Yoder's Restaurant & Buffet

Fairly good dining experience for us. Food was very good. However, we probably won't come back here for the breakfast buffet. We both felt it was not as good as the massive buffet nearby in comparison. Service was great! Our server was very attentive and pleasant. One question I had was why the drinks were not included in the buffet?

Yoder’s offers both all-you-can-eat and menu options, with plenty of food if you’re not a picky eater. However, I wasn’t impressed with the selection. The corn fritters were disappointing, the prime rib was just okay, and salad bar missing items which made the offerings feel a bit lacking. The desserts were also a letdown: while there were plenty to choose from, many were dry or just had no flavor. It’s clear the place is popular with locals, but I found the atmosphere unwelcoming. The staff was friendly, which I appreciated, but overall, I wouldn’t eat here again.

The food is nothing fancy but all comfort!! Our server Krista was friendly and very attentive even with her being super busy. The brisket, ham balls, fried chicken is a must try!! Highly recommend.

Wooooahhhhhh!!!! This place has got THEE BEST DARN FOOD IN P.A.!!!!! I TRIED THE BIG ONE DOWN THE ROAD.. nope not even close, one the place is much cleaner, fresher, and down right better food . Yummmmmmmm

Stopped here to eat before thrifting in Lancaster. Everybody was so nice and I got my own little pot of coffee. My daughter and I really liked the buffet.

We decided to take a nice drive through Amish Country on our way home from a conference in DC. Obviously, we wanted to stop for lunch! We found Yoders via Google Maps and thought it looked like a fun place to try! When we turned I to the parking lot, we realized that the Yoders own the entire complex and have a restaurant, country store and craft store! We checked out some of the crafts but really made a bee line for the restaurant. When we got in, the place was very underwhelming. Very basic and plain. But the people were super nice and service was decent. It also looked like a lot of locals stoped for the Sunday brunch which was cool. Sunday brunch includes both breakfast and lunch options at an all you can eat buffet. The food was very hit or miss. Some of it was excellent, some mediocre, a few things were terrible. They had multiple grill stations going for everything from omelets to pancake to corn fritters! The only thing that was a bitter disappointment was the the sweet rolls/breads. And there weren’t any desserts! I would say, overall, it was very middle of the road. Def worth trying, but we wouldn’t make any special effort to go back. With that said, if you’re in the area and hungry, check this place out. If you leave hungry…. Well that’s on you!

It's a great experience at a local all you can eat buffet. Little smaller than usual a lot of locals come in who know the servers by name. The MTO grill in the back is a nice touch I had a good steak. I love the make it yourself ice cream station as well.

Sorry I drove 2&1/2 hr each way. Only thing good was Nichole the server she was excellent. List of complaints: buffet is tiny, most food was cold ( broccoli cauliflower, baked chicken), fish salmon under cooked, kid on grill didn't seem to know what he was doing, some of chicken was under cooked. Flys were bad. Don't feel this food was Amish cooked homemade including deserts, everything basically came from can or box for most part. The beets were good and I tried and found I like the ham balls. The kids cleaning tables don't move anything just wiped around stuff. Water glass was all sticky. Booths are very cramped. Two women working up at register hostess area younger taller one with tattoos used very unprofessional language and comments that the public could here several booths away. Bathrooms way cleaner than expected or compared to shady maple which are always disgusting. Shrimp were very tiny. Some of food seemed like it had been sitting for hours. This place is definitely a one and done! The price is way more than shady maple for way less! Honestly wanted to leave after going up to buffet the 1st time. Oh yes they had party of like 30 come in and then there were no plates and line for food.
