I am really enjoying listening to you I think this is the first time I'm writing and you have so far given me relaxing pleasure your voice is soothing your choices of food or unbelievable thanks for making me happy I am lying here in bed recovering from covid had all my shots booster I don't go anywhere I go to dialysis dialysis excuse me and come home I'm an amputee and I just chill and watch you guys I watch everybody but guess what I really like watching you thanks so much for giving me relaxing pleasure it's very important to me right now I've been so sick and I'm here to tell you about it but you have a good night and I'm going to try to watch all your videos I know it's like 2:00 in the morning but I feel uptight and this is crazy so you have a good night and I'll probably be more opinions oh I can get opinionated so not towards you to ridiculous stupid people go when they're out there peace 🕊️

[@FanOBarbaro]

I just want to compliment tim on the fact that he greets each employee individually by first name and with a friendly "how are you?"..as someone who worked in retail and restaurants, I really appreciated it when people recognized me as an individual and greeted me by name. It stuck out and made me remember that customer for the next time

Thank you so much for your kind comment and really glad that everyone there were such good sports.. The sovereign hosts makes the experience special

Presentation wise, this is one of the best seafood buffets I have seen on KZbin. The lobster, the prime rib and filet mignon looked delicious, as well as everything else. The employees and patrons were very friendly. Your stomach is a bottomless pit for all that food in one sitting.

[@Mountain_Valley_Sky]

Tim, you do a great job of showing how wonderful the staff & the food are here. I'm sure you realize how jealous we all are to see you enjoying this experience so much. Mostly because very few of us have access to anything like this in our own areas. Makes a person want to plan a trip to this buffet ! Thanks fir showing us that America is not what the main stream media wants us to believe. It's full of great people, being kind & helpful to 1 another. Enjoying great food!

Hey Tim! So nice you got to enjoy The Nordic Lodge! It is only about 7 minutes from me and my niece works there( saw her in your video)! I can attest to the quality of their food and the fact that they treat their staff like family. They are a truly wonderful family and deserve much success. I am lucky to visit their buffet at least once a year. So happy you are giving these folks some well deserved accolades! 👍👍

The staff seemed genuinely happy to be working there and serving customers. It’s funny how much difference it makes to the overall experience. Take note managers, happy staff add to the atmosphere of any service industry. The staff also seemed comfortable being filmed, I suspect it might be the outgoing nature of most Americans. I’m glad you had a good time Tim. Buffets outside of Vegas are very interesting. 🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴Keep it up!🥂❤️

Hi Tipper, that's so true and the genuiness and graciousness certainly does show from everyone. I must say, that from behind the scenes, this was one of the most welcoming experiences I have had anywhere. As tasty as the foods were (and believe me, there were delicious), it was the people there that made the difference! Thanks again and a very happy holidays to you and yours.

[@tiajuanahull3104]

I found the Nordic 5 years ago. And talw my mother there every year for her birthday. The freshness of the seafood alone is worth every penny. But the atmosphere and staff takes this place over the top. Highly recommend everyone visits at least once. Even though once your there it won't be your last time lmaoo

[@JACKDAWFISH]

So glad people have discovered us. The seafood in Rhode Island is as good as anywhere in the world. Thank you for pointing out that the people there put it over the top. In southern Rhode Island the people are still friendly and welcoming unlike say in New York City or most American cities.

[@chriseidam7319]

I'm dying to go to the Nordic Lodge. My wife and I talk about it from time to time. The problem is, she is only 105 lb and would not be able to eat enough to make it worth her while. But I want to go with her. I think we're just going to go this year anyway. Overall, I think Rhode Island consistently has the best food of any state in which I've traveled. I've lived in Florida. I've lived in the Chicago area. I've lived in Southern California. I've eaten in approximately 25 states, and I'm from Rhode Island and live again in Rhode Island now. Rhode Island has more privately-owned family restaurants than any other state per capita. It also has more bars and nightclubs per capita of any state in America. Rhode Island is such a cool place to go out and get a meal and grab some entertainment. It features more annual festivals than any other state in the country, at over 900. We just had the Newport Folk Festival last week. I think it was two weeks before that that we had the Charlestown Cajun Food Festival that brings in tens of thousands of people to eat seafood. All your points of interest - great restaurants, historic sites, entertainment venues, the finest and most-varied architecture in the Western Hemisphere in the capitol city of Providence, a world-class art museum, and nature preserves - are all condensed into a tiny place where everything is just 30 minutes away and parking is easy. You could be in one of the Impressionists painting rooms at the famed Rhode Island of School of Design Art Museum and be the only one in the room looking at a Van Gogh, then 30 minutes later you could be hiking trails in old-growth forests with ponds, cliffs, streams and rivers. There are probably a thousand restaurants in Rhode Island that serve excellent seafood. But of course, The Nordic Lodge is one of the legendary seafood restaurants of Rhode Island. Come and visit in the summer. Your mind will be blown. Taylor Swift didn't buy her summer home here for nothing. Before the end of this year, mark my words, I will have my feedbag stuffed with Nordic Lodge delicacies.

