Gingerich Dutch Pantry

One of the best buffets I've ever had. Everything was fresh and delicious- the fried chicken may be the best I've ever had. The mashed potatoes and gravy were to die for, the desserts were incredible and obviously made from scratch. I'd travel the hour and a half again just to eat here. Last but not least, our server was a ROCK STAR! She was so busy with a full room, but still very kind and attentive. This is a special place.

The buffet looked pretty good with fried chicken, juicy roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, corn, green beans, beefy noodles, and full salad bar along with cinnamon gooey cake and cheesecake brownies (not to mention soft serve ice cream). But I didn't want to eat so much that I'd be miserable so I had a half order of hot open faced roast beef sandwich. The roast beef was so tender that I used a spoon! The beef was definitely the star. The bread and potatoes were good. The gravy was pretty decent. It was the perfect amount of food. The coconut cream pie had the best, flaky crust. The coconut and pudding had great flavor. I prefer my whipped cream to be sweeter but the consistency was delicious. I can't wait to return. Oh yeah, you must go next door to the bakery!!!! Their cinnamon rolls are to die for! And jalapeño cheesy bread is some of the best I've ever had. And the pumpkin whoopie pie was delightful--I really loved that. I may come back just for a trip to the bakery.

It was okay. Nuthin' I'd write home about. Salad bar was the best part. Everything else was eeh ‍. Wouldn't go back if I were close by.

Really good bakery right next to the restaurant. 100% would recommend if you are passing through

You will always have a good meal at the Gingerich Dutch Pantry. This place is my go to restaurant when I am in Jamesport. The food is always delicious and what I really like about this establishment is the ability to choose, there is a buffet and a menu so you have a choice every time you go. The servers are very friendly as well. I have no complaints which is a rare occurrence 5/5~ MP

Great Mennonite Restaurant! Everything is cooked freshed and made by hand. Fried Chicken and Turkey right off the buffet was the best. Everyone loved the Broccoli Salad. They have the best Gooseberry Pie which is a regional flavor, extremely tart wild berry not for everyone as it's an acquired taste but if your searching for it, definetly stop here.

Good home cooking! They have a buffet, which my family loves. I prefer to order off the menu. Every time we've been here it's been good. The fish is yummy, along with the fried chicken!

I had the tenderloin sandwich, which was overcooked and dry. The fries were bad. It tasted like they hadn't changed oil in fryer for a while.My girlfriend had the hot roast beef, which she didn't like either. We ordered from the menu because the buffet looked really dry.

We love fried chicken and this is definitely one of the best. The side dishes are numerous and all delicious as well. There is a dessert that is included in the buffet price. Personal favorite is the broccoli slaw: delicious. This is definitely a hungry man's place.

Bought some beautiful flowers at Auction on Friday (4/19) and needed some lunch. Stopped at this spot about 12:30 and were seated in about 5-10 minutes. (Please note: this is a very small town in NW MO that's been here a long time so don't expect KC Light District decor or food choices; they are not kosher, halal or vegan.) Offer an all you can eat buffet or menu order but we (3) were all craving fried chicken & fixings so opted for $13 buffet with ice teas. Fried chicken, pulled pork, macNcheese, mashed potatoes, white/cream gravy, corn, green beans, extensive salad bar, soft serve ice cream and three different dessert choices. Pulled pork wasn't real flavorful (I didn't add barbecue sauce) and mashed (real) potatoes were flavorful but a bit watery were the only dings. Fried chicken was incredibly juicy & tender with perfect crispy skin crunch (lightly floured, not dipped in batter), gravy was rich & creamy, corn & green beans were southern style and macNcheese was the real deal. Lettuce-type salad additions offered with 4-5 salad dressing options, as was broccoli salad & potato salad. Desserts were three different sheet pans of flavors: carrot cake, pumpkin pudding cake & frosted cookie cake. Waitress kept our ice teas filled, promptly removed emptied plates and knew just when to bring check. Buffett & ice teas for three totaled $50 (left cash tip) and couldn't eat dinner!
