There are a lot of bad buffets in the world: lunch buffets with sorry salad bars and breakfast buffets with rubbery pancakes and dry eggs. Dinner buffets with a little bit of everything, none of which is all that good. Mrs. Yoder’s Kitchen in Mt. Hope, however, is none of these things. This buffet in Ohio Amish Country features a delicious spread with as many mouthwatering mains as you could possibly desire, which, when combined with the epic dessert menu, is the kind of place sure to satisfy your every culinary craving. Pack your bags and prepare to experience one of the best buffets in Ohio.

Editor’s Note: The original article made mention of a “dessert buffet” at Mrs. Yoders; while there is a massive buffet and dessert selection, there is not a dessert buffet. We apologize for any confusion.

Nestled in the heart of Ohio Amish Country, Mrs. Yoder's Kitchen is a longstanding favorite attracting folks from all across the state in search of a hot, home-cooked meal.
