Reviewing The Biggest Buffet In The US - Shady Maple Smorgasbord!

[@arethasD6belt]

$15 is such a good deal!!

[@justj4021]

It depends what day and what time. Breakfast is the cheapest. Dinner is the most expensive

[@Jeffb64]

​@@justj4021yes but if you just pay the additional difference from breakfast to lunch or dinner. So if breakfast is $15 and lunch is $20 dollars you only pay $5 dollars and stay and eat. Same as for dinner.

All the carbs are very filling and cheap.

@TURTLEORIGINAL well I'll eat food there not Turtle soup. 🤣🤣

[@K4t77]

Honestly i love that the pastries are cut in half or quarters so you can try them without having to eat a whole one.

[@thelastminmom5251]

I actually hate that. Looks cheap. Just serve whole donuts and whole cream puffs. It looks bad presentation wise, cut in half. They fall over and the fillings come out. They have to put them in those little doilies and the mess gets everywhere. No thanks! Keep it clean, and serve them whole. No one is making you eat the whole thing? Or they could make smaller desserts. But to cut the crap in half? It’s not a cake. It’s made to be a single item.

BEST PLACE EVER! Plus free meal on your birthday 🎊 I live in York pa can totally confirm.

[@BeAHappyCamper2Day]

Try Dieners on Rt ,30 East or Yoder's instead on 23 heading towards Shady Maple. Go to Green Dragon on a Friday. There's plenty of food at SM, but there food went down hill. Maybe it got better. Of course the desserts always good. Rather shop in York than Park City. I'm in Lancaster neighbor

[@TURTLEORIGINAL]

@@BeAHappyCamper2Day nope.

[@timsartistic7328]

I went there once on a Field Trip to DC, we went there on our last day returning home and I was 15 at the time and had the time of my life. At the time, there were moving conveyor belts and the food came down the line to you without having to walk all over that huge building.

[@ColombianLNP]

Nice to see how things turned around after the accident hope you are feeling better dude. And as always cheers from your Colombian amigo!

[@StephenElliker]

I’m a former employee of Shady Maples Smorgasbord, I served as a host. This popped up in my feed and I got major nostalgia 😂

[@bayjustin3885]

is it as good as he says it is ? 😢

[@Omnibushido-]

@@bayjustin3885 I wouldn’t trust someone else’s pallet to be the same as yours. If you’re in the area and have 15 and some time to spare I def recommend trying it out for yourself. As far as buffets go it’s really good.

[@Michael-gf8pf]

Yes it is! And lunch is even better! Plus free in your birthday!

[@aaronaaron7536]

Do they really consider taking food shoplifting?

[@danfry9812]

To answer the first question.. no

[@braddavis4377]

This place is like a temple for food! And it's good food too 😋 😊

[@tobiasmaiermaus]

It's not good food. You have never eaten his food in your entire life, if you really think that.

[@geraldpatterson3903]

When I went in 2003...yes 2003 to the Beau Rivage in Biloxi...they had their buffet with seafood (about 8 items) and other American type selections was about $33 after tax. Almost ALL of the seafood from that buffet right there on the coastline itself was from Asia, as was almost all of the fruit which was canned dumped into buffet trays. Never been back to a buffet since.

[@janicelaurin7263]

OMG, what an awesome buffet!! Yes, I would wake up early and drive there. There is only one problem....it's over 2,000 miles away from me. 😢 So I will have to pass. But it looks delicious!

[@anthonycatanese8591]

🌽 This restaurant is in the heart of Amish Country. I have been there twice, their fried Chicken is amazing. It is almost like Disney world in the way that you can't really do the whole restaurant in one sitting. If you really wanted to dive into all the breakfast stuff, the lunch and dinner, the soups and breads, not to mention the pastries and desserts. Unless you are Joey chestnut, or Eater X, you would get sick if you tried to eat everything that place has to offer in one day. Thankfully, that part of Pennsylvania is so beautiful that you don't mind making more than one trip. Plan out your family's birthdays because I am pretty sure they treat you extra special on that day... Great Place 🍗🍤

[@PeanutButterRipple]

appreciate you hyping up the town.. it’s an absolute beautiful gem. Gods country for sure. and the smorgasbord is heaven.

[@pattywilliams788]

$15? Dayum, that’s amazing and that food looks delicious, too. 😋😋😋

[@Moe_Lester_fromUptwn]

Depends. I find it overpriced still

[@hisnameisbass6405]

went on our way back from a middle school field trip a while back. place was HUGE. but feel like i didn’t get the full experience since i was still super young and didn’t spend much time there lol

[@cdmjr76]

Sounds like a great place to go during cold and flu season.

[@Capricorn8888]

You're so fking silly 😂😂😂😂😂

[@BeAHappyCamper2Day]

😂. Go after the restaurant inspections. People must not eat good food .

[@TURTLEORIGINAL]

Stupid thing to say.

[@jdub8631]

What a batch

[@bwenluck9812]

I've been eating there for twenty years and I'm still alive!

