Customer Reviews
$20.99 New year brunch. First meal of 2026! My kind of buffet. Stopped in for the first time bc buffets are my thing now. It was like stepping into a piece of home. The food seemed homemade, the pies homemade, the atmosphere the food, everything definitely gave it a homie feel, the GM made a bad ass, grilled cheese with corned beef and had a great server Jenny, who took very good care of clearing plates and was super sweet. It was a perfect dine in visit however, as we were checking out, the older gentleman at the cash register was not very pleasant and said “Could you please hurry and close out your check so I can close this ticket” which I thought was kind of rude when I was trying to figure out the tip, nonetheless, it was a great visit and will definitely come back.
I just can't believe the negative reviews, though I suppose there could have been times the food was not great. That is not what I experienced -- it was simply fabulous. This is an Amish restaurant. It had actual Amish people eating there. The food on the buffet was fabulous, and perfectly represent how Amish food should be. The fried chicken was absolutely perfect.
The food was questionable, the sliders tasted absolutely awful, the pretzel bites were extremely salty, the tater tots were greasy too. The cheesecake was sticky and the red velvet cake was dry and the frosting has a sour aftertaste. The Mac n cheese was store bought and you could see the box just sitting it the trashcan. The drinks were watered down and the ketchup was sour. The chefs weren’t wearing hair nets and the atmosphere was odd.
Family buffet style and lots of options for everyone. The beets were surprisingly very good. Overall a good place. Great for large parties.
Wonderful atmosphere! Celebrated my mom's 78th bday here! The staff is very delightful. Food is delicious and cooked upon ordering. They have a buffet bar; salad bar; dessert bar
