This Northern Indiana Amish experience has been part of our family’s tradition for over 20 years. Great simple well made food. While the Buffet is fine, Family style allows for good conversation with all the food coming to you. Give it a try. Save room for a wide variety of homemade pies.

For many years we ate “family style” menu here. It was always fantastic. As we have gotten older, we no longer eat as much as before so we decided on the menu dining side of the restaurant.
The food still tastes great but portions aren’t what they used to be. In particular, the baked steak was more gravy than meat and was not filling considering the cost.
Prices (like everywhere) have gone up here so it no longer feels like a good value.
Sweet iced tea was decent and the raspberry cream pie was awesome as it always has been.
The staff were very friendly and reasonably attentive even though they were busy.
Overall, it’s still a family favorite but we wish the food to cost ratio was a little better. Maybe we should try the buffet again in the future.

This place was such a treat. It is more than just old time simple, comfort food. It is an experience. So many gift shops inside the massive building, and little shops outside including mini golf, ice cream, buggy rides!
The food was yummy, I had the roast beef with cabbage. It was fantastic!!
I bought a few gems and walked around. It would be easy to spend half a day or more there. Great spot to check out.

Das Dutchman Essenhaus serves comforting, homemade-style food that tastes like it came straight from grandma’s kitchen. Generous portions, classic flavors, and warm hospitality make it a must-stop for hearty, satisfying meals.

Great place to eat. It has a buffet of meat, veggies, and salads. All for 19.99. Per person. Drinks are extra. They seat you at a big table. There is a wait of about 45min. You can browse the shops and go to the bakery. I bought a cherry pie.

Wow! What an amazing place! Usually I find buffets to be subpar but this was great. Then ribs were tender – fall off the bone. The beef was also so tender and tasty. The fried chicken was the star of the show. It was crispy and delicious – some of the best I ever had. The server we had was so friendly too. I will definitely be back.

Amazing experience at the Das Dutchman! One of a kind place with a high Amish style buffet which includes an incredible fresh salad bar and desserts including cakes and puddings. The place is huge with a cute bakery on the side and souvenir shopping. Very reasonable price of $19.99 for all you can eat! We were stuffed. Tons of parking.

I stay here almost every year with a group of nursing school classmates. We love everything about this whole complex! The employees are super nice and helpful in all areas. Good food, good service, clean hotel with great breakfasts.

Great food and great service! The salad bar was fantastic! My mother in law couldn’t get enough of the potato salad. The main bar had mashed potatoes and gravy, chicken and noodles, beef and noodles, stuffing, green beans, corn, broccoli, fish, chicken and probably a few things I’m forgetting. Everything was well stocked. The apple butter on the table was so good! Our server was very sweet and attentive! Wish I would have gotten her name. I only got one picture, I took it for my parents. We lived in Topeka for a few years when I was little, and I had forgotten all about this dessert until I saw it here. Boy it was good! Price for the buffet with a water was $21.39 per person. Kind of expensive, but everything really was delicious!

Came here for a birthday dinner for my mom with some of my other family and the seating was very accommodating for my grandmother who is in a wheelchair. The food was fantastic as always. Been coming here for years and the food never disappoints. Our server Naomi was very attentive, accommodating, and pleasant attitude! Highly recommend!
