    Bowl chicken pot pie
    Kristina K.

    Off the beaten path and away from the typical tourist locations ... you can find this little gem of a place. Filled with mainly locals - it's across the street from the fire station. Our server was super friendly and very attentive... food came out hot and quickly. The food was overall good and everyone in our party enjoyed their meal. One person requested butter instead of gravy on their mashed potatoes and the result way way too much butter. Chicken pot pie was salty ... however overall the food was good and we will be back.

    Don't miss this restaurant in your visit to Lancaster's Amish country, even though it is in Quarryville. It's worth going there. Service is great - friendly Amish and Mennonite women. The food is delicious! There's a dinner special most evenings. I've had the chicken pot pie, the Amish wedding dinner, and my favorite - the chicken croquettes! Their apple pie is great, the side chicken salad and macaroni salad are great. They have good strawberry jam. There's plenty of seating, there's a second room with beautiful murals. You'll see locals eating there, many times owners of local Amish businesses and community members, even people who came from far. Highly recommend you visit!

    There is a small parking lot in front of the restaurant. It has a simple interior, the scenic room has a lovely mural. The service was friendly. The food was great. My Rueben was one of the best I have had. The thousand island dressing was perfect and the pastrami was cooked well. The bread is made onsite. The hand cut fries were yummy and I loved the potato salad. My husband also enjoyed his Rueben and coleslaw. We left happy and wanting to come back and try the dinner which has some traditional Amish options.

    I went to this place for the first time with my parents who have been here before. I got the chicken pot pie which I thought was really good. My parents liked the food here before but this time it was just okay. All the sides are pretty big portions. The service was a little slow but they were busy. There's two different sides, one is nice and modern and the other is more for kids. You can choose to sit wherever you want.

    It takes a little getting to this place but it is worth it. The Crab Bisque special and open face roast beef was excellent. The service was top notch, took our order quickly and got food out without any delays. It as an open kitchen area that you can observe them preparing your food and the prices were reasonable for the large quantity of food they provide. I would definitely come back here if I'm anywhere nearby.

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.

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.

    I have never left a venue tour after 10 minutes before, but unfortunately, that is exactly what…read morehappened here. This place does not even deserve 1 star. From the moment we arrived, the person conducting our tour was extremely rude, condescending, and defensive. We genuinely felt as though our presence was an inconvenience and that she had no interest in having us there. What should have been an exciting and enjoyable experience became uncomfortable immediately. Our wedding is over a year away, and while we had a general idea of the type of timeline we wanted, we obviously do not have every detail finalized (nor should we have to!). We explained our rough plans for a reception party (no ceremony), including incorporating some traditional reception elements followed by food stations. Rather than helping us understand how that could work at the venue, she repeatedly challenged us to provide an exact timeline, with no typical guidance or consultant feedback whatsoever. When we asked how many hours we would actually have the venue rented for, so that we could better understand the logistics and figure out a timeline, she spoke down to us and told us that 5-6 hours is customary for weddings. The way she said it was extremely belittling, as though we were somehow inexperienced or unreasonable for asking. Every venue is different and because we are not having a traditional ceremony, just a reception, we didn't know if the rental spaces/times would change. We were trying to get this necessary information from her so that we could create the timeline she was pressuring us to have, yet instead of answering our questions and helping us work through it, she made us feel like we should already know the answer. At one point, she became defensive and explained that we could not have food available for four hours due to safety and that this was why she was "challenging" us to have a timeline. We completely understand that food cannot simply sit out for four hours (duh??), and we never suggested that it would. We were simply discussing our ideas and trying to understand the venue's logistics. The level of defensiveness over a hypothetical timeline was honestly bizarre and completely unnecessary. The same thing happened when we asked about catering. We were told that we could bring in our own vendors. My mom commented that it was nice to have that flexibility/DIY, since some venues require you to use their preferred vendors. She immediately became argumentative and abruptly corrected her by saying, essentially, that we were not "doing it on our own" and that we had a choice in the matter. We understood that.. We were not arguing with her or misunderstanding the policy--we were expressing that we appreciated having the option. My mom has been in the bridal/wedding industry for 7 years and has never experienced this kind of treatment during a venue tour. We came in excited, open-minded, and ready to learn about the space. In fact, we traveled 2 hours to come. Instead, we were met with an incredibly unprofessional and snide attitude simply because we were sharing our ideas and asking customary questions. Ultimately, we walked out after about ten minutes. That should say everything. Honestly, we feel blessed that we had this experience now rather than after booking and we have no idea how this place is in business. A wedding venue is supposed to be a place where you feel welcomed, supported, and excited about celebrating one of the biggest moments of your life. We could not imagine working with someone who made us feel like a nuisance before we had even booked the venue. After seeing other reviews mentioning similar concerns about the poor service and attitude, I am even more grateful that we trusted our instincts and did not move forward. The venue itself may be beautiful, but the terrible experience we had with her was enough to make us immediately take it off our list. If anyone actually decides to get married here, good luck! And if you're thinking of visiting, don't.

While it was a colaboration between the library and the event space, no neither can take full credit, the two worked together effortlessly to make this event memoriable. Easy to find on Lincoln Highway in the Gap, the grounds, barns, and outdoor spaces were beautiful and well maintained. The inside of the barn was refurbished, modern, comfortable and a beautiful backdrop for any event. The grounds weren't quite in full bloom but were well maintained and the perfect scenery for pictures. The parking, although on the small size, was paved and ample. Another outbuilding where a storybook reading was held is normally used as a bride's quarters for getting ready pre-wedding. That room was elegant and furnished with luxurious french provincial type furnishings, gold guilded mirrors and was very grand. At our event, carriage rides were offered around the property. I had the pleasure of chatting with a relative of the owner, who relayed the property's history to me, which was very interesting. While the home is a private residence, there's still many venues on the property for different kinds of events. Definately a place to consider for large baby shower, party, reception, or wedding.
