I have to agree with the masses, 5 stars. It's worth the trip outside of the main Amish areas to experience this place. It's not the typical eatery in the norm. Very posh with a great menu. High end overpriced steaks and also cheap eats. It's all good. Their fried chicken is A+. I am a Fried Chicken Con-O-Sewer, I know my crispy bird parts. Is this place Amish? Maybe. Great either way. This place would fit right in areas like Dublin & the nicer parts of Columbus. I am not one to go for desserts. East Main Kitchen is different. Their selection is displayed in a case and it all tastes as good as it looks. On a diet? Lick the case glass, it tastes like Schnozberries. read more

Pleasant surprise: upscale cafe in a small town with GREAT comfort food, large portions at affordable price. We enjoyed a generous BLT, delicious chef salad and incredible cheeseburger soup. This is hands down, a 5 Star, 1 $ restaurant. Not the common Amish buffet but great food at a very good price and very friendly and accommodating staff. Our waitress was so friendly and engaged to get married soon. We are in the area camping with NuCamp for a week but will likely return and definitely recommend this gem restaurant. read more

Upon arrival you don't realize you are entering an Amish restaurant due to the super modern feel of the restaurant. Lots of natural tones including my current favorite: gray! My aunt and I sat in a booth and she ordered a "build your own burger" where you can choose all the parts. I ordered the grilled chicken not realizing it came on a bun which was a nice surprise. I ordered delicious sweet potato fries along with it. I also added avocado and grilled onions along with my grilled chicken sandwich. The sweet mint iced tea is to die for! Check out my photos to see the beautifully recently updated decor. read more

I have eaten here twice and both times it was not good. First time I ordered the roast beef plate with mashed potatoes and it had zero seasoning. I went the second time thinking maybe I just ordered wrong the 1st time. Order the grill chicken strips with mixed vegetables. Chicken tasted like it was marinated in liquid smoke and the texture was terrible. The mixed vegetables looked as if they had been sitting in a pan all day. Very little flavor and obviously not freshly made. Didn't help to see on of the workers in the kitchen come out in what looked to be pajama pants. Waitress did a nice job but that's about the only bright spot. Really a disappointment but there will not be a 3rd visit. read more

An extremely diverse menu with so many options! I had such a hard time picking what i wanted because everything sounded amazing. Just outside of the heart of amish country this place is a must stop. Can't wait to go back! read more

A must try!! I had the Ruben, and the tomato basil soup. Both were amazing! The corn beef had an amazing flavor, The sauerkraut, bread, and thousand Island dressing was also delicious. The real winner was the tomato basil soup! I would highly recommend it if you make a stop here. Also, I tried a maple brown sugar breve that was amazing. The only regret I have is that I didn't remember to take more pictures. read more

We stayed at an Airbnb nearby and the owner highly recommended East Main Kitchen, its a little bit of a drive to downtown Baltic, but once you arrive and walk see the open welcoming contemporary barn feel you realize you are in for a truly special treat. We arrived for a late breakfast on a Thursday morning and were able to seat ourselves. We sat at a table in the middle so we could enjoy the beautiful decor, see the coffee bar and drool over the dessert case. My Dad enjoyed the Baltic Bash, my Mom liked she was able to order ala carte and had 2 eggs, an english muffin and fresh fruit. I enjoyed the Miller Scramble, but instead of gravy I had blue cheese added and it was delicious. Great service, you could see everyone in the restaurant enjoying themselves and then the desserts - homemade daily. I love chocolate raspberry and selected the chocolate raspberry cake to go, but I couldn't wait and enjoyed every bite. Thank you East Main Kitchen for a wonderful time. When you are in the edge of Homes County, East Main Kitchen is a must for a truly delicious homemade meal! read more

Great breakfast and gourmet coffee. The best thing is their dinner time steaks. The quality is as good or better than some high end steakhouses we have been to. The sides are equally as good and the presentation is outstanding. We go, every time we are in the area, at least 4 times per year and would go more often if it wasn't a 5 hour drive. The owner and his wife are on site whenever they are open. Expect a wait on Friday and Saturday evenings. No alcohol! read more

Great place to eat!! Amazing steaks! I would highly recommend this place!! Excellent service

