"So today I took my family to Dutch Pantry for the lunch buffet (3 adults and one senior). The price for this meal was $71.42. The salad was fair. So what was on hot food line? Pulled pork in bbq sauce, pinto beans, corn muffins, sauerkraut with an almost tasteless sausage, creamed corn, meatloaf, green beans and yeast rolls. The combination of food being served seemed odd and from what I 've eaten (I have family in Amish country in Ohio and Pennsylvania) not super authentic. However, I 'm no expert on northeastern Oklahoma Amish cuisine but the overall combination didn 't really work for me. The sauerkraut and green beans looked and tasted canned. The bbq was watery. I 've cooked a lot of bbq in my life. This seemed thrown together. No smoke on the pulled pork, and the only flavor came from the sauce. The meatloaf was fair (and that 's being generous). Way too much bread in this for my taste. The creamed corn was fair as well. The one thing that saved this from being one starred was the yeast rolls. They seemed to be the one thing that was authentic and care went into making those rolls. In terms of ambiance I really don 't have much to say other than drab, and lacked charm. Again, it appears that not a lot of effort went into the appearance of the restaurant. Not inviting or lively: think more along the lines of institutional dining hall and that would paint a better picture. The deserts (bakery to the rescue again) were good. The egg custard was honestly good with a flan like texture. My son had the cobbler and it looked like proper cobbler, which is amazing. I would recommend the bakery. The baked items tasted like they came out of a Grandmother 's oven. The people that made this know about proper baking and have enough care to make basic ingredients shine. I absolutely do not recommend the restaurant. Paying $71.42 is insulting for the overall experience; the bakery not withstanding. If a business wants to charge a premium price: have a premium product. Dutch Pantry clearly misses the mark."
