It's like walking into a farmhouse-inspired shoppe with many local treats including their famous creamy icecream, a delightful seating section of rocking chairs by the fireplace, a full cafe, and a farm-inspired playplace for the kiddos! It's a great spot for friends, community and the entire family! I had the rotisserie chicken noodle soup, and while the thicker consistency is true to the area, I'm used to and prefer a thinner consistency with diced chicken. I've been here on multiple occasions and the service overall is good. On this particular day that I went, the young lady at the counter was very pleasant, sweet and helpful.

Apart from the really nice location I feel like this place could really work on the seasoning of their soup specifically. It reminds me of cafeteria food which isn't all that bad but just an average place to eat at. The servers here are all very nice and make you feel at home.

It'd be awesome if it didn't come with dried coconut flakes. Personally, I'm not a fan of other textures in my ice cream. Being mildly allergic to tree nuts also bars me from certain options as well. My overall favorite (not pictured) is the coffee though. Overall, the ice cream we bought was super smooth and not too sweet. Had these pints in the freezer at home for a week, and they remained consistently smooth -- no chunks of ice crystals that form and make scooping difficult. We also bought the apple cider and the pressed citrus juice. All very crisp and fresh, and never from concentrate. They also bottle their own root beer! Can't wait to visit again next summer.

Our server was very nice. I'd eat here again.

Never, ever going to order anything like this again in Lancaster county! Worst $18 spent in quite awhile, I must say!

We stopped at Dutch Haven after lunch across the parking lot, drawn in by the windmill, which…read morestands like a beacon for travelers aong Route 30 and the mildly curious. It is the sort of landmark that promises something memorable, or at least something sweet. Inside, the place leans heavily into its role as a stop-off for visitors. Shelves are filled with faux-Amish goods, hex signs, and a cheerful assortment of bric-a-brac, along with shirts that seem very proud of nearby towns with names that invite, shall we say a certain kind of humor. It feels less like a bakery and more like a general store that wandered into a theme. The people working there are genuinely kind, and generous with samples, which is always a wise and welcome strategy. We tried a bit of the shoo fly pie, and in the past we've tried some cookies, root beer, and ice cream. They were all perfectly fine. Pleasant, even. But they did not distinguish themselves from the many other places in Lancaster County offering the same treats with equal or better competence. Nothing here is bad. In fact, it is all quite enjoyable in the moment. But it is not something I would go out of my way for again. Far less so when the tourist busses are around. It is a place you stop at because you are already there, because the windmill caught your eye, because someone offers you a sample and you say yes. Three stars, for doing what it does well enough, in a place where "well enough" is abundant.

I haven't experienced that at other tourist traps, it's kind of odd. I'd say this is worth checking out at least once if you're in the area, but unless you want cheesy stuff it's a pass. Also I didn't really see any shoofly pies for sale (I might have missed them though).

I spent this past weekend staying in Room 704 at The Inn at Kitchen Kettle village. This room is…read morean accessible room even though it's on the second floor. There is an elevator to get upstairs. The bathroom worked fine for me. I have mobility issues and walk with a cane. There are bars in the bathtub, but none around the toilet. There is a bath seat. The shower is amazing actually and the hot water plentiful. One thing to be aware of is that the elevator is small and a bit old. It has gates and all. It only holds two people, so a large wheelchair or heavy mobility scooter might not fit. The room itself is really comfortable and I was happy that the beds are not super high. Breakfast is provided in the Harvest Cafe. There are 4 or 5 choices. If you stay over on a Saturday night you get a shopping coupon to use in the Village since for Sunday since the Village is closed on Sunday. The customer service at The Inn (and the Village too) is amazing. Everyone we met went above and beyond to be helpful. Since the Village is closed in the evening and on Sunday, you can be sure that it will be quiet. I'll be back there for sure!

There is usually a young lady there that is really enjoyable and sweet. Today there was a guy at the register that was being difficult with my request. I usually get the $12 mixed (3 flavors). He was so dramatic and the butter popcorn was horrible. I didn't eat it until I was on the highway. The buttered popcorn was extremely soft and flavorless as if it was stale. The other 2 flavors were okay. There were 2 employees standing behind him who thought his back and forth was hilarious. But with the poor quality and poor customer service, I will never come Back. Horrible, Horrible,Horrible. Very uninviting.

When I was a kid there was famous tourist stop on the way to Tahoe from the Bay Area called the Nut…read moreTree. It was basically a restaurant with a huge gift shop, a toy store and restaurant that was so popular you'd have to wait an hour to get in. As a kid I loved it and I've develped a fondness for these touristy restaurants. Not tourist traps because those are usually overpriced and not good. Millers Falls into that category for me. It's a gigantic restaurant with several adjacent stores and lots of branded items. But the attraction of course is the smorgasbord. Yes, that's essentially a buffet if you're reading this from one of my home towns on the west coast or Southwest. The place is huge and you'd think it might be slow to get or confusing but it's extremely well run. There are multiple stations such as Salads, Local Favorites, Appetizers and the ubiquitous carving station. I'd say stay away from the carving station; the roast beef was dried and a little tough. But everything else was great and very fresh. Some highlights included brown butter noodles, chicken pot pie (sortof a dumpling) Cabbage bake and ham balls. All the regional PA specialties are really delicious. The pickled eggs, pickled beats and spicy gardinera were yummy too. A gooey oatmeal pie was a delightful and delicious desert, but there were dozens of deserts to choose from as well. The wait staff were friendly and super efficient. If you're visiting the Lancaster area it's well worth the visit.

The service was excellent except for one thing that ultimately annoyed the heck out of me. Having…read morenever attended one of these buffets, I wasn't aware of all the idiosyncrasies connected with participation. When we sat down we were immediately approached by a very pleasant smiling server. Her first question was whether or not we had ever frequented Miller's before? We said that this was our first time. Question #2 -What can I get you to drink? She then rattled off all kinds of soft drinks. We asked for a raspberry tea and an unsweetened tea. She kept our glasses full throughout our lunch. I was surprised to see a charge of $3.99 per drink added to our bill. Now I don't consider myself cheap. BUT, please say "would you care to order some beverages? Since this is your first time drinks are not included" The food was possibly a step above a college cafeteria. When i asked one of the food attendants "where's the beef"? he replied only on weekends. If you like pork and ham you're in good hands- they had what looked like a compressed turkey breast as well. The potato soup was very good and the fried chicken acceptable. So i was looking forward to the desserts. I love cherry pie so i took a piece and a piece of yellow cake with chocolate frosting.. You have to understand they cut 10-12 pieces out of a pie, small servings. After one bite of each as i pushed them both aside my wife had a stunned look. Knowing they are my favorites she was shocked i wasn't eating them. They were absolutely not worth the calories. BTW the coffee was lukewarm and the cup size was 4oz. at best. I'm glad i got the Amish Country buffet out of my system and hope I saved you a trip and the $80+ we paid with the tip.
