Widely known for made-from-scratch cooking featuring foods that celebrate the Amish and Mennonite traditions of the Midwest, the first Der Dutchman Restaurant opened 54 years ago in the small, rural town of Walnut Creek. Expanding over time, in 1985 the family-owned company opened a Der Dutchman Restaurant in the Amish community of Pinecraft, located within Sarasota.
In addition to a varied menu, Der Dutchman Restaurants continue to serve traditional foods including broasted chicken, noodles, dressing and real mashed potatoes, all of which are included on the hot buffet at Der Dutchman Restaurant in Sarasota. Visitors can get the buffet and salad bar or choose from the menu, and it is recommended to save room for a slice of pie or a freshly made pastry from the onsite bakery.
