First, let me say this is a local family restaurant, the service has always been good, and the…read morerestaurant is clean. I have eaten here several times, and while I appreciate that it is a local establishment, the food quality is much closer to what I would expect from a school cafeteria than from a traditional family restaurant. That may sound harsh, but it is honestly how the food comes across to me. The issue is not the service or the cleanliness; it is the quality, presentation, and value of the food itself. One thing I have noticed during my visits is how heavily they promote their "Pot Pie," including advertising on the backs of the servers' shirts that says, "Make Pot Pie Legal." Since Wednesday's special is all-you-can-eat Chicken Pot Pie, I decided to try it. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed. The presentation was not appealing, and the food looked more like a scoop of gravy and potatoes than what I expected from chicken pot pie. There was very little chicken, chunks of potato, and gravy, but no other identifiable vegetables. I ordered a side of peas and added them myself. There was also no pie crust at all. When I asked about it, I was told that "chicken pie" has crust and "pot pie" does not. I understand there may be a regional distinction, especially in Pennsylvania Dutch-style cooking, where chicken pot pie can refer more to a chicken stew with dough or noodle-like pieces rather than a baked pie with crust. I found that interesting and did not argue the point. That said, even allowing for that distinction, this dish was still disappointing. If it is not meant to have a pie crust, I would still expect a hearty chicken dish with a better balance of chicken, vegetables, and some type of dough, noodle, or dumpling-style element. What I received was mostly potatoes and gravy, with very little chicken. I paid the all-you-can-eat price, but I could not finish the first plate. Overall, the meal was disappointing. In my opinion, the pricing is high compared to the quality. My wife does like their chicken strip salad, which is why we continue to go occasionally, but this particular special is not something I would order again.

There are not many places where you can get all you can eat wings. We found one in Quarryville, PA…read morein southern Lancaster County. On Monday nights after 5 PM it's all you can eat for $16.96. It's a good deal especially if you are hungry and not impatient. Our experience was mixed. The restaurant was very busy. If you go, be prepared because the parking is a bit limited. The wings are on the larger size, smoked and then sauces. The flavors were unique. Good, but not traditional. Service was slow. Too slow. So again, give yourself plenty of time.

At first we weren't sure what to expect from reading the menu but let me assure you, everything is made with LOVE. Iykyk. We ended up ditching our reservations at some bougie restaurant to come back here a second time during our stay. The ambiance is cozy, clean, & minimalist. The Amish people are in a lane of their own when it comes to quality. They just nail everything across the board. Might I add that our waitress Amanda was the dearest of souls and her Bible verse attached to the receipt imprinted a memory for me and my husband for all of time.

Sadie, all of our server was lighting, efficient , on point and very sweet. Service was quick, a must stop in Amish country

The chicken and waffles were loaded they surly don't skimp on the protein and fluffy Belgian waffle. Nice strips of bacon you really can't go wrong here. Our server (insert name tbd) bobbed and weaved with impeccable service. The vintage juke box, attractions for the kids and just that homely vibe has the locals coming back for more.

Best of all, if you're any bit of nostalgic like myself, it's like stepping back in time and going to breakfast with your grandparents. Imagine the furniture and smells of the late 90s paired with the paper mats covered in local business listings. The service is fast and great! I ordered an omelette while my fiancé ordered one of the breakfasts including a variety of all the offerings. Everything came out quickly, portions were huge, and tasted great. If we were to ever be in town again, we would certainly stop back in.

Today, a coworker and I visited and I had a cowboy burger -- pretty simple burger but it was amazing and I'm not sure what made it so tasty. Cowboy burger has an onion ring, two thick-sliced tomatoes, a piece of lettuce, and crispy bacon. I asked for the barbecue sauce on the side. Plenty of terrific fries came with my burger. My coworker had the turkey club and said it was delicious. Neighbors on our sides had cheesteaks that looked -- and they said tasted -- amazing. This is a popular spot at lunch and sometimes, like today, there's a slight wait for a table but it's worth it.

A special was on the board of a ham and cheese croissant with a price somewhere around 10.00. Great, both my sister and I got the special. When we received our bill it was higher for the sandwich and we brought it to the owners attention. She explained croissants cost more than bread or rolls so that is why the extra charge. She was dead wrong on that one, you do not advertise one price and charge another. It was just the principal of it, and we did not patronize the restaurant for quite a while. We were there about a month ago and food was very good as it usually was. I just wish I would have refused to pay the additional that day, I believe owner was not aware of etiquette. The special did not have a choice, like muffin, toast or croissant. It specifically advertised sandwich on croissant.
