Amish comfort food and pies — "Yoder's Famous Fried Chicken" and from-scratch cream pies — in the heart of Sarasota's Pinecraft neighborhood.
The restaurant's pies got a national spotlight on Travel Channel's Man v. Food — and the family marked 50 years in 2025 by opening a pie-and-coffee shop next door.
The pie mecca of Pinecraft — a homey Amish family restaurant famous for from-scratch pies and fried chicken, run by the same family since 1975. Comfort food, no pretense, closed Sundays.
Food: Yoder's Famous Fried Chicken, hand-breaded and pressure-fried ($$), with a slice of the peanut butter cream pie to finish.
