New subscriber here what an awesome review of a restaurant near me that i didn't know about! I will make sure to visit soon! 2 hours is kind of annoying because i tend to be very conversative when I go to places like this, in the buffet style.
I ate at that Hilton buffet between 15 and 20 years ago. Then, it was $50 for an adult. We thought that was pricey! I don't know what it's like now but, to this day, I consider that Hilton buffet as the best buffet I've ever been too... bar none!
Sierra Cafe in LA is the most expensive
Danny just dismantling that crab leg at 6:53 without breaking eye contact with us killed me. 😂
Don't like those kind of jokes or in put s
Hi Danny, years ago the Nordic Buffet was called Custy's Buffet. There was an incident when the wrestlers, Andre the Giant and Toro Tanaka visited and ate 40 lobsters each. That's the reason for the 2hr limit. They were asked to leave.
It was said in a different video that people often mistake the nordic as formery Custy, which they said in the video it was not... I dont remember which video..
custees was in connecticut, not even sure if it is open anymore.
@@kathykramer3215 Custy's was in Kingston RI. There is one in CT also. But the incident occurred in Kingston RI
@@dannythemedic further research by me finds that Custy's was in Kingston RI. Thanks for the correction
@@petervenezia482 I'm from RI and Custy's was actually in North Kingstown, and not where the Nordic Lodge is now. I remember Custy's made sandwiches that seemed about 6 inches high! I also remember when the Nordic was about $45 per person back in the 80's.
I live in Rhode Island and have never been. Am planning on going next year for my 60’th birthday. Excellent review and very entertaining. ❤
Danny takes one for the team! Watermelon lobster is the trend of the year, mark my words!
Danny, this is my #1 buffet on my bucket lists. Wow, you are a pro at cracking the crab legs…so fast and not even looking when you crack it. I agree with you it’s all about the quality and not quantity. So good!
For those trying to keep track, it was: 3 bacon wrapped scallops, 2 snow crab cluster, 2 tenderloin steak, 1 slice prime rib, 1 stuffed mushroom, 5 fried scallops, 3 fried shrimp, 3 peel and eat shrimp, 2 lobster fritter, 6 shucked oysters, sautéed garlic mushrooms, chocolate dipped strawberries and cherries, 1 cannoli, watermelon, fig, rambutan and lychee fruit. Oh and 9 whole lobsters.
When Danny says he's a cheap S.O.B., he doesn't mean low quality or small quantity. He means getting his money's worth.
The boy can damn 'sho eat.
You got that right. Think about how much it would cost to prepare all that at home.
All the different ingredients that is needed for each of them!
this is the true meaning of pigging out --no class hog.
Being from Maine, I highly commend your skill at cracking open and eating a lobster.
This buffet looks sooo good!
Thank you 😋
This will be just in my wildest dream. No plan to go to R.I. and no $$$ to spend that much. Thanks for showing us how satisfying that buffet was. 👍
So glad you tried this place! I went last Oct., and was only able to eat 2 lobsters, a crab cluster, and 2 bowls of clam chowder (w/a few sides). I couldn’t believe how much you ate! Good getting your $$$ worth. You made us proud.
So much fun watching your totally enjoying your meal🙄! We love lobster fritters sooo good
"Size doesn't matter" "It's so hard guys" I'm dying for the last 10 minutes 🤣
Hey, hey...food and travel
Hi Danny..wow, everything looked sooo good! Thanks for sharing it with us.
thanks!
This is one I want to experience.
I was there last September when it was only $125! 😅 I really enjoyed it though, but you beat me in the number of lobsters! I could only finish 3!
I had to force myself to eat 10. I was pretty much full after the 5th plate, but I needed to get my moneys worth!
A perfect and utterly entertaining review. And I love your choice in b-roll music. Too many CZcamsrs play the worst, annoying music...I'm talking to you, UA Eats.
Was at the Nordic a few years ago when it was about $115. Considering our ridiculous inflation, it hasn't gone up much. A 2½ pound lobster at The Palm in Manhattan over $100 with a side.
When I was there I had 4 lobsters, 18 oysters, the colossal shrimp, a thicker piece of rare Prime Rib, mushrooms, and a cup of clam chowder. I didn't bother with any of the fried foods, sides or desserts. I was stuffed.
The grounds and lake are magnificent. I put on my headphones, closed my eyes and listened to music. Then I walked 15,000 steps around the grounds in a futile attempt to walk-off my gluttony.
The Nordic isn't a buffet, it's a fun excursion and experience. The only thing better than the food is the staff and management. I live in Manhattan and it took me less than three hours to drive there. Then I headed up to Fenway Park for a ballgame. Perfect!
people like you don,t go there to eat -you go there to pig out. --don,t use the rest room -its full of up chuck from the class people they serve.
I have so enjoyed watching you eat at this place. It all looks fantastic. So many 9s and 10s. You look so happy. Thanks for the video.
