Visited this restaurant after a day of canoeing next door and was pleasantly surprised! My parents came here a few years before and raved about how good the food was. I'm a little skeptical of places that billboard advertise in touristy areas, but trust me it's not at all a tourist trap! The restaurant is in buffet style and the overall feel is very homey and cozy. The decor and classic home style comfort food reminds you of being at your grandmother's house! There's a huge selection on the salad bar and the prepared foods are hot, well attended to by staff, and pretty good tasting! Think delicious yeasty dinner rolls, casseroles, macaroni and cheese, steamed vegetable sides, and a variety of classic meat dishes. And don't forget to go to the dessert table for lots of yummy pies! Cherry, rhubarb, French silk, peach, and more! read more

Was a great change for our group while camping. A long rainy day with kids we were looking for something fast. This place was great with all the food choices and desserts for everyone. Great place! read more

Great food and great service! Been here twice but this time decided to bring my friend along and it didn't disappoint. Absolutely loved the roasted chicken and fried chicken livers. It's definitely worth the drive from Newark! read more

TUESDAY AFERNOON IN JULY - 1PM SEVEN WORDS: Bland Buffet / Amish Veneer / Homey but Unspectactular Of all Buffets (Yes, including Golden Corral and Ryan's Steakhouse), this is the worst. I'm not saying it's bad, but it's definitely bland - and that's a problem, given the fact it's a buffet. Naturally, we were greeted promptly and with great courtesy by the hostess and our waiter came up in no time at all and took our drink orders - it was Megan and she was fantastic. However, waiters are individuals and they are hardly a reflection of the restaurant's quality. That's why I tip them - and that can vary from 10-50 percent, based on their service - NOT THE COST NOR THE QUALITY OF THE FOOD. I ordered the buffet and my dining partner ordered the ham loaf. The ham loaf came in less than 10 minutes and the buffet was always stocked and in good clean order. My first plate included mashed potatoes, dumplings, and two pieces of chicken. The noodles hadn't even been salted or peppered. The chicken broth itself was a little bland, too. I wrote off the blandness of the noodles because, after all, it was Amish/Dutch/German fare - all of which often taste bland. The chicken was perfectly terrible. - and this isn't the first time I've had this problemat this restaurant. The cause might be two-fold: First, the vegetable oil (or worse yet, cheaper Canola oil) might not have been changed for several days. Secondly, some pieces were amalgamated into "multi-piece" where the pieces were dumped into two or more at a time - causing them to stick together - I got a wing-breast with one piece (I thought it was just a larger piece until I peeled it apart. On the drive home, I found out the ham loaf was bland/mediocre, too. All this for 26 without including the 6 dollar tip (min wage is 8 USD - she did 45 minutes of solid work, all tolled - but you cannot save bad food, it just leaves a rotten taste in your mouth. read more

All you can eat buffet was just ok. Food was pretty soggy and Luke warm at best. I was hoping for more choices with an all you can eat buffet for $15.99! read more

Poor food quality, very unseasoned and not at all appetizing, the prices are also very high for the quality of food that you are getting! The service is also not the greatest as well they did not tend to there customers and sat around talking instead. read more

Good food and drinks for kids and kids with autism are a must to get them into a good mood for school activities

Food quality was poor. Taste was not flavorful. Sides were very overpriced and they only filled the small side container 1/4 of the way IF THAT MUCH! I think part of one dinner was not there, but I was not going back a second time We had not eaten there in a couple of years and it was definitely a huge disappointment. We used to love the Olde Dutch. We will not be going back. read more

I've eaten at this restaurant a handful of times. I've eaten here with my family since they live in the area. Every time we've eaten at the Old Dutch is when the church has a get together and the banquets are always 'buffet style'. We recently ate there in late February and the food was ok. The buffet consisted of a salad, pasta primavera, mashed potatoes w/gravy, corn, ham and another entree. For dessert there we had the option of either apple or cherry pie. Not much of a selection. The best part of the buffet was the salad, given that the other foods were plain (almost said it was bland), but you had to use salt & pepper to give the food some taste. The coffee was good, but I wouldnt compare it to Starbucks or any other gourmet coffee brand. The atmosphere was 'homey' given that we ate in a group in one of their banquet rooms. The staff was friendly and was quick to get our dirty plates off the table. read more

Our server Kevin is hysterical , he will make you smile and he is friendly professional attentive and service with a huge smile! Portions are good. Food was hot and tasty! Soup was hot and chicken noodle and yes you can see pieces of chicken yummy! The Reuben was very delicious and sauerkraut was the best! read more

Mashed potatoes and noodles pie was delicious. The prices are unbelievable! Hopefully we can make it for donuts in the morning.

