AMISH KITCHEN COOKING…read more A big restaurant where you'll notice some Amish women working while wearing their traditional white head covering or bonnet. I visited Der Dutchman restaurant for the first time in Walnut Creek, Ohio in late July 2025 with 3 guy friends and 2 female friends. We drove down from Cleveland to visit sites in Amish Country (Millersburg and Berlin). We had just finished touring the Yoder Amish Homes property (over an hour tour in the heat) and after the fun tour we all were hungry for lunch. Der Dutchman came up on a Yelp search so we decided to visit. FOOD (see attached pics) -- Typical home cooking. Served buffet style. Reminds me of Hometown Buffet in Columbus but that restaurant doesn't exist anymore. The menu is large so you will definitely find something that you like. I got fried chicken, shredded beef, mashed potatoes, string green beans, and a side salad. I also got a second plate of food which I think was just another piece of chicken because guests can enjoy "all you can eat"; although, I didn't get too much food neither did I fill my plate up in my original serving. Plenty of options to choose from, including protein (chicken, fish, beef), salads, carbs (rice, mashed potatoes), and dessert. SERVICE -- friendly and efficient. The lunch time was busy but our waiter greeted us, brought water and bread rolls to our table and checked on our table during lunch. If you're visiting Amish country for the day like my friends and I did, then stop by Der Dutchman. It's a well talked about hometown favourite. All 6 of us enjoyed our time.

It's been two years since I've been to Walnut Creek Der Dutchman…read more Wife and I had dinner there on June 1st. We asked for a window seat view and was easily granted that at 4pm. We chose to order off the menu instead of the buffet because we chose for better dinning. Salad and bread came to the table and was delish! As we enjoyed, we overheard the table behind us complain about lukewarm chicken. Kind of disappointing to overhear but we figured it came from the buffet. Our dinners took a while to come out so we assumed ours would be just fine. WRONG! I ordered three-piece dark meat, and it was lukewarm and very dry, like it sat under a heat lamp for some odd reason. My wife ordered three-piece white meat and found it extremely dried out and the skin was very dark almost burned like it stayed too long in the oven. I don't understand what is going on in the kitchen, but this is NOT the Der Dutchman that we've known in the past. It was always a pleasure to enjoy home cooked meals there. I'm very sorry to give such a bad review on a place we've loved to eat at but I believe knowledge is power and Der Dutchman should be looking at these two issues with summer travel upon them.

I got the meatloaf with sweet potato fried and green beans. The fries came with a sugar honey sauce that was INSANE AMAZING. The meatloaf was definitely home made, could taste the nice crust on it, the sweet tangy BBQ was a nice touch on it. For dessert I got a blueberry cheesecake that was 10/10. Overall my meal was top notch and I'll definitely be driving back here just for food! You need to eat here!

After asking one clueless waitress if we could move (her answering we couldn't), another (Pookie) moved us toward the front. MUCH better. The food came out promptly ad my wife's Quinoa Stir Fry was super good (I liked it too), but my Bacon Ranch pasta was *COLD*. I had to wait a bit til Pookie waited on a party of 7, but eventually the other waitress got my dish and it was fixed in 5-6 minutes. My food was eventually good, but should have been first time out. It was then much too long to get our bill after we were done. The place has potential, but they need some better staff who do better.

Save your money, don't go! The food was ok…read more The service was terrible. The waitresses need to be trained in customer service. The salads were brought with our meals instead of before. There was six at our table and all of us but two got chicken tenders. The owner wants to be a green restaurant and I can appreciate that but there is nothing to tell you that when you go in. Don't ask for straws or extra napkins they won't give them to you. I think the only way that they have been in business for 3 years is from all the tourists that have never been there. 3 of the 5 tables that was there when we were said they would never go back. The lighting is terrible and not centered over the tables. Don't waste your money. Go somewhere else.
