Dutch Cafe

Much bigger inside than it looks. Parking lot was packed when we arrived at 1pm on a Saturday. Food and service was really great. Everything prepare to order even the crispy hashbrowns. Men's restroom needs some restoration. Walls looked like they had water damage and needs repainting. Floor could have used a mop.

We stopped in after going to the Grissom Air Force base museum. We ordered 3 hand breaded tenderloins with homemade bread. They came out pipping hot and were a little thicker and seasoned perfectly. The breaded fries were season and supper tasty. They lunch soup and salad bar adds to the great lunch counter feel of the restaurant. I would recommend this diner for its wholesome homemade food.

Freshly cooked comfort food for breakfasts and lunches. Huge portions! Delicious pies and sweets. Incredible weekend buffets. Very reasonable prices. Friendly attentive staff.

More about the pies than anything.Sugar Cream is extra tasty and they say that is their claim to fame pie.Coffee is okay.Salad bar is okay.Can sit at the counter to eat pie!

I love Dutch cafe, their meat loaf and mashed potatoes are great. Personally I like the mix the two and it's a great combo. I try to patronize on Tuesdays as meatloaf is lower priced that day. Definitely one of my favorite Peru eats

My regular breakfast places were busy, but I drive past this place on my way to work, so I thought I would give it a try - I was a little surprised that with the name "Dutch Cafe", I saw nothing Dutch on the menuAfter being seated, waited more then 5 minutes to be acknowledged and place my drink order, so i had to flag down one of the waitstaff walking by to ask where the server for my area was. Server comes over takes my order, and says she will be right back with my drinks. Five more minutes pass before the drinks show upWhile I am waiting for my food, I hear other waitstaff asking their customers what kind of toast they want, and that seems strange as I was only asked if I wanted toast. What do I get when the food shows up? The but end of white bread, but it was burned to a black waste. The food being dropped of was the last of seeing the server, no drink refills, no "how was everything", nothing.The omelet itself was a decent omelet, but I can't see the need to ever stop again.

Stopped by for Sunday brunch buffet and boy are we glad we did. The buffet incluofall the breakfast items plus a lunch buffet with fried chicken, noodles & what tasted to me like homemade mashed potatoes.. the ham was not salty at all... Of course we got a fresh made Dutch apple pie together for $13. Cannot wait til dessert time.

We stopped here for lunch a few days ago when returning home from vacation. Their food is outstanding and you don't want to miss it. I ordered the Beef Manhattan and it's the most delicious one that I have ever eaten. Paula Calhoun Indianapolis

I go back & forth on this place. First, fell in love with their sugar cream pie. Love @ first bite. But, over the years that has gone down hill. The last 2 pies I bought were very lumpy. Sugar cream pie should not have lumps. The last one reminded me more of cottage cheese than a cream pie.The bathrooms need attending. They're a dump.Ordered something off the menu & saw the cook come get something off the buffet to make my entree. Kind of uncool.The best I've had there is the Breakfast Haystack. I wanted to kiss the cook! Nothing fancy, but real good! Food fit for a king!Not sure how to take the staff. They all know what they are doing. The place is usually busy. But, it is too business & not a lot of smiles or small talk. Hardly any.I really enjoy the thought of eating at the Dutch Cafe, but my family (of 5) has slowly fallen off as its fans. I think I will still go back. But, the new has definitely worn off. It's getting harder to be enthusiastic.

A hidden gem across from Grissom AFB. Easy to miss if you're driving north on Highway 31. We stopped in as we were headed north for delicious homemade pie and coffee, then again returning south for a country breakfast. Two pieces of pie and two coffees for $10.75.Several varieties of homemade pie on the menu. My blueberry crunch was quite good and spouse enjoyed the chocolate cream.Country breakfast was huge and tasty. Check out the mile high biscuit in the photo. It was perfect. Moist and delicious. The other star of breakfast was the giant, plate-sized pancake. Tasty, a meal in itself. Good service, welcoming. Go for the food, not for the decor. Be aware that well water is served. Didn't effect the coffee. If you're a Carhartt fan, a large building is next to the cafe filled with all things Carhartt in several colors. Good place to stretch your legs. The Dutch cafe is going to be a regular stop for us.