Absolutely delicious comfort food! PRO: Food is fabulous. Buffet had 3 sections in a row accessible on both sides, and a separate desert table. One section was cold which was your typical salad fixings. The other two sections were hot and included sides like mashed potatoes, stuffing, a few casseroles, and veggies, and meats including fried chicken, roast beef, and sausage to name a few. Desert table was pies and ice cream. CONS: We went on Sunday, and it was really expensive imo, and really crowded. For 2 of us, we spent $40 for buffet, beverages + tip. My advice us don't go on Sunday. :) read more

Olde Dutch - Old Dutch buffet price list - American Near Me - Logan, Ohio

See all

Ate here for the lunch buffet which ends at 430pm for $10.59 per person + drink + tip. After 430pm it goes up to $13.59 per person + drink + tip. Many of the area coupon books have up to $5 discounts or kids eat free coupons worth $4.99. Food and service were good. Note: I said good, not great, not superb but good. However, the chicken was great. I'd come back just for that. Homemade ranch was great and good for dipping the buffalo wings. Otherwise, most of the items were average tasting buffet fare. I would recommend tasting the homemade mashed potatoes and noodles. Quality. read more

Olde Dutch - Menu at the old Dutch - American Near Me - Logan, Ohio

I've been going to this restaurant for years. It's good Amish-style cooking in the Hocking Hills area. The buffet is on par with similar restaurants located in Ohio's Amish Country (around Berlin, Ohio). It's a little pricey, but well worth the expense due to the sheer number of entree, side, and dessert options. Be advised that your drink is not included in the buffet price. This place shines in its desserts. The pies are rich without being sugary. The coconut cream is close to what I make at home and the French silk is creamy. Even their no bake cookies are scrumptious! Outside there is a small zoo with rescued animals, a putt putt course, and an ice cream shop. The restaurant is also within walking distance from several antique style shops. read more

We couldn't decide so we went here. The food was home style buffet. It was clean and very busy. We did not leave anything behind. The food was well seasoned we didn't dislike anything. Dani was a great waitress. read more

Great country down home cooking. Buffet was hot and stocked with lots of southern ohio comfort food.

This is the best Amish style buffet in the Columbus and surrounding vicinity. Yes, Logan is a drive from Columbus. Yes, oh yes, the food is worth the drive! Plus while you're in the area make it a point to visit the Hocking Hills state park(s). The is loaded with culture and its always beautiful down there. We have been to this buffet a few times in the past couple years and it gets better every time we go. This place has everything from soup, to fried homemade chicken, to pie to finish your meal off with. A grand selection of comfort food to win you over. The gift shop has some nice gifts for those who want a treat from semi southern Ohio. Plus if you're in to antiques there is an antique mall next door and a craft mall across the parking lot from the restaurant. So if you find yourself in the area and your hungry, this may be your place. The prices make it well worth it in contrast to Der Dutchman in Plain City. Oh you wont have to wait 1 hour to get into Olde Dutch to eat either! Now that your read this go get some great food for a spectacular price! read more

Rude staff. Don't waste your time or money. Enjoyed feeding the goats tho- 1 star for the goats.

This place is a must go. The food is like your at a family gathering for a Sunday dinner every day. A large selection is always on the menu and the chicken is the best I have ever had. Our server Kendra made us feel like we were family. Our drinks Were brought out before we could drink half of them. So from the food to the amazing service I can't say enough good things about our experience thank you Kendra for takes such good care of my wife and I. read more

Olde Dutch - Delicious salad and veggie soup! - American Near Me - Logan, Ohio

It is the most amazing American buffet I have ever had. The variety and quality of food was impressive. What blew my mind was the dessert selection. The quality of the food for the price was just unbelievable. I would recommend everyone to definitely try it. read more

Nice buffet! Amish style home cooking. ( discounts for bariatric patients! ) small to medium sized restaurant and gift shop . It even has a petting Zoo next door with deer and Pygmy goats for the kids , and young at heart. Within walking distance of antiques stores and markets. read more

If everyone in your party has different tastes, this may be a solution. Great salad buffet, food buffet, lots of pie choices, and ice cream. Yeast rolls are great. Buffet has a wide variety of choices typically with several meats (including broasted chicken), several sides , vegetables, and usually soup. You can also order off the menu. Gift shop has a lot of fun things including souvenirs, inspirational books, jewelry, baked goods, OU and OSU memorabilia, and small toys. Weekends can be busy, but they are always well stocked and have ample seating. read more

The ranch dressing, rolls, roast beef, and coconut cream pie was delicious! After a long day of hiking- this place was welcomed.

