Second time here. The best option in the “Amish area” for not only buffet but also full menu! Not one complaint from our group. Always get seated quick even when they are packed. My favorite was the salmon and the chicken

By far the best chicken in the area!! The other amish restaurants have more salad bar options and a little more on the buffet but the food here is way better tasting and is so fresh. It's a must visit whenever in the area!

This restaurant holds a special place in my heart. Best chicken in Ohio. And their desserts?! Absolutely amazing. They pour so much love in their whole restaurant. PLEASE VISIT! All of the staff I've met are super friendly and caring. I've been going when I can since I was a kid.

Mrs. Yoder’s Kitchen is our favorite Amish restaurant to eat at when in Holmes County. It’s actually run by Amish folk (not commercialized) and it’s where the local eat! Our favorites are the roast beef, gravy and mashed potatoes. We also enjoy a slice of peanut butter pie to remind ourselves we’re in Amish country and that’s what you do.

Best buffer prepared in Amish style. Love the salad bar, pickled red eggs, pickled tomatoes, the fried chicken, fried cod and bbq pork ribs. Reasonably priced and highly recommended.

Mrs. Yoder's may not be the biggest buffet in the area, but I can say everything on the buffet is good. There is not one item that we tried and did not like. It is by no means a fancy place it looks like your grandma's house. But in the amish country that's kind of what you want. It's simple home cooking at its best. I will say the fried chicken here is leaps and bounds better than other buffets in the area. The place is small and fills up fast, so do not be surprised if there is a wait for a table. It also has a small parking lot out front. This restaurant is by no means meant to attract tourists but more should probably visit it. It is worth trying while in the area. The buffet here is also cheaper than the other buffets nearby.

Myrs Yoder's Kitchen has fantastic, hot, fried chicken! Best I've ever had. We had the buffet, others in our group had the plentiful salad bar, overall a great meal. The restaurant opens at 11am on a Saturday, the day of our visit, we got there at 11.05 and the parking lot was full and overflow lot filling up. Customers were a mix of Amish and English.

I really enjoyed my visit to Mrs Yoder's Kitchen. It was a nice country drive to and from but keep your eyes open for horse and buggies as they are plentiful on the road. They offer a buffet and salad bar or you can choose from the menu. The buffet was smaller than most but quality food with good flavor. The Amish fried chicken is king here. It alone is worth the trip. It was moist and juicy and delicious. Local sourced food is evident. here. The home made mashed potatoes were very good. The corn was creamy and amazing. It tasted similar to creamed corn. I could tell it was farm fresh. The roast beef was tender and tasty. They had a few nice things to offer but you can't try everything. I only got what I really wanted and it was so good I had seconds. I was going to have a slice of blackberry pie but was full so got it to go. I took home a coconut cream pie. This restaurant is definitely worth the trip.
