There isn't adequate signage to tell you where to go. Do I go into the bar? Downstairs? Or back outside and around back. This makes things a bit unwelcoming. However, the bar staff acted excited to see us to directed us to self seat. Our waitress was nice. She was friendly and hustled. She didn't know her menu very well and was confused at several of the menu items. She was engaging and did her best to make us feel comfortable. We started with the Ricotta Bites. The breading was very crisp and over fried. It was almost impossible to cut the small ball in half. The filling was very creamy and had a mild ricotta taste. Not much flavor beyond that. The marinara sauce really had to provide any spicy flavor. My wife really liked her flatbread. I had the Cod Bites and tots. The cod bites were also over fried and difficult to cut. The cod was fresh and tasty. It flaked apart once you broke through the crust. The tarter sauce wasn't very distinctive. It was mayo based with relish and some mild spices. The tarter sauce was just kind of there...it didn't do much for the fish. The tots were also over fried, very crispy and oily tasting. I ordered a side of Cole slaw because I love salads. The Cole slaw is mayo based. While the slaw was fresh and crispy. The mayo dominated the taste. The pepper was a good accent but couldn't do anything with the over powering mayo taste. I personally wouldn't recommend it. The Smoke on the Water cocktail was outstanding! The drink had a very strong Smokey taste. The tall pink drink is very attractive...especially with two raspberries on a stick. The beverage was refreshing and a bit spicy to taste. Overall..a very innovative drink!!

Every single staff member from the hostess to the servers were so super sweet, friendly, and accommodating. We came during their 50th anniversary so they were a little busy but the wait was pretty short. Their buffet was so good. They had so much to choose from. A salad bar, different meat that was absolutely delicious, just a bunch of comfort food all in one place. How can you beat all you can eat comfort food?! The staff were on top of changing out all of the food when the trays were empty too. The servers even wear clothes from the time period and the restaurant itself is exactly like a barn which gives a great, beautiful rustic feel. Be sure to check out the little gift shop too!

Sauder's Village Barn Restaurant…read more We've delighted in several visits to this property. Friday night Buffet was packed. We have greatly enjoyed National Conferences in US from Boston to San Francisco, and it is a joy to attend the Sons of American Revolution Conference at Sauder's Village in Archbold. Always something about hotel lobbies, fireplaces, and good friends that is satisfying. The Friday night buffet is BBQ, and following a week of Great Smokies's dining, we were eager to enjoy "German style" meals. Brisket was better than southern; pulled pork had no flavor; ribs were burned; great salad bar; very few veggies. Locals love this place and we recommend. Neat and different ambience. Servers are first rate. Large parking lot. Older couples are attracted to buffets.
