Yummy food. Great service. I’ll be back.Everyone was pleasant. Our food was fresh. It was hot. And it was delicious. Prices we’re refective of the quality. What more could a Spicey Gal ask for?
Yoder’s is a must do place to eat. Breakfast Lunch or Dinner you can’t go wrong. Save room for a slice of pie! Try the Manhattan Beef, Turkey or Meatloaf and they do have cottage cheese you can substitute for potatoes or add on to your on tray.
Declined breakfast at 11:02am on Monday, the hard and fast dogma of the chefs change at eleven oclock apparently as strict as some of the laws guarding Mennonite traditions, it was just past eight AM that a party of two was sat in the same section that was walked out on one day prior, the waitress no doubt remembering the incident but a perfect picture of graciousness with an ever present smile.Opened in 1975, an Amish family moving south from Indiana at first serving their own needs, as well as those of the community, by way of a restaurant and grocery that has grown to the fame it sees today, Yoders Amish Village comprises three buildings stretching along Bahia Vista Street in Sarasota and although known best for their pies and fried chicken there is little doubt that ramped production has diminished some aspects of scratch cooking, packets from Smuckers standing in for housemade preserves while Table Syrup is pure garbage for those unwilling to pay for the real Maple supplement.Still baking breads, pies and confections each day, the market oddly selling Strawberries from California as opposed to those locally grown, it was with medium roast coffee made specifically for Yoders that the meal got started, the refills so rapid that one could have easily drank a gallon if not paying attention while water glasses were also kept brimming at each and every table.Decorated quaintly, dresses and stitchery with a few knick-knacks here and there, it was after perusing the pie case as well as the menu that decisions were made and with a sizable order to follow the only question was where to get started, the suggestion of a Sweet Bun popular for good reason given the pronounced yeastiness while liberally applied cream cheese frosting slowly melted and slid to the plate below.Unabashedly fond of baked goods, though the other person at the table was craving something less sweet, entrees consisted of Amish Country staple Fried Mush with a crisp sear overlying a toothsome center lightly kissed in salt and butter, the biscuits fluffy but in some cases undermixed with small pockets of raw baking powder while the sandwich-style French Toast was golden, buttery and perfect as a result of the custard-infused egg bread regardless of the Strawberries providence.At this point approaching the main event, some two dozen pies offered by the slice as early as 6am, it was in showing some restraint that only three were selected and although the Yoders Style Key Lime Pie was a bit unexpected with light citrus whipped directly into cream there is no doubt that the Butterscotch Pudding and Strawberry Rhubarb lived up to the legends, a trio of take-home treats including Whoopie Pies and Crusted Pecan Bars no less delicious and available for purchase in the next door deli/market. endoedibles.com
Great food, friendly service abound in this 40 year old plus institution. American staples, including solid fried chicken and meat loaf. Make sure you save too for a slice of their amazing pies!
Yoder’s is quality, home cooking with fresh ingredients and the food integrity that seems to sometimes only come from the Amish community. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner will see your belly full and smiling. Don’t forget your pie! safoodblog.com
I plan my vacations to Florida by how close it is to the place. I have yet to eat anything bad. During our current visit we went 4 times two breakfasts and two lunches. Don’t know where to start telling you what’s good. The Yoders key lime pie is a must. The fried chicken is amazing. If you are in the area do yourself a favor and try Yoders. They also have a market and a deli on site. You will be happy.
The Good and Not So Good. Went there on a trip to Sarasota with my daughter. Had great anticipation after seeing the Man vs Food and expected otherworldly fried chicken. Well, they do give plenty of it, but it was barely warm and soggy breading, meat was pretty dry. I suspect cooking the volume of chicken the way they do it, they have to have a lot pre-cooked and waiting to be served, at least that’s the way it seemed. The sides were ok but the best part of the meal was the pie. We had the strawberry and the peanut butter and both were very good. We may return but either try an off time or get something other than fried chicken.
