As a kid, I lived in that area for about 3 years. Kenobles was a yearly school trip. This was in the mid 70’s
This was our first time here. We had a good time. Great place for a school trip. 😎😎
Love scallops! Those looked good. But, never in my 40 plus years of eating them have I ever had a scallop that tasted like an oyster. Oysters are briny and salty. Scallops are sweet and more like lobster, in sweetness. Bobbi, the chicken looked good as well. Love your blouse. You always look so pretty!
I think John was meaning the texture of the scallops is similar to oysters. I love fried oyster. Thank you for the nice compliment. I appreciate it. 😎😎
RhI have 😅

We are glad this video brought back some great memories for you. 😎😎
❤🎉Blessings and Blessings to you all. It all looked great.🎉❤

Food looked delicious 😋 Congrats on 40 k .There was never a doubt .
Thank you. The food was very good. 😎😎
Love the Alamo. Hands down best amusement park ever. Go every chance I can which is not frequent enough. Grew up with that park and family that are now gone (who also loved the Alamo). So many wonderful memories & my heart will always be there.
This was our first time here. There are a lot of good places to eat in the park. We definitely will be going back. 😎😎
Very nice video ! Loved the intro . Beautiful pics of the Park! Your food looked awesome! And you all made my day when I saw Bobbie sitting on the bench at the park and I got to meet her. I was there with my sister and her husband and their granddaughter. Driving there that morning I had just told my sister how I enjoy J&B In The Hills UA-cam videos and that you had made some in Lancaster and Gettysburg . Thank you both for all you do! Like you all say, Let’s Rock & Roll ❤
I'm so glad I got to meet you. It is a beautiful park. I love the flowers. We enjoyed our meals . It was a fun day. Thanks for watching and commenting. Rock n Roll. 😎😎
Another great video. Love the music , food looks 🔥
Thank you. We appreciate you watching. 😎😎
Thanks for letting coming along with you to Knoebels. The food looked good. Usually when I visit the park ,I eat the food throughout Knoebels. I have eaten at the Alamo many years ago. Great job on this first vlog from my favorite amusement park. Keep up the good work.
Congratulations on 40k subs! Well done 👍.
Thank you.😎😎
We have two more videos to bring out from Knoebels.They have a lot of good food choices. 😎😎
For as many times as I’ve been to Knoebel’s I have not been to this restaurant. The scallops look delicious.
They did a great job preparing the scallops. John really enjoyed them.😎😎
I never heard of Knoebels amusement park until I started watching UA-cam. I am in South Carolina. Looks like a fun time. 🎉
Ya'lls meal looked delicious, and what a great price. Thank you for sharing. Hugs 🤗 and God bless 🙌
Good part of the amusement park,there is no general admission. You buy a book of tickets for the rides,and for non-riders, no admission fee.There are several ticket booths throughout the park. There is a gigantic shaded picnic area in the front, and you can go in and out all you want.And lots of shade in the park also.
A lot of people recommended us coming here. We had a fun time.😎😎
It is nice that you do not have to pay to go into the park. Some people just like walking around the park. 😎😎
Great restaurant they do have good food and the prices are great👍 love Knoebels thanks for sharing enjoy 😊
You are welcome. We thought the food was very reasonable. We appreciate you watching. 😎😎
Very Cool!Thanks for Sharing!!! I definitely hope to go here one day! looks fun and the food looks good! Have fun guys!!😃😃🩵🩵
You are welcome. John and I had a lot of fun at Knoebels. 😎😎
For an amusement park the food looked good and the price was reasonable. Thanks for the video and let’s rock n roll. 🎸😎
We thought everything was very good and reasonable prices. Thanks for watching. 😎😎

Thanx for your awesome videos!! We always appreciate you two and keeping it real!! We haven't been to Knoebels for a few years!!! I don't remember that restaurant or roller coaster!!😮
Thank you for the nice compliment. We appreciate it. This was our first time at Knoebels. 😎😎
I have never been in the Alamo and we go to the park every year. Thanks for sharing.
They have good food. It was so hot this day. It was nice to sit inside and eat with the air conditioning.😎😎
if you do get the chicken and waffles!
Hi John and Bobbie. So glad you enjoyed your day at Knoebels. It was a very hot day. Glad to meet you both. Hope you enjoyed the entertainment Rick K' s road trip.