[@pictureperfectluis]

One of craziest breakfasts I’ve ever had 😵‍💫

[@Slanderbot]

It's not quality food, but it is affordable, and they support the local community. So that's a country mile better than most buffets.

[@FreeYourMind590]

I couldn't live near there. I absolutely love breakfast, I have breakfast everyday and sometimes again for dinner. Going to this place would turn into an addiction for me. I have watched this video soooo many times.I cannot believe the price. 😇😇

[@kyleighd8981]

Getting Groceries at their store too is awesome. Twin Valley coffee is so good ❤

[@TravelingSag]

I like they serve small dessert portions. I want to try everything!

[@debbiemoore1008]

Their apple butter is everything 😩

[@scottsavard80]

McDonald's is pretty much that price these days! I wish I had one like that in my area. We used to have the Country Buffet in Massachusetts

[@ChrisBailey-m5f]

I went there on retreat with teenagers. I was laughing soo hard. All the boys walking to their tables with mountains of meat😂. Everything was amazing!!!

[@jeromebrooks7]

YEEEEES!!!

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Too cute!!!! Thank you for sharing.

You’re welcome 👊🏼

[@georgeschneider333]

​@@pictureperfectluisshady maple is the shit, love that place. Go there when I'm in that area. Philly native

[@BeAHappyCamper2Day]

​@@georgeschneider333 Go to Dieners or Yoder's instead. Read the restaurant inspections for SM and you would change your mind. Both have buffets. Go to Green Dragon market on Fridays and Jacks for prime rib. I live in the area.

Would you dine here?

[@es4086]

Yes

[@bwenluck9812]

I have--many times over!!!

[@ksnewway5171]

I love Shady Maples! I’ve gone there since I was a kid!

[@TheeOne4.44]

Is there anything else there besides Breakfast food? If not, this isn't the standard Buffet, and I've seen better selections at the Casino, China Buffet, and every other Buffet that I've been to. Same amount of space, but a wider range of food, and not just American food. I'm from Chicago so I need Variety - I cook all of the breakfast from Shady Maples at home.

[@your_mommas_bed]

​@@TheeOne4.44they have lunch, dinner, and different themes like surf n turf some nights. But I assure you, you've NEVER had any of these recipes. This place is 100% Amish. It's truly one of its kind.

[@onerainiday]

Thank you for sharing. The last time I was able to attend a smorgasbord was in the 1960s. Would love to live in PA.. Looks so good!

[@MilleniaStone]

We used to do that when I was a kid w my family I love it cause it was a family tradition

[@Shmaples]

That looks bomb! The fact that there's a line makes me feel like it's not one of those sketchy buffets where the food is questionable. I would wake up as early as needed to go somewhere like this. It looks delicious and fun! I'd love to go here with my family..

[@curli-lettey4319]

Heck yeah i will go out on a 2hr drive for all you can eat. i will bring a doggie bag.

[@casualuserish]

thats sad af

[@stacybannon2586]

Can't take a Doggie Bag at a Buffet

[@TURTLEORIGINAL]

Don’t. A doggie bag is for a normal restaurant that you paid for your food at, but cannot finish. People like you ruin it with your STEALING! You must live in California.

[@koralmcmullen3846]

I'm originally from PA and have been to Shady Maple and it's fantastic!!!!❤❤

[@lucious890]

I'm so mad I'm 8 hours away rn, when I'm usually an hour away ugh I'm ready go back home just for this

[@wouldyouratherchoose12]

”Smörgåsbord” is a Swedish word which translates to “Sandwich table” and I do not see the sandwiches

[@denisedivine4283]

Good to know! Here in the USA we’ve adopted the term to many different things or varieties of foods in one place. A popular smorgasbords is one in Bk. A whole bunch of food trucks come to one location and you can have your pick of food and drink.

[@wouldyouratherchoose12]

@@denisedivine4283 I mean that’s not wrong! In Sweden a smörgåsbord is obviously a table filled with small dishes e.g. smoked salmon, ham, skagenröra(shrimps) etc. so I think it makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up for me!

[@O.J._is_Guilty]

Is the US we use it to mean a lot of food

[@thewonderfulwizardoftheweb1053]

This comment makes Swedish people look lame as hell

[@moongoddess1978]

Thank you for showing the shoo fly pie! They are free on your birthday. Love that place. ❤🎉

[@what...5926]

I love this place. You gotta try the dinner

[@BeAHappyCamper2Day]

Before or after the huge bad results from restaurant inspections? Go to Dieners .

[@bwenluck9812]

I prefer their lunch, rather than supper. It's much cheaper!

[@williambrown2331]

Yup it’s like 45mins away. And it’s the best buffet I ever had.

[@georgeneuhauser4752]

Their food is fantastic!

[@kingaustin6985]

That's an amazing deal and I would definitely wake up and go to that all you can eat buffet

[@madat_hatter6914]

Warning: as someone who’s been here enough times, your stomach will not feel the same afterwards, take caution

[@papasquatch2432]

Oh yeah I'd wake up at 5 a.m. for that!! Farm fresh? Sign me up!
