We had the pleasure of visiting the farm owned by our driver, who was knowledgeable, kind, and welcoming. He spoke loudly and clearly, but if you're sitting in the back of the wagon, it can be a little hard to hear at times. Stopping at his farm was a highlight--he warmly welcomed us to take photos with him and around the property. Overall, this was a five-star experience that everyone should do at least once in their life!

The grazing table was a step above other tables I've seen in the past. Emily included unique items, such as miniature pickled peppers and dried blueberries. The presentation was very nicely done and the food was fresh and delicious. I highly recommend this business.

This was my first trip to Lancaster County, PA. My daughter and I took a buggy ride and wanted to…read morewalk to a spot for lunch. 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!

All the pies we tried were delicious. The stand out: Best Lemon Meringue pie I have EVER had, and I LOVE lemon meringue pie. I made my husband go almost an hour each way (so 2 hours) so I could have this pie as my Easter dessert. He didn't mind, we ate breakfast while we were there, lol. Note: breakfast doesn't include pies, but for less than $5 you get a slice of pie to go that is really 2 slices worth. The only reason I wouldn't get a whole pie, is because I would eat the WHOLE pie. I would love to post a picture of said pie, but I ate it. (I'll try to update with some pics the next time we go!)

I looked at Dienner's and found it, so I decided to go there. Turns out, they call chicken & noodles "chicken pot pie"! The buffet was better than I had expected.

What you'll also find is a nice line up of drinks including wine, beer and cocktails. You won't find that at many of the Lancaster Amish buffet lines! The offers aren't as extensive as some of the other buffets. But it feels a little higher end. It's also pricier. But our family really enjoyed the experience. The spread here was overall very nice. Not a massive spread but still worth it to check out with some gorgeous country views out the window.

This place has been around since 1929 and used to be a Gas Station until turning into a Buffet. It gives a Log Cabin type feel with dark wood, high ceilings and beams. They have something for everyone, so I highly recommend.