Great meeting you. Rick K played here in our area and I saw him many times. Great performance. 😎😎
It was a hot day. We had a good time. It was nice meeting you. 😎😎
Now you're getting close to my neck of the woods I live in Harrisburg. We love Knoebels, although we haven't been up for a while because of Covid. As a fan of wooden roller coasters, the phoenix there is one of the best in the world. Next time we're up there, we will make a point of eating at the Alamo. I hope you had a wonderful time. Thanks for posting.❤
John rode the phoenix three times. We had a great time. Thanks for watching. 😎😎
My taste buds have come to attention! I can't decide which meal I'd order! Talk about industrial strength YUM!
And congratulations on 40K subscribers! 🎆👍
Thank you for being with us for a long time we appreciate it.😎😎
@@jbinthehills You're most welcome!
We took our kids years to Knoebels many years ago, it's a litle under 3 hours from where we live. Nice clean family owned park, and great for younger kids as they have a lot of kiddie type rides. I don't remember if we ate at the Alamo, but it looks like decent food for an amusement park. Thanks for the memories.
This was our first time here. It is a very clean park. I love the beautiful flowers. They have a lot of good places to eat in the park. We are glad the video brought you back some good memories. Thanks for watching.😎😎
Reminds me of the many times our family enjoyed birch beer with pizza! Always a delicious treat! (Haven't had it, again, in years & years!)
John loves birch beer. Anytime we are in Amish Country he gets to drink😎😎.
No matter the temp, I cannot resist soup, especially French Onion! LOL I just love soup. The scallops looked so nice. I am so glad they tasted good and weren't rubbery! They gave such a huge portion for the fried chicken. Looked great! Shrimps being shellfish, they have some great health benefits, but some risks as well. Scallops are always a better option (both are yummy!).
I love soup, but I can't eat it on a hot day. They do give us a good portion of food. Thanks for watching and commenting. 😎😎
Gm happy Sunday guys such beautiful flowers outside. Nice clean park. John your scallops looked really good especially with that garlic butter sauce. 🤤 Bobbie I love good fried chicken. Nice choices guys thanks for the review cool spot. ❤
The flowers were beautiful. The chicken was very good and crispy. Thanks for watching. 😎😎
Good afternoon John and Bobby food look Good glad you enjoyed it take care
Happy Sunday, Jeff. Thanks for watching. 😎😎
I just came across this. Im 47, live in Delaware, but my family had a cabin about 45 min from here in Pennsylvania. I had to laugh when you pronounced Elysberg. Its actually pronounced Ellies-berg. You wouldn't know that though unless you were from this area. My 2 daughter's grew up here & are now 25 & 26. Our last child our son who is 9 has enjoyed Knoebels for many years w his 2 cousins who are close in age to him. My parent's no longer have the cabin. As we got older no one wanted the responsibility of it so it was sold between my Grandfather and a group of his friend's who built it as a hunting cabin. I always knew they had a camp ground but never needed to stay. Fast forward 30 some years & my parent's take their Grandson atleast 2xs a year for the weekend. Their food is delicious..Pierogies & Fries were our favorite. The Birch Beer is a must try I agree! Great video ❤
Thanks for the information. We had some people comment that we pronounced that right. I guess it depends on where you live. It is a nice park. Thanks for watching .😎😎
Parker house rolls!! Love the White Birch beer n hot bacon dressing!!
Thanks for watching. 😎😎
Looks interesting guys. Definitely have to take a trip on my Harley there!!
Sounds like a fun road trip.😎😎
The place is beautiful the food looked great ❤
The food was very good. The flowers were beautiful. 😎😎
I found your channel last week and have been binge watching every since!! Love it!! I would love to start my own channel like this. I love buffets. 🎉
We are glad you found our channel. We appreciate you watching. Next time you go to a buffet film it. 😎😎
Awesome video 👍
Thanks for watching. 😎😎
My wife would definitely like this place because of those flowers!!
The flowers are beautiful. 😎😎
When you try places in Pennsylvania I look up direction so we can try them out. Thank you for the great videos 😊😊
We are glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching.😎😎
Love to go to this park! Used to go every year growing up. You don't have to pay to park or enter the park. It is shady. It is a wonderful family park!
