The chicken IS TO DIE FOR!! Me and my friend drive the hour every chance we get to eat here! When it's busy and the line is out the door, the people at the stand who take your name in the upstairs lobby can be a bit rude but the downstairs staff are delightful and the food is amazing ! read more

I've been coming to the Blue Gate Restaurant about once a year for the past 16 years. The food is always amazing, the staff is kind and friendly and the ambience is sweet. I highly recommend the chicken and noodles. . read more

Our family of four had an Indiana-Ohio road trip and I really wanted to stop by an Amish community for some homey lunch. We arrived on a Tuesday at 12:30 pm and there was a 15-minute wait to be seated. After we were seated, we were served with fresh bread, Amish peanut butter, and apple butter. It was very much appreciated because breakfast was several hours ago and we were starving. We proceeded to order and share the fried chicken dinner with fries and the smoked ham platter with mashed potatoes, gravy, and bread. The fried chicken was a bit small, however everything else was plentiful. We were stuffed but we had a room for dessert. We shared the old-fashioned sugar cream pie with vanilla ice cream. It was a glorious way to wrap up the meal! Since we were concluding a road trip, I did not want to have to cook after arriving home. We ordered homestyle meatloaf with potato salad and country roast beef with sweet potato casserole for take-out. The waitstaff planned very accordingly and had the kitchen prepare it so that the take-out will be ready once our meal concluded. Everything held up well on our three hour drive. My one complaint is that the meatloaf was a tad dry and did not come with sauce like a classic one normally does. When you are in an Amish community, it is almost wrong to not pick up baked goods. We also stopped by the bakery and bought peanut butter, sweetheart jam, Dutch apple pie, and banana cream pie. Whole pies are approximately $16.99 each. They were delicious! read more

I love pie. This place is pie heaven. The only downside is that the pie is put on the buffet by the slice, and it's hard not to eat the entire slice because it is so good, which means you get full before you can try all of the pies. There's salad, bread, soup, entrees and sides too - all cooked Amish style. I loved the beef noodles, meatloaf, and broccoli salad. I sampled some other dishes, but had to save room for pie. There were some really delicious puddings too - blueberry with fresh blueberries in it and a warm bread pudding. Delicious! Service was quick and friendly and I think it's a good value for $22. It's best to arrive early and plan for a long walk afterwards (to work off the pie). read more

Place was crowded, lines for buffet and for supper menu ordering room but things moved quickly. Great server, fast service, offered suggestions. Didn't like the higher prices but I guess that's the times. We wanted beef & noodles but that is only on a certain day so chicken 'n noodles it was. We split an order so we could enjoy splitting a lovely butterscotch pie slice off their 20-pie menu. It was fabulous! Only think I didn't enjoy was my friend's side of mac & cheese. (So she got it all.) Ambiance is the same as Cracker Barrel--noisy & bustling but can't beat the great Amish menu and care. read more

The food quality was quite disappointing here. Everything looked so good on the menu and I was so very hungry, I ordered the sampler platter because I couldn't decide. Kudos to the restaurant for having that option , otherwise I would have had to order multiple meals. Besides the fresh bread and butter - which was amazing- nothing tasted good. The fried chicken was soggy, the meatloaf was mostly bread, the beef had no flavor at all it tasted like it's been rinsed in water. The stuffing was basically just mushy bread with seasoning. The green beens were mushy frozen green beans, the baked apple was overly sugary and the flavor was just strange. The food was 2 stars at best. However, the service was 5 star, excellent. Our waitress was exceptionally attentive and generous with the free bread and helping us with the menu items. It's a very large restaurant and there were only a few us us dining there right after the holidays. There is a large interesting gift shop inside the restaurant and an entire bakery. I wish we would have gotten dessert but given that we were not enjoying our meal, we decided against it. read more

