Okay first of all the people running this…read moreestablishment could teach most servers a thing or two about high quality customer service and we are from Long Island where you have many competitive restaurants with good service! At first we weren't sure what to expect from reading the menu but let me assure you, everything is made with LOVE. Iykyk. We ended up ditching our reservations at some bougie restaurant to come back here a second time during our stay. The ambiance is cozy, clean, & minimalist. The Amish people are in a lane of their own when it comes to quality. They just nail everything across the board. Might I add that our waitress Amanda was the dearest of souls and her Bible verse attached to the receipt imprinted a memory for me and my husband for all of time.

Highly recommended on here, and well worth the drive into heart of Amish country in Lancaster, PA…read more Simple dining room, plenty of seating, clean bathrooms, off to the side banquet area, or for larger groups. The staff were all hardworking, friendly Amish women, where the flare of menu featured traditional Amish. Never eating traditional Amish, my selection were the traditional ham balls, potato salad and regular salad and a piece of shoefly pie to take home. Sadie, all of our server was lighting, efficient , on point and very sweet. Service was quick, a must stop in Amish country

We chose the buffet and were glad we did. While the food was generally good but not great, it has good variety and all for less than $20. Salad options were fresh and the roasted chicken adds clean protein with pretty good taste. I recommend the dinner rolls with the chicken as well. Some traditional Amish dishes were available that I didn't care for but others might. The desserts were my favorite, including the pumpkin cake and the apple crumble. They also offer a soft-serve station and a variety of sweet pies.

After an Amish tour, my group stopped at Dienner's Country Restaurant in Soudersburg, and it was a…read morefantastic dining experience. 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.

Our server was really nice and the food was good, but the entrées are extremely overpriced for what you get. My meal was $25 for chicken, green beans and mashed potatoes. The green beans were good and the chicken wasn't bad, just a little tough in some places. I didn't like the mashed potatoes-the texture was gritty and they had way too much butter. My husband had soup, salad, and 1/2 sandwich for $15. Reasonably priced and he liked everything. They have a nice store in the middle of the restaurant and some hand made items. Staff were very friendly. The lady at the front was so personable and chatted with us for a while when we left. Wouldn't go back, but if don't mind paying a bit more than usual, check it out!

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!

At first glance inside it's a cozy clean dinning area filled with deliciousness. We came in on a Thursday night around 5:30pm? It was quiet with only a small group taking out. We placed our order: 2 chili dogs, brisket, ribs and fries - and then took our seat. The entire time we're sitting, I have never seen a door open and close so many times. They are a local favorite for sure! The service is top notch. It was like being invited to someone's home and then being spoon fed by the nicest mom ever (Rochelle). They brought out our order from behind the counter and served it to us. I was not expecting that at all! The food is so good! The portion is large. Our fries were the size of a pie pan. And it's disgusting how much food we actually finished, because it was that good! My 6 year old basically polished off the brisket herself because she said it was too good... and she's a picky eater! I really like their homemade bbq sauce and homemade Cole slaw. The slaw is more like a tangy fresh salad, which is perfect for my palette because I think it balances the meat and Smokey goodness. Above all, they chose the right person to be their brand ambassador - Rochelle is so charming and attentive. She told us about the business and how much care the owners (1 who is the chef himself) puts into the food and staff. If I lived in the area, I would be a loyal local as well. Amazing across the board.

A big thing when most people go for breakfast is to have more than one cup of coffee. My fellow diner who is handicapped had to get up and take her cup to waitress to get more coffee. It wasn't because they were busy. We were the only 2 people there. She was busy doing other things. This is second time we went there for breakfast and I believe the other waitress was better. We are done trying. Too many places with better hours, prices and staff.
