“ The food was exquisite. The atmosphere was wonderful. They rooftop seating as well as outdoor seating. Leaving a few options to choose from. The steak was perfectly cooked and seasoned to perfection ”
“ This place lives up to the hype. The service was impeccable and the food was divine. The appetizers are quite large so sharing is a good idea. Huge portions for the entries as well. ”
“ From the first step into the door we were met with smiles and greetings. The brunch had more options than I was able to sample. The crab dip, cream of crab soup, blackened salmon, french toast, eggs, everything I had was marvelous, delicious and had me wishing I could've eaten more. Sunday brunch was busy but we were taken care of by our waitress with attention, smiles and kindness. You get 5 stars because that's as high as the rating goes. ”
“ Celebrated my upcoming 40th birthday this evening and had an amazing time! Dutch’s consistently has top notch service and food. Our sever Ever was excellent! He took great care of us and we couldn’t be more pleased. I grew up on Dutchs food and it was always great. The filet and crab dishes are always a favorite. All lump crab meat and no filler! The saying will always remain true...you get what you pay for, and you will get quality at Dutchs every time. The building it self is absolutely gorgeous. It’s amazing how much it was grown from the VFW to this location and what it is today l...and still keeps expanding. I look forward to the spring time when I can check out some of the outdoor additions. Thanks again to our sever and all the staff that made this evening special! ”

“ Don’t sleep on Dutch’s takeout! Super impressed by the food we got, from the quality and quantity. The prices can be kind of intimidating, but there are some things on the menu that are reasonably priced. (Or you can splurge!) We got the blackened chicken Alfredo with mixed vegetables and macaroni and cheese (meal comes with two sides) for about 33. It was 5 large tenderloins of chicken that were super soft and very well seasoned. They almost melted in your mouth, were so delicious and tender. The Alfredo that came with it comes on fettuccine which was perfectly al dente. The sauce itself was very good, buttery and creamy. What was surprising is how big and yummy the Mac and cheese was. Super creamy with a crispy cheese top. Definitely recommend. On top of everything, they give you (I believe) house made bread with cinnamon honey butter. Perfect addition to mop up all the extra Alfredo sauce. 5 stars will definitely order again! ”
“ This restaurant was recommended by a local-ish person. We rarely venture out of downtown when we visit Frederick, but we went for the Sunday Brunch on our way out of town. We didn’t know what to expect other than being told the Crab Soup was very good. We called for reservations and they got us in quickly. We were quite surprised how big the place is, and were impressed with the attention to detail with it being such a large place. Even the landscaping in the parking lot was top notch. The crap soup was indeed incredible with good hearty meaty crab. And the crab omelet was not stingy one bit on the big chunks of crab. Everything had good flavor. Not having frequented buffets in quite a while and being more familiar with Lancaster, PA buffets we were quite surprised by the quality of everything. I was happy that there were plenty of options that weren’t gluten, though the biscuits and beef chip, the French toast, and the raisin bread all looked very tempting. ”
“ What a wonderful & beautifully decorated restaurant! This was my first time visiting & stopped here with a group after finishing a hike in Myersville. Even in our hiking gear, we were treated with such hospitality!! And the food was excellent. You must get the cream of crab soup and the shrimp tacos! ”
