Highly recommend trying it! Also, if you want to surround yourself with sweet people, go here for the staff. Miriam was our waitress twice and we absolutely adored her. Food was great every time... you'll never go wrong with authentic Amish cooking and the prices were more than reasonable, too. The interior is what you would expect for a quaint, small town diner - a little dated and cozy. We will come back here, probably multiple times, every time we visit Middlebury. Thank you!

A neighbor recommended Essenhaus to me and said it was a local favorite, so I had to try it out…read more Honestly really glad I did! While waiting to be seated there was a bunch of stuff to look at like the little shops and bakery, so it didn't even feel like a wait. I tried the buffet and my favorites were definitely the chicken and roast beef. Both were super good and tasted homemade. The whole place just has a really cozy vibe and everyone was really friendly. I can see why people around here love this place!

I love Das Dutchman Essenhaus and routine eat there every 1-2 years when we visit Shipshewana. We…read moreusually have a great meal and pleasant experience. Last week was different. The non-buffet restaurant was crowded, so we took a seat at the counter. The server was busy managing multiple tables along with the counter, and seldom came by to check on us. She would also forget requests and fail to bring things we requested until we asked twice. I ordered the Dutchman Burger and immediately experienced buyer's regret. The burger tasted off--like it was a day away from his expiration date. The initial taste each bite was okay, but always end with a gamey, off-putting taste. We will definitely be visiting Shipshewana again and will each at DDE. However, I won't get that burger again and hope we don't come at a time when the servers are overworked and distracted.

They had a special for "Irish coffee" being St Patty's Day. Sure why not one of my favorites! I get a regular mug of coffee with Bailey's. For the record Irish coffee is brown sugar, Irish whiskey (preferably Tullamore D.E.W.) and whipped cream. Typically in a footed glass mug. I should have known better I was in Middlebury, IN. We inquired about an appetizer having garlic and onion. We were asked it if was preference or dietary? Does it really matter? But it is dietary for one of our party. After being told it had both we made other choices to split. Well the pretzel bites came with this HEAVY garlic cheese stuff that was the consistency of mashed potatoes. We also ordered poutine (another of our favorites) what came out was curly fries! (yes curly fries) with breaded cheese nuggets (yes breaded) with some brown thin gravy! Our main meal; one wedge salad (that was cut into quarters) with steak. Beautifully cooked beef medallions with zero flavor or seasoning. Nothing, not even S&P. The guest with the garlic/onion dietary request, asked what cheese comes on the nachos. She was told shredded and it's melted. So when her nachos came out it had mashed potato garlic cheese! She asked to have them remade. Which the server kindly did, her reorder came with a little melted cheese (you know when it's over heated and not cheese anymore) with sour cream squirted lines. I had the veggie burger which was actually good! The green goddess dressing is super tasty. Overall the place was nice and clean with super cute wallpaper in the bathroom. The prices with very reasonable. Would I go back, probably not. I wish them all the luck, might not be for us but I am sure they have fans.

On to the food. The bread and olive oil was pretty good but it wasn't Italian bread. The olive oil blend was tasty. The worst Caesar salad I have ever had. It did not have Romaine lettuce. The chicken on it was that fake prepackaged chicken. We specifically asked if the dressing is creamy, not the vinegar type, response yes. Was it, no. And the salad came out after we got our pizza! The sever was pretty much like too bad because of the kitchen. The pizza is really good and we like the red sauce, why three stars. The cherry bourbon smash drink we got was really good. However, I would get pizza to go and that is about it.

So we were deciding what to get and I noticed behind the cashier, at the entrance to the kitchen there was a gray bus tub full of chunks of something.

I said that (pointing to the tub full of unrefrigerated something) she said yes. That is SOOOO gross! We left!
