A big thank you to Ridge.com for sponsoring this video! After hearing and seeing about America's largest buffet, the Shady Maple located in Pennsylvania, I had to visit since it's relatively quick trip from New York. A few hours drive along be beautiful landscapes and countryside and we have arrived.
I turns out, the Shady Maple is not only America's largest buffet, but it's an Amish buffet as well. An incredible offering of classic comfort favourites. From crispy fried chicken, melt in your mouth briskets, to that luxurious fork tender roast beef...and if that wasn't enough, how about a Philly Cheese Steak with a side of Seafood Chowder.
A fantastic experience with great food and great people there! Oh, did I mention the desserts? Pie, cakes, ice cream.. you'll be rolling out of there!

@@rebeccahillsares8253 agreed 😋
WOW 🖼! have a super week TIM love from Alberta
That is a pretty nice wallet...
That reminds me of golden corral buffet
I’ve been a chef for 25 years and seeing a clean good buffet always marvels me! The amount of work and organization that is taking place is next to impossible so when you find a buffet like that one they are a gem that deserves all the praise and patronage possible
I remember my Dad waking my brothers, Mom, and I at 5 in the morning on a Saturday telling us we were going out to lunch. Huh?? Who gets up at 5 in the morning to go out to lunch. But to our surprise we would travel from Long Island, New York to Pennsylvania Dutch Country to have lunch at Good & Plenty. It is an Amish Family Style meal with all you can eat. So wish I could turn back the hands of time to spend time with my Family again. Thank you Daddy for the wonderful memories that I hold dear to my heart. 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Thank you so much for sharing this story! It's the experience and the journey that is part of the fun.. really cool ❤️
@@TimLeeLetsGo You are so right. And your welcome. 😊😊😊
I’m from Long Island and I drive there several times a year. Love their food.
I loved Good and Plenty, it was my favorite. It's closed now. The owners got old and the children did not want to carry on the work. The Amish Community bought it and were going to turn it into a medical facility.
Tim has a Mr. Rogers vibe- very calming, respectful and just a nice person to spend time with!
Just grateful to get to connect with everyone here. Thank you so much for your kind comment
Was just gonna make the same comment! His voice and the way he greets everyone by name seriously got Mr Rogers vibes
He really does!
Mister Rogers is the opposite of calming and respectful so I'm really confused by this comment LOL
omg he does remind me of mr rogers!!!!! 🤗🤗
Tim is an oasis of peace, calm, friendliness and understanding in the world of CZcams. I so appreciate this channel!
Thank you so much for your kind comment. Really grateful to get to be a part of this CZcams community 🙂
This was the first time I bumped into one of Tim''s videos. You described the experience perfectly! It was actually very relaxing. I'll definitely be back.
why dont you marry him
@@dr86688 🤔🤔🤔🤔
YES! Well said @Waldenpunk. I'm a fast fan! My @TimLee cherry is popped.
If I lived near that buffet, I don't think I would bother cooking at home very often. I only eat one meal a day, the price is amazing, and with that variety of home style food, it would be difficult to get bored eating there.
It would be very hard to justify cooking yourself when this place is around 😋
@@TimLeeLetsGo Hello.How much is the buffet?
@@TimLeeLetsGo I see that it is $17.Two plates would be enough for me.Thanks.I Iive in Raleigh NC and if I make a trip to Binghamton NY I might stop in.
@@gregorycyr9272 $17.00😮, omg, that's a fantastic price, I paid that much for my burger 🍔 😢
I can see a lot of truckers stopping here to eat. Is the parking area fairly large?
It's really hard to maintain a huge buffet, especially these days. It's rare to find a buffet period, but this one is awesome and totally worth a visit.
It's always nice to find a good Buffet 😋
Rare to find a buffet? Where I live in Pennsylvania we have quite a few buffets
@@loyevangelists but not with the quality of Shady Maple. Though a lot of their money is made from their lower level gift shoppe
Like trying to drink water from a fire hose!

My dad is taking my mom to Lancaster for her birthday in 2 weeks... I'm sending them here for a meal because of your review! Excellent!
