We always stop by when in the area. Decent buffet. Clean. Courteous staff. Super cute baked goods and gift shop. Truck parking. Casual atmosphere. Worth a visit.
Reading bakery labels have led me to question the integrity of Der Dutchman's ingredients, but I have yet to find tastier fried chicken at any restaurant. Seriously--it's crazy good. Other buffet highlights include homemade mashed potatoes and creamy cole slaw. Be sure to ask for the whole wheat rolls--and for a stretcher to be rolled out on after the meal.
This was a cool experience on a Saturday morning. They had a buffet for breakfast which was delicious and it was cool to see how the community of Amish people really patronizes this restaurant. They have a cool gift shop for a few looking for something for somebody, it's pretty highly priced but the stuff is quality.
Amish style food with a 2 island all you can eat buffet. They also have a menu with a large selection of items not on the buffet. The food is good, not spicy, seasoned mainly with salt and pepper. As you walk into the building, there is a really good bakery with breads, pies, huge donuts, and a lot more. They have a gift shop on the second floor with quilts draped over the hand railing.
Excellent salad bar. The buffet features two of my favorites, homemade noodles and broasted chicken. Out of this world pies, but good luck saving room for it unless you're determined to be self-disciplined before you walk in.
Tons of comfort food choices, all very well prepared. Salad and soup bar, extensive buffet, and off the menu options. Best known for broasted chicken. Large open dining areas, with table and booths. Not too much room between tables in some areas, but I believe wheelchairs could be accommodated in most areas of the restaurant. There are fresh baked breads, pies, treats, meats, confections, and gifts available for sale in the lobby. There is a gift shop upstairs with all the items you would expect in an Amish restaurant, including beautiful quilts. This is one of a chain of restaurants and I have been to others as well. All pretty much efficiently run, with good comfort food, good service, reasonable prices, and a bustling, sometimes noisy atmosphere. Very family oriented and a good place for a crowd, though I think it would be a good idea to call ahead and learn their policy on quite large groups. They have banquet rooms, also. Always a good meal here. I've been here many times and I will return.
Clean, attractive building. Restaurant is very popular due to their buffet and wide variety of items on the menu. Great food! Also contains a gift shop and bakery. Employees are friendly and helpful.
Spacious, very clean space. Each staff member who serviced us was courteous, professional and friendly. Food was tasty & The shop has many things to offer at a fair price. I would be delighted to visit again with a little more money in my pocket to spend here. Two thumbs up.
Highly recommended! Very pleasant surroundings with beautiful decor, friendly staff and an amazing gift shop. The menu is generous along with the servings of food. You will find all the comfort options you could ever want. Our food was prepared in a reasonable amount of time and arrived at our table hot. We will be back!
Great place conveniently located right off 71N. Delicious breakfast bar and fun shop in the front. Very warm & inviting.
Very good food, the buffet is always good and fresh. All homemade food and fills you up quickly. Mid range on prices, but affordable for what you get in return.
Always good. Great comfort food. Has a nice gift shop on 2nd floor and bakery on first
Today our experience was not very good. The salad bar was great, as always. The food on the hot bar was not hot and had very little flavor. The bread pudding and sauce on the hot bar was very cold .
We attended a funeral in the area and looked forward to eating lunch here. We had friends eating at another table, when we checked out they mentioned the same concerns.
Thank you!
My wife and I went for Valentine's day. Our first visit. We were expecting "home cooking" but have to say we were disappointed. The atmosphere is wonderful and lends to Amish regalia but we both felt that we were paying for atmosphere more than food. Definitely not worth the $40.00 we paid.
