overview

Specializing in warm hospitality, Indiana’s largest and friendliest family-style restaurant and bakery serve authentic recipes passed through the generations. Enjoy a family-style dinner of traditional Amish Country favorites, complete with a beverage and a generous slice of made-from-scratch pie (over 30 varieties are available each day). For lighter appetites, select options from the menu or take advantage of the bountiful buffets.


The Village Shops showcase specialty gift items, souvenirs, apparel, home décor and so much more. The charming Essenhaus Inn & Conference Center offers 89 spacious guest rooms with all the amenities along with a complimentary breakfast. All are within easy walking distance in a park-like setting.
