Schwartz Family Restaurant

I already reviewed Schwarts but like happens commonly on Yelp that one mysteriously disappeared. So here we go again, only shorter. We had a great experience it's a ways off the main freeway but the drive is beautiful and worth taking, enjoy the scenery. Once inside it was clear this was where a lot of locals come for lunch, mostly workers, truckers, farmers, ranchers, craftspeople, etc. They all seemed to know each other which made it all the more inviting to us.Having lived in a few smaller towns we appreciate that community only a local restaurant can attract. The food was what I would call homestyle, good quality but not fancy, not overly presented or complicated. This is downhome food, well made that locals can enjoy every day. The prices were more than fair, and the service was friendly and helpful. Outside there is a playground for the kids and a pumpkin farm across the way too.

We had a great experience at Schwartz family restaurant. The food was fresh and overall a great experience. The service was quick and staff were helpful.

This is a bit off the road trip highway commute, but worth it if you like comfort food! It's about a total 10 min detour going there and back to the highway. Cafeteria style setup - you go through the line and pick your entrée, sides and desserts. You kinda need to have a plan before you start. Check the menu and decide if you are doing a dinner - entree with sides - or AYCE - a few bucks more but unlimited. I opted for unlimited because I knew I wanted a dessert and once I added that it was only a $4 difference. Let me tell you I made that $3 up in food! I was lucky there was a local in line by me and she gave me the scoop so I was prepared. I tried just about EVERYTHING (see picture of my plate lol). Here's my faves:-fried chicken, get a couple pieces, its that good-meatloaf, so moist and great flavor- mashed potatoes, perfect texture, buttery flavor- cheesy brocolli - delicious- mac n cheese, LOVED the sauce and it was a bit runny which I like- buttered noodles, LOVE the noodle and had a good flavor-coconut cream pie, amazing texture, best cream filling I've ever had!-bread slice with homemade peanut butter, so soft and warm and WOWThings that were good, but I wouldn't order again because, well see above lol- lasagna, heavy on cheesy, I prefer meaty- chicken and noodles/dumplings, kinda plain, not my preference- chocolate cake, was dry, I didn't finish it (I know I can't believe I'm even typing this lol!)Once you have your tray you pick a seat and eat. If you purchase all you can eat and want more but the line is full, don't worry employees come around to check on you and they will grab you an item so you don't have to wait again. Overall the stop is very efficient and tasty. The food is better than I even hoped! The service is friendly and helpful. One employee even offered to put runny items in their own bowls which I greatly appreciated! If you are driving by - STOP HERE!If you live nearby - GO HERE EVERY WEEK! I can't wait to be back in the area and come again. I'm already plotting my plate :)

Really enjoyed this stop on our road trip. It's great Amish cookin! I liked the buffet style of choices and food. Their chicken is great along with their sides. Definitely recommend if you're wanting a home cooked meal on the road.

Good food. Nice people Farm to table concept. Only problem is when there are "free range" children allowed to roam and scream by permissive parents. Sound echoes with concrete floors. For those who love pies my understanding is they're homemade.

This is a very very late but deserved review. I've been here twice with my husband several years ago and it had totally slipped my mind until I was in the area again years later that I needed to leave a review. The food was delicious and the service was even better. Very friendly great cozy at home like atmosphere. I loved everything about this place.

One of favorite places to eat anytime we are in the area. Good home cooking and the desserts are top notch

Amish buffet near Potoka Lake campground. Family run and very good. Cheapish food prices with flavorful food. Zero negative to say and will definitely return when camping in area.

Always good food and always clean. Family atmosphere with cute little gift shop of homemade goods.

This was our first time visiting and I was simply amazed at the food! some of the best southern cooking Ive ever had! The staff was so gracious and kind as well. definitely will return to this restaurant.
