Yoder's

Sarasota and Bradenton have sizable Amish communities and several Amish restaurants. Just 3 miles east of downtown is the one we like best, an award-winning, good-value eatery that evokes Pennsylvania Dutch country, with the dining room displaying handicrafts, photos, and paintings celebrating the Amish way. The menu emphasizes straightforward, made-from-scratch cooking such as home-style meatloaf, Southern fried chicken, country-smoked ham, and fried filet of flounder. Breakfast, burgers, salads, soups, and sandwiches are also available. Mrs. Yoder’s shoofly pie, and other homemade pies, are among the restaurant’s biggest draws.
