On our way back from Snowshoe, we stopped in Staunton, Virginia at The Depot Grille. The railroad came to Staunton in 1854 and changed the area from a rural town to a center for trade. In 1989 the property that was once the train station was renovated and The Depot Grille now stands in its spot. Check out the paper on top of the tables with crayons for coloring and the toy trains placed around the restaurant.
Open six days a week, the Grille allows you to eat while sitting next to a caboose. After eating, you can head to the back and walk along the tracks. Find the stairs that lead to the bridge up and over the tracks for a birds' eye view of the tracks. This is a perfect stop for any train lovers!