It is a nice park. It is nice that you don't have to pay to get into the park. Some people just want to walk around and get something to eat and not ride anything. Thanks for watching. 😎😎
Haven't been to Knoebels in years! Bought back memories! I never realized there was a sit down restaurant back there! I agree with John that hot bacon dressing is delicious. Yum. I love scallops too! Never saw such a good menu at any amusement park! All the food looked good. The restaurant decor looked so nice. Love the paintings and murals plus old school vibe! I agree with Bobbie that those flowers were so pretty! Another awesome video guys! Oh and John... .my husband and I both love birch beer!
This is the first time john and I have ever been to this park. We had a really good time. We always get the hot bacon dressing when we are in Amish country. The flowers are beautiful. Thanks for watching. 😎😎
😋Great thorough food review from that awesome classic park! Can we expect a non-short video of you two indulging on the many classic rides and attractions such as the unique Flying Turns? 😎
We do have two more videos coming out from here. We rode the haunted mansion ride six times.😎😎
Great old time amusement park that if you choose not to ride, you don’t pay admission. There aren’t many who does this and I hope they continue to do so.
We took our daughter and her friend there years ago and spent the night but we should had stayed an extra day.
The friend ate countless numbers of enormous sized pickles on a stick. I was so concerned she would certainly get sick but she was perfectly fine.
I wish we knew about the Drive In Hop that you recently made a video on. The fish looked amazing.
I usually comment on your adventures that by now you guys are probably tired of me!🤣
Enjoy your travels and be safe. ❤
I think it's great that they don't charge to get in the park or for parking. Some people just like walking around the park and eating some good food. We appreciate you watching and commenting. 😎😎
I used to work at The Alamo. It was so fun to work there and they treated us real well. At lunchtime they would feed us and we could choose from
many of the menu items. I can tell you that all of the food is excellent. Good choice w/ the hot bacon, but you really missed out by not trying the chicken & waffles or the fries. They are some of the best fries I’ve ever had and they are different from the fries near the Oasis which are fresh cut btw and also some of the best I’ve had once you add the salt & vinegar on them. The French onion soup is good too and should have a lot of cheese in it at the bottom if nothing has changed.
Thank you for watching and commenting. We are glad to hear how good they treat their employees. The food was very good. Next time we will have to try the fries.😎😎
This food looks amazing, and in a theme park! Great prices too! I'm down for trying both your meals! 😊
Beautiful flowers are a bonus!
Thank you for bringing us along on this adventure!
Safe travels. 💜
For the amusement park food it was very good. Especially the scallops. The flowers were beautiful. Thanks for coming along with us.😎😎
I would love those scallops!!!! The chicken looked great!!!! I like coleslaw finely chopped……My sister works a school and their mashed potatoes come in a bag….She brought a bag of the mashed potatoes..they were so good..The school sent her a bad before Christmas bread and we all liked them…Anywas this places great!!
The mashed potatoes were very good. John loved the scallops. Thanks for watching. 😎😎
You went to Knobels!!! I’ve been suggesting that for a bit but I wasn’t sure you’d be able to actually go! This is awesome! I hope you can do a special on the park! (I hope you got to ride the coasters! The only trackless coaster in the world! Free admission! Free parking! Even Disneyland on its very first day had a 1.00 admission (plus buying ride tickets like Knobels still has.)
We have two more videos coming out soon from here. John did ride several of the roller coasters. We both rode the haunted mansion six times.😎😎
LOVE Knoebels. My favorite park ever.
This was our first time at Knoebels. We had a had a great time. 😎😎
I have eaten scallops only once at a fancy corporate dinner and they were great. I grew up on the west coast and my parents didn't like seafood much. Our amusement parks were Disney, Knotts Berry Farm and Six Flags. I would like to visit Kenobles and Alamo some time.
You have some great amusement parks where you live. We would like to go there sometime. John and I both love seafood. Thanks for watching and commenting. 😎😎
My neighborhood park! Hope you enjoyed yourselves. I live 15 minutes away from here.
This was our first time here. We did have a great time. Beautiful park.😎😎
I read a comment you'll have more vids coming out from here and you rode some rides. I was wondering if you went on any. When I was a kid I could ride all day and loved it!
John rode a few of the roller coasters. We rode the haunted house and black diamond. 😎😎
The items you ordered seem balanced and nicely made overall. No disappointments here and all for under $40.
They did an excellent job preparing the scallops. John thought everything was very good. 😎😎
So glad you made it out to Knoebels! Such a great park we go there all of the time. Did you get to the Merry Go Round museum? I know Bobbi would love that! One little piece of advice I would not order bay scallops. They tend to have parasites in them. I used to work in a restaurant and I’ve seen them in the scallops wriggling around it was gross. You don’t have to worry about that with sea scallops. Have a great Sunday!
