Authentic Amish/Mennonite buffet restaurant. I used to work here and the food is delicious. Mashed potatoes, rotisserie chicken. For dessert they feature all you can eat pie from Bird in Hand bake shop. This is a very popular restaurant and there is often an hour wait, especially in the summer so keep that in mind. Breakfast buffet is also amazing.
