    I traveled to the tiny town of Newton Kansas, braving improper directions from my GPS and a non-existent 3G signal to try one of the few remaining German meals in the city. I got about what I was expecting - the type of place where young and old gather to summarize their week. Even the food had a more homey feel than you might expect; instead of large amounts of wursts, schnitzel, and rouladen dominating the menu, most of the options from the small buffet were simple things based around bread, sauerkraut, and potatoes. The stuff of sustenance. There were a few surprises of technical merit, beginning with the verenika - a dumpling of cottage cheese covered in ham gravy - and ending with the bohne beroggi - a different kind of dumpling stuffed with a sweet pinto bean-based mixture and covered in a vanilla cream. Trying to search for information on the verenika reaches a dead end by Page 1 of the results, and any mention of the beroggi is so scarce that I would have thought The Breadbasket made it up. Though if I was going to make up a fake German dessert, I would probably give it a name that's easier to pronounce. Dinner at The Breadbasket is not what most people would think of when they hear "German buffet" - you're not exactly walking into a beer hall with polka playing and lederhosen flying. But that's okay, because the restaurant excels where many buffets fail - they limit their menu and stick to the things they can cook the best.

    Newton is of serious need of good breakfast restaurants - with light options, not heavy greasy truck stop slop. My daughter and I walked into the breadbasket took one look at the buffet - then literally walked right back out. The buffet had all the normal items of what you would see at a "free hotel breakfast meal". It smelled and looked terribly greasy. The woman behind the counter was very nice, and seeing how hesitant we were, asked if she could be of assistance. I explained that we were wanting a lighter breakfast, that none of the items on the buffet we felt we could eat without having a major gut ache. Her response was that we could just eat the fruit. Well, she's right we could, but we did not. I could not handle the fried old grease smell. Epic Fail. I was so wanting the Breadbasket to be better!

    The food was much different then when I lived in Germany, but it was great none the less. It tasted great, the prices were good, and the staff is friendly. It is definitely worth the drive for some good eats!

    Great food, great homemade pies and breads. A good representation of the ethnic food in the area. This is not High German, but rather Low German in this area with a substantial population of many different types of Mennonites. You might see people who know each other running into each other here and having a really good conversation. Highly suggest going here, one of the best restaurants in Newton. (try the cafe in Durham Kansas for a similar experience). I'm sure this restaurant is not up to Les's standards (who has evidently reviewed many restaurants in Newton), but a small town needs to be appreciated for a small town, and this is a fabulous restaurant! To really understand this restaurant, you have to understand the culture. There is not as much emphasis on materialism, but there are two things you can count on: great food and quality relationships between people.

    #206 Since our mother's sponsors are of German descent, it made sense that they took us to The Breadbasket tonight for our last dinner in Newton. We dropped by around 6PM, Friday evening, and the place was just picking up its pace for the night. The line was a tad long at the cash register, but our party just stood to the side and waited. Once we were all paid for ($11.49 per adult), we hopped into the line and grabbed trays and utensils. Because I'm vegetarian, I was a bit dismayed at the options. However, I made do with what I could at the salad bar. I went for the egg salad, pasta salad, and sauerkraut. I was also definitely excited that I was able to try the verenika because our sponsor had told us about them just the day before. Most everything else had meat in it, however, I'm sure they were all delicious. We were able to commandeer an 8-person table for ourselves, which was positioned right next to the soda machine. The cups were clean and the soda wasn't watered down. They had napkins for us at the table, which was nice, because the trek between the seating area and the buffet line is a bit up there. The food itself tasted authentically German, with copious amounts of butter and oil. The first batch of verenika that I was able to sample was absolutely delicious. Chewy, yet crispy skin, with a good -sized dollop of cottage cheese inside each one. I loved that the cottage cheese solidified a bit in the frying process and came out with a tougher consistency than it would have otherwise. The salad bar items I picked up were fine, though not incredible. The pasta salad was heavily doused in dressing and the sauerkraut wasn't hefty enough for my liking. However, it tasted just right in terms of sourness. Overall, I had a great evening with my family and my mother's sponsors. But, I couldn't see myself returning for another German cafeteria-style feeding.

