Since 1975, Yoder’s Amish Restaurant has become a favorite and is a tradition for many families from all over the country. But, it’s the locals from Sarasota and surrounding Bay area that are fiercely loyal and keep coming back to Yoder’s year after year on a regular basis. Most would agree, it’s Mrs.Yoder’s homemade pies that are the biggest draw. “The secret is in the crust and the fresh fruit fillings,” says Mrs.Yoder. She insists on using only the best and is very “picky” about all her pies, with over 25 varieties to choose.