@16:32 Gary says it's the best buffet "this side of the Mississippi." I live in Oregon, and going by this video, I would argue that the Nordic is likely the best buffet this side of the West Coast!

I'm sorry if I put you on the spot for this question but between this buffet and Cafe Sierra, which one do you like better 😁

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Thanks again David! I hope you get a chance to go and it's actually quite comparable to the cost of a Texas State Fair ;-). It was a great experience and I think your kids would love the ice cream sundae bar! The clams and oysters are quite interesting, they seem a lot more brinier out east than on the west coast! Very different; and very good. Cafe Sierra and The Nordic is a very close one. I believe Cafe Sierra actually has a greater selection of items (and all of which are good). I think what set this apart was the hospitality there; food was amazing also and while it was hard to show, those lobsters at the Nordic was huge...(not the canner lobsters). Actually, from behind the camera, it was really the good natured and welcoming/attentive hosts and servers that made it special. Anyhow, can go wrong with either place.

Omg, this is the one and only restaurant that I'd like to patronize. Maybe this summer we can drive over there, eat, spend the night and drive back the next day.

Hello Tim and thank you for sharing your experience at The Nordic Buffet. So many choices . Seafood and steaks and desserts oh my! What an awesome staff,too.And Mikey Chen recently was there,too. Enjoy you both.Merrill 💖

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Hi Merrill, it was certainly an amazing place! The good folks there seem to take pride in their food and hospitality and it shows. Thanks for the heads up, and I did see Mikey Chen's video there... Gosh, wish I knew about using the lobster bisque as a dip for lobster! That would have been nice...maybe next time ;-D

[@brianh2834]

Yourself & the staff are so friendly to one another… like Chick-fil-A/Trader Joe’s at a buffet… all customers/service workers should have interact this way

[@twdjt6245]

At first I thought it wasn’t worth the 125$, since everything they had so far was the same as you see at my local 15$ Chinese/American buffet…..but then you got to the lobster, the king crab, the filet mignon, and those absolutely epic looking desserts…oh my. Just kept getting better and better lol. Definitely putting on my must visit list.

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Oh Jen! You gotta go for it. It was quite the experience and as good as the food was, the people were even better! All the best to you!

[@twdjt6245]

@@TimLeeLetsGo if I went, I’d have to eat mostly seafood, steak, and desserts to feel like I’d gotten my money’s worth, but it’d be totally worth it IMO 😂

[@stephens9462]

I still don’t think I could eat $125 worth of food in one sitting to make it worthwhile, especially factoring in I’m married so it would be $250, but I guess it’s something you do for the experience. But the buffet at Caesar’s Palace would be in the same league for about $85 per person.

[@howellwong11]

@@stephens9462 Caesar's Palace can do it cheaper because it has more traffic.

[@tomatolady11]

Holy Moly... I think this IS the best Buffet I have seen on your channel. Awesome!!!

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

This is definitely one of the best if not the best experiences I've had.. and the food was very good, and I think the people just made it extra special. A very nice place. I hope you're doing well and a very happy holidays to you and yours 🙂

[@miguelmarenger1988]

Just looking at this guy makes me happy.. there is something about him that bring happiness. That buffet was awsome.

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Thank you for your very kind comment Miguel, just having fun here with the videos😉

[@DanVsWorld]

Wow whole Lobster at a buffet? Can’t beat that 🙌🏼

[@tommurphy6429]

The 'cap' on the PrimeRib was nice and wide, the best part, me thinks. KingCrab and Lobster! Yummm. Nice of you to bring this friendly place to the rest of the world SirTim.

