Dutch Country Restaurant

I found this place on Unilocal!for my husband one morning. He drives a Taxi service for the Amish and was on a break and looking for a good breakfast. He called me back quickly to tell me it was the best omelette he had ever had. So while we were in Middlefield last weekend he treated me to a date night dinner there. It was so good!
First off let me say our waiter, Robi was a hoot. He had my husband in hysterics — especially when he compared being the only male waiter to being a brother in a house full of bratty sisters. He had our drinks and rolls out to us in no time and took our order. My husband had a Steak smothered in ale soaked onions with a loaded baked potato, green beans and a side salad, I had a Sirloin steak with green beans and loaded potato and French Onion Soup. I normally would not have ordered steak at a place like this but after reading such great reviews of the prime rib and other plates and the aromas that were wafting though the building I felt I would be OK. And I was right! The French Onion Soup was as good as any of the local chain steak houses. I would however ask them to leave off the chives next time as I found them way too many and unnecessary. The steak was cooked rare as I asked and really good. i would have liked it to be more seasoned but it was definitely a good choice. I loved both my sides and cleaned my plate.
My husband also enjoyed his meal and cannot wait for the next time! We shared a piece of Chocolate mouse pie for dessert and I think I got 4 bites! My non sweet eating husband said it was one of the best he head had in years. I thought the pie filling itself was great but did not like the crust as it was very soggy.
All in all a 4 star meal! Look forward to trying this again!

Best thing they’ve got going for them is the portion sizes. Good amount of food for the money, and it wasn’t bad… Don’t order any water, or water based beverages: as my daughter announced, «it tastes like pennies!!»
They say don’t judge a book by its cover, but in this case, you’ll get exactly what you would assume you would when you look at the place: a little run down, standard small town diner fare, decent food but a good amount of it for the money.

We came in just in time for Breakfest! They took care of us, drinks came right out with such a friendly server! Well I can honestly say that all five of us had a very good Breakfest. Excellent value and good portion sizes. The home fries were some of the best I have had. I would suggest updating décor for better ambiance, all and all I would recommend and would be back!!!

If you haven’t tried this place, you need to. Good comfort food at great prices. I had a burger, which was outstanding, and a great value at $ 5.50. The chili chz fries were a big hit, portion has huge and very tasty. Will be back soon.

This place is nothing to look at from the outside or the inside. The menu is extensive and the prices are quite reasonable. We enjoyed the tasty meal and entertaining server. The mashed potatoes are HOMEMADE. If you like American comfort food this is your spot!

Food was so good! We came here during lunch and all got burgers and sandwiches with onion rings and fries. Dinners looked so good too! And everything was $ 10 or less! Very happy we stopped by. Too bad we aren’t leaving or we’d be back for dinner.

The prime rib was amazing — the best thing on the menu. I had a side of potatoes and green beans unfortunately I was completely stuffed after my 17 oz steak.
That’s right, the 17 oz was huge and enough to fill me up. This is coming from the guy who smashes Taco Bell party boxes «12 soft tacos» like its no ones business.
If your in middlefield — this is the one place you have to stop for an amazing meal.

If adjusted for a cheap eats home cooking type place, then 5 stars; but if you want fine dining, this is not the place. We are not local (Detroit) and were just looking for a quick meal. This place surpassed our expectations.
Service: we had limited time and told our server. Boy, did she hustle. We never felt rushed, but never once had to wait for anything. Food came in order and quickly, timed better than a fine dining establishment. Kitchen accommodated her timing.
Price/​Portions: this place is beyond reasonable; its flat out cheap. Very cheap. Portions are very big. Big portions, plus cheap prices, often concerns me re: quality. They do cut corners, but not on the important stuff.
Food: Good. Very good for cheap eats. Chili just great. Soup home-​made; bit bland, but tasty. Dinner salads — pre-​portioned lettuce on plate with thick dressing in a pre-​portioned cup. Skip that.
Pasta — daughter liked huge portion of spaghetti. Runny thin sauce, but has 3 home made big meatballs. Lots of breading, but tasty. Despite appearances, it was good. Clearly home made sauce — they need lessons on making a thick marinara.
Wiener schnitzel — breading way too thick, but this is pretty close, for this type of place. Good mashed, but green beans clearly canned and gross.
Prime rib — cooked to order, so I’ve never had it this way. Obviously roasted earlier, then brought up to temperature. My medium rare, was in fact, and shockingly for an end piece, just a bit above medium rare. I got the bone, and it was a bit fatty, but the burnt outer skin was simply delicious. 15 oz portion was more like 25+ oz.
Loaded baked potato — pre-​cooked and dried out. Corn was canned, but I like canned cord, so guilty pleasure here.
Son ordered chili cheddar fries. Menu says it’s a huge plate, but this is a massively huge plate. Plus cheap. Chili is good (supra), cheese is always good, and the fries are obviously hand cut on site, so taste like that. I happen not to like fresh hand cut fries, but if you do, they have them. Processed brine soaked fries always taste better and get crispier. But unhealthy.
Coconut cream pie: before you ask, only my 9 year old daughter finished her huge pasta plate. We put at least 50% of everything else into cooler in car to take home. Then 4 of us split just 1 piece. Clearly homemade. Crust is perfect for a cream pie. Filling — cut corner here; too much whipped cream mixed in. It’s more like a dense coconut flavored whipped cream pie.
I will be in Middlefield from Detroit next year. I will go there again. Anxiously.

