Very family friendly and the deserts were so good that we had to make a trip to their bakery to pick up a couple delicious pies.

Gasthof Amish Village, Montgomery IL. June, 2026. My husband and I were traveling along US-50, and…read morewe reached this buffet-style restaurant for lunch. Having grown up in PA, I'm very familiar with "Pennsylvania Dutch" or Amish and Mennonite cooking. I would characterize this style of cooking as hearty, simple, and high-calorie comfort food. The buffet included three main sections. The first included two soups (chicken noodle and vegetable), salad bar items, prepared salads (such as coleslaws and broccoli salad), and some gelatin molds. The second station was hot items (meats, gravies, vegetables). Finally, there was a dessert station with an assortment of cobblers, cookies, cupcakes, soft serve ice cream, and more. I noticed other patrons with homemade white bread but I somehow missed it on the buffet. Overall, there was a good selection of items available. I most enjoyed the meatloaf, mashed potatoes, broccoli salad, and berry and peach cobblers. The biggest misses were the chicken noodle soup (which didn't seem to contain any chicken pieces, was only lukewarm, and very over-salted) and the chocolate ice cream, which was runny. My husband and I found the food to be generally bland. (Granted, Amish food isn't known to have a spicy profile). In addition, they didn't offer some foods and desserts that I generally associate with Amish cooking -- pickled eggs, Harvard beets, macaroni and cheese, cinnamon apples. shoo fly pie, apple dumplings, fry pies, Whoopie pies, etc. (Admittedly, the traditional Amish foods in the Midwest may differ from those in Pennsylvania). The restaurant had a lot of seating and was clean, and had a cute gift shop that you passed through on the way in and out. Our server was sufficiently attentive. Parking was free and plentiful. The all-you-can-eat lunch buffet was $16.99 per person; drinks not included.

I was headed to Odon for The Locker (IYKYK) and decided to visit Dutchman's for a Saturday…read morebreakfast. Nice place (an Amish shop is in the same building) with easy parking. I went in and sat down. The server was nice and brought my coffee and water, and I decided on the buffet (~$13). The biscuits were heavy and good - the gravy was thicker than I like, but still good. Bacon was big but flimsy (I like a bit crispier) and the sausage links were good. There were scrambled eggs available, and they were real (not watery/powdered), but seemed to have sat in their container for a while. Also, the shredded hash browns were soft - I like crispy potatoes. The buffet also had pancakes, French toast and fruit, but I passed on those. You could tell the restaurant was a local favorite - several people were chatting across tables while I was there. Nice and clean (didn't visit restrooms), and thought the price was good overall. Definitely homemade food!

This is the more authentic Amish restaurant of the two in the area (Stoll's in Loogootee is the…read moreother one). That gives you a very obvious option if you want Amish style food. While this one does offer a buffet option, they don't have enough options to really make that worthwhile. The other place is the buffet place. This is the cafeteria place, but it's not as expensive, and the food is just as good. And you get plenty of it in the meal. I'm a big eater, and I'm always satisfied by the plate lunch. Outside of the building, you can see the farm where a lot of their food is grown. I've been here probably a dozen times, and each time was a treat, with fresh food from their local gardens and farms. Unlike Stoll's, they grow their own foods. Like I said, it's authentic Amish. The cafeteria style tables make for a more pleasant and comfortable atmosphere than Stoll's. Surprisingly, the restrooms here are cleaner than Stoll's, where the restrooms are often out of order. This is a much more pleasant experience at Schwartz's. The servers are very nice and helpful. There is a small area for their Amish store of honey, fresh vegetables, and other delights. Where they excel is their pies. While their competitor uses cheap packet pies, Schwartz's has homemade pies, all fresh. I highly recommend the blueberry cream pie and the peach pie. A nice view of the rural surroundings, even if it is on the highway, but so is the other Amish place. The atmosphere is very nice. There is a lot of good feeling in the air. Sometimes, there are folk style musicians in the adjoining room, if you go for that. This is a customer friendly place, and they care about what they do and about the people they serve.

We were seated promptly - it's a large space, would make you think about a barndominium. Staff was friendly, and attentive. Always a plus. I ordered their bone-in pork chops in a brown sugar marinade, with a loaded bake potato, and my wife had their all day breakfast (2 eggs, bacon, toast, hash brown casserole, and a waffle on the side). The pork chops were grilled to perfection and delicious! The baked potato was very good and very large. The star of the whole meal was their hash brown casserole! Do not sleep on this! It's made with (I think) pepper Jack cheese, and it was amazing! If you are in the area, well worth stopping in to check out. Looks like they have a nice outdoor patio, so I'm sure it would be even better in the summer.

They have a large menu and everything I've ever had here is delicious. They serve breakfast all day and that's always nice considering breakfast is one of my favorite meals of the day. They have a nice sized parking lot. It is a little difficult getting in and out of the entrances with a wheelchair and if they ever remodel that's the first place I would start. The inside has a cozy atmosphere and has several different size tables as well as several booths to sit in. They offer several different specials thruout the day. On my visit today it was pretty packed but it didn't take long at all for our server to bring menus out and get drink orders. Once we decided what we were going to have it didn't take more than 10 minutes to have our food in front of us. Everything was fresh, hot and tasty. At my table we had a BLT, a half order of biscuits and gravy and I had one of the lunch special, a philly cheese steak sandwich and seasoned fries. My fries were crispy and delicious. The sandwich was loaded with meat and had a nice amount of peppers and onions as well as some gooey melted cheese and was on toasted/grilled bread. It was amazing and very filing. I couldn't eat it all so I'll have a nice snack for later today. Overall this place is a really nice spot to get a good meal. The servings are large. I overheard someone at a table next to me telling their server that they only ordered 2 eggs but got 3 on their plate. She told them they always do that, send out one more than what you order. Not too many places out there doing that so that's pretty cool. The reason for taking a star off is really just because of the difficulty I had getting in with my daughters wheelchair. Otherwise it would get a full 5 stars!
