Apple Holler

This place is gigantic! The cost to get in is a bit pricey even for the smallest bag. It does include a free train ride to the orchards, pony ride, corn maze, goat feeding and more. The restaurant was closed unfortunately, but will open "later in the year". It is an experience to go at least once. The apples were tasty and you are able to eat the apples while in the orchard. I made an apple pie from the apples...so good!

Makes me want to HOLLER! Perfect place for kids and adults. They offered pony rides, the jumpie pillows, corn maze and kids park. We loved trying all the different types of apples, the best part was apple cider donuts that were prepared in house and tasted so damn delicious. Honey crisp, gala, snow sweet, McIntosh, Jonathan, and empire. Tons of apples to choose from.

I visited this morning--first time since 2019. There have been major changes in how the restaurant operates. The breakfast buffet was a victim of the pandemic and is no longer available. The main dining area has been greatly reduced and is mostly a shopping section for their goods. The operations have changed. While it's still a sit down facility you need to order and pay at the hostess stand. I had a party of seven and I ended up typing up our orders on my phone only to go to the hostess stand to read off my order. It would be great if there was an app you could order from at your table. I was disappointed with the food and presentation. There are no more regular plates, silverware, and cups--everything is disposable. Most of our breakfast items arrived lukewarm or cool. Without tip we paid roughly $15/person which felt like a lot for the quality of food. The few people running food said they would be around with coffee for refills but never did (and any creamers and sugars are located by the hostess stand which is inconvenient) and we had to go back to the front for more. All of their bakery items still look wonderful but we passed on taking any home. Overall I miss how the restaurant previously operated and can't imagine coming back if this is anything but a short-term solution.

I'll write my review in light of the changes made due to the pandemic (ordering and paying at the host stand, disposable plates and utensils). The breakfast food was excellent. My party of four ordered three different breakfast entrees and everything was excellent. We bought some cheese, apple butter, and a few other things to cook with and while not having tried it all most of it has been excellent.

It's very expensive and the kids playground equipment is falling apart. They were very strict on the mask enforcing which is fine I guess but it was a little much. Also I went there willing to spend more money on like jams and what not but the price of admission mixed with almost no staff to sell anything made the experience pretty dull.

Requiring all adults to purchase a bag is a little much, we really only needed 2 but since there were 4 of us we had to get 4. Hoping they last the trip since we are from out of state. Overall, everyone liked it, kids played and we got some sweets before we headed out. Glad we added this to our road trip things to do.