Great Service (Leah is a pleasant soul and knows her menu) and awesome food. This restaurant is founded in service and care for others. Appetizer choice, was fried green beans ( recommended by Leah) with a house dipping sauce. They were Fantastic, batter was flavorful. We indulged in 2 entrées. An impressive medium rare 8oz fillet with mushrooms and coconut mango rice (packed with flavor) and the Shrimp and grits! The Grits were so buttery, garlic and smooth they resembled mashed potatoes. Their are steaks cuts are plentiful for red meat carnivores visiting Amish country. Great place to eat dinner and the care map is impressive with the communities they have helped as part of the mission to give a hand. Make the Trip to Baltic! read more

Excellent decor! Cozy! Our server was very sweet & coffee was good. We both enjoyed our breakfast. I got fried corn mush, bacon & an egg. I would have preferred real maple syrup to Mrs. Butterworth's packet. Husband got Farmer's Breakfast & we both thought the bacon was exceptional, & he thought his biscuit could've been lighter & fluffier. We would definitely eat here again if we are in the area. read more

The open farmhouse feel was great and our waittress was phenomenal! The chicken tortilla soup was great tasting and left nothing to be desired (although a bit pricy at $8/bowl). I ordered the roast beef dinner Manhattan style---great slow cooked beef on homemade Amish bread. Yum! However, the "beef gravy" and mashed potatoes killled it for me. While the potatoes were I am sure real...they were watery tasting (almost gritty) like they were previously refrigerated or frozen at one point in time. The beef gravy...? What did you do with all those lucious beef drippings from that slow roasted beef? Add it to the gravy packet or canned gravy you poured over my plate at least. That gravy killed it for me...keep it all authentic tasting, you were so close!!! read more

Really inviting breakfast, lunch, or dinner spot. The food is clearly made with care, and all of the ingredients used clearly shine. My wife and I ordered the buffalo dip, chicken sandwich (REALLY good fried chicken), and the shrimp + grits. Service was quick and attentive. It is a shame that they don't have alcohol, but the food was delectable enough. read more

Read positive reviews so we stopped in. The decor is modern country. We were seated immediately and Katrina (friendly waitress) took our order. We got salads that were delicious. Will return! read more

I agree with everyone else. The service was incredible and the food delicious with large portions. I had the Reuben with sweet potato fries. The corned beef was tender and hand cut. The fries had a sweet caramel dipping sauce. It was incredible. My husband had the buttermilk chicken and he loved it. Our only disappointment was the coconut cream pie which was more whipped cream than pie and a bit runny for our taste. However we would go back again. We arrived around 4:30 on a Thursday with only about 25% of tables occupied. By 5:30 there was a line out the door. read more

Nice atmosphere, servers are usually pleasant and helpful, and the food is good. Breakfast is my favorite but beware, the sausage patties taste strange. Tried them numerous times because sausage is a favorite for me but not here.. read more

Love this place. Every time we go to Ohio this is one of the places we must eat at. The breakfast is the best

Great food. Great location. Great service. You get plenty of food for what you pay for. Come to Amish Country multiple times per year and will visit again. Highly recommend. read more

Perfection. I've never had food this food in Amish country. Nothing we got was mediocre but more so phenomenal. The house herb vinegarette is so full of flavor I bought a pint to bring home with me. Roast beef was so hearty. We got the soup and salad (ham & potato soup and chicken pecan salad), kids cheese burger was as large as a regular burger( 9 year old approved) and I had the roast beef, chicken noodles and salad with house herb vinegarette. Great service. Atmosphere is so fun and fresh; modern farmhouse. Service was efficient and server was very kind. We had a great experience and this is officially our new favorite restaurant. Worth the scenic drive off the beaten path. You won't be disappointed read more

East Main Kitchen - Pork chops - American Near Me - Baltic, Ohio

Headed home from Amish country, we pulled into a place which unfortunately was closing at 5. A rando directed us to East Main, where he said we would not be disappointed. He wasn't wrong! Beautiful modern farmhouse decor, a small bakery case with tempting pastries and a menu to satisfy most. We were there around 5pm so we got fried pickles which were cut lengthwise and fried in a batter-type coating for an app. My husband had shrimp & grits which he said were runnier than he prefers but still good. The shrimp had a spicy seasoning on it. My MIL had 1 pork chop, noodles & mashed potatoes. The noodles are not like Der Dutchman's, they were saltier in a broth, almost like soup. I had the very popular fried chicken which had a nice crunchy outside. The veg of the day was roasted cauliflower. I didn't know cauliflower could taste as good as it did! It's the best I've ever had. This is def a local joint but feels more upscale. If we come this way again, we'll be sure to stop in. read more

It was great. Good atmosphere and good food. Waitress was very helpful and friendly. Prices are a little on the high side for where it is.

