Genuinely, my review is based solely on our waitress. Debbie is phenomenal! Our kiddo ordered a soda and she turned to look at my husband and I to verify it was okay. As an older individual, she was SO attentive to every single table she had in her area. Making sure drinks were refilled, letting us know the wait time for our child's food to come out. She is truly where she needs to be and I hope the company + others see the value in her! Our food was typical Dutchman Hospitality Group food - tasted exactly like the Der Dutchman close to where we live. Not great, but not terrible. Everything was hot and edible. Our kiddo ordered sliders and said they were very good. read more

We came here for the buffet lunch, and were all happy with our meal. The buffet isn't particularly large, which is fine with me, but it was clean and stayed well stocked while we were there. I started with a salad from the salad bar, and was really happy that the lettuces, eggs, broccoli, everything, was chopped into really small pieces. I really like a well chopped salad, even if it's silly. For my hot dishes, I had the broasted chicken, mashed potatoes, noodles, and a couple of bits of other things. The chicken was really moist with nice skin, and I enjoyed the noodles over the potatoes with some gravy. They had a lot of chicken available, and the pieces were really generous. There was at least one beef dish, and I also saw macaroni and cheese, which is not my first choice, but is popular. The restaurant offers a discount on pie with the buffet, but none of us wanted any more food! Overall, a good experience, and everyone was happy when we left. read more

Big line on a Thursday night. Big lobby though! Large staff is very attentive. Everything was great. Sat 7 at a big table. Buffet price was 19.50. Hot food was kept up good. Only the 1 kind of mashed potatoes seemed kinda old. Chicken is awesome. Meatballs were perfect. The bread pudding was surprisingly great & I hate bread pudding but tasted like cinnamon baked French toast. All cold salad items were good & the cake for dessert was fine. Just plain white frosted cake. Server was so nice & place was really clean. So many workers there! read more

The place is super cute and seems clean. It's massive with tons of seating. Our waitress was extremely slow so it took far too long for basic meals there. You can choose buffet or order off the menu. We chose menu. I got a bologna and Swiss sandwich on wheat with a side of noodles. The noodles were full of flavor. The Swiss is local from Guggisberg, which I appreciated. The bologna was thick and had great flavor. And the bread if homemade. So all in all, the quality is superb. I just felt like overall it was lacking. Needed some finesse, maybe some other topping offerings. read more

Food and service were excellent! Everything was very clean and employees were friendly and efficient!

Note! This is a rare review of takeout here! Not the buffet. It was the end of a long, difficult day of driving and I just wanted some comfort food in the privacy of my hotel room. You know the kind of day when you are so exhausted you don't have the emotional capacity to interact with the waitstaff in a restaurant and just want to collapse in a bed and catch up on sleep? Yeah. This place looked good and, honestly, there's not a ton of places around here where you can order ahead online given local customs. My expectations were low, but so far, so good: easy to order. The pickup process was great. They have a side station at the host stand for takeout, so you can skip around the buffet waiting line. Friendly people, order ready on time, quick pickup, tons of parking. I had the Turkey Manhattan, mixed white/dark meat, which is a hot turkey sandwich absolutely drenched in gravy, along with mashed potatoes, also drenched in gravy. Plus I ordered a side of seasoned broccoli to trick myself into thinking it was all healthy. It was exactly what I wanted. Not gourmet, not luxury, but definitely better than I expected from a high-volume buffet restaurant. Everything tasted good, everything above average quality, and just a bit salty. I ate the whole thing immediately and then passed out. It was a wonderful meal. Just wonderful. read more

Great food and great prices. We love the buffet and we had lunch one day here also from the menu. Hot turkey sandwich half was big a Lunch. read more

The food was very delicious. They had a plethora of food on the buffet. The salad bar was about as long as the food buffet. The waitress was Debra and very attentive and kept our drinks refilled. Kept checking on us and removing our dirty plates. The dinning area was large and broken into nice areas. They had quilts framed and hanging from the ceiling plus photos on the walls. They had an area to purchase bake goods. I would recommend this place for your family. read more

