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.
