    This is why we eat local while on vacation. Driving home from a long weekend we stopped at Van's for lunch. The smell was inviting. The food was fresh and comforting. I had the pork tenderloin with mashed potatoes. Pickled beets and cole slaw. My husband had the bacon burger. Both were yummy. The local eating there were also really nice.

    This diner is too cute. We ordered a lot of food to try and smashed all of it. No S&P on eggs or anything but overall solid food. The pancake and french toast was butterhome cooking. Our waitress was amazing, really kind girl.

    Biscuits and gravy

    This place is a really nice place. I ordered the steak and eggs(medium), and the steak was cooked beautifully and delicious. The service was also amazing. Would recommend, Five stars.

    Great little down home country restaurant, I had the country friend steak along with potato casserole, green beans, pickled beats, battered mushrooms, cold slaw, and a home made roll, everything seemed home made and fresh, lots of love and care went in to the preparation down to the gravy and ice tea. Nothing over seasoned or under seasoned it was spot on perfect. A definite stop off when in the area again. Service: polite and 10-10 Price: $$ Atmosphere: great down home,quaint. Food: 10-10 Iv not a complaint in the world out of all we had. Constructive criticism: bathrooms most any place can always be cleaner. And can't ever go wrong with real butter, as Paula dean says lol

    Mushrooms, already ate some. really good for a good price as well.

    We went to Burton's for the first time for my family reunion dinner. We had about 50 people and it…read morewas one of very few places in the area to be able to accommodate all of us. The place is very cute, simple, and kind of out on its own which is nice. Parking is plenty. I booked the place so I went before the time I said we'd be there to make sure everything was in order. When I walked in, everything was set up nicely with menus and ice water. There was plenty of space for everyone to socialize. The staff was patient with everyone getting settled and ordering. They also made sure to put everyone's order in at once so it didn't come out of the kitchen sporadically. Food had mixed reviews from our crew. Those who got the salmon, pork chops, steak, and fish seemed to enjoy their food--especially the salmon. Those who got quesadillas, burgers, sandwiches were less than impressed. My quesadilla has a bag clip fall out of it and the pineapple "salsa" was just pineapple and bell peppers so I was disappointed there. People said the burgers tasted like meat on a bun--no seasoning. Those who got soft drinks didn't get refills and we were disappointed to learn that the bar had closed as it was one of the reasons we chose here. The staff did fairly well for the amount of people we had plus the rest of the restaurant. We managed to get in and out in about 2 hours. I am so-so on choosing to eat here again since some loved it and others were not impressed. For the area, it was pretty good. Definitely had its pros and cons.

We were seated promptly - it's a large space, would make you think about a barndominium. Staff was friendly, and attentive. Always a plus. I ordered their bone-in pork chops in a brown sugar marinade, with a loaded bake potato, and my wife had their all day breakfast (2 eggs, bacon, toast, hash brown casserole, and a waffle on the side). The pork chops were grilled to perfection and delicious! The baked potato was very good and very large. The star of the whole meal was their hash brown casserole! Do not sleep on this! It's made with (I think) pepper Jack cheese, and it was amazing! If you are in the area, well worth stopping in to check out. Looks like they have a nice outdoor patio, so I'm sure it would be even better in the summer.

    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.

    The food is mediocre, not a very large selection and quite often not exactly warm. And with the…read morebuffet, you only get one dessert. They don't really clean the tables between trips to the buffet so you have a table full of dishes to deal with. It is very expensive. My wife and I paid $60 for mediocre food and only allowed one dessert per. Not worth it.

    Gasthof Amish Village, Montgomery IL. June, 2026. My husband and I were traveling along US-50, and…read morewe reached this buffet-style restaurant for lunch. Having grown up in PA, I'm very familiar with "Pennsylvania Dutch" or Amish and Mennonite cooking. I would characterize this style of cooking as hearty, simple, and high-calorie comfort food. The buffet included three main sections. The first included two soups (chicken noodle and vegetable), salad bar items, prepared salads (such as coleslaws and broccoli salad), and some gelatin molds. The second station was hot items (meats, gravies, vegetables). Finally, there was a dessert station with an assortment of cobblers, cookies, cupcakes, soft serve ice cream, and more. I noticed other patrons with homemade white bread but I somehow missed it on the buffet. Overall, there was a good selection of items available. I most enjoyed the meatloaf, mashed potatoes, broccoli salad, and berry and peach cobblers. The biggest misses were the chicken noodle soup (which didn't seem to contain any chicken pieces, was only lukewarm, and very over-salted) and the chocolate ice cream, which was runny. My husband and I found the food to be generally bland. (Granted, Amish food isn't known to have a spicy profile). In addition, they didn't offer some foods and desserts that I generally associate with Amish cooking -- pickled eggs, Harvard beets, macaroni and cheese, cinnamon apples. shoo fly pie, apple dumplings, fry pies, Whoopie pies, etc. (Admittedly, the traditional Amish foods in the Midwest may differ from those in Pennsylvania). The restaurant had a lot of seating and was clean, and had a cute gift shop that you passed through on the way in and out. Our server was sufficiently attentive. Parking was free and plentiful. The all-you-can-eat lunch buffet was $16.99 per person; drinks not included.
