We come to Amish country as it is only an hour away. But we will NOT be returning to Esther's again. Very disappointed with how my family was treated.

We stopped in Esther's because of the sign mentioning sourdough pretzels. We were thinking soft…read morepretzels, but these were bags of the hard sourdough kind for snacking. The woman working, maybe Esther, had several pastries out for sale including apple fritters. She has a sign up that says to please not photograph her. So, I didn't get too many shots in here. I don't believe they had any seating options inside, but a few benches/small tables out front. A couple outside were splitting an apple fritter on the patio and I asked how it was. They said it was "very sweet". So, keep that in mind! Might go well with a black coffee.

Overall it was a joy to try Amish cooking (though I wonder how commercialized it is compared to…read morehomecooking). People come here for the buffet. But we ordered off the menu since we didn't want to stuff ourselves with food. We did order a variety of items - it all tasted good, but not a stand out. I liked that the food was fresh compared to the buffet (though they did refresh the buffet often). Some of the dishes were so fascinating like noodles over mashed potatoes. Fried chicken was okay. We were excited for the pies but it wasn't warm. Staff was super friendly! And they do take credit cards. There is a separate area for the bakery where you can order without a wait. Large parking lot too!

During our trip through Ohio's Amish Country, we stopped by Yoder's Greenhouse in Apple Creek, and…read moreit was one of those places that instantly puts you in a good mood. The greenhouse is beautifully laid out with an incredible selection of flowers, hanging baskets, annuals, perennials, herbs, vegetables, shrubs, and so much more. Everywhere you look there's another burst of color, and it's obvious they take great pride in caring for their plants. Everything looked healthy, vibrant, and ready to thrive once you got it home. What I really appreciated was how peaceful the greenhouse felt. There was no pressure to hurry, so we were able to take our time walking through the aisles, admiring all the different varieties, and picking out our favorites. The staff was friendly and welcoming, answering questions without ever making us feel rushed. It's the kind of customer service you hope to find at a family-owned business. Whether you're looking to add some color to your flower beds, spruce up your porch with beautiful hanging baskets, or simply enjoy browsing one of the nicest greenhouses in Amish Country, Yoder's Greenhouse is absolutely worth the visit. We'll definitely be making another stop the next time we're in the area. If you're taking a day trip through Amish Country, be sure to add Yoder's Greenhouse to your list--you won't be disappointed!

Lines were wrapped throughout the large market and I found myself weaving between carts and lines everywhere. There were several displays that I couldn't reach, but what I did get to was tempting! I browsed the extensive cheese and meat selections, all of the candy, and some of the baked goods in the center. I left with cheese curds, meat sticks, and a plastic clamshell of root beer barrels. I thought the prices were fair for the quality of the products. The store was massive and laid out in an organized way. They even had a seating area upstairs that I would love to come back and check out.

They run out of pies throughout the day because they're not serving old pie here, but they're good and lots to choose from. Service = Very friendly. Sometimes a guy has questions, like "Why is there a log of cheese with my soup?" (even though it's awesome). But they answer in a friendly way. Restaurant = This place is busy, you will likely wait. Lots of seats, because apparently I'm not the only one that plans on going back after visiting. Clean and quick.

Amish Country at its best!…read more This is a gem of a restaurant. We found this place thanks to the great reviews on Yelp. We were not familiar with Baltic, Ohio, yet we were so happy we found this place. The staff was so friendly and welcoming, it felt like we were eating in someone's home. Christian, the manager, could have not done anything more to accommodate us. He really went out of his way to enhance our experience. Our waitress, Arlene, had told us she had been there for several years and you could really tell this by her ability to help us through the menu. She wanted to make sure we were completely satisfied. The menu was one like I had never seen before. Everything from a large breakfast selection to Wagyu and Prime steaks. I had the best Ruben sandwich I had ever eaten ( that is saying a lot). We also shared the Wagyu filet with hand cut fries and sweet potato fries. The steak was sautéed with fresh mushrooms and onions. The steak was seasoned to absolute perfection. You have to try this. I have posted pictures of the menu. Don't forget a side order of homemade mac & cheese. Their prices are extremely reasonable considering the quality of the food and the impeccable service. The decor is perfect. Simple yet very pretty. They even have a nice area (living room style) that we hung out in until our table was ready. This Amish restaurant is the "best of the best". I will be back in this area next year and will be sure to make this my go to restaurant. Bravo to the staff and chef, well done.

Pork chop was cooked alright, but definitely needed a sauce to add some flavor as it was bland. Coconut mango rice was sad (my wife is filipino so she knows a bit about rice, mangoes, and coconut). I had the reuben and it was alright. I don't understand why all the steaks and fish are "market price" on the menu. This is not a fancier restaurant that serves wagyu, why can you not figure out how to price half of your meats? Service = Good with no problems. Restaurant = Stylish, Spacious, and Clean.

Even though I didn't end up buying anything this time, they were still kind and personable. It was busy for a Friday, with full parking lots at each venue on the complex and several large group tour busses.

I did add some condiments from the condiment bar since the sandwich was served with just the meat and cheese. Everyone else enjoyed their sandwiches and burgers. They really liked the crispy fries.

They don't answer the phone even though there's no customers inside to justify ignoring the phone by saying they're busy. The same girl every time was completely rude and gave zero information as to when they would actually have donuts in. You're the only non Amish bakery open on a Sunday as well... do better.
