Der Dutchman - Sarasota

Thought I was back in Lancaster, PA Amish country. Good Dutch/German cooking. Wonderful breakfast buffett.

Since we always order the buffet, the only service to evaluate is beverages

My husband and I were in Sarasota for the weekend and this is the one thing he wanted to do! After looking at much reviews we decided that this would be the best spot for breakfast. We weren't able to make it in on time but lunch was everything we expected! The meatloaf was the best I've ever had! Our server was named Yennifer and she was a true delight, she was very kind and attentive. We were able to purchase a dozen of their fresh made donuts and a pistachio muffin as well as a apple pie. Our kids are going to be ecstatic when they taste the natural flavors. The glaze donut practically falls apart and melts in your mouth and has such a soft dough to it.

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.

Very clean restaurant with oh my God good food! I believe the best food I've ever had. Buffet is $17.49 each, but worth every penny!
