Blue Gate Restaurant & Bakery

I had ordered a famous Amish fried chicken and it was not all that great. It was very greasy and over cook ( little burn). I had better fried chickens at Popeye.
I was very disappointed it was not cooked and served by Amish people.
It not worth the trip.

Surrounded by Amish kitsch, both on the road driving in and in the restaurant building.  But in the dining room, you find good service and fine food.  The fried chicken was amazingly juicy - perhaps even too much so; the breast (an inherently drier piece) was better than the somewhat fatty thigh - but that's a quibble.  This is pressure-fried chicken, so, though the spicing is different, it's strikingly reminiscent of what KFC original recipe chicken was like fifty years ago, when the Colonel was still making it himself.  To borrow the phrase that KFC isn't entitled to any more, it was finger-licking good!

Sides (I had applesauce, served as a salad course, and corn) also tasted fresh and genuinely home-made.

Gut-buster of a dinner.
If you leave this place and are still hungry, it is not because they didn't give you enough food...it's because you didn't eat it!

Meat & potatoes.
Dinner offerings are pretty much standard fare.  Pulled pork, turkey, chicken, meatloaf, etc.  All has been good grub

Filling, but not fancy.
Seeing as this sits in the middle of an Amish community, it fits.  Squeeze bottles of peanut butter/marshmallow fluff combination make this pretty evident.

Friendly, but not formal.
Ditto.

We should try breakfast sometime...That might get me up to a 4 star.