We had a good time. We did go to the Merry Go Round museum. We rode the Haunted Mansion ride six times. 😎😎
@@jbinthehills The haunted mansion ride is my favorite!
I've been to koenobles they have amazing food 👍
They do have very good food and a variety of different food items to choose from. 😎😎
Did you ride the trackless coaster? It is a unique ride not many like it.
Yes, John did ride it. He liked it.😎😎
Everything looks good
Everything was great😎😎
The food was very good. Thanks for watching. 😎😎
Looks delicious
They had very good food. Thanks for watching. 😎😎
Mmmmmm Bobby your chicken looked amazing i love chicken!!
It was very good and crispy. I love fried chicken, too.😎😎
Love this video 😊 The menu was pretty big & the food looked very good 😊 We have never been there
This was our first time ever at this amusement park. The food was very good for an amusement park.😎😎
@@jbinthehills I loved it 😊 You both do a really good job with your videos 😎😎
@@CaseyJolliffe12 Thank you. 😎😎
@@jbinthehills You're welcome!! I'm watching your Michael's walkthrough now
@@CaseyJolliffe12 Thank you. 😎😎
As an add on, I lived in Danville Pa. which is down stream from Milton from your earlier video. In the 70’s the town had some of the best sub shops around.
Thanks for watching and commenting. 😎😎
Hey I'm allergic to dairy and going to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Are there any places with dairy-free options that are really good?
Sorry but we are not sure about the dairy free option.😎😎
Interesting name for a restaurant that’s not located in San Antonio, TX.
I'm not sure why they named the restaurant the Alamo, but they do have good food.😎😎
Congrats on 40K !!!!!
Thank you. 😎😎
Glad you are gaining followers
Thank you. 😎😎
Knoebels was always a great place
It was very fun.😎😎
Another great video! I respectfully disagree with your comparison of scallops to oysters-totally different flavor profile. Scallops are much closer in flavor to lobster or crab meat-definite sweet flavor. Oysters are distinctive flavor not like any other shellfish. BTW I like ‘em all.
I love oysters and crab legs. Thanks for watching and commenting. 😎😎
I’ve been to the Alamo in San Antonio Texas. I went to the Haunted Mansion movie this morning and it was good😎🤠
We saw the Haunted Mansion movie. It is pretty good. But I like the first one with Eddie Murphy better. Thanks for watching and commenting. 😎😎
Not priced too bad. You meals looked good. Kudos to Bobbi for complimenting the waitress. You don't see that much in other video reviews.
We thought the price was very reasonable. I do like to thank the waitress or waiters who do a good job. Someone left a comment the other day and told me they didn't like it when I shouted out the staff.😎😎
We’ve been enjoying this park for many years. We lived about an hour away. My initials are carved on the bridge.
This was our first time here. We will definitely be going back. It is a very nice park.😎😎
we love this park we were going to hershey but my husband said he wanted to go back to this park i like it because you dont pay to get in or to park the food was good to
It was such a great deal. Great food and fun.😎😎
I like the idea of not having to pay for parking or to get in the park also. Some people just like walking around the park and getting something to eat.😎😎
JOHN AND BOBBIE THE FOOD LOOK DELICIOUS TOO MY FRIEND
Very good food. Especially for an amusement park. Thanks for watching. 😎😎
YOU ARE VERY WELCOME TOO MY FRIEND
Ate there a few years ago got the signature chicken and waffles,enjoyed it for a amusement park,when we were up last week it was so hot and crowded just settled somewhere in there for pulled pork sandwiches and waffle fries,more craved water very hot
It was hot this day. It was nice going to the restaurant where there was air conditioning. When it is hot outside, I usually just like to eat fruit.😎😎
Bobbie, you got me hungry for chicken. Did John ride the roller coaster?
Their chicken was very good. John did ride a few roller coasters. We have a few more videos coming out from this park.😎😎
That's funny... You would think it would be Tex Mex type of food 😂
By the name you would😎😎
John, I knew you were going to try the Chicken Wing.
John loves the wings.😎😎
The food looked pretty good but there is no way that this place serves the best theme park food in the United States, considering you have fantastic theme parks with great food like Disney Epcot Food Fest, and all their find restaurants, and Busch Gardens the Old Country in Williamsburg Virginia also has very good food. I would even think Dollywood has better food. Thanks for your video. 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🌹
Nowhere did they say it was a theme park and it’s not. It’s an amusement park. Huge difference.
