Nice looking restaurant. Nice waitress. But the food is basic, bland, like you’d get at a hospital or nursing home. If you like food with any ounce of flavor, avoid. We got the buffet for reference.

Absolutely one of the best restaurants! Food was amazing. Will definitely go back. Only complaint server was alittle slow but glad it was a Buffett didn’t have to wait for for food just drinks. Had a gift shop that was alittle high prices but bakery was great! Can’t wait to try cookies!Parking: Lots of parking spots
Simple food, but tasted good. The bakery looked amazing, and the buffet was smallish but entirely sufficient. The ice cream bowl at the end was perfect to finish out the meal.

I got both my bridal shower cake, rehearsal dinner cake, and wedding cake from Der Dutchman, and I have to thank Ashley for doing the most phenomenal job on both, and being so wonderful to work with. People are still talking about how delicious our cakes were, but they were gorgeous too! My shower cake followed a plant theme, and it looked like it was out of a magazine, it was so beautiful. Our rehearsal dinner cake was decorated with the prettiest pink roses, and I told Ashley what my vision was for my wedding cake, and she executed on it perfectly. Der Dutchman was a no brainer when it came to choosing cakes to celebrate these special moments - their quality is unmatched!

First time here and was perfect! Great food (had Breakfast Buffet), huge room for everyone, service was the highlight our server was truly amazing! traveled from North Port, FL and it was worth the drive, will definitely be back! Great job Der Dutchman!
The food wasn't good (except the rolls) and there was a very small selection available (during lunch). I expected so much more for the amount I had to pay and was let down greatly.

A nice family style restaurant with wonderful home cooked dishes. I’ve been twice from Tampa and even considered driving there for just a meal. The ingredients are all organic and all the options are endless. If you enjoy vegetables, home style recipes, and delicious sweet’s please give this place a try.

It is always a great place to go for friendly service, clean facilities and perfect comfort food! If fried chicken, mashed potatoes and bread pudding are your thing, you’ll think you died and went to heaven. The salad bar is large and fresh too!The bakery and gift shop are must stops! Upstairs is the gift shop and they even offer free boxing and gift wrapping! All the staff are exceptionally friendly and welcoming.This place is worth a trip!
