This is a First!

After sitting in this chair responding to customers complaints and compliments for four and a half decades, I thought I had seen it all. I was wrong. Read on.

Dear Amish Acres Restaurant,

My husband and I attended your Amish Acres Festival yesterday.  I was so disappointed after driving for 2 ½ hours to find that the cost of the Thresher Dinner is 19.95!!  

Come on now.. seriously… who can eat $19.95 worth of fried chicken/taters / etc??        

I realize that the price of food keeps going up .. but that price is ridiculous.  Gas prices are outrageous enough, then to find out the food prices are extreme also......what a disappointment. 

We drove from Indy and the family style fried chicken restaurants around here charge only 16.95 to 18.95 for the same kind of meal.  I realize this is only a few bucks.. but it is enough to make me not buy your over-priced meal.  Why charge a person so much for something they cannot even consume?

Why not lower your price a little to make this an affordable meal???   I don’t pay that much for a steak dinner at an exclusive restaurant.   We did not eat at your restaurant-- but most assuredly would have had the price been more reasonable and more affordable for the average family.

Dear Confused

My goodness! In all my forty five years owning Amish Acres I have never had anyone scream at me before about the price of our Threshers Dinner without having eaten it or know what is included in the price or not have the price right: It is $18.95.