I had forgotten I reviewed this place in 2020. Not much has changed in terms of food quality since then. I had the Sampler Platter with Roast Beef, Chicken ( you have to request all white) and Meatloaf. The chicken was served hot and FANTASTIC! The roast beef was tender and the meatloaf didn't seem to mix well. The garden salad was nice, I always enjoy the sweet and sour dressing. The bread was what it always is, bread but soft. Where I begin to lose attraction to Blue Gate was the fake mashed potatoes. I would bet they are not real, I get it the volume they serve real potatoes likely are not fiscally responsible. The gravy I am certain is canned and the stuffing was good but I am also certain not home made. The ice tea was great, I didn't even need sugar! The pies. The bakery is relatively small in comparison with Das Essence Haus (spelling). I had the chocolate cream pie, which was gone by the time I got back into Michigan from IN. I was a bit disappointed the chocolate crinkles were not being produced on this day. I am not sure if this is a permenant change or a seasonal change. I saw the whoopie pies with moisture in the container on the shelves, maybe let them cool a bit longer. I get it want to sell. The pie refriderator was not very stockeed and I knew to ask for specific pies but some people may not know that. I will say another reason for lower stars was the absolute displeasurable older women (Saturday 11/15/25 approx 1430) who was working as a cashier for the menu side. I am not sure why she was so absolutely unpleasent but I hope management sees this discusses her awful attitude. All in all I belive the days of home made authentic amish food may be gone. After my experience today, trying the Essaunce Haus again may be in my future. Sorry Blue Gate. read more

It was my first time here and probably 15 years since my mom was here. The restaurant was beautifully decorated for fall and gave me Stars Hollow vibes. We got in just before the lunch rush. You can choose the lunch buffet located downstairs or to order off their menu which was on the main floor. We went with ordering off the menu. I got the pulled ham special. Everything about it was delicious, the ham, mashed potatoes and cinnamon apples so good. My mom got the chicken salad plate which is definitely a good bang for your buck. After lunch we stopped in the bakery and picked up several tasty items: Amish peanut butter, cinnamon roll, apple bread, fudge, cashew crunch and pumpkin donut. Ample bathrooms located in the lower level. If I find myself back in the area, I'll for sure get a meal here and stock up on some bakery. read more

Amish style restaurant with "comfort food" offerings. My wife had the Wednesday special fried chicken w/ mashed potatoes, gravy, & green beans. She loved it and ordered 2 additional pieces for $1. Came with a loaf of bread for the table. I had the meat loaf and was disappointed as it was very bland and mushy. Not what I'm used to. It came with green beans & mashed potatoes & gravel. Had a slice of coconut cream pie to share and loved it. Overall a positive experience but it's in Amish country so you'll get it Amish style Recommend the place understanding that. read more

A Southern Feast at the Blue Gate Restaurant - Shipshewana, IN Last weekend, I had the pleasure of dining at the Blue Gate Restaurant in charming Shipshewana, Indiana, and let me tell you--it was comfort food heaven. The buffet spread is a riot of home-style goodness, anchored by standout dishes that hit every nostalgic note. Blue Gate Fried Chicken This is their signature--and it lives up to the hype. Pressure-fried to juicy perfection, each piece boasts a satisfyingly crisp crust. A Reddit visitor praised the "Amish fried chicken," calling it one of the menu highlights . And I couldn't agree more--it's exactly what comfort food should taste like. Mashed Potatoes & Homemade Noodles The mashed potatoes were impossibly creamy, topped off with a savory gravy that warmed the soul. The noodles--thick, silky, and rich--were the perfect pairing. Blue Gate advertises its mashed potatoes, chicken dressing, and homemade noodles as staples on their buffet (), and they delivered splendidly. A Plate Full of Good Stuff Beyond chicken and carbs, the buffet offered a full range of homestyle sides--corn, green beans, mac & cheese, and a lively soup and salad bar. The rustic charm of Amish-style cooking is on full display, with dishes that remind you of family gatherings. Pecan Pie (and More!) I saved the best for last: pecan pie. It was buttery, nut-packed, and offered a perfect balance of sweet and toasted flavors. Blue Gate boasts over 20 varieties of pie, with their dessert bar being a highlight of the buffet . Each forkful made me appreciate why their bakery garners so much love. Why the Blue Gate Buffet Works * Hearty, homestyle cooking - Classic Amish recipes with lots of soulful comfort. * Variety galore - From soups and salads to noodles, meats, and pies--you'll find something nostalgic and comforting. * Warm, welcoming ambiance - Casual and cozy, it's the kind of place where you feel at home--staffed by people who clearly care . A Few Tips Before You Go 1. Come early or reserve - Buffets fill up fast, especially before shows at the nearby Performing Arts Center . 2. Save room for dessert - With dozens of pies, every slice is worth it--especially pecan! 3. Consider family-style dining - They also offer a served version of fried chicken, meatloaf, turkey, and more, if you prefer to skip the buffet. Final Thoughts The Blue Gate Restaurant delivered everything I hoped for: crisp fried chicken, creamy mashed potatoes, tender noodles, and a pecan pie that was absolutely divine. Warm, filling, and lovingly made, it's a destination for anyone craving hearty, Amish-style comfort food. I can't wait to go back--and try more pie flavors next time! read more

