Der Dutchman Sarasota

Our server was funny and charismatic. Great food. We had the buffet and the selection of food was excellent. Everything was delicious.

Update visit #2
Another great visit to Der Dutchmen. The food was great as was out server. I am the curious type so I always ask the Amish servers about their culture and ways of life. They are super nice and put up with my curiosity. Thanks for the great meal and great service.

Food was just like good old Pennsylvania Dutch food. Taylor was a GREAT waitress. The buffet was great and the option to either choose from the buffet or ordering a meal off the menu is awesome. The dinner buffet was $14.99 for an adult and the menu options were very affordable as well.

Great customer service all three times for lunch and dinner we have been there. Love the selection but also agree there is room for more(whole station). Everything we had was delicious and we made sure to try everything from that hot station ???? It was clean and organized through out the whole experience there. We can’t compare it to anywhere. We are now planning on going to breakfast. We love variety and comfort food. We will post our inputs then. Blessings to all.

Everything was delicious. We all had the buffet and it was wonderful. Salad bar was super fresh, great selection. The entrees and side choices were sumptuous comfort food. There was something for everyone. The ice cream was tasty and the piece of coconut cake was other wordly. Fantastic place.

Food was really good. Handicap accessible with the option to pickup/drop off right at the door. I was in a party of six (6) and waited no more than 5 minutes to be seated, during a full house.

I opted for the buffet over the dinner option since there was only about $1.50 difference. This way, instead of only one (1) option, I had many.

Although very busy, our waitress was very nice and prompt with beverage refills and clearing of dirty dishes. My family tried a little bit of everything and were all impressed with the quality.

I would have given five (5) stars, however, I'm a stickler for appropriate prices and options. While the buffet offered more options (minus biscuits/bread), I feel $15 for a buffet compared to $13.50 for a meal is a bit off. Perhaps with more dessert options and the offer of a roll of some sort would really make all the difference. For the meal, I would get main with two sides and bread. For buffet, I get additional salad bar with no bread and really only cake as a dessert. Perhaps a pie or custard option?

Comparing meals to buffet, you still get the better deal, as long as you can actually eat two plates and a small dessert. Drinks are not included with either the adult or children's buffet options, however refills are free.

Overall this was an excellent dining experience and if we were ever back in the area looking for a good place to sit and eat, this would be top of the list.

There is plenty of parking, handicap access, restrooms, gift shop, and even a banquet area.
