the Dish
A recent run to Amsterdam, MO included an impromptu stop at DeHart's Amsterdam Cafe; and what was intended to be an 'in and out' meal, turned out to be something well beyond our expectations
Being in a hurry, our choices were pretty basic- chicken strips, mashed potatoes, green beans, French fries and a roll.
The end result however, we officially joined the 'clean plate club' as the chicken strips were tender, juicy and the breading was perfect in terms of flavor and consistency (not too crunchy as many are).
The mashed 'taters were obviously freshly made, as were the fries.
I often find sautéed green beans to be a bit crunchy for my liking however, as Goldilocks once stated, these were "just right!" They also have a splash of seasoning the brought out their natural flavor.
On top of that, our food arrived in a timely manner even though the restaurant was beginning to get quite busy. Our server Jennifer was pleasant and it was obvious she enjoyed her job (if I can joke around and the server can dish it right back, it always means a good tip!).
The entire bill came to around $25. Wow, we got an authentic home cooked meal for about the same price, if not cheaper, than one of the gut-and-digestive-tract-busting fast food chains.
All said, we give a 5-star review to DeHart's Amsterdam Cafe and highly recommend EVERYONE check it out!
