Who would've thought that this very plain looking restaurant attached to a grocery store would have such savory, delicious comfort food. The inside of this place literally looks like a college dining hall but the food is like something out of a loving grandmother's kitchen. We were in the area to inquire about building something for our home at a nearby business and the business owner recommended we come here for lunch-and we were glad because it's our family's new favorite! We love it so much we came back and ate here a second time. The first time we came I had the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and broccoli. It was probably one of the best meatloafs I've ever had: tender and beefy. My son had the chicken and cheddar quesadilla with waffle fries which he loved. My husband had chicken soup and a lemon blueberry pie that was so good (he shared some with us). The second time we came my son and I hit Philly cheesesteak quesadillas and my husband got a club sandwich. Fast friendly service and the definition of comfort food. Come get some! read more

We stopped in for lunch today and it was very friendly here. No wait, and sat immediately. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. The restaurant was casual and comfortable. We had the chicken pot pie, Turkey platter, and a hamburger. Everything was very good. I thought the turkey was the best. Looking forward to returning sometime soon. read more

Very warm welcoming restaurant with nice market attached. Staff were all extremely friendly and attentive. We had Matt and he was great! Had fried pickles, chicken bacon ranch quesadilla with fresh cut fries, and my brother had a BLT with fresh cut fries. Food was amazing, I dug in so fast I forgot to take pictures. The quesadilla was stacked full of filling and flavor, and I will be dreaming about it for a while. Fries were a little undercooked but with some salt and vinegar were great. Total cost with food and 2 drinks was $34 so not a bad price at all! Hate that I live so far away or I would be coming here a lot more often. read more

Dutch-Way Family Restaurant Hits a Home Run with Breakfast Buffet! We just visited Dutch-Way Family Restaurant in Myerstown with our family and WOW - the breakfast buffet EXCEEDED everyone's expectations! Freshly made eggs to order were perfection. The waffles, pancakes, fresh fruit, and donuts were all delicious and plentiful. Friendly staff kept everything fully stocked and clean. Great value for the price was just the icing on the cake! Our whole family loved it - highly recommend for breakfast with groups or kids! read more

This was awful. The food is basically processed food put on a plastic plate. My husband ordered the meatloaf and the texture was so compacted it seemed like it was from a can. The beets were clearly canned/jarred based on how sweet and uniform they were. The beets were covered in a sweet cherry pie like jelly. The potatoes were decent but they could have been refreshed from the day prior with more cream and butter. Something about them.... I got the roast beef plate. The roast beef was heated on a flattop and covered in gravy that had a ton of corn starch so it had a thick film by the time it made it to the table. The max and cheese was premade and heated in house. The backed potato was cooked . But served with cafeteria style butter. I thought for SURE the rolls would redeem the meal... nope. Store bought rolls that were cold with cafeteria butter. The space is 1990's which matches the food. It was so cold in there we shivered while we waited 25 minutes for the processed food. The server was very kind. She must be used to working with an older crowd since she talked super loud and slow. read more

My family and I got: 1. Hot apple cider - $10 and it was just okay 2. Pomegranate ginger spritz - nonalcoholic and pretty good 3. Poutine - pretty good 4. Homemade sausages on a bed of sauerkraut - weird that it didn't come with bread or potatoes or something 5. Reuben sandwich - pretty good. Meats all house-cured. 6. Dutch onion soup - not very flavorful and just salty. Lots of cheese though mmm 7. Pork schnitzel - pretty good! 9. Liver pâté - my sister really likes it Overall pretty solid restaurant, and it was family-friendly too. Kind waitress. Not like mind-blowing but solid. read more

The breakfast food was one of the best breakfast restaurants I have ever tasted. Everything was cooked to order, all of the food to tasted like your grandmother or mother cooked it. Orange juice tastes homemade not store bought. Overall rating 9 out of possible 10 rating. I highly recommend this restaurant especially for the breakfast menu read more

Dutchway has really good icecream at a far better price then you can get it anywhere. While your there you can have a really nice meal. You can also shop in their market and pick up some groceries. read more

We really liked this place for local Amish-style food. The place is nicely decorated and was well supported by friendly staff to help with everything to seating, dining and checking out. We brought a family of 7 and had no issues getting in for breakfast. Our sever Brittany was just wonderful, explaining "scrapple" to us and helping us through our options. She was prompt, courteous and just all around wonderful to us. We tried just about everything on the breakfast menu it seems, from pancakes (they are dinner plate huge!) to omelettes, breakfast sandwiches (bacon, egg, lettuce and tomato) to several customizable omelettes, breakfast scrambles, and more traditional Farmer's breakfast platers. Some of the highlights: the omelette options are endless, really. You can make it with as few or as many ingredients as you want and it doesn't change the price; this was a huge plus!! The omelets and scrambles are similar with the ingredients mixed in and browned nicely. Many of the specials came with coffee included which was another plus. There were about 4-5 potato options which was great; we liked the potato cakes the best as they were nicely seasoned and included dill; deep fried to perfection. The only thing we didn't care for was the scrapple, but that's probably because we weren't used to it; I'm glad I tried it though. I would definitely come back here! read more