That's awesome! And a very happy birthday to her! I've heard the breakfast and the dinners were outstanding 😃
Between that buffet and touring the Smithsonian Afterward. You'll still be in shape. I love buffet. Who ever came up with buffet was a true genius YUM.
A super clean kitchen and world class staff with down home back road cooking just like at granny's old mountain home would be...
I think what has blown me away was the humble kind folks there and in the community.
Oh es!especially!! I really enjoyed my meal while I was there! I'll be sure to go there again!!
The Amish are always humble clean n welcoming. I live in Ohio n love to shop at the Amish shops in middlefeild.
Absolutely new to the Channel here... Tim, I must say you know how to treat the employees with respect. I've been in those shoes before. Thank you for your gratitude. You can clearly see what this kind of respect earns you in return :)
Thank you so much and so glad that everyone were such great sports.. very kind of them all
I'm new too and agree. I'm a subscriber now!!
My wife and I went there about 6 months ago after seeing a review of it. We were amazed by the size of the buffet. Very reasonable price as well. The gift shop is huge!
The gift shop was quite nice and fun to explore! Did you see the quilts?
Do you know what the costs are for senior citizens to dine here, either for breakfast or for lunch? Over 60 years old.
There is a 10% discount for seniors
Not sure these corporate providers can call themselves Amish anymore!
were is it located
I appreciate the way you use all foods as a vehicle for gravy delivery ❤
I love how Tim knows everyone name and addresses each one with respect💞
Staff have their name embroidered on their shirts
@@cjenkins8785 A lot of people's aren't. I think he asks ahead of filming or edits the part where he asks out. Either way, it's a great touch.
Cademan, my real question is how does he eat all that food and remain slim?
Absolutely grateful that everyone there were so friendly and such good sports 🙂
The Lord Jesus sure does make a lot of very good food ,
The Amish people really know how to cook and bake. I’ve had so many great meals while in Amish country.
The owners are not Amish they are Pennsylvania Germans.
@@jeffhampton2767 everything looked so good
@@jeffhampton2767 And they are different how?
@@mikeymutual5489 They're completely different, do research on the internet
@@jeffhampton2767 I know that all Pennsylvania Dutch are not Amish. Too bad, I'm still calling them that.
Bravo and hats off to the Amish! They really know how to make a buffet and make it the largest and one of the best in America! Hope to go there again soon!
Who would have thought 😋
What a guy! Thank you for taking us along with you. Definitely a new place on my bucket list! 👍🏾
Would highly recommend and hope you get a chance to visit soon 😋
I have very fond memories of visiting this wonderful buffet over the years. I have not been there in the past 15 years, and it is good to see it thriving and expanded its menu items. The food is always good and the people who work there are amazing and so friendly. We always stopped in their gift shop and shopped at their supermarket next door. So glad you had a good time there!
It is indeed an incredible place.. I visited the gift store afterwards but just didn't have enough time to fully do it justice...
Used to go with my grandparents that had an RV/trailer in the Lancaster area. So fun as a kid/teen, and definitely huge! Haven't been in probably 20 years but glad to see it's still there and looking great, might need to take a trip back over soon :)
Their gift shop and supermarket are awesome! I haven't been there in quite some time but plan to get back there sometime in the next year or so. Can't wait!
I absolutely love how you are always smiling to the staff and also to us when looking into the camera. Such a genuine smile and personality 😊. Great video!
Really grateful that everyone there were such great sports... A really fun and welcoming place to be 🙂
I’ve been there a number of times…having grown up not far from the area. Always fresh and delicious food, considerate and friendly staff, and a fantastic gift shop on the bottom floor!!!
I think he hit on the keyword here very considerate and friendly staff
I love Shady Maple! I live in Pennsylvania, and I frequent their buffet. So awesome of you to visit and treat everyone with so much respect. Awesome!
It was absolutely a most memorable time... Food was great and people were absolutely welcoming and friendly
I've been to Shady Maple many times over the years. I have close friends in Reading, PA. We tend to go when it's someone's birthday because the birthday person eats for free. The buffet is quite vast, the food is delicious and the staff is very friendly.