[@marlenepajon4608]

Wow, everyone is so genuinely friendly. The price is too steep for me, I don't think I could eat enough to make it worth while

[@MindKontrolleProject]

Nice job Tim. Your friendly and cordial demeanor to the staff is a welcoming site to see. Buon Appetito

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Thank you for the kind comment Mike! Very grateful that everyone there were so welcoming and such good sports!

[@Xuevium]

This video was honestly very well done and really enjoyable 👍🏼💯

[@tonynguyen501]

Look so fresh and so much varieties. Caesar's palace, Bellagio's, Wynn, and Cosmopolitan take notes.

[@YASTravelsEatsWell]

Very impressive first-class buffet with a very impressive selection of top quality shellfish! Good selection of other dishes & desserts to be enjoyed after filling up on the King Crab & Lobster. Too bad it's located off-the-beaten-track, but if you're driving from NYC to Boston it could be very convenient for dinner & a local AirBnB for the night😄⭐

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Hi Laurence, yeah, it was quite the trek to get there but a roadtrip from NYC to Boston would be a great route! Very much enjoyed it and very good quality seafood there 😋

[@gopissoff]

I usually stay overnight in mystic so don't have to drive all the way back after I go cousin Eddie at the buffet lol

[@monalichakraborty1316]

Excellent video. Thank you🙏🏻 Keep up the great video making and delicious munching work...I wish I could go there and have many of the buffets you show through videos! Great video this particular one.

[@michaelp.nguyen7872]

Great video, thanks for sharing this with us Tim! Just curious, why were some people’s faces blurred out, and most others weren’t? I wish we had a buffet like this in Vancouver!

[@michaelp.nguyen7872]

@Common Sense With Elizabeth So Tim was able to get permission from every single other person, even those that passed by for 1 second? Really??

[@jennifercrawford-jazzbaby1991]

I so enjoy watching Tim eat! I would eat lobster nonstop with warm butter! Tim if ever want a buffet partner who enjoys eating almost as much as you do… let me know! 🙌😁👍

[@hello.elliot]

I'd swear he's from Minnesota, he's so nice. And all the food looks so great- yum. Going to visit!

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Thank you for the very kind comment and hope you get a chance to give it a try. Hmm...I wonder how the cuisine is like in Minnesota...😉

[@finglo9521]

Great video..like how u the tell whole story on how your travel from to and to your destination..every step of the way.

[@meldkmo9290]

I been there twice this year, you have to bring your own asian home- made sauce for the seafood makes it better. But, you have to be able to eat to get your money's worth, I only ate 2 lobsters. Beutiful vicinity too. Love your video's Tim, you convinced me to go eat in Canada. SUPPORT FROM NY!

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Thank you Meldkmo! That would have been a great tip! As good as butter was, a little bit of spice would make it even better 😃. Warmest greetings to you from Vancouver Canada 🙂

[@hollywade6761]

Tim is the perfect dining companion.

[@brianoconnor5972]

Love your videos. You seem like a very happy guy and you describe the food very well

[@upstatenewyork]

Did you drive back home after dinner? Love your videos. I smile when you say “ooh” and “wow”, you are a lot of fun. Thank you for making us feel we are there with you.

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Hello Upstate New York 🙂, yes, the drive back to Manhattan was quite relaxing and much quicker! The drive through Rhode Island and Connecticut was wonderful....and then, once we entered New York, not so much 😉. Thank you again!

[@ceciliaalicea4550]

I went to The Nordic Lodge last week. It was a wonderful food experience. Can’t wait to go back.👍🥰

[@kittiebell1173]

We Love NORDIC LODGE praying things go back to normal so we can go back 😁🙏

I am definitely planning a trip to see for my self. It looks DECADENTLY DIVINE!

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

That's awesome and I think you'll be quite pleased. So wonderful to be able to take trips again.. hopefully this will continue 😉

[@marylisajones1]

I’m not even hungry and everything looked so delish haha. I fwd this video to my son who loves seafood. He’s in Ohio, but maybe he’ll make the trip for primo seafood. Good job Tim reviewing this buffet👍🏾