I was at Dutch-Way 6/15/24 at snack bar.I ordered my usual Chicken tender platter,includes 3 pcs.chichen 2 sides& drink.Well today when I opened container it was 2 pcs. Chicken!! and I complained and they said it's because price increase,I was surprised because I was just there Monday and it was 3 pcs. like always. We are a return customer of 22 years! I said this isn't right! She said see Manager, I told him I guess you guys are jumping on Inflation wagon too! You raise price AND cut portions , I said I'm still hungry! He gave me BS excuses and offered me a piece of Chicken or money. They are now just like the all other companies taking advantage of inflation to screw their customers,!! very sad! read more

Came here for a sit down lunch and was greeted with a warm welcome. Food choice was Dutch in nature and things seemed authentic in a way. Pros: Portion read more

Food is delicious, portions are hefty and the staff were all very welcoming and warm.

Dutch-Way has several locations around PA, with weekly ads for their grocery stories, featuring local produce and general grocery items. The hubs and I have been to their restaurant a couple of times for their buffets, and the prices are pretty competitive compared to other smorgasboard/buffets in the area. The only thing is, you are working with limited items for the hot bar, with the dessert and salad bar being pretty consistent. I personally enjoyed their made-to-order cheesesteaks (they offer a variety of styles that can be customized), the ham balls, fried chicken, and their creamed soup. The broccoli salad is creamy and tasty, and they also have a variety of nice baked breads and slices of pie. Staff are always friendly, and they're pretty good in clearing the plates. Once you're done, you just bring your check to the front to pay. Plenty of parking in the private lot. +competitive pricing compared to other smorgasboard/buffets +made-to-order stations +limited selection +plenty of parking in private lot read more

Nice spacious parking. Service was great. Breakfast menu is a bit simple. Casual dinning with very standard cozy food. They no longer serve buffet so just be aware! read more

Dutch-Way Family Restaurant - Gap - Sausage, bacon, scrapple, and egg - Buffets Near Me - Gap, Pennsylvania

Came here for breakfast/brunch buffet for the first time. Per person is around $8. What's Hot - Decent selection. They have an omelette station, where they can also make waffles, pancakes, and crepes. They have French toast, stuffed French toast, baked oatmeal, etc... - Quality. Their ham slices are a decent thickness, which is nice. Not those deli slices of ham. Their omelettes are pretty good and have a decent amount of fillings. - Price. For the amount of food you can eat for the price, it's a pretty good deal. I've heard they also have coupons sometimes. Kids under 3 eat free, which is also helpful if you have little ones. What's Not - No hot sauce on the table. I had to ask if they have any and the waitress told me they only have Tabasco. Not bad, but I'm the person who like spicy foods and you better have spicy sauces. - Quality. Hubby noted that their blueberries for the crepes aren't fresh blueberries. My hubby is particular about his berries. They have cracker stew, which looks like it's saltine crackers in a bunch of butter and brown sugar. Really? What's so special about that? - It doesn't stand out. As good as this place is, it doesn't stand out. If you're into smorgasbords, I recommend Shady Maple. That place has a huge variety/options. Final Answer It's not like this place wows me. Would come back, but may not be my first choice. read more

They used to have a fabulous buffet. All comfort food with a touch of Amish dishes. Fried chicken, real mashed potatoes ( as opposed to powdered) home made. Ham balls and delicious cakes. Unfortunately, since covid they have gone to menu items only. Most item are on their menus but miss tasting a little of everything. Great service, nice family setting. Prices are realistic and won't break the bank A little gem hidden from the tourist. read more

Great small town family restaurant. Everything I have eaten here has been very good, and they have a wonderful soup and salad bar. They are always very friendly and welcoming. My husband and I go here often for dinner. read more

This is our second time here and the food was just as hearty and flavorful and tasty. We had the AYCE salad bar which comes with soup and breads plus soft serve for dessert. Our waitress was polite, friendly, and helpful. This is a family restaurant with a lot of delicious options. Last time we had the breasted chicken with two sides which were filling. We loved their choice of breads especially the zucchini bread but not so crazy about the bread rolls (had a slightly off putting aroma). The soups were hearty and filling and they had at least four choices tonight: chili, beef vegetable, broccoli soup, and clam chowder. We're definitely coming back for their breakfast specials. read more

A solid old fashion diner with high quality service and foods. It's nice to find this place almost by an accident. They do basics right which is not easy to find in these days. read more

This buffet has gone down hill the past few years. My daughter and I went last week and NEVER again. The sausage was dry and sitting out for hours and the variety selection was very limited. read more

Love the salad bar. Always great prices and great service. Great local place to come for any meal

Love this place. Meats are always good and lunch meat is fresh. Like the variety of pre made food in the cold case. Could have better rotisserie chicken tho. Always looks undercooked. The pastries and fresh breads and candies are a bonus. read more

Poor quality. Bacon cooked in a fryer. Used to be a lot better but all down hill after COVID. Food sometimes served cold.

