Barrycuda Posted May 16, 2014 Share #1 Posted May 16, 2014 Was kicking around the idea in my head of our next M and E be a in the morning. there is a this Amish breakfast joint called Yoders, in Sarasota. I thought the ambiance, service and food was delightful. It is not a big place mind you, but its quaint and different. might be a good ride for many of us. Thoughts? My initial thought process was maybe June 14th? I am not available the weeks before and my wife leaves the weekend after on a trip. option B is lunch at the linger lodge, which is also in Sarasota. good food, a bit hard to find initially, but good atmosphere. just another chance to get together prior to the IR my 2 cents.....

b2dad Posted May 16, 2014 Share #2 Posted May 16, 2014 Sarasota is a bit too far...how about NORTHERN Florida, panhandle...??? LOL!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djh3 Posted May 16, 2014 Share #3 Posted May 16, 2014 I tried to do this from I 75 and University parkway exit. Its close but not perfect, but you can get the idea of where its at. is Linger Lodge[/url]. Lodge web site. Yoders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBeard Posted May 16, 2014 Share #4 Posted May 16, 2014 Linger Lodge will take resevations for a group of 8 or more. There is always the Shake Pit in Bradenton for an Ice Cream desert. Yoder's can be alittle tough for a group as they have limited seating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am down for the linger lodge. I took a solo road trip there with my RSV and it was a nice place. Everyone cool with that? how bout the date of June 14?

djh3 Posted May 17, 2014 Share #8 Posted May 17, 2014 Simular restraunt to Yoders is Sugar and Spice. It off Bee Ridge rite by I 75. Little bit more seating and good food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBeard Posted May 17, 2014 Share #9 Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) Sugar and Spice changed owners a few years ago. The food is now just so so. Yoders is a better place. Der Dutchmen near Yoders is a larger more modern Amish style restaurant which most of the Amish snowbirds seem to like. Here is the website for the Oldpackinghouse Cafe in Sarasota.http://www.oldpackinghousecafe.com/ Great burgers.

Barrycuda Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share #10 Posted May 17, 2014 It looks like we are in agreement with location of Sarasota, just the actual place. I am down for the old packing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmxndad Posted May 20, 2014 Share #17 Posted May 20, 2014 Rode past Packinghouse Café a few weeks back and looks closed down. Google calls it closed as well. Called the number given on website and does the this number has been disconnected thing. Maybe someone can call during the day to confirm whether they are still open or not. If not open my, $.02 would be Der Dutchmen. Buffet style, good food, lots of seating, lots of parking. Fairly easy to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrycuda Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share #18 Posted May 20, 2014 Wow! Thanks for the update. That new suggestion is fine by me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBeard Posted May 20, 2014 Share #19 Posted May 20, 2014 May want to go to Der Dutchman for better parking and seating,however I pass the Old packinghouse Cafe everyday and even called their phone after reading the post about their demise. Place is such a kitchey dump that it sometimes appears closed. But try to get in there on a friday or saturday when they have live music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
