    Fried potatoes cooked perfectly with Chicken and sides.
    Greg H.

    Service was excellent with friendly staff. The parking lot was packed so you know thats a good indicator.. the restaurant was really clean and with an old barn and county vibe .. Ice cold beer every time and the fried chicken was really good with great sides and left overs . Was a 2 hour drive one way but worth it and meet a couple regulars from Illinois hope to see them on next trip .. PS don't be in a hurry it takes time to get in .. 4 .5 star out of 5

    Family style chicken heaven!

    All the abundance and charm of a Sunday dinner at grandma's house in a historic setting. I only wish we had something similar to The Log Inn back home. Honestly, everything was over-the-top delicious! Thank you!

    a bar with a long wooden counter

    We were in town for the holidays and we took a shot for two of us to walk in and wait for a table. The place was packed as expected with a line down the hallway and out the door. We gave our name and rolled the dice and waited at the bar. We got lucky when two ladies sitting at the bar were called to their table and we snagged the seats. After waiting for 40+ minutes, we just decided to eat at the bar. The bartender hooked us up right away and we had delicious fried chicken, mashed potatoes and milk gravy, peas, Cole slaw, and warm rolls right in front of us in no time. Flavorful from start to finish! Props to the bartender for taking such great care of us. Can't wait for our next visit to Southern Indiana. It's the BEST family-style on the planet.

    Roast beef and mashed potatoes
    Melody C.

    This place is CASH ONLY. This is not listed on their website or posted anywhere in the restaurant, but there is an ATM in there. The food was alright, I had the roast beef with coleslaw, mashed potatoes and fried mushrooms. The roast beef and gravy tasted good but was a bit dry. Coleslaw was very sour, it was served in a pool of apple cider vinegar. The fried mushrooms were excellent, it was soft and juicy on the inside. The sides come in huge portions, so you are definitely getting your money's worth there. It was packed when I visited on a Tuesday night. The place is big and has multiple rooms, I sat in one that had wooden walls, was dimly lit, had no windows and was very old-timey. The whole draw of the restaurant is that Lincoln spent the night here once, so the atmosphere was fitting.

    OMG!!

    We loved coming here, you get an awesome nest, with all t he fixin's......I dare you to try to finish it all. A big shout out to the bartender, can't remember her name & are to embarrassed to ask.

Very family friendly and the deserts were so good that we had to make a trip to their bakery to pick up a couple delicious pies.

    Gasthof Amish Village, Montgomery IL. June, 2026. My husband and I were traveling along US-50, and…read morewe reached this buffet-style restaurant for lunch. Having grown up in PA, I'm very familiar with "Pennsylvania Dutch" or Amish and Mennonite cooking. I would characterize this style of cooking as hearty, simple, and high-calorie comfort food. The buffet included three main sections. The first included two soups (chicken noodle and vegetable), salad bar items, prepared salads (such as coleslaws and broccoli salad), and some gelatin molds. The second station was hot items (meats, gravies, vegetables). Finally, there was a dessert station with an assortment of cobblers, cookies, cupcakes, soft serve ice cream, and more. I noticed other patrons with homemade white bread but I somehow missed it on the buffet. Overall, there was a good selection of items available. I most enjoyed the meatloaf, mashed potatoes, broccoli salad, and berry and peach cobblers. The biggest misses were the chicken noodle soup (which didn't seem to contain any chicken pieces, was only lukewarm, and very over-salted) and the chocolate ice cream, which was runny. My husband and I found the food to be generally bland. (Granted, Amish food isn't known to have a spicy profile). In addition, they didn't offer some foods and desserts that I generally associate with Amish cooking -- pickled eggs, Harvard beets, macaroni and cheese, cinnamon apples. shoo fly pie, apple dumplings, fry pies, Whoopie pies, etc. (Admittedly, the traditional Amish foods in the Midwest may differ from those in Pennsylvania). The restaurant had a lot of seating and was clean, and had a cute gift shop that you passed through on the way in and out. Our server was sufficiently attentive. Parking was free and plentiful. The all-you-can-eat lunch buffet was $16.99 per person; drinks not included.

There were six of us and we ordered five different items - 2 opted for the country fried chicken. Every meal was full of home cooked flavors and cooked to perfection. I had the daily special of soup and salad. The salad was fresh full of crisp lettuce, bacon, cheese, vegetables and toasty croutons. The bean soup was perfect and came with a large slice of fluffy sweet cornbread. My husband said the gravy was the best he has had in recent memory and paired with the chicken and mashed potatoes, he would definitely come back for. The bbq ribs fell off the bone and my brother in law loved them. The coconut cream pie had mile high meringue and was light and coconutty with a flaky crust. The chocolate cake was deep dark and chocolaty! The blackberry cobbler was hot and delicious! Highly recommend this restaurant for food and ambiance!!

There has been a small pub below the restaurant called " Walter's Pub" . It was not open when we arrived; but it was also a great view. There is even a large scenery binocular mounted on the deck. It was a nice sunny Thursday afternoon, so you could see the river so well. We went into the restaurant and were greeted by a display with what was hand made candy, cookies and cannoli , awesome touch. We were seated by the window giving us a constant view of the winding river. We were promptly seated and asked if we'd like any beer beverages: Crystal the waitress provided the specials of the day. We settled with the fried chicken plate and the cod plate. Drink list is fairly standard normal list ( Miller Lite, Bud Light , Coors) with a few exports "Modelo". Not many in the restaurant when arrived but customers started to increase. Food took awhile but we weren't in any hurry. The restaurant was fine up with nice easy to the eye decor. You really get the feeling of an establishment that's been here for a long time taking care of customers. Food arrived and it was a nice portion, considered is a tad higher price, you get nice sized portions. Crystal was very good and nice waitress and took care of us. A small detail but I really liked it was waitress/waitress's name was on a card in a small block of wood on the table- small but nice touch. Many people don't ask or hear their servers name so it's sweet. Chicken was nice plump breast's, nice coating and so moist as I took a bite. Very , very moist and tasty. My wife had the cod sandwich; came with nice sized 2 portioned fillets. French fries with both and not bad, crispy. I had coleslaw as a side; it was very tasty if I must say! The cod was really tasty and had a nice crust to it as well. We took to go box with 1 of each piece cod and chicken home. But I was intrigued by the cannoli; so one to go. Nice place; scenic and great people and food! Stop if you get the chance! Thank you Crystal!