This review is for the bakery side! When you walk in, it feels like you're in grandma's kitchen...if she was Amish, super sweet, and had all the goodies on deck. Tried the banana cream pie but I wasn't a fan. Recommend getting the lemon cookies, and chocolate candy bags (I think it was $12/lb?) Parking is a breeze. Just across from the Craft Barn. Pro tip: Enter from Van Buren side unless you enjoy wandering through the restaurant or need to use their restroom. Will be back for more desserts and maybe to finally find the one pie! The pecan pie looked promising read more

Had been wanting to compare this traditional Amish, all you can eat buffet to another we had visited. This particular restaurant does offer either the buffet or ability to order off the menu. Located In the heart of Shipshewana, this adorable restaurant and music hall has very friendly staff and is quite popular. Prices were reasonable, includes unlimited beverages, soup, salad, entree items and dessert. Compared to the other location visited, was disappointed with the options of the buffet, not much of a variety as compared to the other and could have been better seasoned and a bit more flavorful, in comparison. Other experience felt as if they took a bit more pride in their Amish cooking. read more

A welcome change from all the fast food joints. The Buffet is extraordinary with many selections to choose from. Be sure and visit the salad bar for fresh and tasty greens. The main draw was the fried chicken on the hot bar. Better than KFC and all the trimmings too. Excellent choice for lunch or dinner and reasonably priced. read more

We were hungry and looking for Amish food and since we were in Shipshewana we found it! The buffet at $24 per person was well worth it! There was a little ne of mains and sides with a great variety of meats and fried chicken, my favorite! Potatoes and beef or chicken gravy and an assortment of cooked Veges. There was also a good salad bar considering we we in the Midwest, as we are from California and know the produce is the Best! But the Amish are a close second! I would definitely like to go back again some day without driving over 2000 miles in an RV! read more