I can't think of a better way to celebrate a birthday. The free birthday meal would be icing on the cake
Hi Tim! This is the first video I'm seeing of you. You are so nice and kind and treat others with respect! I love that about you. Also you did an amazing video at Shady Maple. Being a Pennsylvania native I've been there twice it's been awhile but I plan on going back this summer with family. Can't wait. If you have never eaten here you really should try it. The food and the prices are unbelievable. That price includes price and tip. They tell you no tipping at the table. And drinks! Thank you again Tim! Great video!
Thoroughly enjoyed the experience at the shady Maple. The food, the people, and the community are absolutely amazing. You live in such a great place 🙂
I lie my mashed Potatoes thicker than that ,, But other than that looks very tasty
Living in Delaware, we venture to Shady Maple every so often. The ham meatballs or ham loaf s one of our family’s favorite buffet items. We always make sure to take a cooler and stop at their grocery store to get some of their oven-ready ham loaf mix. It’s very good made into meatballs and cooked with pineapple, green pepper, and onion. Even if you don’t have time for the buffet, they used to have a luncheon kiosk as you entered the grocery store where they ran daily specials. Awesome place and well worth the trip!
It's nice that you're so close by.. those ham meatballs were absolutely delicious.. wasn't sure what to expect when I first tried it. Their make goods are really good too!
The luncheon kiosk is gone. It's some kind of store now. The smaller buffet beneath the big Smorgasbord is also gone now. My mother used to like to go there because she couldn't walk a lot and that was easier for her. The Smorgasbord is still great though! :)
I would driven from Chicago just to try this buffet. Perhaps on my way to Gettysburg this summer
They didn't have many buffets in the Phillipines but the night markets were almost as good. Great Lechon
Yeah, I like the ham balls too!
That is one huge buffet!! I'd be lost in there! Everything looks so delicious! The Amish are really hard working and dedicated to everything they do! Never knew this place existed. You enjoy that wonderful meal! So glad your video popped up!!!
The food was absolutely amazing. Nothing fancy, just comforting food at its finest
I'd go to NY just to eat at that buffet
WOW Tim! I wish I lived across the street from this magnificent buffet! Heaven on earth.
I'm 45 minutes away. Parts of Pennsylvania are heaven like.
Me too! But hopefully they may need to have a gym nearby or maybe a barn raising event or two🙂
Thank you Tim for taking us along on this culinary adventure.
Thank you so much for connecting, really grateful to get to visit and share these experiences
I'm always amazed at the amount of food and servings in America and food prices are still very good in comparison to so many other countries.
It's quite an amazing deal here... Quite a difference from the New York prices
The US has cheap food for the most part, except Hawaii and Alaska but mangos Canada bad Tim! I always miss the fresh veggies and fruit that are cheap in Europe.
One of the reasons why so many Americans are obese.
Oh my god 😅 this is the second review I’ve seen of this buffet I ate at in 2008 during my Southern California school’s US History trip while in Amish Country, thank you for unlocking a memory 🫰🏼
I wish I got a chance to spend more time in that community.. so much more to explore
I love Shady Maple. It is a little over an hour from our home. The pink eggs are pickled in beet juice, They have a lot of traditional Pennsylvania Dutch food. Delicious!!!
That's nice to know it's natural coloring
u r so lucky
Holy Moly that brisket, philly cheesesteak, and seafood. Glad you enjoyed it Tim!
That was such an incredible deal for all that for only $17 😋
@@TimLeeLetsGo brisket..yum, yum
I love how everyone is so friendly and welcoming. All the food looks amazing!
Yeah, Canadians are nice and polite.
These place is huge and so clean! Lots of food choices too! I like the option of grilled shrimp over fried. It seems like watching these food shows on tv, so many fried and plastered in habanero and other spices like that. It’s nice to have options that don’t mean I’m going to suffer heartburn later on.
WOW! Have to check this place out!
Also watching Tim discuss the foods as he's eating, it almost felt like the late Bob Ross at the buffet table!
Buffet on a canvas 😀👍
I like Bob Ross! 😃
I could only eat as much as two plates, but I love the vibe and atmosphere there. Thanks for the video Tim. BTW $17 is pretty decent.
This lamb would say two plates for $17 is enough to graze on comfortably.
Two plates would be worth the while 😋
@@TimLeeLetsGo .........was that price for lunch and breakfast buffet...?