They have a decent variety but nothing like a golden corral. But if you live in this area it might be the best buffet you get. The beef dishes are extremely salty. My wife loved the Brussels but this is nothing you would travel for. But they are polite read more

C and I really enjoy this restaurant. The service is outstanding, manners included. The food is comfort worthy and the atmosphere is relaxed. I will enjoy returning here for another meal. I just finished lunch and picked a Coconut Cream Pie slice for dessert. Walking back to my table I overheard the word....Coffee... yes, I am in the mood for a cup. I asked and my waitress brought me a cup, I took a sip and found it needed no cream or sweetener, it was rich and delicious on its own. Now: I recommend the Coconut Cream Pie and a Coffee for dessert, they totally go together and if you are any kind of fan of both you should be disappointed. read more

Their buffet has typical buffet food you find at all buffets. Nothing stood out as amazing just average bland buffet food. And expensive.

The restaurant was clean and friendly staff. The selection of food was great. It has a shopping area when you first enter and has great items. read more

My wife and I had lunch on 10/17/2019. We were really pleased with the food, service and price. A great place at a good price. Be sure to try the bean soup, by far the best I have had in a long time read more

Tried this place after hiking in Hocking Hills. Food was pretty good, rolls and pies were amazing! Would love to go back when they can operate as a buffet again! read more

I do not like buffets. This was like no buffet I had ever been to! The food was actually good! The mashed potatoes were homemade it said and they tasted good! I am gluten free and felt I had plenty of options. The staff was super friendly with my little kids. The desserts were awesome. My husband was glad I made him stay and eat here because he doesn't like them either. I liked the price level for kids of different ages. My two littles were free and my 10 year old was cheap. About $14 for dinner, salad, main course and dessert. Can't go wrong. Only thing is I wish they opened early. Opens at 11 and we wanted breakfast one day. read more

Very yummy food!! Wasn't too sure about this place at first but wow they actually have really great quality food/ meats. Much higher quality and greater portions than any of my local diners/ brunch spots. They opened at 11 and we're busy right away. They had a buffet option (at a good price) or menu items. Buffet was basically a combination of everything on the menu, so if you are really hungry, go with that! Buffet also loaded with tons of pies and ice cream for dessert, and the soups of the day. I went with the BLT sandwich. Bacon was great quality, thick, and cooked well. There was actually so much of it that I took some off! Friends tried the open face pot roast sandwich, it was HUGE! But oh my was the meat tender and soooo tasty. Mashed potatoes were great too, and I believe made fresh. Everything was really really good and service was great too. They do not serve breakfast foods at all though. We all were hoping for eggs but they only do lunch and dinner. Place was very cute and has fun stuff just outside of it (like goats, golf, and antique malls!) Really fun stop on the way home from camping. read more

I was visiting the Hocking Hills area from Florida. After a long day of hiking, I decided to grab a bite to eat before heading back. The restaurant had the shortest wait time compared to surrounding restaurants. The staff was friendly, the food tasted good, the price was a little high for a buffet but overall things were great. Then it hit. 10 hours later my father came down with foot poisoning. He ate something different than I did so I didn't have issues. I get it it's a buffet but maybe steps to prevent food poisoning might be in order. read more

I can't say enough as to how good the food is here. We were staying in Hocking Hill for a weekend getaway and decided to try the Olde Dutch Restaurant, as we love Amish style food. Although the buffet looked wonderful, we decided to order from the menu. I had the dutch style noodles, they were excellent. The service was great, the restaurant was clean, it was a great experience. If we ever come back in the area, we will definitely be returning to the Olde Dutch Restaurant! read more

The buffet has been changed a bit due to the virus precautions. However, they just bring it to your table. I had the meatloaf and blackberry pie. Amazing food read more

Absolutely the best buffet around and well worth the drive ! We've been coming here for years. Great friendly staff and amazing food. Highly recommend! read more

Food was delicious! Buffet had tons of options. Very friendly wait staff. Clean, family friendly environment.

Our recommendation is meh. Nice selection of food, fair price. But across the board our family of 6 found the food somewhat flavorless. Everyone enjoyed the chicken, rolls and mashed potatoes, but nearly everything else was bland. The noodles, roast, scalloped potatoes, other meats etc had little flavor. The desserts however were pretty good. The cakes were a little dry, but the pies were great and the selection of ice cream was good. read more

Nothin like eating at a der Dutchman restaurant. This place has a ton of different food. Great macaroni band cheese. My family loved the stuffed peppers. They have pineapple glazed ham balls. Always fresh food coming out. Plenty to choose from for dessert. read more
