Kraig and Brett Balcer are the new owners of The Depot family restaurant. Brett Balcer was leaving the oilfield and the brothers, both Sidney natives, had been talking about getting into the restaurant business for a while, having spent their summers helping out with a family owned restaurant in Glendive, MT. They knew the previous owners of The Depot, and knew that there was an opportunity for them to purchase the business, which became a sure thing in the spring of 2016.
“We got a good package, especially with the building having been recently remodeled,” commented Kraig Balcer.
The two have spent much of their time since in the restaurant, learning the former owners’ routines to make a smooth transition.
The eatery offers pizza, soups, burgers, and appetizers. A couple of their most popular menu items include their delicious pinecone appetizers and their hot cheese pizza.
They have plans to add delivery drivers and offer delivery service to businesses over the lunch hour, and would like to introduce a weekend brunch menu.
“We’re adding new items and weekly specials, but the menu is going to stay the same for the most part. We’re still going to be ‘The Depot’,” they added. “We’ve gotten a good response from the community; everyone is pretty excited, and we have a lot of support from our family and friends.”
The Depot is located at 2302 S Central Ave in Sidney, and they can be reached at 406-433-4650. They are open Monday – Thursday from 10:30am to 9:30pm, Friday and Saturday from 10:30am to 10:30pm, and Sundays from 10:30am to 9:00pm.
