Der Dutchman

I love this place! I have always disliked bread pudding until I tasted the bread pudding here. It is simply amazing! I cannot get enough of it. All of the food is wonderful and the service is great as well. They have a wonderful bakery and gift shop right there in the store. The fry pies are also amazing as well.

Omg one of the absolutely best meals I have ever had in my life. The buffet was beyond amazing and delicious. Best fried chicken I can say I have ever had, the most amazing baked ham, and the banana cream pie was so delicious I couldn’t stop ✋. Our server Megan has been there 20 years and I can clearly see why. She was the most pleasant, attentive, informative and friendly waitress I have had in a very long time. She made a great experience even better. I have read many reviews about the chicken being dry and tasteless! I have no idea where they went but the best fried chicken I have ever had. This place was well worth the 2 1/2 hour drive to go there. I will definitely be back.

I visited Der Dutchman on my final day of my vacation recently. I wish I would have found it earlier in the trip because I would have gone every day. It is hard to put adequate words to how well done this restaurant/gift shop/ bakery/ venue hall. It is a massive operation but you don't feel like that when you enter. You are made to feel welcome and part of the family. The breakfast buffet was $16.95 and was an excellent value. Everything was fresh and delicious. The cold food was cold, the hot food was hot. The staff is attentive and friendly. I plan on staying at their hotel on the same property as The Carlisle Inn during my next trip to Sarasota. Highly recommend this business 💖

This Restaurant- Gift Shop has a long buffet on the first. There are many traditional food choices. You can also just grab and go. The second floor has many choices of gift idea's to choose from. They even had soft pajamas for adults to wear. The parking is free and l saw all ages having fun. I will go again

Love this big Amish restaurant, buffet, bakery, coffee, and gift shop. It's got clean restrooms, and the food here is always very good. There are so many people that come here that the buffet is constantly being refreshed. Prices in May 2023 - $17.49 for lunch buffet and $18.49 for dinner buffet. You can also order just the salad buffet, or off the menu as well. What you need to know... You need to ask for complimentary rolls (which come with buffet and meals,) as well as cranberry sauce and soft serve ice cream, which also comes with the buffet. Stop at the bakery on your way out for fresh pies and baked goods, fudge, and coffees. They sell jars of their apple butter and a whole bunch of jams, pickles, etc. It's a fantastic Amish place that we enjoy every time we pass through town.

I have heard about this restaurant for years and we were finally able to try it for a late lunch. It was fantastic! The dining area is very spacious and decorated in a home style traditional way. The server was very nice and advised us on which dishes to order. I had Turkey and my husband had chicken plate. Both were excellent and the portions were huge. The food came right out and it was delicious. The buffet is very large and the prices reasonable. The restaurant is known for it bakery and the peach pie was wonderful. Even the iced tea was tasty. Afterward we browsed the gift shop for presents for the grandkids. It was a delightful experience and we highly recommend this all American great dining experience.
