Who we are?
This community wide effort became a reality when the Depot opened in June of 2013. Of course it took the board of directors six years of hard work before that to get the ball rolling. Today the After 26 Project, a tax exempt 501(c)(3) corporation, employs 19 ‘Project Workers’ that perform various job tasks around the restaurant. Typical job responsibilities include greeting customers, taking water to tables, washing dishes, busing & cleaning tables, cleaning menus, janitorial duties, and related tasks.The Depot is overseen by a volunteer board of directors, with daily operations handled by a general manager.

We held a baby shower here and it was amazing from start to finish! The workers were so incredibly nice and accommodating (Shout out to Donny! We adored him and his smiles made our entire day!). We are from out of state, but have family in the area, and were a bit nervous about not seeing the location beforehand but it ended up being perfect. The building is beautiful, the food was tasty, and location was incredibly convenient, but what really sold us is what they stand for at After 26. I highly recommend people to visit their website and read all about this place.

Great food. The place was packed with people waiting to get in yet the service was still good. Love the decor and their support in hiring the handicapped. Highly recommend.

We had a great experience here! The staff was attentive and we especially appreciated that adults with disabilities are being given a chance to show off their skills in the workplace! We enjoyed our Turkey Bacon Ranch Wrap and Fish and Chips. The patio was lovely and we’ll definitely return if we get to be in the area again!

I had wanted to stop here before, but was never able to. We were in town, thought now is our chance. I worked adults with developmental disabilities in a previous job, which coming from an engineer from a big 3 auto maker, was a change for me. I grew to love those kids! They were all adults, and I worried about programs later, what they’d do etc. Which is why I wanted to support this place.

My husband and I were traveling back to IN and decided to try this place, and boy was it good!! Everyone was friendly and the turkey rueben was amazing- perfectly toasted rye bread and the most creamy melts Swiss cheese ever! Keep up the good work

Food was amazing. Perfect lunch with great variety of choices. The onion jam rocked the chicken tenders. Really wish I wasn’t just passing through the area, would be a regular stop for us.

Recently took the family. I’m sorry I didn’t get any pictures, however the food was great as was the service. Even the three year old enjoyed the experience. I love the purpose behind this place!! Thanks for taking such good care of us, Nicole!