This place is a tourist trap, but for good reason. This huge restaurant spans 3 floors with the basement operating as a buffet option ($8.99 per child and $20+ for adults). I took a look, but was more impressed with the freshness, value and experience on the main floor with menu order options. The restaurant style reminded me of a re-imagined Amish version of Cracker Barrel with handmade oddities for sale. It was surprisingly busy with it being 4:30pm, and slightly annoying to learn the kids could not have the buffet if we were ordering from the menu because there are separate seating arrangements. We chose the restaurant side. Our waitress was bubbly and energetic... extremely thorough while maintaining a friendly neighborly vibe. She commanded the restaurant like it was her vocation and truly seemed pleased to serve her hungry patrons. Once she took our order and brought out our drinks we were delighted with a small homemade loaf of seed bread with real butter, apple butter, or Amish peanut butter (peanuts, honey, and marshmallow fluff mixed together) to top it with. As we enjoyed snacking, the two kids meals, and two adult dinners with soft drinks (they do not serve alcohol) came in around $75 total. The kids meal came with homemade fried (2) drumsticks, fries, drink and a cookie reserved for the end of the meal. Everything is homemade and my picky eater's gobbled it all up! Hubby ordered the fried chicken dinner and was happy enough, but both of us noted that our breast was slightly over cooked by a minute or so (slim margins, but made for a slightly dry and tough tasting breast). He loved his corn accompaniment, noting that it tasted like it was freshly cut from the cob. I opted for the Amish sampler plate and enjoyed the meatloaf, the breading of the fried chicken, the texture of the roast beef (though the seasoning could've improved), and the chicken stuffing with fresh carrots with a slight crunchy texture mixed in. The green bean side was good enough with the bacon, but lacking a crispy texture. The mashed potatoes and beef gravy were just okay. This gargantuan portion also came with a small side salad of leafy greens, a cucumber slice and grape tomato with dressing of your choice. Everything was good... so much food! I felt like I should've toiled on the farm all day to earn such a filling meal. For dessert we bought a homemade strawberry rhubarb pie to take home. Perfectly cooked (no soggy bottom) and wonderful texture and married flavors. The pie was worth it for $18 and if you stop by the visitor center you can get a $1 coupon. Just make sure to bring it in so they can staple it to the receipt for accounting. If we ever come back I may need to try the lemon meringue pie. The peaks were gorgeous and so tall! Pros: good home cooking. Homemade pies. Value prices for what you get. Cons: potential long waits, separate buffet from restaurant and some food lacking seasoning. read more

I love the Blue Gate Theater and I finally tried the buffet-ticket combo. While the theater never disappoints the buffet was a letdown. The meats and desserts were good, especially the cobbler. The side dishes however had no seasoning. We were also made to stand and wait in a long line and as someone who has chronic pain I really could have used a seat. The waitress was nice and prompt with the refills. The place was clean but had no windows and was on a lower level. read more

Welp, I wasn't anticipating to be blown away by an Amish buffet, but here I am, writing about how I was blown away by an Amish buffet. Our party of six was brave and came on a Saturday at 5 PM. Our wait time was about 30 minutes. We spent that time salivating at the bakery and wondering what items would also be available at the buffet (spoiler alert: it's mainly pies). When we received our text that it was time to eat, we headed downstairs and found a clean table quickly. At each end of the room was a hot, savory buffet and in between were the salad bar and a dessert bar. I headed straight to the dessert bar and started with a creamy, dreamy peanut butter pie. YUM. From there, I headed to one of the savory buffets and could hear some grumbling from patrons. Much of the food was gone and hadn't been replaced yet. Sharing in their disappointment, I made do with what was available. My disappointment faded pretty quickly once I started digging in to my meal. Rice pilaf, fried apples, mashed potatoes, cheesy corn, sweet potato casserole...it was all tasty. After my first savory round, I headed to the other hot buffet, which appeared to not only have more food but also other options that weren't at the other buffet. I spooned more tastes onto my plate and headed back to my table. I was very surprised at how everything I ate was really good. There wasn't one "meh" offering! Food quality-wise, Amish buffet FTW. And no, I didn't stop there. I ended my gut-busting meal with a slice of German chocolate pie, a spoonful of Oreo pudding, some vanilla soft serve, and zero regrets. After this experience, Blue Gate gets four stars from me. Had the kitchen been able to keep up with the demand at the buffet, I'd deem it five stars. If I was to repeat this visit, I'd come either during lunch or non-peak hours; I would definitely come at Christmastime with the outdoor decor. It's merry and bright! read more

First time there and truly disappointed in the quality and price of the food. Got a $19 combo plate to sample several items. The meatloaf has a very weird mushy pasty texture and no flavor. Must be made with 1/2 meat(?) and 1/2 crackers. Instant mashed potatoes and canned green beans and corn. The chicken looks crispy on the menu, but it's soggy. Dressing was bland. The bread was good and the server was A+. We'd never go back! read more

