Despite my reluctance, I returned to the Farmstead for a lunch. It was conveniently located so I thought that I would give it one last try. Rather than order the buffet, I decided to go with the hot Turkey sandwich (figuring that the meal would be prepared fresh to order). The sandwich would have been great had there been a reasonable amount of Turkey. The bread is thick and fresh. The gravy and mashed potatoes are excellent. The Turkey is chopped/shredded, not sliced (as I would have expected and prefer). However, there was barely enough Turkey to be included in each bite. A restaurant such as this should not be skimping on meat, especially when the sandwich is priced at $12. This was absolutely my final visit to the Farmstead. read more

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

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.

Here on vacation and stopped in here and OMG it was AMAZING! Everything was perfection. The chicken was my fave, so much flavor and falling off the bone. They even chopped the lettuce for the garden salad which made the experience of a salad even better. And you must try the peanut butter creation on the table. So delicious!! Can't rave abt this place enough! read more

You have to try the dandelion gravy. I know, it sounds strange, but trust me. Even if you don't end up liking it (you will), you can say you've had dandelion gravy. It's only available around the time of the dandelion festival in the spring. So far, we've been lucky enough to try it twice!! Otherwise this location is just like all the other Der Dutchman locations. Yep that's right. This is a Der Dutchman with a different name. All the same great Amish foods and bakery items are available here. I love this kind of food, and I think they have something for everyone. read more

At suggestion of cousin came here for breakfast with the family. They are owned by same family as Der Dutchman so food was amazing. They have a buffet as well as menu items to select from. On a Saturday morning at 9am it was not busy at all which was surprising. They have donuts the size of your head! Server was a tad slow with drinks and orders but she was cheerful and attentive. I think she had a lot of tables. I think if people realized this is an exact replica of Der Dutchmen but under different name it will be busier. Def a place to check out! read more

As you'd expect, everything had great flavor, the chicken especially. The apple pie for desert was perfect, just like home made. They do however need to work on their takeout organization, it was quite a process to get the various components of order and we still came away short some dinner rolls. read more

This is our new favorite spot to stop when visiting Amish Country. The delicious homemade Amish cooking is so yummy. We love getting the family style dinner. You can take the leftovers home if you don't get seconds. It's usually way too much food that you don't need seconds anyways. The service is good and they are always friendly. read more

Hubby & I walked over from our hotel to have an early dinner around 4:45. We were seated immediately & greeted by our friendly server for our drink order. Hubby ordered turkey & noodles over mashed potatoes with a side of green beans while I got the soup & salad bar. I ordered vegetable beef soup which was pretty good. The nice lady at the salad bar makes your salad & it's all farm fresh. She was heavy handed & loaded my salad plate way too much resulting in half of it being thrown out (sadly). I loved the pickled eggs on the bar & ate 2 of them. My hubby liked his dinner (homemade noodles, homemade mashed potatoes, farm fresh green beans - what's not to like?). He got a "to go" box because it was a generous serving that he couldn't finish. The fresh bread brought to our table was delicious & we ended up taking that with us also. We'll definitely return here when in the area. read more

A great family friendly place to have lunch or dinner! There's a salad bar buffet or a salad and hot bar buffet. Salad bar is 11.99 and hot bar is 16.99! I did the salad bar with soup (extra dollar) and was delicious! Veggies were all fresh and plenty of side pastas and desserts. For soup, I got the chicken noodle soup and thought it was delicious! Seating space is generous and kid-friendly :) there is also a space to buy some baked goods! definitely hope to visit again someday! read more

It was very busy but really didn't take too long to get in. The atmosphere was very friendly. We had the sweetest waitress and service was excellent. We chose to order from menu instead of getting the buffet (although it looked great). Our meals and apple pie were delicious and we throughly enjoyed the experience. read more

I'm by no means an Amish country buffet connoisseur or buffet lover in general. Let's just say I was starving upon entering this place. The line was long to get in on a Saturday at 3:00. What I saw was basic comfort food on this buffet. Stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans, corn, noodles, Mac and cheese, sauerkraut, ham, roast beef, a salad bar, very basic and only like 2 desserts. Was is great? No. Was it alright? Yes. Would I desperately long to return there? No. They had some god awful glop that you put on rolls I guess. I was told it was heavenly, so I tried it. No, just no. It was sickening sweet. So I look at the ingredients. First on the list was corn syrup!! It's basically flavored corn syrup. Who does that? Then when we were paying the bill, I saw they had various flavors of this for sale. Lol, no. A keto person's nightmare in a bottle. read more