@@jeffsmith8842 that was for lunch. But I heard the breakfasts and the dinners were the best times to go
This is one buffet you can justify easily due to the cheap cost
I've seen a couple of CZcamsrs go to this buffet, but it sure is wonderful to see a fellow Candian enjoy the down home comfort food served at this buffet and get your opinion on it. Tim, thank you once again for another great video!
Thank you so much and just incredibly grateful to get to attend and share these experiences.
This place is amazing! Not only is the buffet but they also have a store. It’s huge so wear your walking shoes!
I did get a chance to explore the store downstairs and it was a perfect way to walk off the lunch🙂
What a nice guy! What a buffet! Reasonable priced!
Just really good comforting food ..nothing fancy or pretentious
You are such a sweetheart of a person, Tim, and im so happy to have found you! I often thank CZcams creators for keeping me company, and you beat me to it! Life is so unbearably hard for so many people, and you are such a bright light. Thank you for acknowledging the deep need for connection in the person you are speaking to, especially by saying their name. It's powerful. Love and light to you, safe travels 💖🙏🏼🕊
Thank you so much for reaching out! Really means a lot and incredibly grateful to be able to connect with so many people here 😃. Wishing the very best to you 🙂
@@TimLeeLetsGo Tim u are a certified G my guy. for real Boo speaks nothing but facts here
@@TimLeeLetsGo Aw, ty for replying 🥲🥰🤗
Been there several times. Although it's considered a little bit of a tourist trap, it's definitely good food! Lancaster County has so many great places to eat.
Absolutely love this place and the one regret I have is not having enough time to visit the other places 😋
There are so many good things to eat in Lancaster. I have been visiting since I was a child. I can remember when Kitchen Kettle was just the farmhouse and the smell of apple butter being made greeted you as you turned on to 340. Bird in Hand Market is fun and has tasty things, and a nice restaurant, too. Immerguts Pretzels, Groffs homemade candy, and the jam and jellies at Kitchen Kettle are wonderful, too.
Thank you so much for the great recommendations and my one regret was not spending enough time there.. got to go back
Tim’s the only CZcamsr who addresses the wait staff ❤
Really grateful that everyone were such good sports😀
Watched you for many years, happy for all your success. My wife and I are always amazed at the size of each and every large bite of food. You really can take down a Buffet. LOL
Thank you so much again! Just incredibly grateful to get to visit and share these experiences.. it's a very nice break from the stresses at work etc
Watching you enjoy all that delicious food was a treat in itself. You have made me hungry now. Thanks for taking us along to Shady Maple.
Thank you Susanne... Incredibly grateful to be able to visit these places and share the experience with everyone here. Thank you again
I was driving around Amish Country. Drove up to a dirt lot full of Amish carts with horses. The sign said chicken lunch. The food was great! I was the only non Amish in the cafeteria. Great experience! I was treated real good. Ps.I think lunch cost me $6!
What a nice experience...so nice to find unexpected lunches 😀
I don’t know how you managed to fit all that food in your tummy.. the staff seemed very helpful and knowledgeable about the food. Thank you for showing the video. Regards from U.K.
Now you're in my neck of the woods. There are many great buffets in Eastern Pennsylvania. Mount Airy Casino buffet in the Pocono Mountains is super good and upscale with a lot of seafood and prime rib and sometimes crab legs. Happy you came to the great state of Pennsylvania!
Jeff, you live in such an amazing area. Absolutely blessed with such a great community... They are good people.
Okay, you've convinced me, definitely heading back 😋
Miller’s in Ronks PA is amazing.
Miller’s in Ronks, PA has a great buffet but they are more expensive than Shady Maple.
Have been there once and it was well worth the small drive we had , absolutely amazing how huge it is ! Food is wonderful and don’t forget to go downstairs to the gift shop! Pricey but amazing
Everything looks so delicious 😋! Thank you for sharing this “all you can eat place!”
I could see the rude old customers in the background, because they didn't think you were moving fast enough. So funny to see rudeness in action. You are a breath of fresh air Tim Lee.
LoL... It was a great experience and I did realize I was holding up the line 😆
I think the chicken 'gravy' you liked so much is actually 'Chicken-a-La-King!'