I was really excited to try an Amish buffet as I've never been to Amish country before. We put our names down on the list and only had a short wait for a table despite the bustling venue. It seems like this is really a hotspot for entertainment in the area. The food was just okay though. Nothing special. The fried chicken and mashed potatoes were the best items. The pies were good but they were not labeled, which made selecting them an interesting gamble. I would have preferred a banana pie but I ended up with a slice of coconut and chocolate. In hindsight, I wish we would have chosen the restaurant instead of the buffet because we may have had better quality dishes. read more

As usual, when I'm in Shipshewana (or really, any other Amish area), I still crave the chicken & noodles. This time, I decided to go to the dining room rather than the buffet because that was the only thing I wanted. First, the service was excellent. The servers were very friendly. I liked that they gave me a whole loaf of bread & let me take home what was left over. It was nice that they have both apple butter and peanut butter on the table for the bread. I ordered the chicken & noodles as planned, although I was almost swayed by fried chicken. But I decided that I should get what I came for -- especially since I can get fried chicken anywhere. I got a garden salad for my side. It was good, but very small. And I was kind of befuddled by the fact that they find that mashed potatoes and gravy is the appropriate accompaniment to chicken and noodles. There really wasn't much chicken in it; what was there was tiny diced pieces. And it was VERY salty; I almost couldn't eat it. The mashed potatoes were pretty good, though. I don't usually like gravy on them, but this gravy was pretty good. I did bring the leftovers home, as I didn't eat much at the time. I cut up some turkey and put that in with the noodles (along with some fresh parsley), so I hope that that will soak up and redisperse some of the salt. I must remember that next time I come to Shipshewana, I need to find somewhere else to eat. :( read more

4.5 Stars. Best bets: fried chicken and the salad. This may be the best restaurant fried chicken I've ever had! On par with my mother and grandmothers and Great Aunt Vallie, rest their souls. The big surprise was the salad! Sweetest cucumber ever and the lettuce was delicious! My guess: they fertilize the produce with the horse manure from contented Amish horses. read more

Very busy restaurant. Service was prompt and friendly. Good came out reasonably fast. I had fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, salad. The fresh bread with their peanut butter spread was really good. The mashed potatoes were bland and seemed like they used water rather than milk to smooth out. Other than that food was good. Since it is a very busy place it is noisy, but to be expected. I also shopped the bakery to bring a few items home. I kept my will power in tact and did not buy a tray of cinnamon rolls - they looked delicious. read more

Came here for a pie after hearing good things! The bakery was nice and had an assortment of breads and baked goods. I ended up getting the strawberry rhubarb pie to take home! For $18 it was a good deal I thought, turns out it was super limited in filling and mostly brown sugar mush and topping. The crust was dry and crumbly and overall flavor lackluster. The service was fast and friendly but I will be getting my pie from the frozen section at the grocery store next time. read more

We were visiting from California, as my boyfriend had never been to Amish country. We ordered from the menu, instead of getting the buffet. So glad we did! The chicken dinner with sides was fantastic! Some of the best chicken we've ever had! I ordered a side of onion rings - they were the greatest! I said "Now, this is how you do onion rings." The onion rings in the Midwest are the best! We don't have good onion rings in California. The service was excellent, and I'm glad they have kept the original design in the dining room! We went to the Blue Gate bakery next door after our meal, and I got a big chunk of German Chocolate fudge - best fudge I ever had!! If we lived in that area, we would come back at least once a year! read more

