★★★★★ 5.0 Scotty Hotty · Dec 2025

Great Amish Restaurant we enjoyed so much even though our dinner show had to be cancelled due to icy sleet and rain storm. We still went early to at least enjoy the food of the buffet which was delicious before the storm hit. Had a great server Juan and he was very kind to us. Service was friendly and all the food fresh. Dessert was equally delicious and we enjoyed. Highly recommend. 5 Stars!!

Came late on a Saturday night and was able to be seated at the bar without a reservation. The bar area was comfortable and our sever was incredibly nice and very on top of things. I ordered the crab cakes with a side of green beans and mashed potatoes. Delicious and comforting food, and at an extremely reasonable price as well. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable as well. Would definitely come back!

The buffet food was great however we had an issue with them trying to seat us near a stairwell exit door ( how odd as we are not trash) that would put my Mother in-law (who flew in from Guatemala to go on vacation with us)in the aisle and in the direct path of anyone walking past to get to their table as well as all entering and exiting the area. I asked the young man who tried to place us there that this was unacceptable but he seemed to have dozens of excuses (none of them good) as to why he couldn't seat us at several empty booth and tables (some table were reserved for show goers but not all). Why am I treated like a second class citizen to the show goers as our money is green too just like there's. After walking back up to station area passing at least close to a dozen tables and boot

The struggle is real when you’re in recovery. Work smarter, not harder BiH. Focus on your strengths. I observed long time customers, like us, ordering from the menu. EXCELLENT IDEA, however, we will not return to take advantage of this option. Management take note: focus on authentic, home made food & excellent service. Period. Cash in the ice cream machine, contract a linen service, & cancel the canned/boxed food order. Trade UP & buy more quality whole food. Call in a motivational speaker. Your organization has been traumatized. Be contemplative, innovative, & unapologetic. Gather all staff @ closing. Invite them to fill their plates at the buffet & sit in the dining room. Whip up the adrenaline @ all-staff ‘meeting’ in the theater focused on moving forward. PERSPECTIVE is

★★★★★ 5.0 Zion Johnson · Dec 2025

I loved this place! I came in a big group and the service was just outstanding! We had the sweetest and most helpful waiter and everyone enjoyed themselves. All of my friends enjoyed their delicious food! But I am gluten free and there were only about 4 gf options in the entire buffet :( so seeing as I am also lactose intolerant I ended up paying over $20 for just a scoop of potatoes. So if you are gf it may not be the place for you. Other then my food reactions everything else was great! And once again such incredible service 😊
