Guests rave about the friendliness that awaits at this neighborhood restaurant that’s a bit of a throwback with its wooden décor and the taxidermy that hangs on the walls.
While you can dig into a hearty fish meal any time of the week at Dutch Treat Restaurant, Friday’s all about fish all year long. If you’re visiting on Fish Friday, order the daily special – the baked or fried cod, both made with the restaurant’s special seasoning.
If you feel like a little bit of this and a little bit of that, go for the combination seafood platter, which comes with cod, fried shrimp, clam strips, and two sides.
The menu’s packed with plenty of other comfort dishes too, if you’re just not in a fishy kind of mood. Dutch Treat’s Famous Broaster Style Chicken, homemade meatloaf, and home-style roast beef are all popular choices.
Check out the nearly dozen sandwiches, too. From classic egg salad to the traditional juicy BLT, there’s something for everyone. Sandwiches come with a side of fries, applesauce, coleslaw, or a cup of soup.
