The Amish Barn Restaurant is the epitome of quaint country dining at its best. Set within a converted barn, the restaurant's large picture windows overlook a vegetable garden and actual working farms. Service here is very friendly and, with the servers' traditional Amish clothing, very nostalgic as well.
The entrees are generous in size. Thus, it is definitely the place to visit when very hungry. The menu features locally inspired country fare like ham, chicken and turkey as well as a nice variety of home-grown veggies. Desserts here are delicious and fresh-baked. They vary from the traditional Amish Shoo-Fly Pie and apple dumplings to other flavorful creations like lemon-coconut layer cake.
All of the food I tried was fantastic! If I had to pick one thing that stood out above the rest, however, it would be the corn bread. It is rich, dense, buttery and befitting as a meal in itself.
The restaurant is open seven days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It's a wonderful place to eat, relax and take in the scenery. If all this isn't enough to inspire a visit, how about a large gift shop? The upstairs gift loft is a treasure trove of unique Amish handicrafts sure to delight anyone on your souvenir list!
