“Dutch Family Market is one of those reliable local spots that perfectly balances value, taste, and comfort. It’s our go-to destination for a laid-back weekend brunch.

The menu isn’t fancy, but that’s exactly its charm. Everything is hearty, well-prepared, and offered at a great price point.

The grilled chicken is my personal favorite, though the breakfast platters are always a solid choice when you’re after something classic and satisfying.

With its welcoming atmosphere and dependable quality, Dutch Family Market never disappoints.“

“This has been my go to reasonably price steak place. I have had everything from 200 dollar steaks all the way to 10 dollar steak and eggs. This longhorn was consistently good, and on the rare occasion it wasn't right they fixed it. The quality of the cooking has become a bit of an issue, it's a coin toss lately, they are still willing to fix it, I just wish they didn't have to fix it. I'm still going because it is an awesome deal, even with the price hikes, and the staff is great. This is not meant to be a bad review, like I said I still go there, just an observation and one that is fixable.“

“It was a wonderful experience by chance to visit this restaurant! The food was great 😊 & service very good!! We haven’t been here in quite a while but it’ll be on our list from here on out!!😋🥙🍲🍔🥪🍰🍩🍪“

“its a hole in the wall cafe within a business plex, but oh my goodness are they terrific! Food is a little on higher side price wise, but wow, the ingredients are so fresh! It really doesn't get any better for take out. And the service is very good as well! Will definitely be back!“

“While we usually enjoy going to Applebee's, this most recent experience left a bit to be desired. While the service was excellent, the food left us a bit flat. My tomato soup had an overdose of cheese and there was a metallic taste to the soup. The garlicy green beans were dry and missing seasoning and the pasta was dry and missing enough sauce to complete the dish. Usually we don't have any complaints, but felt that something may have been of that evening.“

“We had an amazing time here! The food (we ordered buffalo chicken dip and BBQ wings) was delicious and the gameplay was really enjoyable. We played two rounds and despite the freezing weather, we were comfortable with the overhead heaters. I had a great time and would absolutely recommend for big groups!“

“Great food and service all the time.“

Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the cuisine. The customer service was outstanding, and Liz, the manager, demonstrated remarkable professionalism and assistance throughout the process. It was an absolute pleasure collaborating with her. I intend to utilize Crisp and Juicy's services for my future events.“

“Great food and service, but disappointed that they have been out of AC for two months. They need to tell their customers at the door before they are seated.

I get the bacon, egg, and cheese on white bread sandwich and it is super filling, always fresh/hot, and they don’t take long to make it! The service is fast and friendly. This is definitely a regular go to for breakfast!“

Our check in was a great experience, too. Devon was pleasant, friendly and professional!

Highly recommend this Holiday Inn crew!“

“Yummy and fresh. My kid gave thumbs up and he’s not a burger lover- that says a lot. Husband also liked it. Had the classic. Service was great. She was kind and friendly. Will return to try other burgers and fries. Hope this place pops and stays. Forgot to take a picture of my burger bc I was hungry and finished it off quickly. Price matches quality.“

“Loved this place. The atmosphere, food and most of the drinks were great. Victoria, the barista, knew her coffee and it showed in the drinks. Great place to hangout, chill or go out on a date.“
