Oh wow looks nice and very big buffet lots of options lol . I can see you guys enjoyed your meal .
So fun 🤩
This place totally blew me away!
best better buffet than Golden corral but with some unique items.
Dang it, guys, I have never been there, but do not live too far from it so I guess I should go. Jon Barr I did not realize you are from Fair Lawn! My bro works at Jokers Child comics on River rd. You should go there and do a video!!! :) Action Kid!!! You need to go back and put the stewed tomatoes ON TOP of your mac and cheese. That is a thing here in Pa. I never knew that growing up in Bergen County. Lol Now you guys have to come here to Pottsville and do a Yuengling Brewery tour. It is pretty cool.
That buffet and those desserts look simply amazing, AK! Wow! 😊
There used to be a farmers market years ago not too far away and they had the best banana bread and zucchini bread. It’s extremely rare to get banana bread and zucchini bread that good on such a high level. Unfortunately they closed but I think there’s probably some other secret spots since many Amish places don’t really advertise
You know it!
I was here for breakfast on Thursday, Jan 23, 2025. Amazing!
Excellent!
Thank you for showing the Shady Maple Smorgasbord experience. Fun.
You're welcome!
Awesome stream, as usual! Must go to this place!
I love this place I go at least 2x a year since only 1/2 hr away …and I love the Famers Market …there is also some great roadside places along to route for veggies and fruit
That's awesome!
i’ve been there for breakfast. We drove out on an early December morning. After breakfast we went shopping at the nearby market.
I love visiting Lancaster County.
Huge selection of foods at that buffet and all of your foods looked delicious 😋Thank you for sharing this experience and the review A K🙂👍!!!
Much appreciated!
I'd love to go there, what a selection of food and those desserts looked so good!
There is so much food!
$24.99 is a great deal for a farm to table dinner buffet, and there's an endless amount of delicious food options! I don't know how you guys can eat a three different buffets in a day, but good job! 😁 Thank you for sharing this review and experience along with Jon, AK! 🤗
It’s actually a good price when you consider the price of meat is high. That said, there’s not much to do in rural PA so the long drive may actually not be worth it unless if it’s a novelty visit once in a while
@@ramencurry6672 It's absolutely a good price. 😃 The serene rural areas can also be a nice escape from the city once in a while.
My pleasure!
This looks amazing , so much food , where do you start ? Thank you for taking us along 😋💕
There’s no real rules since it’s rustic. If you were in New England, oysters are the quintessential appetizers.
You're welcome!
Yes. Mr Barr does in fact look "whooped" by his Whoopie Pie. 🥧
And I am, as you say "blown out of the water."
Some endearing folks in the booth behind you.
Thank you for sharing this delicious food and fun experience!!
❤❤🐼
what an amazing day you had with @herebebarr AK 😃 thank you for taking us on that fun excursion! my eyes would definitely be bigger then my tummy at this place and would need to pace myself lol 😋 what a great buffet restaurant and awesome selection to enjoy 💯👍
Been there, done that, with food coma, lol Glad you got to go and enjoyed it!
I like the name Shady Maple. I would like to stay all day and sample everything. Incredible!
It’s kind of an interesting name. In my opinion I feel that the name evokes a Canadian vibe since Canada is probably the biggest exporter of maple wood or at least a big industry leader
I know!
Shady Maple Smorgasbord looks dominating AK!🤩😍😎 As America's biggest Buffet with tasty appetites!😛😋🤤 Thanks Action Kid for sharing that restaurant!😌🤗🥹😇
This is one delicious! I went here last year.
Wow ActionKid that definitely looks delicious!😋
It really was!
Wow! I hope you got full 😂😂 Looked amazing ☺
Yes, it was heart-warming to watch AK enjoy his food. 😊
@@RebekahCurielAlessi Yes ☺
I agree. It must be worth going to if you are around that area.
Theres a whole shady maple supermarket nearby and its huge. Great place to walk off the meal and shop for more snacks and cake lol
Yes, we went in there to check it out!
Love seeing all the food! I wish i lived next door😂
If you live next door you could have weddings, events and parties in the house and all the guests can just eat at the restaurant
I went there years ago, when we went to white Hope. Interesting!
It’s been there for many years. I remember hearing about Shady Maple in early 2000s before UA-cam and social media. Back then it was sort of a “secret”
thank you ☕😀😎🤠
I'm a big eater and I would have a wonderful time there!
They used to give you a free buffet on your birthday I think. Not sure if they still do that. Amazing place !
Unless you bring your passport how would they know it really is your birthday?
The price was incredible . How in the world can they afford to have it so low!
The restaurant probably buys meat in massive quantities for discount rates I assume……Also I assume the restaurant owns the property and probably not paying rent
OMG! Your third buffet. I thought you guys were wearing the same clothes as last video. I was alreading thinking that there was so much good food and not enough stomach just for this buffet alone.
A 3rd buffet feels like sport eating. There is a UA-cam lady from California who can seriously eat massive amounts of food and she’s actually skinny
That's a lot from a buffet. This is the largest for real.
For sure!
Wow AK 😮😮😮 how would ya know what to chose wow Lucky u
All you can eat buffets are totally dangerous for me! I'd come out of there like a balloon ready to pop! But I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I agree. I love buffets but there are pros and cons. One advantage is that you can learn about a specific dish item that you never tried and sample it. One time at a buffet, there was a chicken livers item and I was actually surprised how good it was and it’s usually a terrible dish. Buffets can be a learning experience at times
I want this
May your belly be full
@@ramencurry6672what a nice sentiment! 🙏
great large buffet
It is big. In theory you could have a wedding or family gathering event near by and have all the guests go to the buffet. It seems easier
How far is it from NYC?
It’s far - like a couple hours west of Philly. Despite being a long tedious drive from out of state , it’s not that unusual to see New York people traveling around PA.
no pun
Maybe the breakfast is better quality, but most of the prepared dishes, desserts, and vegetables didn't look appetizing to me. I loved buffets when I was younger. I'm not a meat eater, so I guess not for me.😮
Can't do buffets.
You can in spirit by watching people eat at buffets
Has anyone been to an Asian buffet? The choices available make the choices at Shady Maple unimpressive. This place may be large by the food choices seem repetitive.
I see your point. However the advantage of Amish food is that you can find old versions of American food that you normally don’t see in the 21st century…..Also there are some unique Amish dishes that are not found anywhere else in the world but in Lancaster county.
Ooh, can you describe a dish or two I'd find at an Asian buffet?
@@RebekahCurielAlessi…It depends on the place. In many cases it’s a mix of Americanized Chinese food and other miscellaneous items. It can be fun.
@@ramencurry6672 sounds enticing!! 😊🥢
For younger people like you it is amazing. I enjoyed it when I first went there years ago but not so much any more. I feel like I have to eat everything or I am not getting my money's worth. I just don't like to eat that much at one time. The real thing is that despite of it being in Amish country and the homemade vibe etc. it is still mass produced in large batches with a set formula for everyone. I watch a video a few month ago about background operations of Shady Maple. To serve that many people it has to be an assembly line system. For that price I would rather go where the meals are made by a chef with care.
You'll pay double, if not triple, the amount for your personal chef meal. Shady Maple : can't beat it.
I see your point. I haven’t been to Lancaster County in a long time but from what I remember there were other restaurants that were very good where you can get specific specialty items like Amish chicken noodle soup that they call “pot pie”. In my opinion it’s best version of American chicken noodle soup
@ramencurry6672 in Ohio my mother made the noodle kind of pot pie. I never heard of pot pie in a crust until I moved to PA.
Like I said beats the stinking city