Came to this place today, based on the reviews. Have to say, we were thoroughly disappointed. Wasn't crowded and buffet was the only option because of staffing, which was totally fine. We would have thought $88.00 for 4 people was reasonable had the food been edible. Both the fried and broasted chicken was extremely dry. Sauerkraut was bland. Stuffing was cold, rest of options were the same. The salad bar was very good, along with the fresh fruit. We've always had really good food on all our trips to Amish country. Always patient with staffing issues and those working the floor did a great job. Sorry to scratch this one off our list. read more

The food was as awesome as it was delicious. The service was great as soon as we got to the restaurant, almost immediately we got served. It was so quiet and peaceful as we ate. Personally I recommend the buffet. If you go there I promise you will have the most delicious and tasty meal. read more

Food was sub par! The cream corn was awful and the sauerkraut was horrible. The fried chicken had little flavor. read more

We brought out-of-state family here, and they accommodated our large group no problem. The hostess was very warm and friendly, despite how busy it was (the line was out the doors). The pre-meal rolls were huge and absolutely delicious, and my Strawberry Poppyseed Salad was THE best I've ever had in my life. Would go back just for that. Our server was very nice and very patient, as almost half of our party was children. Highly recommend this restaurant, small and large parties alike, for a family-friendly atmosphere and food that will leave you with a full stomach and a smile, for sure. Will be back. read more

This was our 2nd time here. We didn't have to wait for a table which was nice especially on a Saturday evening because, last time we were here we waited 45 minutes for a table on a Saturday evening. Our server was Sierra and she was very friendly and kept our drinks refilled. The food was very good! The salad bar was bigger than the place we ate at last night. There were lots of choices for our salads. The chicken and ham tasted good and were juicy not dry. The stuffing was excellent. The rolls were huge and very fresh. The roast beef was just ok. We did not save room for dessert as we were full from the very good dinner we just stuffed ourselves with. If you're in Berlin, make sure to stop for an Amish style cooked meal at Berlin Farmstead. You will not be disappointed. read more

it's kinda hard to review a restaurant for which you have not much to say positive or negative. the good: - service was great. i don't remember our server's name but he did a good job of keeping drinks filled, etc. - the pie. i got the pie sampler but had to take it home a few bites in because i went overboard eating from the buffet. what i ate there was really good and then i finished the pies (Dutch apple, coconut cream and raspberry cream) from home a couple nights later. all were really good (though there wasn't much raspberry in the raspberry cream pie). - the potato salad. i've never had potato salad like this. it was made with hashbrown cut potatoes and looked like shredded cheese. but it was the perfect density w/ no hard or undercooked pieces. i often avoid potato salad because so many chunks are undercooked but not here. i can't stop thinking about it. - the rolls and peanut butter spread. i've had better elsewhere but still, how can you go wrong w/ peanut butter spread? it's basically a fluffernutter in a squeeze bottle. Danielle was disappointed, though, that we didn't get any of the strawberry jam. the meh: - the buffet (overall). i've been to 2 buffets in Amish country and this is officially my second favorite. it wasn't bad, but none of the food was great. mashed potatoes were bland (for mashed potatoes). the pineapple glazed ham was overly salty for my tastes, the bbq meatballs were frozen meatballs in bbq sauce (not bad but the texture wasn't great). the stuffing was dry and didn't taste great. the salads were ok but i love broccoli salad and this was my least favorite anywhere. sausage and sauerkraut were fine. the sausage looked weird but tasted good. even the creamed corn (another favorite of mine) was slightly underwhelming. the bad: - nothing was outright bad. it was, as i described the creamed corn - underwhelming. if i were to come back again, i'd probably order off the menu as opposed to getting the buffet. i live over an hour away, though, so that's not gonna happen anytime soon. but still, i might... read more

The buffet was ok. I would go back just because there better places to eat in Berlin. Service was great! Ambiance was good. Food was not as good as I hoped it would be. Kind of let down to be honest. read more