Glad you and Bob enjoyed it. I wish I had known about The Nordic. I was in R.I. for work almost every week from Philly in the late 90's early 2000's. Boy, I missed out!
BTW, the original Custy's was on Post Rd, in North Kingstown, R.I. near the Quonset Navy Base.
That's right! Someone here said it was Kingston, but you're correct. I remember the sandwiches were about 6 inches high!
You're definitely getting your money's worth. I have been eating at buffets for over 50 years and you are definitely an experience eater. Whenever I eat filet mignon or prime rib I always get my Au Jus!
The Palms has a lobster buffet on Wednesday nights for $65.00. My treat If you don’t mind waiting in line when I visit Las Vegas in late September. Call me
Where’s the number for him to call? 🤣
He has my phone number
yes, i know john for a while now!
There’s a buffet in California inside the Hilton by universal studios called Cafe Sierra. It’s $140 and there’s King crab legs there. Check it out and maybe do a video 😁
Just went there last week. Go hungry! Definitely worth the money. Lobster bisque was fire!
Yes! Stuffed mushrooms too 😊
I asked you to visit this place and Danny Delivers. great video bud. I see many many views in the future for this one.
You crack me up. Glad to see you hitting the Nordic and weinies. (I’m a Rhode Islander) started watching you cause we are going on the NCL escape next month. Great stuff
Yes, you're eating well. Getting the best things up there for $135.00. You know what you're doing. Nothing but love for you..
🥰🥰🥰
hi dan,this was a great review that is alot of quality food and fresh thank you dan
great place, hope you enjoyed!!
As a long time subscriber that was your best video yet! Danny keep it up! ( I'm talking about your videos!)
Thanks! Will do!
Yummo 🧡
everything looked delish
You hit a home run with this one! When I lived in Boston (1988-1995), the Nordic Lodge was a dream I never got to do. I left 28 years ago. I believe those lobsters are live cooked and not frozen as in Vegas. I am glad you were able to eat there, it brings back memories. BTW, if you brought a date you would not be a cheap steak, I mean a cheapskate. Wonderful vlog!
He doesn't need a date
I will eat mostly lobster until I feel full . Rest for a while, then all seafood and skip the red meat . Before the end of two hours, the last choice is ice cream with fruits . From the restaurant site the prices is include with free drinks, tax and 10% tip.
I love seafood and that buffet looks fantastic. Yep, mouthwateringly fantastic. We put salt on watermelon and then eat. Try it next time, it's really good.
Wait....did Danny really eat 9 lobster's???? OMG the food looks amazing...Wish it wasn't so far away... worth every penny
The seafood looked nice and fresh. The Nordic must've been good since you gave them a generally good and positive review. Lol...I guess they needed to attract the Chinese crowd with the fried rice, lychees, and rambutan. Good to see Bobby with a guest appearance at 13:55 and his arms only at the 17 minute mark. Bobby was a good commentator last time. Why so shy this time? How many lobsters did you eat? 8? They are very filling!
ive always wanted to go there there main lobsters and the lodge is beautiful ty for sharing
This is the best buffet in America, regardless of price!
Omg that's a huge pile of napkins on the table 😳
Just...WOW!! What a feast 😋
actually there's an even more buffet, well Lunch Buffet, outside of San Fran at the Ritz Carlton, ran by 3 Star Chef, its all you can eat off their 3Star Menu $250 per, 300 if Window Seat.
I use to go to the Nordic and you can get the lobster ball and the lobster bisque get a steam lobster cut the tail up and eat the xtra lobster meat in the lobster soup and dip the lobster fritter..love at first sight
DANNY THE MEDIC- VERY high quality items there, I wouldn't know what to choose first!!!!!💯
not anymore. try the hilton hotel universal sierra cafe seafood buffet. AYCE for $139
no more open coupon at suerra?
wow, im stuffed just watching this,, lol. good job Danny!
Wow used to be $125 I might just do Vegas or Biloxi instead
Rhode Island is on my bucket list as is this restaurant now. Thanks, Danny!
I've heard of this buffet too! Hope you got the 10 lobsters like you wanted.
Ugh i went 2 weeks ago for my bday ans i fant wait to gi back...as you see, I'm watching the Vid...best lobster ever!!!!!! Worth every Penny...i didn't wven eat anything in the beef/chicken room
10:52 - do you have enough napkins? 😂
Last time i went to the Nordic lodge it was probably 20 years ago and it was $60, inflation is a mutha fawka. I'm long over due for a trip back there...
Thank you for doing a review of this restaurant. I've been wanting to go there to eat. And you Crack me up. "Food and Travel" channel guys! 😂 JoAnn Sigby
Any time!
Hey, Roy! What’s wrong with eating with your knife and fork?
THE UNIVERSAL HILTON IN LOS ANGELES CALI IS $139 THEY HAVE KING CRAB & LOBSTER & FRIED WHOLE BIG CRAB
OMG thank you! dtm5
Doesn't look like the economy is suffering at all in Rhode Island. I can't believe the amount of people that can afford $135 for ONE meal! Not only that, but it looks like there are multiple families there which means $270 minimum.
