We had the pleasure of going to the Dutch last night for the first time. For basics, the food is incredible and reasonably priced. The clientele seemed great as well as it was a mix between older and younger and all were respectful.
The best part of this was our experience with the bartender outside, Paige. This bartender was amazingly pleasant, I don't think I waited more than 30 seconds for service because she was constantly checking on everyone, and easily went out her way to make sure we had a great experience. We will literally come back to this place (which is not a close drive) just because of how great our experience was. If Paige ever reads this we would like to say thank you again for a great Saturday night experience.
I would also like to mention that there was a gentleman that was working the door as you walk outside to the patio. I do not know his name but he seemed to have red hair and a red beard. He was very polite and patient with us as we first came out and asked some questions. Even when I went back that way to ask where the bathroom was, he could have said "walk in there and look to the left" but he did not. He said please go through the door, then go through the other doorway, look to your left and it will be the first door on the right.
We had a wonderful experience and definitely will be back. I gave this 5 stars, but I had to take away 1 star in the service department not because of these people, but because there was another bartender outside working with Paige who was extremely rude to almost everyone he came in contact with. He took my own empty drinks and threw them out without asking if we would like another, he pounded a beer bottle in front of another customer instead of asking if the customer wanted another one (don't bartenders hate when you do this to them?), I heard him yell at some women that were there because it took them a minute to pull out a credit card and he said "WHY WOULD YOU COME UP TO THE BAR WITHOUT BEING FULLY PREPARED TO PAY ME?!". I heard other customers apologize to him a lot because they felt uncomfortable and I also saw some other customers explain to him that they weren't happy with the attitude.
Once again all the staff outside of this one bad apple were amazing, we overall had a great time, the prices were great, the entertainment was great, the food was great and we will definitely be back! Thank you again!
P.S. give Paige a raise she...
Read moreThe service and food were awful. First, the waitress refused to answer any questions about the menu and was very rude in her demeanor. When I asked what came on the sandwich, she just said “whatever you tell me.” When I told her what I wanted, she proceeded to say that I couldn’t get any of it. Then, the food took over an hour even though everyone just got sandwiches. The food was hot but so salty that it was barely edible. Food was not delivered to everyone at the table at the same time. After delivering the food, the server talked to a customer at the bar for the duration of our meal and didn’t check on us until about ten minutes after everyone was done eating. She never offered to bring drinks or checked if we needed anything else. She didn’t ask if we were ready for the check or wanted it split, and just dropped it on the table without warning. We asked to have the check split, which she refused to do, saying we needed to “figure it out [ourselves].” To top it off, they let people smoke in the restaurant which is quite questionable if it’s legal or not. It was probably one of the worst dining...
Read moreIve been a patron of the dutch for many years. Even did a brief stint bartender there, which i absolutely loved. Recently we suffered a tragic loss in the family and used the dutch for catering needs at a local brewery. The dutch not only provided us with incredible food, but Genny and Mike were so kind as to help deliver and set up the food, so I could attend the full funeral service. It truly is like a little family there. Everyone takes pride in what they do and they truly care about their customers. From the food to the staff and the atmosphere, you will never have a bad experience. Thank you so much Genny and Mike for helping us through such a difficult evening. The food was delicious and we are so...