It is
I think it's Pennsylvania Dutch chicken pot pie. I am local and go to this buffet.
It's not gravy but I dont think it's chicken a la king, a la king usually has mushrooms and a lot of cream
Chicken a la king or creamed chicken. The recipes are similar. And the ‘roast beef’ was pot roast
Ah.. that would explain it...it's definitely gravy with substance
I love your positivity and gratitude. You have such a great attitude about everything and you're so kind to everyone you interact with. Thank you for the great video!
Incredibly grateful for all the servers and hosts to be so welcoming and friendly. They were such good sports 😃
Just to be clear ( to those not familiar with Shady Maple ), $17 is for the Lunch Buffett Monday- Friday. Saturday lunch and dinner( all week) is higher.
I worked at a Golden Coral in Glendale AZ back in 2008 This Looks very similar LOTS of great choices
At any other buffet that price wouldn't even cover a tip....it's more than reasonable...it's incredible !!!
The Amish don’t mess around when it comes to food. Best buffet on the planet and what’s amazing is it’s so inexpensive !
Shady maple is amazing. Thank you for sharing with the world.
I am crying inside, it is soooo far away from me. I will remember to go there if I get to that part of the country. Thanks Tim for bringing us here.
Hope you get a chance to visit and it is quite a nice Journey...
This video brought back so many memories of when I lived in Philly and also Lancaster County and we would go a couple of times per year, when we were in the area. So delicious! I went so many times but I never got to try everything because their offerings seem endless… And the country store on the ground floor was so cute and had so many unique items for sale.
Really enjoyed this and it made me hungry! Tim, you’re so respectful and kind 😊
Thank you Tim for sharing ! Amish buffet amazing home cooking ! Safe travels !
Thank you again Gail, really enjoyable and all the best to you as well 🙂
Tim your video of Shady Maple is amazing. Your demeanor is wonderful and my wife and I loved listening to you. We have subscribed and look forward to more of your videos. Wish there were more people in this world with the kindness and respect you showed to the staff at the restaurant. Hope you have a wonderful day. Don & Nancy.
Hi Don and Nancy, thank you for taking the time to reach out and really appreciate your kind comment. Really grateful to connect with everyone here on this CZcams community. With the daily stresses at work and the day-to-day, I'm just incredibly grateful to get to visit and share these experiences.
Meeting my grand and great grands at 11:30 for lunch today . I live here , she's in De with the babies .
Always awesome with you Tim. What an amazing place. Everything looked so amazing. The market was a plus! ..Thank you for your videos. When I been a laid back trip with good food I go to you. Cheers from your Florida fans. ✨✌️💜🌴👍😋
Greetings from vancouver.. we just had a major snowfall and wishing I was in Florida right now 🙂
Omg! Smart move dipping the seafood croquet into that seafood soup❤
I studied my combinatorics back in university 😉
Looks amazing & so delicious and Thank You so much for taking us all with you! YUM!
Blessings to you, Tim!🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻
Wow this came up on my feed. I’m so happy. I’m originally from near that area and used to go there all the time. On your birthday, if you have one paying customer you get your meal for free! I get home sick sometimes so this made me smile.
Thank you for this video ❤
I actually live about 25 minutes from this buffet and honestly, though the price is a little steep (if I recall about $20-25), It's been a staple restaurant in my life for over a decade. Especially enjoyed best for free on your birthday! No matter if you come here for the breakfast, lunch, or dinner buffet, it's always a hit. A few things that weren't showcased in this video include the gigantic store underneath the entire square footage of the building with a variety of awesome products, as well as the entire additional buffet that is down a corridor at the end of the main buffet line. I love this buffer and most likely will continue to come here for years to come and would suggest taking the drive to this establishment to anybody. Plus you can enjoy Lancaster county as well!
Even $25 is a deal for that amount of food and the variety.
@@ItsNumberSeven Agreed. Tim said $17 for lunch and you get a special deal if you go for lunch dinner. Either way you are right that $25 is still a bargain for the selection and also the quality of food (verified by food vloggers Tim Lee, Mikey Chen, Mark Wiens, etc...)
