Yoder's Restaurant
Yoder's Amish Restaurant
A longtime favorite in the Pinecraft Amish community since 1975, baking more than a hundred pies a day; its fried chicken is also famous.
Located at 3434 Bahia Vista Street in Pinecraft, the Amish and Mennonite vacation community, Yoder's was founded in 1975 by Levi and Amanda Yoder. 2025 marks its 50th anniversary. Each day, following Mrs. Yoder's original recipes, the restaurant bakes more than 100 pies in over 25 flavors. The most popular is peanut butter pie, and coconut and banana cream pies are also favorites. It has won local pie contests several times, and a food network once filmed a segment there. Full meals include hand-breaded, pressure-fried chicken, meatloaf, beef stew and Amish noodles. Open Monday to Saturday, 8:00 am–7:00 pm; closed Sundays. Lines are long in the mornings. Expect about $15–25 per person.
