Emissions Offset for the round trip flight (Vancouver to New York) was purchased from Less Emissions (www.less.ca/en...) for 0.76 tonnes (ref 24567).
Sometimes, a vacation is more than just a vacation, or nice meal out is more than just a nice meal out; this was one of those times. While traveling and visiting New York, I decided to make an excursion to Charlestown, Rhode Island and head over to The Nordic Lodge. I've heard they have a lobster, king crab, seafood, and prime rib buffet and there's some significance to this seafood feast. You see, about 2 years ago, my friend Lois and I wanted to visit the Nordic, but decided to postpone it a few months....well, we all know what happened next. Fast forward a year or two later, and I'm now back in New York heading over to seafood buffet to pick up where things left off. And I could not have found a better place than the Nordic to start things off.
As good and plentiful as the seafood and food selections were, it was the people that made it special (both from the servers & hosts as well as the fellow patrons). Feels like family. And with the great food and the great people, I would certainly consider this to be one of the best Seafood Buffet in the US, if not the best!
The $125 buffet at The Nordic was an amazing experience with massive king crab offerings, lobsters done to perfection, and many great cuts of meats and international offerings. Oh, and certainly don't forget the desserts from cakes and confectioners, to a well stocked Haagen Dazs ice cream bar with endless sundaes and milk shakes!
Great atmosphere and welcoming servers and hosts, this clearly was one of the most enjoyable meals I've had. If you're in the area, or are around the New York or the surrounding areas of Rhode Island, this is definitely my highly recommended place to have a memorable (and large) meal.

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

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

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

This is the first time I've come across this channel. Not trying to be impolite.... but I think this Tim Lee is a genuinely nice guy by the way you interact with the staff and the customers! That prime rib looked absolutely gorgeous. I really like your narrative, Tim and your accent is gentle for an American- my ears feel relaxed listening to you, man. I went to the end of the video and found out you're from Canada- whoops! I'm sorry, we can't differentiate between American and Canadian accents over here- but I'm guessing Canadian people in general are nicer than American people? (I mean approachable, I don't know, I'm British). Subscribed. You deserve it. :)

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! 👍👍

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 !

So glad you liked the buffet in Manila, Philippines, that made me proud as a Filipino. Thank you, and I hope you will continue posting videos soon, God bless! 🥰🥰🥰

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!🥂❤️

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

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.

Great to see you Tim across the border. This reminds me how good and fresh seafood is in New England where I grew up. What’s amazing is that their meat section with the prime rib and filet mignon.

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.

[@DavidSriracha]

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.

You convinced me Tim to make the trip for my 33 rd wedding anniversary.....thank you

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

That would be amazing! I can't think of a better way to celebrate 🙂 congratulations to you both!

[@hilaryl1050]

I’m impressed you can remember all those names! Also that buffet looks absolutely amazing! Thanks for sharing.

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Everyone there were such good sports! Definitely one of the best buffets I've visited and hope you get a chance to visit as well!

[@pasha21k]

I've been there about 30 yrs ago! I lived in Ma and worked in RI at the RI Hospital. It was $45 when we went.

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Those were the good old days… I wish I could be back in Rhode Island now. Such a beautiful place and great people.

[@pasha21k]

@@TimLeeLetsGo Born and raised east coast, RI beautiful beaches, much better than west coast, where i live now. It's funny, my son and i were just talking bout that buffet last week, wadda thrill seeing your video.

[@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.

[@claudettejordan319]

Wow that’s awesome now Know I’ve got to go there and try I just hope that it’s still open for business I’m worried it might not be because of the Covid-19

[@claudettejordan319]

I love seafood

[@allanmoore4840]

One never knows where you are going to pop up. Everything looked great, almost home cooked. You must have been very full on your drive back to New York. Well videoed and narrated. Thanks....

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Thank you Allan and hope you're doing well. It was definitely a very good experience, and the drive back wasn't too bad!.. but yes, very full. A relaxing drive back through the states of Rhode Island and Connecticut, but once entering into new york, not so relaxing 😉

[@gloriawinbush1590]

The, whole staff is so friendly -just amazing 👏👏👏👏👏!

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

This has got to be my favourite buffet in the US

[@proudasiangirl576]

Hi Tim, good to see you here on my screen. I really love how pleasant and friendly you are to everyone. Always so respectful. You are one of my favorite food vloggers on KZbin!

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Thank you so much for you kind comment! It's easy to be pleasant at a place like this 😉

[@petercofrancesco8979]

It Would Be Great To Open a Nordic Lodge in Williamsburg , Brooklyn. 👍🍖

[@lesliecarter8322]

That is the best seafood buffet I ever saw. A great variety of fresh and cooked seafood plus other stuff, meats, veggies pastas, soups. The desserts looked great. Top marks.

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Hi Leslie, definitely one of the best if not the best buffets I've been to. Great food and great folks there😀

[@NilsBenjamin]

This guy should try competitive eating...he can put away more than my wife

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Yikes.. I hear an argument on the horizon 🤦🏻‍♂️😉

[@twizzlerlover3813]

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

[@jeffjibroni5133]

Tim, you scare me sometimes you are so nice! Just kidding you don’t scare me But your personality is awesome.

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Thanks for reaching out Jeff! Just having some fun and the servers and hosts were so welcoming

do not dip into butter.

[@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 🙂

[@kos5120]

What is his secret to eating so much food?

[@kalocals3212]

I'm gonna fly to RI just to eat there

[@nicbellanger1874]

So, you don't remove the digestive tract before eating the tail?

[@jeffhampton2767]

Exactly