It has been over nine years since my review of Blue Gate Restaurant & Bakery, an Amish-themed restaurant/bakery/theater complex located in the small LaGrange County town of Shipshewana. The establishment is owned by the Riegsecker family along with Blue Gate Theater, Blue Gate Garden Inn, Shipshewana Furniture Company, and Riegsecker Cabinet Company. The entire complex is known as Riegsecker Marketplace and all the businesses fall under the Blue Gate Hospitality Company umbrella. I said it previously and it's still true. There are times that Blue Gate reminds me of a cross between the somewhat nearby Das Essenhaus (same county, different city) and a Cracker Barrel. There's a bit of a kitschy feeling here that is so earnest it makes me smile. The most popular option for dining tends to be the family style buffet. For the most part, Blue Gate emphasizes traditional Amish/family fare. However, you can also get more mainstream fare. It's all quite delicious and for the most part prepared with local ingredients. Blue Gate has a variety of dietary options including sugar free, gluten free, MSG free, vegetarian, wheat free, and dairy free. They have an awesome dessert menu, a kid's menu, and much more. The prices for a buffet range are surprisingly affordable with a bit of an elevation on Fridays and Saturdays. I didn't see any indication of a regular show like was there at my first review (Josiah for President was awesome), though it is worth noting that the Blue Gate Theatre has grown massively and now hosts a lot of national acts mostly in the country and/or faith-based areas. The bakery is also in the restaurant. They can handle events/groups (this place is huge) and carry-out is also available. The fried chicken continues to be great along with the pot roast. This time around, I tried meatloaf. It was amazing. The desserts are phenomenal including my always desired chocolate pie. Oh yeah, they have a lot of vegetables. Not that I care. There's still a lot of hyper-organization here. And, of course, there are aspects of operation that will be surprising for an Amish-themed restaurant. That said, it's a nice weaving together of traditional with contemporary touches. As has always been true for me here, I appreciated all the employees. They're friendly, helpful, and seem to have a good instinct for helping. As a wheelchair user, I had no real issues getting around even when it was crowded. The current owners bought this restaurant in the 1980's when it was known as Der Strudel Haus. If you go to Shipshewana, stopping at Blue Gate is kind of a no-brainer. It's hard to imagine you won't end up at one of the Riegsecker's businesses here and they're all really a delight. read more

Just finished a day at Blue Gate buffet. Food was great, but unfortunately, no banana cream pies were available for dessert so I got a Dutch apple pie. I hate to say it, but the pie was too sweet for my taste. Whoever made it, must like a ton of sugar. Went to the bakery to buy a banana cream pies, which I wanted to try. Purchased a whole pie and just finished a slice. Hate to say it again, but whoever makes their pies, must like adding a ton of sugar to their pies. The crust was fluffy, and the bananas tasted fine, but the cream filling was just too sweet for my taste. read more

We had the buffet and it was amazing. The food was delicious, varied, and plentiful. I especially enjoyed the sauerkraut with sausage, and my wife loved the meatloaf. The server was friendly and attentive. The pricing was fair, especially since children 11 years old and under are only $8.99, and my 11 year old can eat as much as many adults .

Service was great. Ambiance is old school which is what you should expect in this town but is in need of updating. Food quality wasn't great. I expected more variety from a restaurant that only does buffet and the food was not great. read more

The highlights of the buffet were (1) the service was great and our server was very attentive, (2) the desserts were very good including the peanut butter pie and Amish dirt pudding, and (3) the fresh bread and butter was yummy. However, we will not be going back. The ceiling dripped on my mother-in-law multiple times before we were moved to a different table. The food lacks seasoning in general. The organization of the tables and building needs some revamping. A family outside the restaurant had been waiting for 3 hours to eat here - not worth the wait. I'm glad we tried Blue Gate, but there has to be somewhere better to eat in Shipshewana! read more

I tried this restaurant for the first time today. I was very disappointed! I had heard the Blue Gate was very good. I had gotten the buffet and didn't eat half the food that looked good. The mashed potatoes had no tastes, the roast beef was dry, the green beans were bland and needed cooked longer, the lettuce from the salad bar looked old. Tried the coconut cream pie and Marie Calendars frozen coconut cream is so much better. For the price I wouldn't waste your money. read more