Decent cheap place to eat. Nothing fancy here, but the food is good and the staff is friendly. Definitely not the best option in Middlefield, but good for a quick bite.

Pastrami Swiss cheese melt on rye — good simple and safe with mustard — enjoyed the fries too — with catsup — kind of run down building needs a little make over — closed business next door gives that folded business city feel even in the middle of no where — middlefield, ohio

Great place for breakfast after church or just out for a bite. Good prices, food was great every time. Service is always good. Much better now that sleazy Twisters is gone.

If you enjoy simple home cooked meals. This is your place. If you cant find something on the menu you like. You cant be pleased period. My meal ham and cabbage over egg noodles with one side and a warm bun and butter for $ 5.99. I also had a bowl of French onion soup which was $ 4.50 actually I would put it up there in the top five French onion soup I’ve ever had service was great the atmosphere is homey if you’re a truck driver like I am you could get a tractor trailer in here or bobtailing would be easier. I could not even finish my meal I only ate half

Didn’t even know about this place until my mom and i drove by it. We decided to try something new so we ate here. We enjoyed it. We both got burgers and they were delicious! And our waitress was super friendly and sweet. I will visit again when in the area.

Everything home made. my meat loaf was good… I tried live n onions n it was actually good too lol. big portions… definitely need a box. someone had a birthday n the waitress’ sang happy birthday n then afterwards I heard one of the girls say «I hate singing». I’m gonna let that slide but really its ur job to sing sometimes… if ur gonna cry about it u should probably wait til ur in the back away from the customers… food was better then the meal at jc’s in Burton yesterday and a lot cheaper

Truly a pleasant surprise, a hidden gem, and one of our family’s favorite!
The menu is as plain Americana as you can find — hot sandwiches, steaks, meatloaf, chicken with dumplings, and pies. The true beauty is how delicious it all is — made from wholesome ingredients! Even the meatloaf, which one would expect to be the most boring menu item, is sumptuously moist and full of flavor.
Our favorite is the 24-​oz prime rib. Slow roasted and seasoned perfectly — quite a delicious cut of beef which tastes far better than the big chain steakhouses. Comes with choice of potato and vegetable. All for $ 19.99! Can’t beat that and leftovers galore!
UPDATE (5÷24÷14): Had to drop from my 5-​star review back in 2010 (above) as the quality has somewhat waned in recent years. Quality isn’t terrible but just doesn’t seem to wow us as it used to. We still dine here every now and then although nowhere near as frequently because of it.

We had a group of 12 recently. Goood service and food. Prime rib was top shelf !
Pork chops a bit tough. 1 Lb burger for 7.95 was great !!

Being able to drink alcohol now, they make a lovely strawberry daiquiri! And now that Twister’s is gone, no more obnoxious bar patrons!

I stopped here while out for a drive in the country. I was nervous that the food would be of poor quality because the inside of the restaurant is very unappealing. It is very dark inside, looks like the place could use a good dusting, overall cleaning and for God’s sake some art or something bright inside.
I ordered the special of the day, Ham and mac n cheese and it was delicious! I was surprised at the quality of both the thick sliced ham and the mac n cheese. The green beans were canned, the roll was so/​so, the side salad came with a packet of dressing (TACKY!) but darn that ham and mac n cheese was great. It was hot, cooked well, of good quality and there seemed to be enough for three meals.
I thought the service was pretty good. I recommend this place.

My family, a hungry group of cyclists, pulled into this restaurant and ordered all the potatoes and meat we could handle and came away satisfied. My meatloaf and mashed potatoes was particularly delicious. I will say that the green beans definitely came out of the can but I’m still a fan. This is exactly what you want from a down home restaurant.

This place is not deserving of all the bells and whistles I was hearing about food was ok at best and service needs to get better everything about this place evokes small town America sorry America this sucks
