The Depot at Doolittles, formerly known as Dr Doolittle's Roadside Cafe & Creamery, was a beloved establishment located at an undisclosed location. With their unique concept, The Depot at Doolittles offered a delightful experience that combined elements of a cafe, creamery, and roadside attraction. The brand's vibrant atmosphere attracted visitors of all ages, eager to explore the various attractions such as train cars, mini-golf, and a dinosaur exhibit. Guests could also indulge in mouthwatering hot dogs, delectable milkshakes, and other tasty treats. Additionally, the establishment offered activities like laser tag and a museum, ensuring there was something for everyone. Unfortunately, The Depot at Doolittles has closed its doors, leaving behind fond memories amongst its loyal customers. Even though its physical presence may no longer be accessible, the unique spirit and joy it brought to visitors will not be forgotten.

Very nice place, and has something for everyone. The variety of food items is very large, and I haven't had bad food here. It is very family oriented. All of the tables are a little different, which it makes it unique. The food prices are very reasonable. They have deals through the week. There is normally a short wait, but there are different things to see in and out of the resteraunt. It is perfect to take a family or hang out with friends.

Great, quirky roadside stop. Food is pretty good and priced great. Take some time to walk around the grounds and check out the historic train cars and the dinosaurs.

Great little place to stop, especially if you have kids. Decently priced. Friendly service. Friendly staff. Place needs some tlc. The mini golf is pretty dumpy but could easily be cleaned up. Maybe it's just early in the season, and it will be fixed up, idk. Its also badly marked and no directions on where to go after getting your putter and ball on where to go so most people walk all the way back up the hill through the parking lot not knowing to go to the left of the ice cream building and between the buildings. The dinosaurs are cool if you have younger kids. They put vr chairs in a weird place, and they are really bad. 1 of the 6 work, and they are really badly located and just bad looking. Overall though younger kids would definitely enjoy it, and it's worth the stop. 5$ a person to enter the dinosaurs and 4$ a person for mini golf. Spent 40$ at the depot, which I didn't think was bad. I had 3 ribs beans and potatoe salad. My wife had brisket applesauce and sweet potato fries. My daughter had chicken nuggets, applesauce, and a cookie. The ribs were dry, but everything else was good. The staff everywhere was friendly. Our waiter was great. Will be trying the pizza next time and or the Angry Goat.

Today was our third family visit and this place definitely delivers on it's promise. We ate the Haddock fish with fries, sweet fries and union rings. Fish was excellent and so we're the sides The service is excellent quick and friendly. We recommend and highlight this place as one of the best place we eat in the area. Three times says it all !

The prices were amazingly low, and the quality of the food was 🔥 I got the grilled chicken sandwich which was seasoned and grilled perfectly and fried mushrooms. There were so many I couldn't even eat them all! My friend got the cheeseburger, pulled pork sandwich, and fries. He said his was delicious too. Our total was around $20 with all food and two drinks!

Fairly accurate dinosaurs mingle with Bigfoot at this former train depot turned mini golf course. Get diner food, road side fast food, ice cream, amazing pizza… and they have a very impressive microbrewery. I can’t believe such a magical place exists!

Great place to eat for your while family. We ate in the pizza parlor train and the pizza was delicious and made super quick in their brick oven. You can order from other trains and they bring your food to you. They also have a nice deck to sit out on, a bunch of different trains to take a look in with different things, ice cream, lazor tag and an area with animals. Overall it was a great evening exploring all their trains and things to do.

Great place. Neat old train cars converted to different uses. Everything from a bar, 50's diner, to laser tag and goats of all things. Staff was friendly, kids enjoyed the visit. Prices are great too. All around good place to visit.