We visited Ohio on vacation. Our niece recommended this restaurant and we stopped in for lunch during our travels around the area. Ella was our waitress and couldn't have been nicer or more attentive. The food was excellent and the restaurant was very clean. My nieces had the buffet and really enjoyed is as it gave them choices with their restrictive diet. My husband and I ordered hot sandwiches. It was an excellent meal at a great price. read more

The service wasn't that great and I didn't like the food - mainly the chicken. Skin on the chicken was so fatty, not crispy. Ice tea was way, way too sweet even though we asked for "not too much sugar". Supposed to get rolls with our meal, but didn't get the Rolls. Not going here anymore. read more

Food was Ok. Are waitress was great I give Bonnie 5 stars. I My food was just warm not hot. read more

So, we came to the area - like we do every year - and one place I make sure to stop at is the Berlin Farmstead for breakfasts. SUPER good food that is home made, cheesy, flavorful and a cannot-beat price for the amount of food. The coffee is great, service is friendly - Jon was ours (even if just coffee and dish removal if you do the buffet), and you just cannot go wrong. The only 4 vs 5 was the egg casserole was a bit too greasy/old while we were there. Make it a definite stop! read more

This place has a menu and buffet. My family had to wait in line to get in. The place is clean and organized. The food was good. We were very hungry from hiking an rafting. My family does not eat at buffets becuase they seem gross and germy. This place seemed good. So we got the buffet and filled up and thought "for a normal buffet in Ohio, this place deserves 5 stars." read more

We have been there in the past few weeks. Once for the breakfast buffet and also the dinner buffet. Both times (and in the past) the restaurant is clean, the service is great, and the food is fresh. The servers are always friendly and quick to bring refills and ask how everything is. I don't agree with the negative reviews that some have given. We're pretty picky, and we've never had a bad experience! read more

Donna was very nice and service was great The food was amazing and it came out pretty quick read more

Just a NOT GOOD food experience for this place that claims AMISH COOKING. NO WAY! Expected much more. Disappointed in many ways. We are out of towners who frequent Amish country a couple of times per year and are well versed in amish ways and their food prowess. Not a recommend. read more

We went on a Saturaday their website said you can order from menu. We get there said only could do buffet. It was overpriced and not the best. Looks nice from outside. Call ahead to be sure u can order from the menu on Saturdays! read more

The food was very good and the people are very friendly. The service was great. The only negative remark is that I think the price for the buffet is a little pricey. read more

Some of the most delicious food I've ever had. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Mash potatoes and gravy, ham, chicken pot pie, fried chicken, the dinner rolls, pies, and the peach iced tea. read more

Buffet food=1 Service=2. Very nice but took for.ev.er I'm sorry, but as nice as these people were, the food was horrible. We had to such high hopes, but it was awful. read more

I left the Berlin Farmstead feeling not only unfulfilled, but actually... offended! Their tag line is "Amish Kitchen Cooking." Hmmmm... I did not see a single item on the buffet nor menu that I could not find at Golden Corral. Must less anything resembling Amish cooking or food quality. What's the first sign that this isn't Amish cooking? There's no Amish people eating there! I have been to authentic Amish restaurants in other areas of Ohio, and they're chock full of real Amish eating there. Just look at their glorious family photo proudly posted at the entrance. As Amish as Al Yankovich, that lot is. I find that to be exploitation. Imagine an Italian, Mexican, Chinese, or other ethnic restaurant that's neither run nor patroned by that ethnic group. Oh yeah, even as an overpriced, tourist-trap buffet, it sucked. Golden Corral would have been better, and worth the drive. read more

We met relatives here for breakfast. The buffet had lots of great options & everything was delicious! Very clean with friendly staff!

