Breitbach's Country Dining
About This Spot
Stepping into Breitbach's Country Dining is like being welcomed into a familiar farmhouse kitchen where the pace slows down just enough to savor the moment. Nestled comfortably in Sherrill, Iowa, this is a place where the warmth of small-town hospitality meets the satisfying simplicity of hearty, Midwestern fare. The atmosphere strikes a gentle balance—a room filled with the low hum of friendly chatter, the clink of glasses from the bar, and the inviting aroma of home-cooked meals, all set against a backdrop that feels both current and comfortably timeless.
The restaurant’s spacious, open dining area reflects its welcoming spirit, with ample room to gather around tables where stories and laughter naturally flow. It carries the relaxed charm of a local gem that prides itself on genuine connections—whether that’s between the staff and guests or across the buffet line where choices entice without overwhelming.
Here, the food is more than just sustenance; it’s an extension of the region’s honest approach to good eating. The buffet beckons with an array of thoughtfully prepared options, each slice of pie and helping of salad revealing a craft rooted in tradition yet open to simple, fresh surprises. Whether settling in for a plate piled with broasted chicken and savory meats or indulging in a slice of raspberry or hand-whipped peanut butter pie, the experience at Breitbach’s gently invites you to slow down and appreciate a moment of genuine comfort.
This is a place where the pace encourages lingering, where servers move with friendly attentiveness without the rush, and where the bar offers a variety of local brews to complement the meal and conversation. The environment carries echoes of childhood memories for some, and for others, it’s a steady reminder of community—a modern country dining experience that remains deeply rooted in the heart of Iowa’s local spirit.

Worth the trip every time. The buffet is my favorite thing within 100 miles of me. Plenty of meat and vegetarian options. Soup is always great. The salads are not the standard "everybody has this" mayo stuff. It's all great.

All the positive reviews are true. Nice ambience, great buffet reasonable priced and friendly service. And the pie is delicious.

Modern country restaurant with abundant seating and parking in a beautiful setting. Well worth the drive to support a locally owned & operated venue. Large bar area. Friendly, inviting and generous small town atmosphere. The buffet was well cared for, continuously cleaned & restocked. Only wish was for a few meatless options.

I had a lovely dinner buffet with my wife and my brother. It was a very good experience for us. The food was made fresh we can have as much we wanted. The atmosphere was very good country style which reminds me of my childhood.

The food and atmosphere here were amazing! The patty melt was very good and you can tell the burger was fresh. I'll be thinking about that raspberry pie for a while. It was sweet and tart, absolutely perfect. The owner was there and was the cashier at the bar and shook our hands. Don't forget to stop by the overlook before or after your meal!

This is such a great place on all levels!!! The scratch kitchen does EVERYTHING perfect!!! The paté on the salad bar was amazing. The buffet was well stocked, well attended to by staff and very fresh the entire time. The prime rib was perfect and the american fries were the best we have ever had (crispy just as requested)! The entire staff was so kind and worked very well together. Three (waitress, host and meal deliverer) checked on us to make sure everything was cooked as requested, tasted good and if we needed anything. Upon paying, the owner thanked us and wished us a great holiday season. You just do NOT find this engagement anymore. Well done and thank you!!!

Great place. Lots of history here. Wonderful staff and the price of food and quality is excellent for the price. If you have a date or a large family to feed, this place is hard to beat in quantity and quality. I highly recommend it. It also has an antique store to browse.
