Blue Gate Restaurant & Bakery

Really good buffet with comfort food that sticks to your bones! They also have a great selection of pies. My favorite is the pecan pie. It's so rich and tasty. The fried chicken is great, so flavorful and the chicken skin is crunchy and delicious. I thought the salad bar was very fresh- no brown pieces of lettuce hanging around. The service was friendly too.

Drove down to Yoder's for some meats and cheeses, and before leaving Shipshewana we decided to stop at Blue Gate and get something to eat before hitting the road. This place is huge! When you walk in there is a restaurant, a gift shop, a bakery, and even a banquet hall! Thankfully it was big enough to get us right in on a day that they were very busy. Our waiter was great. He came to our table with a huge smile while he introduced himself and gave us some bread with Amish peanut butter and apple jam. I wasn't sure if I should go with the recommended Amish sampler or the burger. Thankfully I went with the burger and it was amazing! The meat was fresh and was of good quality. It was cooked perfectly. Very juicy and flavorful. Over all it was every well put together burger. 100% recommend!

This was our second visit to the Blue Gate restaurant. We drove one hour and 18 minutes to eat here; it's that good. It's delicious home cooked food with extremely generous portions. When we both ordered the Amish Sampler, our waitress wanted to know if we were sharing the entree. We didnt understand why she asked us that question until our food arrived. There was enough food for three meals! We boxed up 2/3rds of the dinner because we had to save room for a slice of strawberry rhubarb pie. We could have shared that too, but we each got our own slice. Good service, good food and a lovely gift shop and bakery. A wonderful destination for a great meal.

I had their fried chicken for lunch. The breading was tasty and the dark meat pieces were moist. Unfortunately the breast piece was somewhat dry. The mashed potatoes were delicious. My wife had a calm salad and she said it was wonderful she's going to get another meal or two out of the leftovers!

Absolutely fabulous, everything we tried was delicious including the sampler, chicken and noodles, cod, and multiple slices of pie. Even the apple butter on the table was really good with our bread! It was also fairly reasonably priced.