Food was excellent.. only true complaint was the delay in having biscuits out. Jon our server was very attentive to our needs. So the good outweighs the biscuit issue. Can't wait to go back! read more

Our first time in the area and we ate here for dinner.My wife got the turkey dinner and I did the buffet (hot buffet plus salad bar). Everything we had was terrific. The buffet was $18.99 and worth every penny (chicken, noodles, ham, pork, roast beef, 2 kinds of potatoes, corn, dressing, potato salad, mac and cheese, etc. etc.) We both left stuffed, so we got a couple pieces of pie to take home for later which were also great. Service was friendly and fairly attentive. We intend to return the next time we're in the area. read more

Good place to grab food in Berlin. The salad bar was huge, fresh and a lot of selections . I got the buffet which offered a number of items, roasted chicken, mashed potatoes, vegetables, stuffing, ham and roast beef. Food was fresh and warm but lacked any real flavor. Service was quick and nice and the atmosphere was pleasant and relaxing. We picked up some pies which were great!! read more

Nice home style restaurant with the best chicken, green beans and mashed potatoes I have ever had! Excellent, prompt, friendly service with Jon as our server. And the pies.... Fresh strawberry pie... the best! read more

Food was great! If you leave hungry.... it's your own fault!! Rosa, our server, was friendly, attentive, and brought the things we asked for promptly. She did an awesome and made our experience great. read more

wasn't impressed. Waited in line for about thirty minutes to get a table, figuring trttehis place must be good if so many wanted to eat there! It was a Monday, and I later learned many of the other "Amish" restaurants in the county weren't open on Monday. My friend got the buffet, I ordered the special of the day, Chicken Pot Pie with mashed potatoes. The chicken pot pie tasted no better than Banquet frozen one--in fact, I would say these are purchased based on the looks of the crust. The ,mashed potatoes were gooey, and the gravy had skin on it. My friend said salad bar was delicious, however, the buffet food like the dressing tasted like cardboard. The broasted chicken she said was ok. But the rest? Nothing to write home about. read more

Very nice buffet This isn't our usual go to place, but we decided to try it since we were here for two dinners Service was good The ambiance was nice. It was clean and the food was good read more

it was so good- Fresh food- lots of options sand friendly people. Sandi was our server and she did such a great job too.

Honestly, why not?? You're in Amish country, you need to go to the buffet. At $17.99 I was completely thrilled with this buffet of classic, country style cuisine. Mashed potatoes, corn, two kinds of gravy, fried chicken, meatballs, beef, ham and pineapple, sauerkraut and sausage - the list goes on. Just good stuff-your-face fun with a comfortable and casual interior. When I arrived there was a line into the breezeway, but within 5ish minutes I was seating, and within 6 I was making my first run through the buffet line. If you enjoy American classics, you will like this. Did I mention the graham cracker pudding?? What the heck - so good! read more

Service was excellent. Bonnie was our waitress and she was the best. Meatloaf was delicious. Should always be on the buffet

Taste of the food not so good. Salad bar had good options. Mashed potatoes were tasteless. Chocolate cake tasted like mud. Service was very good! read more

Well, I've tried the buffet twice. The salad bar is magnificent! The pasta items are waaayyy overcooked and say way too long, so it was gummy. Both the beef and the chicken had been cooking so long, there was no moisture left in it. They compensate by serving in a gravy - but the meat was so dry, the gravy couldn't compensate. The big trays of cake had been sitting way too long, and the cake was as dry as their Chicken. On a positive note, the servers were as lovely as they were efficient. read more

Really great food and service from Dorothy would come here again. Food was amazing and filling. The atmosphere was calm and quiet.

Your basic but one of the better amish buffets. Great broasted chicken and salad bar. I love the beets! They also have pot roast, ham, stuffed peppers, noodles, all the sides and what looked like sweet and sour meatballs. Are they an amish delicacy? I have no idea I stick to the chicken. They also give you those yeast rolls everyone loves free with your meal. I have never tried the dessert because I have usually consumed no fewer than 4 kinds of baked good through out the day by the time we eat dinner. The service is always very friendly and on top of it read more
