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.

I am a bit confused. When I looked the reviews from J's aren't that great! I'm not sure about those…read moreexperiences but I can say that ours today was radically different! Here's how our trip to J's went! I was traveling through Irvington today on my way home. Decided to swing through J's Fired Up n Smokin' and give it a try. I was crunched for time so I was going to order to go. When I walked in I was met by Joyce and Bill (Owners) and Amy ( a new waitress). They all immediately made you feel at home. I knew I wanted a brisket sandwich and was taking a Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich to my son. They had the meal packed up and ready to go quite fast making the Philly Cheesesteak from scratch. While they were preparing the meal I had a look around the restaurant. It's a small, quaint country restaurant. It's not trying to be some big city restaurant. They're more concerned with giving you great service and superb food than having a fancy ambiance. As for the food I have been working on losing weight. So, I took a fork to the incredibly large portion of brisket on my sandwich. I don't know exactly how much was on there but if it was a huge sandwich. The sauce they use is phenomenal. There's a hint of sweet buried in there somewhere that is simply fabulous. After I finished eating all the incredible brisket I closed the to-go container and set it aside. This lasted for about a minute and I ripped it open and ate every single bit of that giant sandwich bun soaked in that delicious bbq sauce and brisket. Then I picked up my 15 year old son. He said, "What's that?" I told him it was a Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich. He said he wasn't hungry right now but would eat it later. About 100 yards down the road he asked what smells so good? I told him it was his sandwich. It was devoured shortly thereafter and announced that it was the best Philly Cheesesteak he's ever had. Coming from him that is saying something. We'll definitely be back! Superb service, awesome food, clean restaurant and restrooms, and simply, great people. I've eaten in restaurants from New York to LA and Washington state to Florida and those were two of the best sandwiches we have EVER had!

Nope beef is just for sale in a freezer by the door. Asked waitress about the hamburger again thinking it was fresh beef. She said no, just a frozen patty. Decided on the country fried steak, mashed taters and Mac & cheese and hubby had his with fries and green beans. The green beans were wonderful. A little disappointed that it was a pre-ordered country fried steak. The gravy was tasty but the meat just tasted store bought and thin. They would make a killing if they made it fresh. Everything else was ok but certainly not home made. The chocolate cheese cake was amazing.

It was delicious. It does not come with any sauce, but the waitress was happy to grab me thousand island. This was probably one of the best Ruben's I've had. For the side, I went with the German fries. Everything was tasty and I hope to come back again! A lot of the group ordered the fried chicken plate special and it looks delicious. They all enjoyed it as well.

Previously family and I have attended some great German restaurants in the motif of a beer hall…read more This is not that. It is more of an inn. There are lots of items on display almost like a small museum. Don't forget the gift shop. I was thrilled. Obviously popular, the clientele was experienced, but diverse. While I did not hear German discussion, I might have. Next to the restaurant is a building that is their catering. It was as big as the restaurant. Walking in, the sign said to seat yourself. Sometimes that means a delay in a server finding you. Nay, nay. She was prompt, attentive and knowledgeable. She was great. Because I scanned the menu ahead of time, I knew that I wanted the trio of wursts. They were among the best I've had. My server talked me into the potato salad. It was great. Along with the wursts, I ordered a salad and completely enjoyed their house made blue cheese dressing. The beer menu had Spaten Special. Spaten is a rare treat for and this is the first time I have even enjoyed it on tap. When I was leaving, I was able to buy a six pack of harder to find German beers. My adult son loves German beer and did not even recognize one I brought that he loved. Restraining myself, I made only modest purchases in the gift shop. This will not be true next visit. As far as the museum aspect, there are many displays. Down one wall are many car models, train models, liquor decanters and numerous other German items. I sneaked into a closed dining room with great displays of stein and wine history. A few times a year, I head from TN to IN. I will make this a two day stop. Oh, did I mention there is a hotel right next door to keep my safe from driving after enjoying a few great beers on tap?

Got there about 25 minutes before closing and ordered 1/2 dozen glazed. The glaze was already flaky so they were just okay. Pricing is too expensive in my opinion. Size is pretty small and at $1.30 each, not worth it. There's no discount for ordering a whole dozen either, just flat per donut cost. Thought it might even be a little cheaper at the end of the day but I was wrong. The 2 older ladies working there didn't even greet me walking in, just stared at me like I was taking up their time. I'll go to OMG in Etown next time. Much better donut overall there.