I guess its a regional thing too because even $25.00 for this selection of home cooked from scratch food where i live would be a BARGAIN…in socal, one can spend more than 25 bucks on one person at a drive through, easily….
@@vodkarocket1 yeah, update*" I went about 2 weeks ago and it was $28.99 per adult before tax. Group of 4 of us cost $123. This is what I mean when I refer to how it can be rather pricey. But I've also been to buffets in Vegas and elsewhere when prices can exceed $70 a person.
I've been to that buffet many times. It's every bit as good as you say. Excellent review. I appreciate your attention to detail and accuracy.
Great to hear from a fellow diner! I heard many people say that their breakfast and dinners were actually even better... Is that true?
Breakfast is really good. A lot of options to choose from. @TimLeeLetsGo
I love how everyone is so friendly and welcoming. Very nice 😍
Such a pure soul, kind hearted, benign and respectful 🙏
Mr Lee, many people have assumed for decades that it is pronounced Pennsylvania Dutch, but I did a little research after living in PA for 14 years, and I found out it is not Pennsylvania Dutch, but the proper name is Pennsylvania Deutsch. (German)
In the past many Deutsch people(Germany) flowed over in Pennsylvania giving it its name. In American, when we cannot pronounce a word. We give it our interpretation, and no one corrects. So.....Generations later..I speak TRUTH.
I have the food was delicious.
I can certainly see the German influence at the shady Maple... From the wonderful hams to the apple strudel
I am PA Dutch and it's pronounced that way but back in the 1700s when our families came, it was PA Deutch and mispronounced as Dutch
I really enjoy your sweet personality Tim! Just discovered your channel. Love how you show all the food and mingle with the staff.
Thank you so much for reaching out.. absolutely grateful to get to connect with everyone here
I LOVE Shady Maple! I lived in PA for 2 yrs, fairly close to Shady Maple. The fried chicken & roast beef…the best! I’m back in CA now…I miss Shady Maple!
Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed living the experience vicariously.
It's an absolute pleasure getting to connect with everyone here. Thank you so much for taking the time to reach out
Yes, Shady Maple is THE BEST Amish buffet! Amazing, delicious comfort food!
Such a great experience. Very enjoyable place with the food and the people
Love Shady Maple buffet!!! The food is really tasty! They also have a great selection of sofas and juices and also a really nice gift shop on the lower level!!
I had to work off the lunch with a walk through their gift shop.. love the quilts 🙂
@@TimLeeLetsGo haha! my family always says the same thing!!! depending where you get seated in the restaurant can be a trek itself! then add the gift shop even more! My Dad usually waits upstairs for us! Too much for him! 😅
Very nice video! I got hungry just watching, thank you for sharing your experience.
I had to watch this again, I love Lancaster and try to get there at least once a year. This video is making my mouth water. I KNOW how good that Amish food is!
Their cooking is hearty and filling. Amish Pea Salad is my favorite.
They were just so many dishes and I knew I missed some gems.. got to try that pea salad
Their bakery in the store is fabulous!
Loved visiting Shady Maple as a kid. Next time i visit home (NJ) from FL i will definitely be making a stop over
Love this video so much! He was so calm and relaxing!
The people there was great! The food was just honest to goodness, comfort food at its finest
In three years of watching you, I think that pickled egg is the only thing you truly didn't care for! I appreciated how thoroughly you show the offerings. Mahalo~
It was a strange texture... Was fully prepared for the sourness of the pickling, but it was just a texture.
I enjoy pickled eggs but I enjoy them more with either salt or Sriracha sauce on them to kinda offset the rubber-like texture.
It’s a commercial kitchen and most of the food is commercial grade, it’s literally just a buffet playing on the Amish name. No different than when you see a farmers market with an Amish stand. You say to yourself, wow it’s an Amish stand, it has to be good. It’s usually no different than going to your local grocery store because they all sell the same stuff! It’s a marketing ploy! They can be just as shady as anybody else!
@@edbergmannI sense jealousy from someone who has never been there and enjoyed the price to quality comparison. Hope your lackluster employees at the Golden Corral treat you as well as they do here, and you can get homemade pies from local farm stands.
I’ve worked in many kitchens and Shady Maple blows any of them out of the water.
