Whereas on an in a single day keep at a treehouse in Amish County, we began off our time with a hearty lunch at Boyd & Wurthmann in Berlin, Ohio, which has been serving traditional Amish-style home-cooking since 1938. It began first as a grocery retailer earlier than changing into a full-service restaurant within the Fifties, and now the small, cash-only spot serves Breakfast, lunch, and dinner six days every week – an ideal introduction to the area!
Boyd & Wurthmann encompasses a small ready space within the entrance; a bunch will verify on teams and usher individuals inside to open tables or counter seats. The house appears to have remained comparatively unchanged through the years, and has the markings of a traditional American diner: drop ceilings, wooden paneling, sturdy cubicles, show circumstances loaded with pies.
We stopped in for lunch for some stick-to-your-ribs fare. I gravitated towards their specials just like the scorching roast beef sandwich: an overloaded sandwich with tender roast beef and a beneficiant scoop of mashed potatoes, all lined with gravy.
Or how about their signature noodles over mashed potatoes? It’s a bowl of mashed potatoes lined by noodles in gravy.
Boyd & Wurthmann makes a stable fried hen as nicely… with the requisite aspect of mashed potatoes (I’m sensing a theme right here).
The lunch and dinner menu additionally consists of burgers and sandwiches; Trail bologna; dinner plates with hen, roast beef, nation fried steak, fried ham; liver and onions; and extra.
However DO NOT LEAVE with out getting a slice of pie. The regulars will let you know that, the servers will remind you. Try the day’s choices on the wall, then order away.
We tasted a pair slices, like this coconut cream pie. Their slices are large, with sturdy custard and beneficiant toppings. They’re candy however not excessive.
Similar with the lemon meringue pie. Merely luscious!
Our server recommended the ho ho cake as nicely. It’s a chocolate cake that doesn’t have any proper being this good, topped with vanilla gentle serve. I might order considered one of these desserts even after breakfast.
I imply, what else can we are saying in regards to the place? I might completely make it a cease in the event you’re exploring Ohio’s Amish nation. It’s smack dab in the course of downtown Berlin, so you possibly can stroll round to the outlets and different eating places, too!