There's tour busses that bring people in from as far as Delaware. Most commonly people take them from the CT casinos for a day trip.
That looks FABULOUS!!! Yummmmm!!!
Incredible achievement of downing ten (10) lobsters + all the other stuffs !!!
Both Harvard and Princeton now have Batchelor of Science (BS) degrees in Oyster Shucking. Yep, that's a lot of BS.
Wow I would like 8 years ago when it was 100.00
You should go again..best food ever
I barely pay 14.00 for a buffet much less 165.00 but you go boy do yo thing!!!
Danny, the beef must have been great - you ate both the beef tenderloin steak (16:52) and primeribb with your hands haha (20:12
You also have taken surf and turf to a new unexplored place - lobster and strawberries hahaa 22:08
If only I could afford it now ! Last time I went the price was $75
That’s some good crab crackin there, and the lobster too.
A friend of mine goes there once a year eats about 6 or more lobsters plus everything else then sleeps on the way home.
Does $135 include tip? And how much is the tip?
i dont remember
I would fill up on lobster and raw oysters, a bit of ice cream to clean the pallet. Ummm…..
18:08 - i love fried oysters, even lightly fried, but i just cant bring myself to try them raw.
I love sea scallops but where is your cocktail sauce and fresh lemon?
i am kinda a food separatist, i like food for its natural flavors... my viet friends would order pho and see me eat it plain, they add the red sauce, the leaves, the sprouts and lime and i am like ugghh
@@dannythemedic I don't like much added to my food either. I do like the natural flavor but lemon is a great enhancement for seafood. I was a chef for over 40 years. Everything looks delicious.
Man, You killed me with this one, as much as I love lobster I could taste it right with you !!!
Dude it was SO GOOD.. just too bad it is SO FAR AWAY
That place is 100% about the food
You did well!!
He didnt take the poopchute out of the body!
those taste good
Danny I think that oriental folks have an extra stomach off to the side just for seafood. Ha ha😁😀😊
1:05 Those are Clamcakes, and they're awesome.
Enjoyed Fully...
My biggest regret was not going here during my only time in RI. My wife hates buffets.
"Wow it's so hard" . That's what she said.
Loved going here years ago when it was affordable. Now it is not.
It was NEVER affordable! I remember that for DECADES my decision to not go was both it was SO expensive and SO far away ( from NYC ) .. every year I would bring it up and we ALL be like it is SO FAR and SO EXPENSIVE!
@@dannythemedic But so worth it!
I wonder if your eating your lobster and your 2 hrs are up do they make you drop the lobster and leave?
if I ever go again, I would experiment!
Danny, where is the king crab leg? I saw there are king crab leg before
none!
Wow, by my count - 6 Lobsters!? Worth $135 easily.
Danny was so focused on his mission. No distractions with carbs and deserts. My hero!
it was 10 lobsters and I ate some carbs and deserts!
everything looks good, wow ,3 lobsters in 2 minutes
its actually not alot of food in one lobster... one tail is like two bites...
Was that a coffee pot of butter?
Looks great. You are not the cheap guy you claim to be. Lol. Did someone actually tell you time’s up, after 2 hours?
I'm from RI and, yes, they do. But after 2 hours of non-stop eating, you can't fit much more, anyway!
And Free water
Did you finish the last 3 plates in 2 minutes?
as fast as i could.. waiter was looming!!
Beautiful Lobsters
Thank you dai lo
While you’re in Rhode Island go to Wrights Farm in Burrillville RI DON’t order the STEAK NOBODY DOES.
Mmmm David's cookies
Are you in RI for another tv or movie job?
you need to eat at least 3 of those sea cockroaches to break even.
I been the food was great... they also have llamas I dunno what thats about but Im a sims fan so i dig it lol
the live animals right? yeah, I asked to pet them, they said no.
@@dannythemedic lol yea im not sure why they have them there if you cant touch them
LLM = Lobster Lives Matter will be coming after Danny the Medic. 😁😂
Does anyone know how to use a KNIFE and fork when eating lobster. You don’t bite part of the tail off your fork like a savage.
I am a savage when it comes to eating lobster
😊😊😊wow!! I can't eat that much lobster. Too rich. I'd end up with gout. That's rich man's disease!!
LLM = Lobster Lives Matter will be going after Danny the Medic. :)
I don't get it. This amazing shrimp u give 8.5, but institutional shrimp u give a 7.5
the food scale is in the description!
I'm jealous now.
Hey Danny, do you ever say you like something when you really don't? I honestly have no idea how you can eat so much. After all, you are not a huge guy or anything. I guess it is a good thing you can so we can enjoy your humor and critique.
in life, sometimes u have to.. like the mother in laws ugly blouse, everyone knows its ugly but if you ever want to see the light of day.... but on my channel, never.
