The Dining Room

What a quaint place! It is definitely an atmosphere to relax in! The service was nice, the food was fabulous-​all home cooked and locally grown produce! The baked goods are Mennonite homemade and delicious! It is a hidden gem! I especially enjoyed all the antique tables and chairs, along with the dishes that reminded me of my grandma!

I hate to write bad reviews but. If this place is still open this time next year I’ll be amazed.
Just beautiful inside and nicely decorated and very clean. That’s the end of the good.
VERY DISAPPOINTING. … Breakfast was all I tried to get. I over ordered just to try some of the items on the menu. Prices that are 10 to 15% above normal for this area. $ 9.75 for a all meat 3 egg omelet. Ordered ½ order of biscuits and gravy and it was cold and out of a can. no idea of what eggs over medium should be. Cooked hard and cold. Hash browns that where more like leftover mashed potatoes and re-​cooked.
The homemade breakfast sausage was a tube of grease and gristle and just pork no spices.
And instead of toasting the bread, it was grilled on one side and tasted like the onions that where on the grill before.
All of this after a 40 minute wait with only about 10 people in the hole place.
If I could give this place a minus star’s it would be about –4 out of 5 … 1 for clean!

4 stars for breakfast… it’s the best one in town. The atmosphere is cozy, with real dining room furniture, antique dishes and teapots for décor, and lots of freshly baked goods. The tea is served in a real teapot with an antique teacup, with a choice of herbal and decaf teas.
The Mennonites that own the place are nice, and the food is very much like what they cook at home. Not much in terms of spices, kinda bland dinners for my taste, but I use a lot of spices and seasonings in my cooking. The majority of the others I’ve eaten with have really enjoyed it. The one exception is the nachos… like another reviewer said below, the gal I was with had two bites and pushed it away, saying it tasted sugary sweet.
I love meeting friends here for a nice cup of tea and either breakfast or a dessert. It’s a relaxed setting, so don’t go if you’re in a rush. But for anyone craving food like Grandma used to make, this is the place.

This is a new restaurant in town run by a menonite family. It is very charming in décor and has good home town food. We had ribs last night with with mashed potatoes– they were very good!

We stay at the Westpark Inn for business regularly, so we decided to give this new restaurant a try. Okay… so here is the skinny… what appears to be a home cooking based place, nice and cozy, staff kind of put off by the two of us, not friendly, other diners were apparently known and were treated with white glove care. Our service, although adequate, was just that, adequate. It seems by the looks of the delicious pastries for sale at the counter, that breakfast is their strong suit. We unfortunately went for dinner. The salad bar was not temperature controlled, or if it was, the ice had long since melted. I was going to have some of the macaroni salad, but upon bringing the spoon up and out of it, there was a very well defined darker scab like layer on top… yuck. I ordered the pork roast special.$ 12.00 plus 2 more for the salad bar. one piece of pork «jerky» 2 inch by 4 inch. Mashed potatoes were similar to hot tapioca pudding, slimy. Peas and carrots were dried out and shriveled on top, whole plate was lukewarm at best. No bread offered. Beverages served in cans? I attempted to eat the pork special, but with 3\4 of it still on my plate I pushed it to the side. companions panini. $ 10.99 with no fries! Total bill 32.00 for a plate of garbage, 1 small panini and two cans of diet cola… oops,.forgot the two hot salad bars. I would say that their niche must be breakfast, because the rest of what I saw delivered to other tables, was as bad looking as ours was. We paid and left, not wanting to hurt the Mennonite ladies feelings, even though we felt like aliens being waited on the whole time. Since it is a small town, we just didn’t want to cause a ruckus in the restaurant. If that meal had been brought to me in a larger city, I would have stood up and left. But hey, all the baked goods looked fabulous, should have ordered brownies for dinner!

New the last week of April 2015. The restaurant is owned and operated by Mennonites which is evident in the décor and excellent home cooked meals. The restaurant features a full breakfast menu (served all day) along with a nice selection of sandwiches for lunch. My wife and I ordered a ½ Focaccia Bread Panini intending to split it yet we still ended up bringing half of it home. The french fries they serve are homemade and they leave it to the customer to season them to taste, which we appreciated.
They are located on a side street off of M46 in Sandusky. They don’t have a sign at the road yet but you’ll find the connecting road on the North side of the highway, between the Westpark Motor Inn and Jerry’s Foodland. They are closed Sunday and Monday and may be contacted at 810−404−4040.