@@richardhendersen5418 sorry dude, when I was in restaurant management I worked high-end not slop troughs!
Another wonderful video Tim. I was in Lancaster, PA last year(only a 10 mile drive from this buffet) and didn't even know this place exist?? Gotta try it next time.
Make sure you go! Highly recommend it. And from the comments, I think the dinner buffet is the one to go to!
Yummy! Everything looked so good! Thx for taking us along!
I'm going tomorrow! This is such a good review and makes me more excited!
I just found your channel and really enjoying it. I’ve subscribed.
In America we eat the hot bacon dressing on spinach leaves with bacon and croutons but I like tomatoes also and traditionally it has hard boiled egg. I use to make it, now I need to again! Lol
Everything looks delicious! I hope to go there one day to eat. I’ve been to Pennsylvania and the people are so nice!
Since I’m new, what state or country do you live in!? I’ll have to look up more videos.
Thank you so much and really grateful to get to connect with everyone here. Much appreciate the insight about the hot bacon dressing ... will need to do it the right way 😋. I think that's my new favorite dressing
I'm in Vancouver Canada
Thanks for making this video Tim. I feel like I'm right there eating with you. I hope one day I can make it to that buffet. Did they have actual custard pie? Looking forward to the next video. 😋👍🍗
What a fantastic buffet. Thx Tim. Your shows are great. Love it
Thank you so much for your kind comment 🙂
What swell channel. The buffet itself should be the star, but Tim is the best host I have encountered in a long while. Friendly, accessible, and easy to spend time with.
Thank you for your kind comment... just grateful to the to visit and share these experiences 🙏🙂
Oh wow that buffet looks amazing. Before I got sick I could handle a good buffet. At least 3 plates. Now I don't even go. 2 bites and I'm done. I live vicariously through you. Lol. Great video
I'm sick and handicapped now and can no longer eat at a buffet.
I hope you're keeping well. Hopefully you can get a variety of very small portions
I wish New York was like this. The people, environment, atmosphere plus the price.
Just spectacular... The community and the people
I wish NY had a buffet like this lol. We starve in upstate NY
I love that u call every person u came n contact w/by their names. It's so respectful n kind.😉💞
Really grateful that everyone was so kind and welcoming.. really enjoyable time here
Loved the class presentation on food etc etc.thank u all
This place is amazing and definitely an experience! The first time I went I couldnt eat much because of my throat being damaged, but I went back after my operation just to try it again, beautiful place and the gift shop downstairs is so big is mesmerizing. Complete with a fast food restaurant in the corner.
Glad to hear you got to go back once you healed up. And hope you're keeping well
@@TimLeeLetsGo Thank you very much sir, exceptional video! I think I may be going back soon according to the misses!
@@mikevasapollo6349 The restaurant in the basement is gone now. Just the gift shop is still there.
@@debhouckscraftycottage9288 Really ?! It has been a while since I've been, I think the wife is making plans now. Thank you!
@@mikevasapollo6349 Yes, I used to take my disabled mother there as it was hard for her to stand or even wait long in lines and she preferred the smaller restaurant to the buffet. But pre-pandemic I took her there and it had closed. Also, the sandwich shop at the end of the Market building closed as well and I think recently became like a gift shop or home goods store or something. Not sure as I didn't go in that last time I was up.
Been there several times. I love the variety of food served there, especially the sea food
There was a surprisingly large selection ... Great value
The food looks so delicious Tim, thank u so much 4 sharing
It was such a great experience 🙂
I always love your videos. This was very informative to see. You are so kind and you can tell the ones that raised you were very kind people, too.
Do you happen to know if the dinner is different than the lunch?
I really enjoy how you go to the buffets to eat the marvelous foods available, providing mouth watering commentary! You make it about the food and your audience. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much again for your very kind comment 🙂
That Amish buffet looks amazing. I hope you enjoyed your lunch/brunch/dinner.
Thanks so much. Really enjoyed the lunch. From the comments though, I heard the breakfasts and dinners were something not to miss
Everything looks of good! I visited the pokonos once, I think I remember this place!
Looks amazing and absolutely delicious, & he has the most pleasant way of presenting the awesome buffet 👍