My wife, sister and brother in law and I all had the buffet there today. We came in at 3pm so we were thinking we're rolling the dice with getting hot and fresh food since we're between normal meal times. Not the case here. We were pleasantly surprised as all of the food was fully stocked, fresh and hot. The salad and fruit bar were also fresh and stocked with many different options, dressings and deserts. We didn't try everything but we had, salad, pasta salad, fruit salad, chicken, ham, potatoes, noodles, green beans, stuffing and dinner rolls and were all delicious. We had coffee after our meals as well and it was very smooth and delicious. Our waitress was Debbie. She is one of those people who enjoys her job as she was friendly, smiling and very accommodating. Our drinks were always full, our plates were cleared quickly and she could not of been more pleasant. It doesn't seem very often you can get good food AND exceptional service at the same place. Thank you Debbie and staff! read more

My husband and I ate dinner there today and we both had the buffet. First, let's talk about the delicious rolls they bring to you, yum! The food was was delicious and the service was exceptional. Ms. Debbie was our waitress & she was very attentive & so nice. My favorite food was the roast beef and mashed potatoes. My husband loved the mashed potatoes & pan fried chicken. We got blackberry & caramel apple pie to eat later. The restaurant was extremely clean as well as around the food buffet. We highly recommend if you are in the area. read more

Good food, quick service, clean enviroment, make sure you are prepared for long lines as it gets busy fast

We stopped in knowing full well this was part of the Der Dutchman chain, but in need of that kind of food. Sweetie had a tooth pulled and needed stuff like mashed potatoes, so this was a simple choice. In general she isn't a big fan of Der Dutchman, and I'd prefer a more local and authentic choice, of which there are several in the area. Oh, well. It's... Der Dutchman. Same decor, same food, same buffet, same service. None of which are awful, but it's just very... bland. She was able to eat, I found some good stuff, and we were recharged for the rest of our day in Amish country. I had, let's see... fried chicken: very good. Chicken and noodles over mashed potatoes: reminds me of Grandmother's, though not as good. Corn: overcooked. Stuffing: pretty good. Salad: fresh, tasty, with lots of interesting salads and desserts. It seemed pretty expensive for what we got. Service was decent, not great. There are better options nearby, but this is a safe choice, I guess. I wanted to stop at the BBQ trailer in Millersburg, but Sweetie probably couldn't have eaten there. The sacrifices we make for those we love... read more

Berlin Farmstead - Food words that don't seem to go together but work well: ham salad, cinnamon pickle, mustard egg. - Bakeries Near Me - Berlin, Ohio

Food very blah and limited for a "buffet" but very expensive. Trade more on location than food. Pass this one

I don't know who would rate this low because it is very consistently excellent even though there is a little bit of a production environment feel to it. They handle large crowds and have "all you can eat" specials regularly, so the impersonal aspect of eating here is by necessity. What matters most, the food, is always great. We like the fish and get cod and salmon, which are about five dollar cheaper than anywhere else in town. The salad bar can be substituted for one of the two side dishes, that you get to choose with your entree, for only another $1.79 extra, which is highly recommended. The food is as fresh and wholesome as it gets and the baked sweet potato is absolutely excellent with the special sauce that comes with it. Try it! read more

Sooo silly me didnt get any pictures. So amish country is by far a must when visiting and we went here and waited in line that was out the door with a party of like 15 for 20 plus minutes. They have a to die for menu or offer buffet. The food is simple....delicious...made from scratch with love. The noodles are plain and simple but delicious and loved the fried chicken. Two of our party ordered the chicken salad sandwich and pie! The pies alone are worth going for. It is definately a cafeteria style feel in this gigantic building that was full! Our server was delightful and managed to keep all our glasses filled and when I mean huge place.....I am taking think of a giant barn style building with high ceilings and probably sat what 30p plus people and being able to keep up with tables...just sayin. Cant wait to go back for more of everything including their hand made pies! read more

Food was good, servive was lousy! We all had the Buffett and struggled to get drink refills and plates cleared!

Absolutely amazing . Buffet is top notch, even the grilled cheese from the menu was awesome!!

I'm not sure why anyone would rate this place anything below a 4 star! This place is beyond clean and beautiful inside! They sell freezer jam as well as a ton of fresh goods! The buffet is just OK, the salad bar is phenomenal! Next time I will skip the hot Buffett and stick to menu items and salad, we will be back for sure! read more
