    Crackers and spread
    Cheryl M.

    We stopped in here for a bite to eat. Cute little restaurant. They give you crackers and a spread to start. The spread was pepper jelly and I think cream cheese. It was really good. We loved it. You can buy the pepper jelly to make at home. I ordered the charcuterie. Meat and cheese, sliced apples, two mini croissants and butter. It was really good and just what I needed. Our server was very nice. I'd eat here again.

    Crab cake Benedict

    Second time here with the KKV fall shopping package. Such a cute little place with super nice staff. Ordered the salted caramel coffee and crab cake Benedict with fries. They are both really good! Had to take back half of the Benedict home though, since it was huge... Highly recommend this place!

    Quiche du jour
    Molly H.

    Adorable and delicious, just what you want in a restaurant in Lancaster! It was very homey and we felt well taken care of by our waitress. The food was so good and satisfying. I got the quiche and the bf got the meatloaf. We both loved our dishes and just wish we had gotten dessert! Definitely recommend if you're in the area and don't forget to wander around the village afterwards.

    Quiche... terrible.
    Christopher C.

    Well, this was the worst food I've ever had in a restaurant. I ordered the quiche and this is how it came out: a greasy microwaved mush plopped atop a paper plate (in the corner of said plate... not even centered). I had two bites and couldn't even eat any more. To serve this kind of food to paying customers is the ultimate display of laziness and disrespect.

    Sweet potato fries

    12/22/2017- We were visiting Kitchen Kettle Village and decided to stop by Kling House for lunch. We were greeted right away and sat in the front room by the grandfather's clock. Our waiter was so friendly and he gave us a few recommendations. To start, we ordered the sweet potato fries with marshmallow dip. For our entrees, we ended up ordering the Kling House Salad and the Quiche of the day (Ham and Cheese) with the chicken dumpling soup. The fries were plenty to share for at least 4 people. They were fresh and the dip was incredible. We asked the waiter to find out from the chef how this was done because we wanted the recipe. SO GOOD!. Our main dishes came out and they were good portions. There are various charming rooms as this was a home once. It is lovely and there are pictures and stories to read all over the house. Overall, delicious food, quaint restaurant/home feel, great service.

    Roast turkey sandwich
    Janelle L.

    Great food and great staff! My fiancé got the meatloaf sandwich which he ate super fast and said it was moist and delicious! I chose the Pat's Picks section where you pay $13.99 and choose from three prechosen soups, drinks, and sandwiches. I got the chicken corn soup, hot tea, and roast turkey sandwich. All of it was so tasty!! The tea came out with about five tea bags to choose from from regular tea to mango and even peppermint tea. Our waiter, Jared, was extremely friendly and kind! Be sure to ask for their specially coffee too. We overheard people near us ask and it was snickerdoodle coffee that my fiancé got to go. He enjoyed it.... Me not so much but I'm also not a coffee drin. The food is so unique and so delicious. I will definitely return on our yearly trio to Lancaster! A year later and still 5 STARS! The Pat's Picks is now $14.99. First, our server, Abby, was such a sweetheart! They bring outside crackers and a spread to start with while you wait for your food. My husband got the meatloaf sandwich again, I got the lunch special of fresh peach and chicken salad, and my step-daughter of course kids chicken nuggets and upgraded ($0.99) to fries instead of the chips it comes with. Food is amazing as always!!!!

    Know for their signature dessert(coconut cream pie), their breakfast or lunch menus are full of Lancaster County recipes which feature Kitchen Kettle Village products... We stopped for a quick bite ...very homely and friendly ... I highly recommend the creme brûlée french toast... it was so..so..so good!... don't say I didn't warn you coz after this you will never be able to go back to the plain and mellow French toast that your use to eating ....soft custard pudding texture with fudge caramel like brioche layered in every bite (like the corners of a fudge brownie) ...not too sweet, scrumptious!! Ask to sit on the porch so you can see the Amish horse buggies ride by.

    The Kling house was such a pleasure to stop in at. Food was great, service was kind and the outdoor atmosphere was wonderful. Even when it began to sprinkle, they were so quick to ask if we wanted to move inside. Recommend the Reuben and the Cobb salad!

    Kling house is a lovely house transformed into a restaurant. It is one of the restaurant situated and uses the ingredients from Kitchen kettle village in Lancaster county. The lunch menu is simple with few selections that made it uncomplicated. We started with Pretzel and mustard as appetizer to share. I chose pork chop for my main entrée. It is a locally sourced center cut pork chop marinated and grilled to perfection, with its own juice and topped with caramelized apples and onions. Served with vegetables and mashed potatoes. It would have been nice to pair it with a glass of Chardonnay. Unfortunately, the Amish do not serve alcoholic drinks. But the meal was scrumptious altogether. The ambiance is calm and homey. The customer service is impeccable. Our waiter is very attentive but not obtrusive. It was indeed a great Amish country lunch experience. All the ingredients are fresh. I will come back and recommend this place to friends and family.

