From the reviews

I love the Fruit Yard restaurant took my there for her birthday we had the buffet all you can eat crab and shrimp every thing was excellent especially the our beautiful sever she does and excellent job. Really loved the abundance of food, best prime rib around the butterflyed shrimp was off the hook .

My husband and/or sister come to the Fruit Yard restaurant often, so thought I’d post about a few of our favorite menu items. If you go on Mondays, you can’t go wrong with their Homemade Corned Beef and Cabbage… the spices are perfect and so are the portions. Wednesdays they have their prime rib on special… very tasty.

Had a delicious brunch. Great service. Wish they had more of a variety to match what they charged. Dungeons crab was good but if you don't eat crab then you just paid $45 for something you could have gotten for way less in their restaurant. They had someone who made eggs the way you want, that was nice.

★★★★☆ — Lawana, Jul 2022

I took my family here for outing. We had dinner at the restaurant. The food was amazing, staff so friendly and the ambience was warm and welcoming. Prior to coming to dinner, I came to their Sunday breakfast buffet and it was the bomb. Food is homestyle delicious.

Getting married at The Fruit Yard

The Fruit Yard comes up for weddings, going by their listing and couples’ reviews. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
