“ Such a great place!! We walked in with a baseball team and all of their families after a tournament and Riley and Allison went above and beyond. We were turned away from another local restaurant, and we were so happy we ended up here!! Great food and amazing service! ”
“ Great dinner last night. Unfortunately they had already run out of roast beef and mac and cheese when we got there. Was definitely looking forward to that. But, we had a burger and it was very good. Cheese curds rank right up there with Wisconsin. Definitely a good place to go and hang out, especially after a baseball game ”
“ Really enjoyed the experience here while being out of town at a baseball tournament. The server, Alyson, was the highlight of our time there. She was very friendly, prompt, and thorough in caring for our large party with players and parents. The food was timely and tasty. I would highly recommend trying the Old Dutch Tavern, and if you get the chance ask for Alyson. ”
“ Today was our first time dining at the Old Dutch Tavern and it was a fantastic experience! It's a great atmosphere, clean, family friendly. My family of 7 all loved the food and had no complaints! Our waitress, Mellisa was so attentive and kind and even gave our 12 year old an extra cup of pickles for the road because she heard her say how much she likes pickles. The kids are already asking when we can go back! ”
“ Stopped in after a day at Cedar Point for a beer and was so happy I did. Solid beer selection, some solid bar food staples, but by far my favorite was the mac and cheese. The white cheddar cheese sauce was great by itself and there was 17 different options to add in. The service was fantastic and Ali was amazing and charming. The regulars were very friendly and even helped us find some new hiking spots. Next time we go to Cedar Point I'm definitely coming back to end a fun day at the park with a pint and good friends. ”
“ We had a wonderful experience here! The cheese curds were top notch, we both loved our sandwiches, but the best part was the incredible service by our server, Alyson! She was beyond friendly, attentive, and caring. I would absolutely come back any time I go to Cedar Point or are otherwise in the area. Thanks, Alyson! ”
“ This place is awesome. The food was amazing. We ordered way too much food and ate most of it there. The rest will make a 5 star midnight snack. Alyson was our server and she was phenomenal. She was super patient and helpful. She made some excellent recommendations on what to order and always made sure our drinks were filled. If I ever make it back to the area this will be my first food stop. ”
“ First time in since remodel we had great burgers and mac and cheese. Everyone was so nice and accommodating. Jen and Allison were both so nice and made our stay a great time. Will go back for sure ”
