Das Dutchman Essenhaus

Waitress was so nice and friendly . Always filled our drinks and provides top quality service! I'm from CALI so I really loved the food and family style environment. AWESOME PLACE! 

There food is amazing!! Love their Pot Pies ! They give you very big portions . Come hungry! Their shops are filled with neat nick-nacks too.

During the summer take a couple days off... Shop in shipshewana, see the Thursday night cruise in, and enjoy all different dine in options! Also, stay at the Inn it's beautiful! :)

The service was excellent. The buffet was very typical nice salad bar but canned corn in this part of the country . The desert was good.

Great restaurant , bakery & gift shop ! Try their meat loaf Manhattan! Hop on a horse & buggy ride.

What else can you say about the Essenhaus? It's truly a destination. Spend the day in the Midwest countryside. You'll never regret it

Broasted (fried) chicken and all the sides are great

Everything is amazing here, especially their beef and noodles

Baked steak is a must! Abi (Abigail) is a wonderful server--super genuine and sweet.

I always go for the Beef and Noodles soooooooo yummy

Buffet is fantastic! Great staff cute little gift shop

Recommend eating here only if you can't muster the strength to open a can of food and heat it up yourself. That is basically the quality of the food here. #moveAlong #overRated

Try the buffet so you can sample a little of everything

Do the buffet . Leave room for the chocolate pudding .

delicious family style with fried chicken and corn !!

All their food is fantastic. Don't miss the bakery while you are there!

Get the buffet . If you don't leave stuffed, you're doing it wrong!

Old Fashioned Cream Pie . Not as good as my grandma's "sugar cream" pie , but definitely DEE-licious! Order it warmed.

Pie , Pie , Pie , Pie ....food is also good but...PIE !

Real good chicken and super nice servers!

Wonderful food! Restaurant style has more realistic portions.

Get the roast beef . Promise. Best food I ever ate. Almost cried. Every time...

Apple butter and fresh bread is delicious.

Buffet is delicious and the staff were extremely nice!

The cleanest restrooms I’ve ever seen!

Didn't have a problem today with my credit card. Lunch was delicious.

Don't be discouraged by the wait, it is usual way shorter than what they estimate.

Always delicious. Not a bad item or dessert in the listing.

Order holiday pies in advance

Get the fresh blueberry pie . Probably the best piece of pie I've ever had.

Eat at the counter if it’s a long wait for a table

great place food excellent

We ate family style . My two year old refused to eat (he just woke up and was grumpy) they refused to let us take his phone home. We are staying at the hotel so it's not like he can eat later at home.

When you get take out ... Order extra for dinner the next night!

Best broasted chicken !

Well , they don't kick you out for being vegetarian , but you *are* looked upon with mild pity. The noodles still rock, though, and the lemon meringue pie is reason to live. Read more

Everything was wonderful!

The chicken is so awesome that it should be a felony to eat it.

It's all good!

Our favorite restaurant in the Shipse area.