    Peach and chicken salad

    Absolutely amazing food.. I can't wait to come back next year. My fiancé and I do this trip this time every year and we are so happy we came here. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Jared was a great waiter. Updated a year later... Just like I said almost a year ago, couldn't wait to come back, and here we are... Abby is a very attentive and friendly waitress. My daughter ordered chicken fingers and fries, my wife ordered the fresh peach and chicken salad and I ordered the meatloaf sandwich. Yet again the service and food is amazing. And can't wait to come back again with my family.

    Flatbread pizza, blt and chicken salad sandwich.
    Kristie B.

    We really enjoyed everything we ate! To start out the complimentary appetizer of crackers and cream cheese and red pepper jelly was absolutely delicious. Pur waitress even gave us the recipe because we were asking to buy some to take home. My entire family liked their meals....chicken salad sandwich, ultimate grilled cheese, flatbread pizza and BLT. All was very flavorful and a nice change from what we have been eating on our vacation. My only complaint was that it took longer to get our food than we thought it would take. The little room we were sat in was full so maybe that us why. It was neat to actually eat in what was a home at one time. Se really enjoyed reading the story of the restaurant. It was nice to have the manager check on us about our food. On a side note, after I posted the pictures, the manager came back to our table and asked if I just posted pictures on YELP and thanked me. He then gave me two small jars of jam.

While in town, we wandered in wishing we had already grabbed some baked goods earlier in the day. And with a mission to acquire some meat for the grill later in the day. Immediately we were met with a variety of whoopie pies (we got a traditional one and cookie one, both delicious), and most of all the BEST cinnamon roll we have ever feasted on. Not only was it tremendous but it was perfectly gooey, and the buttercream (or at least that's how it tasted) frosting in lieu of traditional icing blew it out of the water. We also grabbed some chicken bacon burgers which we grilled up and really enjoyed. Just wished the patties were initially bigger. We ended up putting 2 and 2 (out of the 4) together to make burgers which would actually survive the grill. In general the selection is everything you'd imagine in Amish country combined into one little place. Prices were excellent, quality was great. Definitely stop in!

Perusing Yelp, I saw Stoltzfus (a local last name that was mentioned by our buggy guide) and it was a deli/restaurant- you had me at meat! You order at a walk up counter, get a buzzer, wait as they make it fresh, get buzzed, and pick your order up. Plenty of clean seating is available. The Philly cheesesteak was awesome! Lots of meat, tender but substantial roll, and hot! I got it sauced - this was new for me. I was thinking cheese sauce, but it was a red sauce. I loved it regardless ( my daughter wasn't as happy - not because it tasted bad, but she wasn't expecting it). We didn't have to wait to order, but once we were eating-the line was easily 25-30 deep. The eating section is called Amos' Place. The meat section is Stoltzfus Meats. A wonderland of fresh, frozen, and refrigerated meats and all the accompanying side dishes! There is also a very good selection of baked goods, spices, and munchies. Oh, the white root beer was good! I will definitely be back!

If you're looking for a hearty meal at a reasonable price, this place is hard to beat. A few highlights from our visit: The buffet is the best value, offering unlimited access to a wide variety of freshly prepared dishes. Both hot and cold buffet options are available, so there's something for everyone. Dessert is included and features options like pie and soft serve ice cream. The food tasted fresh, homemade, and consistently well-stocked. We left incredibly full and satisfied. Other things worth noting: Plenty of parking available in the rear lot. Clean and well-maintained bathrooms. Friendly, attentive service throughout the meal. Despite arriving with a party of five, we were seated in about 10 minutes. Overall, Dienner's delivers exactly what you'd hope for from a Pennsylvania Dutch buffet: fresh comfort food, generous portions, great service, and excellent value. Whether you're visiting the Lancaster area or finishing up an Amish tour, it's a great place to sit down for a filling meal. I'd happily return on a future trip.

When you enter this place its at ground level and immediately you recognize you need to take the stairs up. Once you usher yourself up it opens up to two areas where you wait to be seated.

This place isn't meant to be for large groups, but could possibly accommodate groups of 6. The main bar which also next to the kitchen is an older vintage style bar and whisky's is nothing special but once you sit down and hear the music you settle in nicely.
