Der Dutchman Restaurant

BIG disappointment!  Bland, bland, bland.  After all the hype I had heard for years I expected so much and was dashed to the ground.  And to round it off, a sticky table.  Save your gas.

This place is awesome. I love the food and the staff is top notch. It's one of those places that is out of the way for me but since the food is so great I don't mind the drive getting there.

The bakery should a have a sign at the door saying crackery!!!!  I've never had anything that tasted so good that mom didn't make.

Two thumbs up....wait this is a restaurant not a movie review!!!!

This place is enormous and has quite the business.   In addition to the restaurant, there is an excellent bakery attached along with a crafts & novelties store.   Tons of parking spaces available, but you may have to walk a little.   They do have a drop-off / pick-up place for those not as mobile.  You will have a wait ahead of you when visiting at peak times, but they have a comfortable lobby or you can browse the bakery or crafts store to pass the time.

The dining experience was top notch.   I had family in from out of state.  We went for the buffet option so to sample many of the different down-home cooking, comfort food menu items.  You can order entrees from the menu as well.  The salad bar is quite large and can be a whole meal in itself.  Loved it!   Plenty of main and side dish options.  I enjoyed the turkey.  Mashed potatoes were really runny, but the noodles were tasted like homemade.  Prices were quite reasonable.  Great place to take the family.  Service was friendly and good.

Okay ... if you are dieting ... AVOID the bakery!   WOW!   Bismark's and doughnuts alone will destroy best laid plans!   We took one of their home made pies home and shared it.  It was delicious.  

This spot is located in Plain City.  So, it may be a bit of a drive for some.  However, it is well worth the trip, have a delicious dining experience and terrific way to create some family memories.