Really good fresh food at very reasonable prices. The salad bar is extremely clean and fresh. This place has great quality food with good prices, especially for a diner type restaurant. Would recommend if you pass by! read more

There's a sitting area with a fireplace, I love it. Food was plentiful, we ordered as opposed to getting the buffet. It's next door to a grocery store with a inside walk way between. Staff was friendly, service good read more

Dutch-Way Family Restaurant - Gap - There's a sitting place with a fire place - Buffets Near Me - Gap, Pennsylvania

We have eaten here 3 times in the past week and have enjoyed each meal The salad bar was a very large selection of veggies, salad fixings and pre-made salads There has been 4 selections of soup each time and the buffet itself has all your Amish regulars plus something special on the flat top, different each night Tonight was a seafood buffet. There shrimp prepared 4 different ways, several seafood salads, crab cakes plus steamed clams and several different types of fish and oh ya all the buffet regulars Crab legs were available for a slight up charge Dollar for dollar one of the best dining options in the Lancaster area read more

Very good food staff is great as well right now the smorgasbord is closed I'm hoping they open that back up soon but still overall great restaurant and supermarket read more

If you are exploring the Lancaster Area or coming back from the shore, this is a must stop food location. Pre-Covid they had an amazing buffet which held home cooked PA Dutch food as well as burgers, stir fry, and chicken fingers for the young and young at heart. Now that things have changed the whole restaurant is off of the menu which is still amazing. On my last visit I had balls, think meatloaf and with ham, topped with a pineapple glaze and it took me back to my grandmother's country dinning room. If you've never tried PA Dutch food, live a little and drop in. You will not be disappointed. read more

The food is great with full portions sizes. I love their breakfast but it ends to early. Breakfast STOPS exactly at 10:30 am everyday. Even on Saturday when most people sleep in a little longer. Why don't they add an additional hour on Saturday? I sure wish they would! read more

I thought the hamballs were great but I am wondering why the place has full electricity, microwaves, electric ovens, lightbulbs etc? I was preparing for a real authentic Amish meal carted in by horse and buggy and eaten with wooden utensils. WTH? read more

Food was excellent! Service was ok but this is definitely Farm Fresh! Scrapple was so good!

Once ate here before shopping in the grocery store which is part of Dutch Way. The food was DISGUSTING to say the LEAST. The service in the grocery section is no better. Another time I ate at the snack bar. Above the tables are ceiling fans that were loaded with accumulated dirt that has been there for YEARS. Reported it the Manager at the time. NEVER corrected. DO YOURSELF A BIG FAVOR , SHOP AND EAT ELSEWHERE ! read more

We've driven past this market and restaurant many times over the years. Today we were just meandering and decided to give it a try. GREAT decision. We ordered from the menu (instead of having the buffet) and enjoyed a delicious lunch and super service. Thanks, Brittany! read more

Today I found myself in the middle of nowhere for work (in a nowhere called Atglen). When I asked someone at the company I was visiting about the local selections for lunch, they said "Well, there's a McDonald's about 9 miles away; otherwise there ain't much out here". I'm totally bummed. Not particularly about the 18 mile lunch drive ahead of me (which was only mildly annoying), but the thought of having to eat that crap is certainly nothing to look forward to. I get out my GPS, and do a food/restaurant query of the area; a Wawa pops up, 4 miles away. "Well, that'll have to do today". So, 4 miles later, my GPS politely says "you have reached your destination" in the usual female voice with an ever-so-slight British accent. Puzzled, I look around the area, and find nothing but farmland, as far as the eye can see. Certainly nothing that resembles a Wawa. So, after briefly yelling at the inanimate electronic fool on my windshield, I notice there's a crest of a hill about another mile down the road...I figure I'll continue on to see what's over the top. A small town! Still, no Wawa (???) but I do find this place, the Dutch-Way Farmer's Restaurant. For a few cents over $8 bucks for the buffet, you won't find a more diverse, delicious lunch anywhere in Southeastern PA. I mean it...it's a darn good, well-made meal. I was stuffed after only two plates, but I couldn't be happier about my GPS being so totally wrong. The service & atmosphere were all very nice, and I will definitely get back to this place when I'm in the area again. (So I'm wondering...maybe my GPS knows more than I think it does). Hmmmm........ read more
