Reviews for Yoder's Restaurant & Amish Village in Sarasota, FL
This is an Amish restaurant. It serves comfort food. The price is fair and the portions are large. There is plenty of additional... parking at the back of the restaurant. The restaurant has a gift shop and a market next to it. I ordered the famous friedchicken. The chicken was very lightly breaded and seasoned. It was not crispy as advertised. It was okay. It came with 2 sides.I got the fried okra which I liked and the Amish potato cakes. That was new for me. It was unlike anything I had before. Thepies looked really good and big. They had beautiful colors. I was too full to try them but. I will next time. The service wasgood and a must try restaurant. Read more
I was told about this place by some friends. Glad I stopped by. I had the Monday special of beef and noodles(small portion). ... It was flavorful with tender chunks of pot roast beef. The Mac and cheese was also excellent along with the homemade bread. Idid have a piece of chocolate cream pie to go. That was a disappointment though. Read more
This has always been one of my favorite Amish restaurants in town, so when I?m in the area it?s always a must to stop by here.... One of my favorites on their menu is their chocolate cake and that?s what we stopped by to get. The regular menu is of course,great home style cooking and options. The added store near here is a must to stop into, lots of cute items and something foreveryone! Read more
Yoder?s has some quality home-cooking in the heart of Sarasota in a small Amish Village. The service is friendly and attentive... as expected. The portions are large and plentiful. Loved the gravy, but the meat was either very bland, or super salty. Stilltender though. I?d recommend Yoder?s as a great alternative to the usual Italian/Mediterranean/Mexican/Seafood places thatdominate the area. Read more
The line was out of the door for this hidden gem, and once you are in, you will understand why. The food was as close to home... cooking as you can get. Everything that came out of the kitchen made you want to order more. Let's not talk about the pie, wehad the banana pie, and words can't describe how delightful this slice of heaven was. This is definitely on the top 10 bestplaces to eat is Sarasota, Fl. Read more
Delicious food, I couldn't leave Sarasota without visiting this place. I must say the meat and noodles tasted strong, a touch... too salty for me, but the consistency and texture were great. The service is fast and efficient. I will definitely come backagain. Read more
If I could give more stars I would. Johnathan our server was knowledgeable and very nice. The food was remarkable. Definitely... fresh and homemade. Our table had the meatloaf dinner, fried chicken dinner and the country fried steak dinner. All werefantastic and the side accompaniments, mashed potatoes, fries and hot apples were delicious. Desserts were just as good, eggcustard pie, strawberry cream pie and key lime. Portions were generous. Definitely will visit again and recommend that you trythem out. Read more
My sister recommended we dine here. Was very excited to see chicken livers and okra on the menu. Delicious. Fried perfectly.... Surprised to see our orders were such large portions except the chicken fried chicken seen in the photo. It was plenty but Irecommend portion size should be similar across the board. Sadly My husband's Fried chicken was under seasoned. A warm stack ofcomplimentary Amish bread slices were brought to our table to share before the meals arrived. Fresh Apple butter is on the tableand both were excellent. The most disappointing was the service. We were prepared to wait as most places are short staffed,however once the food was delivered nice and hot, the waitress Never once came back to our table to check on anything, to orderdessert, refills on drinks, to go boxes and our check. My husband who has the most patience in the world was the mostfrustrated. We finally had to flag down the passing hostess who was very sweet to help us. Our first experience here started outgreat and quickly Became a disappointment. Many positives but dropping your customers like a hot potato is bad for business. Wetruly felt unwanted. Hopefully this won't happen to anyone else. Read more
