    Cuban Sandwich
    Mickey B.

    First visit to Dutch Valley and it was pretty good. We ordered a Patty Melt with fries ($12.99), Country Fried Steak with Mashed Potatoes and gravy ($14.75), Lemon Pepper Chicken with Mashed Potatoes and dressing ($16.99), and a Cuban Sandwich with fries ($13.49). Both the Country Fried Steak and Leominster pepper chicken came with dessert of rice pudding. The Patty Melt was thick and served on a beautiful Swirled toast. The fries were crisp and just right. The Country Fried Steak was served with two pieces of thinner but tasty steak. Mashed potatoes and gravy were good. The Lemon Pepper Chicken was a half chicken and it was tasty. The dressing was a bit too mushy but tasted fine. Cuban sandwich was delicious. We also had a cup of chili and a cup of cream of broccoli soup. The chili was tasty like Mom used to make. The cream of broccoli had a super light taste and could have used some Mrs. Dash. Rice Pudding is generally not my favorite but this one was tasty and I'm glad I ordered it. Our server was Donna and she did a good job. The dining room is fairly large with tables booths and some seating at the counter. Dining is all indoors and the dining room was decorated for Christmas. If you are in the area, this is a tasty place to stop.

    A super duper waitress!!

    Dutch Valley is simple straight forward, diner like hearty cooking. It was newly renovated and boasts enthusiastic meticulously placed/hung holiday homey decorations! Love them!! Four stars are for their pipping hot super delicious BROASTED chicken and beef liver perfectly medium cooked with Au jus, bacon and onions- - our regular meal which is served with good home made soups, a simple salad and choice of potatoes etc. Prices are amazing and most helpful for budget conscious folk. This is exactly the type of supper my folks would have loved- - frugal, plentiful and satisfying. Waitresses are old fashioned fun, talkative and caring. Some of the ' old timers ' are especially colorful and fun to chat with. They know us for we have been coming for this meal for over 4 years. Enjoy!

    Great diner for breakfast. Our group of four all loved all our meals. The waffles are good but nothing special, so don't go just for them. But go for a great breakfast. The staff is nice and the prices are good.

    Broasted Chicken Dinner

    Thiis is the best cheap eats restaurant in Sarasota. Huge menu with tons of options. I had their Broasted Chicken dinner which consisted of 4 pieces of chicken and choice of potato. Soup, salad and dessert were included for $13.95. My wife got the Saturday Turkey special with dressing,choice of potatoes, salad, soup and dessert for $15.95. Portions were large and everything tasted great. Service could not have been better . For dessert they offered rice pudding or jello. The interior consists of booths, tables and counter service. A must try if you want some great home cooking.

Warm and inviting dining rooms ( three). Big menu, and all our choices provided us with exceptional food: the three dip special ( we had hummus, eggplant and torokafteri) with yummy pita; the chicken lemon soup was excellent; my spanakopita was light, crispy and fantastic, as was the accompanying side of Greek salad which had a delicious dressing. My husband ordered the seafood platter, and everything was well prepared, tasty and also light. We ordered some wine, an imiglykos, which was sweet and good. The table next to us ordered beer salad, lamb shank, and gyro platters which all looked mouth watering. Djonisi was an excellent server, very personable. The customers at the next table told us they were present when the restaurant opened two years ago, and that they moved out of the area, but to give this restaurant our business. This is definitely going to be our go to Greek restaurant from now on, and it should be yours too. (Also, ladies room had two large and very clean stalls).

I was seated facing a wall so I didn't get a good long look at my surroundings but between what I did see and looking at photos posted on Yelp the theme seems to be chickens. Our server was friendly and available to answer any questions as we spent time looking over the menu. I settled on The Hitman, a double patty smashed burger with American cheese, hen sauce, fried mozzarella, Nueske's bacon, with a side of garlic parm fries. It isn't listed on the online menu but there is a note the menu changes frequently so it may not match the day's offering. Let me start by saying that two of the people at my table got salads and were disappointed that there was too much lettuce and too little other stuff. With that out of the way, let me talk about The Hitman, which I loved. What is Nueske bacon? This is a special smoked flavorful bacon made by the Nueske family. Fork & Hen uses thick cut, and there were two slices on my burger. My burger towered so high there was no hope of picking it up, so I attacked it with knife and fork. Being made with Focaccia bread certainly added to the height, but so did a thick block of mozzzrella cheese. The cheese, melted on the inside and crispy on the outside, was substantial. I would be careful biting into a hot block of melted cheese, think pizza mouth. In my photo I broke into one corner to show that is cheese, so much cheese. The burger patty part topped with American cheese was by itself great, like you might find at a home cookout or Smashburgers. Other toppings were there but for me this was meat and a lot of cheese. And as much bread as you want. I loved my surprising good cheeseburger.

Our table ordered a couple of dishes: chicken and waffles, southern fried chicken, shrimp fried rice, and the hitman. The water tasted like it came straight from the water fountain outside the restaurant. Chicken was overly breaded and salty, and the corn cake was sour. I also don't know how they managed to dry out dark meat. The waffle was semi burnt. The shrimp "fried rice" was soggy, vinegary, almost sushi rice like texture, and shrimp was heavily salted. The hitman smashed burger... the hitman probably killed people with the insane amount of salt on the plate. See the theme? Lighten up on the salt unless you're trying to give your customers clogged arteries. Extremely disappointing considering all the great reviews we saw before going.

We all basically got various versions of chicken souvlaki. I got the horiatiki salad with souvlaki chicken. It was very flavorful and I loved all the veggies and olives plus delicious feta. My SIL and husband had the two versions of the souvlaki platter which they enjoyed. The chicken was very tender. My SIL didn't really care for the fries. My husband didn't like the vegetables being on top of the Greek potatoes that weren't very good. The primary issue was the woman who waited on us. We were seated a few minutes after we arrived. Unfortunately, we were not given menus which was frustrating and instead of the woman owning it herself, she blamed it on the new guy. We ordered and it took a while to get our food and the restaurant wasn't that busy. The woman kept complaining about various things and I assume most people could hear. Not really the vibe you want when trying to enjoy a meal with family you don't get to see very often. It also took a while to get the check and to go boxes.

It's clean and cozy atmosphere. My friend and I were there a little before the lunch crowd so we had the place to ourselves. The server was cheerful and prompt. We ordered the chicken lemon rice soup, hummus and pita appetizer, chicken tawook, and I have the salmon in olive oil and lemon. The presentation was good but all the dishes were slightly on the bland side. I enjoyed the food and I like supporting mom and pop restaurants. I wish it was more flavorful but I'm glad I gave this restaurant a try. Perhaps I came on an off day but I hope the locals continue to keep this place going. There's limited parking in this small strip shopping area.

It lacked flavor was not very warm and again did not express freshness. Bagel was also just okay. No where near a New York Bagel.
