Mrs. Yoder’s Kitchen, Ohio Amish Country

14 May 202115 February 2025

There is no arguing the fact that home-cooked meals in Amish Country will have you gaining a few pounds over your weekend visit.   From hearty helpings of chicken ‘n dumplings to decadent desserts, I was in search of the best fried chicken in town.  Driving through Millersburg, I happened to notice a long line coming from Mrs. Yoder’s Kitchen and knew it was a sign to stop for lunch.

The wait was about fifteen minutes and I spent the last five of them watching servers carry plates of food.  Sitting down at the table, I looked over the menu and was tempted by the pot roast or the salmon, but Mrs. Yoder is known for her “special recipe” fried chicken.  While I waited for my meal, my server brought some bread with peanut butter spread, which was absolutely amazing.

My meal arrived, steaming hot with sides of mashed potatoes and gravy, noodles and whole kernel corn.  The chicken was juicy with a light, perfectly seasoned crispy outside.  The noodles and mashed potatoes reminded me of holiday dinners and the corn was plump at a perfect temperature.  The serving size was filling, so I opted to order a piece of strawberry pie for later.

With a couple of hours to spare before my horse and buggy excursion, I had some time to shop at Keim’s and enjoy a peach-flavored Nehi.

Have you visited Mrs. Yoder’s Kitchen in Ohio’s Amish Country?  I would love to hear what you ordered if you would kindly leave a message in the comments section below.  Many thanks for reading about my quick visit to Mrs. Yoder’s and wishing you many Happy Travels!

Home Cooking at The Farm, Adena, OH

22 April 202022 September 2024

Stephi,  from The Black Sheep Vineyard, suggested I visit The Farm for dinner which is located just around the corner from the winery.  She mentioned that the restaurant provided home-style cooking and recommended the prime rib with their homemade butter.  That sounded absolutely fabulous so I purchased a couple of bottles of wine and made my way over to the restaurant.

I was greeted with a warm smile by the hostess, who led me to a table close to the fireplace.  The atmosphere was electric as waiters kept busy with a full house.  My server was helpful in providing me with a list of specials which included a Shrimp and Scallop Pasta with Grilled Vegetables & Alfredo with Salad for $22, Baked or Fried Cod with two sides for $14 and a twenty-ounce Cowboy Steak with two sides for $32.   There was also a Berry Chicken Salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette Dressing for $14.  The vegetable of the day was Broccoli with Cheese.  Everything sounded so fantastic, so I splurged on the Alfredo special and ordered ranch dressing with my salad.

My salad was perfectly chilled with mixed greens, beets, green beans, cheese and croutons.  The dressing, a homemade ranch, was absolutely delicious and perfectly seasoned with ground pepper.  I checked out some of the orders passing from the kitchen to the tables where I noticed homemade noodles and stuffed Italian peppers.

I could sense my dinner was arriving as I smelled the creamy cheese sauce.  There were plenty of meat, vegetables and topped with fresh Parmesan cheese.  With so much food, I requested a take out box ahead of time, so I wouldn’t overeat and have leftovers for the next day or two.

Before leaving, I had the wonderful opportunity of meeting Sally, the owner of the restaurant.  She is the epitome of hospitality and what a fabulous cook.  She learned that I was interested in writing about The Farm and wanted to introduce herself to me.  I thanked her for the delicious meal and before I could pay my bill, she met me at my table with another package….she was so excited to share with me her pot roast and wanted me to try her notorious bread pudding.  I would have loved to have tried the meal at the restaurant, but I was quite full from my delicious meal.  I needed to make it back to Columbus and thanked her again for her generous hospitality.   While I didn’t have room for dessert, I was happy that I saved time for the sunset.

Ohio’s Amish Community: Boyd and Wurthmann Restaurant

30 July 201716 September 2024

Settling into a cozy booth at Boyd and Wurthmann Restaurant, I had worked up an appetite while shopping the local boutiques and waiting in line for twenty minutes for breakfast, but I knew it would be worth the wait since this is “where the locals eat”.

Before there was Boyd and Wurthmann, there was Hummel’s Market which operated from 1938 to 1945.  The market was purchased by Herman Wurthmann and Dayle Boyd and the converted the market into a restaurant in the 1950s specializing in Amish-style home cooking.

Browsing the menu, there was an endless selection of home cooked meals. From traditional breakfasts to meatloaf and mashed potatoes, it was possible I could spend another twenty minutes making my decision.

While I should have ordered a saIad, I finally selected the bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich on homemade bread and a side of thick cut, deep-fried onion rings.  Within minutes, my meal appeared and I couldn’t wait to bite into my perfectly prepared sandwich.

Boyd and Wurthmann lives up to its reputation of serving delicious, traditional meals for over 75 years, and you will want to save room for one of their 15 to 20  homemade, freshly-baked pies.   But don’t take my word for it.  You should visit this amazing Amish restaurant in the heart of Berlin, Ohio and bring cash because they don’t accept credit or debit cards.

Thank you for reading about my visit to Boyd and Wurthmann’s in Ohio’s Amish community and wishing you many Happy Travels!

Restaurant Information:

Boyd and Wurthmann
4819 East Main Street
Berlin, OH  44610
Telephone:  330 893 4000
