“Amish food served family style - go on by!”

We thought it would be fun to try an Amish restaurant while in the area and the information at the visitors center lead us to chose this one. Bad choice. It wasn't cheap $18.00 each as I recall. We were lead into a large hall filled with long tables that seated about 10 each. Plastic red checkered tablecloths. We were joined by another couple and 2 women and they started serving food. We were given "homemade" bread that wasn't special at all. It reminded me of store brand "dollar a loaf variety". They had applesauce that was like canned, the cottage cheese was good. There was a dish of pickled vegetables, which I didn't try. They served a cabbage dish called pepper slaw, which they said was like cole slaw without the mayo. It was "okay" but nothing to write home about. The fried chicken was like you get at the grocery store deli. The roast beef was not tasty. The "real" mashed potatoes were very smooth(no chucks), and had too much liquid added. The corn was like canned. There were four desserts. Peach pie, Shoo-fly pie. ice cream and a pudding that probably would have tasted better to me if she hadn't told us it was made of soda crackers and coconut. It was fun visiting with the people at the table, but the food was way below average. On our drive back to Philadelphia I got "the trots" and we had to make a hasty exit from the freeway and find a restroom. I felt sick all the next day! We have eaten at Amish restaurants in Ohio and had really good food. This was NOT comparable.

“Poor food for $18 per person”

We recently visited Lancaster PA and, while visiting the outlets, decided to get some dinner. We saw a sign for Good N Plenty so decided to check it out. We walked into a nicely furnished Amish-style building and paid $18 per person for our meal tickets. We were directed to the Dutch room and were seated at a twelve person table. I'm familiar with family-style dining and, while it's not my favorite, I was looking forward to some good food.

The experience turned south from here. The butter, apple butter and cottage cheese were accessible via cheap plastic spoons. The played a few pieces of white and wheat bread fresh from a bag of bread from a local grocery store. The table was already stocked with applesauce and coleslaw. We had the unfortunate experience of seeing the employees churning together the coleslaw in a gross-looking bucket and carrying said bucket through the restaurant. Needless to say, we didn't have any.

Dinner consisted of roast beef, "ham loaf", buttered noodles, corn, peas, and mashed potatoes (tasted like store bought). The ham loaf tasted poorly and was not well received by any of the people at the table (8 of them were not with my party). The roast beef had a consistent look to it and looked heavly processed.

Desert consisted of cherry jello (JELLO!), shoefly pie, apple crump pie and a scoop of ice cream.

Overall, the meal was incredibly dissappointing but made worse by the fact that we paid $18 per head. I would highly recommend avoiding this restaurant and saving your money for a better local establishment.

“Best fried chicken ever!”

This place is great-all you can eat comfort food. Had never eaten Amish-style food before, but I had high expectations because I heard they were great cooks. This place lived up to the hype. The best fried chicken I've ever had (and I'm from the South!)-crispy and perfectly seasoned. Creamy whipped potatoes, corn, green beans, buttered noodles, ham, and meatloaf. And the best pumpkin pie I ever ate-tasted like Autumn in a mouthful. Need i say more? Just go!
