    stopped in for a bite after a long day, friendly faces, good prices, good food. Definitely recommend nachos are amazing

    Enchilada Supreme.
    Sarah M.

    Had the Enchilada supreme, was delicious! Free chips and good salsa, ordered a side of guacamole. It was probably the best guacamole I have ever had in a restaurant! $38.00 for 2 people. Not a bad deal. They don't serve alcohol. Service was ok. Nothing special.

    This was a very interesting dining experience to say the least. My wife and I ate here on a Saturday evening and both enjoyed our food although I don't really remember what all we ate. I just remember everything tasted good. I remember getting watermelon tea to drink and it was so good I wished I had gotten more refills than I did. I lived quite a bit of my life in the border states of the southwest with approximately ten years in Texas, four years in Arizona, and four months in California. This place could easily hold its own in any of those states and I told them so. In fact, I told them of a bit of a "missed opportunity" that could have made them even better and more authentic. The Sonoran-style Mexican restaurants of southern Arizona (and the two I ate at in Nogales, Mexico) actually used queso mennonita--Mennonite cheese--in their recipes and so it seemed very fitting that this restaurant in Shipshewanna with so many Amish and Mennonite employees and customers should also use queso mennonita in their recipes, but alas they'd never thought of it. The only negative experience we had was having to stand in line for a long time with some very obnoxious customers who were also waiting to be seated. Since the restaurant doesn't serve alcohol they were all acting like they'd already gotten half drunk before they got there. Their language was inappropriate for public behavior in a family restaurant setting and they were rude and insulting to my wife and me when all we were doing was trying to ignore them.

    Enchiladas supreme, very good! Red sauce is spot on

    Great authentic food, the service and speed of service was great. I would recommend stopping by if you are passing by or going to the flea market. I plan on going back soon.

    I have to start by saying, do NOT let the outside appearance cause you to turn around. The food is amazing! And the staff are very nice, helpful. Our food came out hot and large portions with an abundance of chicken, steak and so many shrimp!! All for a reasonable price! This may be Amish county but I will choose to come back here vs one of the Amish buffets

    a table full of mexican food

    Wow! What a hidden treasure! Muy autentico!! Great atmosphere and the food is amazing! I had veggie fajitas and Dave tried the Steak Mexicano. Both fabulous. And we shared the jalapeño poppers, which were good. Our server Nina, was warm, engaging and very responsive to every need! Highly recommend.

    We were skeptical about having Mexican food in Indiana as we are from Arizona where eating Mexican food is popular and eaten nearly everyday.

    I love pie. This place is pie heaven. The only downside is that the pie is put on the buffet by the…read moreslice, and it's hard not to eat the entire slice because it is so good, which means you get full before you can try all of the pies. There's salad, bread, soup, entrees and sides too - all cooked Amish style. I loved the beef noodles, meatloaf, and broccoli salad. I sampled some other dishes, but had to save room for pie. There were some really delicious puddings too - blueberry with fresh blueberries in it and a warm bread pudding. Delicious! Service was quick and friendly and I think it's a good value for $22. It's best to arrive early and plan for a long walk afterwards (to work off the pie).

    This place is a tourist trap, but for good reason…read more This huge restaurant spans 3 floors with the basement operating as a buffet option ($8.99 per child and $20+ for adults). I took a look, but was more impressed with the freshness, value and experience on the main floor with menu order options. The restaurant style reminded me of a re-imagined Amish version of Cracker Barrel with handmade oddities for sale. It was surprisingly busy with it being 4:30pm, and slightly annoying to learn the kids could not have the buffet if we were ordering from the menu because there are separate seating arrangements. We chose the restaurant side. Our waitress was bubbly and energetic... extremely thorough while maintaining a friendly neighborly vibe. She commanded the restaurant like it was her vocation and truly seemed pleased to serve her hungry patrons. Once she took our order and brought out our drinks we were delighted with a small homemade loaf of seed bread with real butter, apple butter, or Amish peanut butter (peanuts, honey, and marshmallow fluff mixed together) to top it with. As we enjoyed snacking, the two kids meals, and two adult dinners with soft drinks (they do not serve alcohol) came in around $75 total. The kids meal came with homemade fried (2) drumsticks, fries, drink and a cookie reserved for the end of the meal. Everything is homemade and my picky eater's gobbled it all up! Hubby ordered the fried chicken dinner and was happy enough, but both of us noted that our breast was slightly over cooked by a minute or so (slim margins, but made for a slightly dry and tough tasting breast). He loved his corn accompaniment, noting that it tasted like it was freshly cut from the cob. I opted for the Amish sampler plate and enjoyed the meatloaf, the breading of the fried chicken, the texture of the roast beef (though the seasoning could've improved), and the chicken stuffing with fresh carrots with a slight crunchy texture mixed in. The green bean side was good enough with the bacon, but lacking a crispy texture. The mashed potatoes and beef gravy were just okay. This gargantuan portion also came with a small side salad of leafy greens, a cucumber slice and grape tomato with dressing of your choice. Everything was good... so much food! I felt like I should've toiled on the farm all day to earn such a filling meal. For dessert we bought a homemade strawberry rhubarb pie to take home. Perfectly cooked (no soggy bottom) and wonderful texture and married flavors. The pie was worth it for $18 and if you stop by the visitor center you can get a $1 coupon. Just make sure to bring it in so they can staple it to the receipt for accounting. If we ever come back I may need to try the lemon meringue pie. The peaks were gorgeous and so tall! Pros: good home cooking. Homemade pies. Value prices for what you get. Cons: potential long waits, separate buffet from restaurant and some food lacking seasoning.