    Visiting from Kansas City. Tried The Breadbasket on Saturday morning for the breakfast buffet. Plenty of fresh fruit, which I quickly bypassed for the "good stuff." The ham slices were incredible, I dug to the bottom of the pan for the ones soaking up in the juice. The pancakes are heavy and taste like cake. The french toast is just a fried piece of their homemade cinnamon bread. Their biscuits are small and flaky. You can douse them in sausage gravy or choose one of their homemade jellies to slather on them. Did I mention the cinnamon rolls. Not too big or overpowering with cinnamom and icing. Just perfect. Their prices vary to match your appetities. Mini One Time......$3.99 Small One Time....$5.49 Large One Time....$6.99 All You Can Eat.....$7.79 I got the "All You Can Eat" this time to make sure that I wouldn't miss out an anything. Next time, the Large One Time should be enough to accomodate everything I want to taste. We plan to swing by tomorrow for the Sunday lunch buffet. If you're in town during the week, they offer a traditional German buffet. Also, they have an entire "market" of homemade breads, pies, cookies, pastries, rolls, etc. You can buy anything and take it home with you.

    Went down for the German buffet on a Friday night. Now, having never had German food before, I didn't know what to expect. It was really heavy, except for the cucumber dill salad, which was light and fresh. The thing that stood out to me was the verenika and went back for seconds. I know it doesn't have to do with the food, but their fountain drink dispenser was all messed up... my Dr Pepper was undrinkable. The main focus here was definitely on the food, as the tables were small, chairs uncomfortable and lighting decidedly on the florescent side.

    Great buffet on Sunday, good sandwiches, and awesome pies. The buffet on Sunday is always fresh, with plenty to pick from. Reminds me of good home cooking. The pies are great, always a winner to take home and serve for company.

    Great restaurant and service, I especially appreciate everything was made from scratch. The soups were just a little salty for my tastes but overall I had a great experience and will return next time I am in town.

    Have eaten at The Breadbasket many times for lunch. Typically you can order a soup or a sandwich with soup, also an option to come back to soup bar for unlimited soup sampling. Soups are very good on the soup bar. Typically there are some homemade bread loaves for slicing with whipped butter on the bar you cut yourself. Sandwiches are just okay, small with always a side of plain potato chips. If you want a soda you get those your self, The Breadbasket is pretty much self-serve. The pies and homemade baked good are really great. The main problem is The Breadbasket is a bit expensive for what you get.

    When I come to Newton I like to eat here. Newton has a strong German influence, and this is the one place in town that specializes in serving the traditional "comfort food" of the German immigrants who settled in the area. The breads and deserts are my favorites. The sausage is good too.

    I ate lunch here today. It was ok. Nothing special. The soup was disappointing...looked a little too yellow for cheese soup and had no flavour. The tuna sandwich wasn't bad. I'd get something else if I ever decide to go eat lunch here again.

    i would highly recommend not going to the breadbasket in newton, kansas!! they are a rip off!! food is good but service sucks!! i paid for a regular buffet but could only eat a petite and no refunds!! also depending on who you deal with there for a $10 you only get salad and soup no pie or dessert unless you are either an older folk or your a regular there because people were getting free pies left and right rather they ordered petite or regular buffet meals!! i was going to buy some homemade butter, jelly and bread!! but never again will i go there!!

    Traveling north out of Wichita yesterday, I needed to grab a bit to eat. I always try to find someplace that is not a chain and has good local flavor. I stopped in Newton Kansas and found The Breadbasket there on Main Street. It was just what I was looking for. The Breadbasket is a local place, not a fancy place, but like one I grew up in around rural central Kansas. Nice folks, really good food, and one of my favorites as a kid.. Bierocks!! They were really good too.. Staff was very accommodating and made you feel comfortable. A place to stop that's a little off the highway, but a place you can feel comfortable stopping at. Definitely will be back next time I come through.

    My husband and I stopped by while running an errand in Newton. Seeing that the restaurant had a crowd, we were very excited to try out the food thinking it was going to be great! We chose the buffet, which was about $11-13/person I think. Unfortunately we both found the food to be extremely bland. Literally, everything tasted the same, no flavor at all. On the upside the dessert was pretty good, but very rich. So my advice would be if you want a meal, go somewhere else, but the dessert might be worth a try.

    Delicious breads and beautiful pies greet you at the door. The Breakfast Buffet is built for lingering, the soups and bread buffet for lunch makes you want to try it all. And it's a great people-watching venue, too!

    Good old fashioned german food. Reminded me of what my Grandmother used to cook. Ham gravy and verenika as well as their fried potatoes and chicken borscht. They have a german buffet on Friday and Saturday's I believe.
