Cool Beans!
It was a phrase my daughter used to say in junior high.
Now it's a unique new restaurant housed in the Hutchinson Depot. Randy & I recently gave it a try. I will definitely have to go back because I want to try more things on the menu.

But I am not a snob when it comes to restaurants. However, I do want good food for the money.
If I'm going to pay a premium to have someone else make my meal, I want it to taste good. I'm funny like that.
I do like finding those locally-owned little hideaways that provide a trainload of atmosphere along with tasty fare. And Cool Beans at the Depot fit the bill.
I was a little surprised when I got my sandwich. I was expecting walnuts, grapes and a raspberry yogurt spread along with my turkey.
But it was my fault. I ordered Utopia instead of Jubilation. I had stood at the posted menu for so long trying to decide between all the tasty-looking selections that I said the wrong thing when my big moment to order came.
But Utopia was almost as good as it sounds. The bread was tasty - always a plus when it comes to a sandwich. It had turkey, cheese, bacon, chopped up veggies.

Randy also ordered the Cheeseburger Soup. Look closely. That's a pickle floating on top. It also had chopped dill pickle in the soup itself. It was OK, but since I'm not a huge dill pickle fan, I would probably stick with an actual cheeseburger.

It was served on plates made from melted records.

I will definitely make tracks to Cool Beans again. I would recommend it. But remember: It's only a lunch joint. The train will have left the station by supper time.
See what other diners thought. Check out Urbanspoon.
What fun!! I love interesting new places! (The melted record plates are awesome!)
ReplyDeleteWhere is the train depot? Neither Dave nor I can think where it is.
ReplyDeleteThe depot is just off Main Street, north of where Pegue's used to be, at 3rd and Main.