I've had my fare share of overpriced steak, but this was worth every penny! Ordered the prime ribeye steak medium. Service was great too! Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a good steak in the area. read more

We recently decided to try this place on the way home from Columbus. Note to self: STOP HERE EVERYTIME YOU ARE DRIVING HOME FROM COLUMBUS. Me and my wife have tried almost all of the homestyle restaurants in Holmes County and Amish country. To me, this place is a clear step above all the rest. Hands down the best of the ones we have tried (including Der Dutchman, Farmstead, Mrs Yoder's, Boyd & Wurthmann, Hartville Kitchen). They have a few different options for those who get bored with just the standard fare of Amish style restaurants - we got fried cheese curds for an appetizer. They were amazing. For my meal, I got the ribeye steak and I am drooling just thinking about it. To be honest, I'm not a huge steak guy, but I've tried my fair share. This was absolutely the best tasting and juiciest steak I've ever had. If I ever get hungry for steak I know where I'll be going. My wife got roast beef with mashed potatoes and noodles and LOVED IT. Often the roast beef she has had at other restaurants is fatty. This beef was great quality and amazing flavor. To top it off they have a little coffee shop area with a full menu of coffee options. I thought the coffee was great quality. You won't regret stopping here, even if it's a little outta your way. We will be back! read more

Three cheers for this fabulous dining establishment. The menu lists offerings to satisfy anyone's tastes and appetite. The onion rings can be a stand alone item or enhance any dinner. The pork chops are definitely a mouth-watering item and there is nothing that compares to the Shrimp and Sausage Grits! Try the house salad dressings. And my mother-in-law would really dislike me if I state that the Custard Pie was the best! Well worth the drive if you're within 25 miles of the East Main Cafe. read more

Wow! We drove through Baltic about six weeks ago. Stopped here and were so pleased, that we made a point to come back! Clean, friendly, with delicious food, kind waitstaff, and efficient service. You really feel like you could stay all day. Don't miss this restaurant! read more

Broasted. Chicken. How did I forget to review this before? I ate here a few months ago, and was amazed at their broasted chicken. Got it again today, and it was just as good. How do they make it that juicy and that crispy at the same time? And the flavor of the breading is so good. Even the quality of the chicken seems better than any other. Just amazing. It's one of those foods that you just feel like you could never buy anywhere else again, because you know it wouldn't measure up. Sides. We've now tried salad (excellent--blackberry vin and herb vin are both very good), noodles (average), and Cole slaw (average). Desserts. They have giant cakes that you can buy by the slice, that are only around $5, which isn't bad. We've tried espresso (amazing, dark choc cake with great flavor coffee icing), coconut (very good), lemon blueberry (good), and berry cream (good). I'd love to try their roast beef, but I just can't see myself not getting the broasted chicken every time! read more

If you want a tender and juicy hamburger with pretty much everything on it you could ever want (my personal fav is avocado, lettuce, cheese, mayonnaise, grilled onions). Many other things are good here too. The shrimp and grits are really good. They are rich but yummy. My Husband loves the grilled pork chop. The cakes are so good and so with it. Their icing is unique-very buttery so if that is something you crave like I do, order a slice of chocolate truffle cake or blueberry lemon cake. You won't regret it! read more

This quaint Amish restaurant is so darling. The waitress was sweet and the food was delicious. We had fried green beans and beets for appetizers and they were very good. I had the Turkey and my friend had the Reuben. The Turkey was good and mashed potatoes were ok. The Ruben was delicious. The atmosphere was so sweet that I had to give out a5 star for experience. read more

Wonderful food and service. First this place is busy, which is great to see for a local restaurant. And once you try the food you realize why it is so busy. We tried getting take out here one evening but since they were so busy, they stopped taking take out orders which we completely understand. We were able to get dinner from here the next night and it was worth the wait. My wife got the chicken salad wrap and loved it. My daughter got the kids mini corn dogs and ate the whole thing. And I got the roast beef dinner and it was delicious. Tender and flavorful. They also have a wide variety of desserts and coffees. I recommend the French press as it was a flavors strong coffee. read more

Stopped here for breakfast. Absolutely delicious, great service. Very clean. Very nice decore.

Huge, delicious portions! Very clean, nice atmosphere. Easy place to relax for a meal or coffee.
