdays through Sundays from 5 p.m. till 9 p.m. and the cocktail lounge is open Tuesdays through Sundays from 4 p.m. till 9 p.m.