We would like to go to Busch Gardens sometime this year. Thanks for watching and commenting. 😎😎
@@jbinthehills I hope you do it Busch Gardens the old country in Williamsburg is one of the best parks in the country. It's very upscale . If you go there is a really great seafood buffet not far away called Captain George's. It's right where all the hotels and motels are. It's an excellent Buffet you will not be disappointed. They even have delicious fried sea scallops on the buffet and snow crab legs. Also all-you-can-eat fried oysters.
@@jeffhampton2767 We are planning on Busch Gardens this year.😎😎
I was in the food business for 40 years, and I am a scallop expert. All the bay scallops you are getting in the United States are farm-raised from Asia and they are no good. Sea scallops like you are eating come from the Atlantic Ocean from Canada down to North Carolina. But you must ask if they are dry scallops or wet scallops. Only dry scallops which are 100% natural are good. Wet scallops have water added and a chemical STPP to extend shelf-life and to make them bigger than they actually are. Wet scallops also have a slight metal taste or chemical taste. If you have sensitive taste buds you can pick that up. But being masked with garlic butter you might not be able to distinguish it. You should ask when you are in a restaurant and you should never eat wet scallops. You normally will only find high quality dry scallops along the coast in a fine seafood restaurant. Once you come Inland you usually find Wet scallops which have been artificially change and are no good. I have eaten a massive amount of high-quality scallops in my life since they are one of my favorite foods and they taste nothing like an oyster. The fact that John loves sea scallops proves that he has a taste for the Finer Foods in life, and I find that amazing. If you have a Wegmans food store, they are the only food store that I know that sell and advertise high quality dry scallops. If you want top-notch sea scallops you will have to go eat at a high quality seafood restaurant along the coast in one of the sea shore resorts.
That's a informative thing to know. I come from a state with plenty of Sea food. I wonder if a waiter would even know that! Thanks for info.
@@denisehood958 Thank you! The waiter may or may not know. But they can ask the chef in the kitchen. Scallops come into restaurants in large plastic containers. If they are dry scallops it will say right on the top of the container dry scallops all natural. If they are wet scallops it will say water added and the chemical also that has been added. I can taste the difference right away so they can't lie to me. In all the years that I have been asking only one restaurant lied to me and I returned my platter. You can also call the restaurant before you go and ask them if they serve all natural dry scallops or water injected wet scallops. One seafood store tried to lie to me about 10 years ago. They said they were all natural dry scallops, so i purchased a pound of them just to find out that they were water injected and I could taste the chemical right away. I went back to the store a week later and I said let me see the container that your scallops came in, so they brought the container out to me and right on the top it said water added and the chemical also that was injected. And I looked at her and I said see these are not dry scallops, I said it reads water and chemical injected and then she said I'm very sorry, I did not know. Dry scallops pretty much keep their size when they are cooked, but wet scallops shrink up to about half the size sometimes even more. Because as they cook the water and the chemical comes out of them and they take on a rubbery texture.
@@jeffhampton2767 wow! Good for you! Depends on if they are on top of thing's and can read!! Geez. How, frustrating. Thanks for sharing. It's like salmon!! I can tell a Big difference in taste with that too. Take care.
Thank you for the information, Jeff. We never knew that about scallops. Thanks for watching and commenting. 😎😎
@@denisehood958 Oh yes salmon is another problem, almost every restaurant serves farm-raised salmon. I also gave up on shrimp since 95% of the restaurants serve farm-raised shrimp from Asia. I never have a problem with snow crab legs or king crab legs or lobster tails and I'm on top of scallops. And I do purchase wild caught shrimp. Just ask questions. I have sent the waitstaff in and out of the kitchen three or four times. I also call on the phone.
Double a plus for the soundtrack of this video
You guys what is that type of music called
We are glad you enjoyed the video. 😎😎
We got the music from epidemic sound.😎😎
With a name like Alamo you would think that they would have at least one steak on the menu. I’m so glad that we don’t do theme parks!! Thanks for Sharing!!
John and I Iove theme parks and fairs. Thanks for watching. 😎😎
Renovated in 1999 in the year 2000 ? Very interesting😮

IWO JIMA STATUE OOOOORAAAHHH SEMPER FI

John loves scallops, too. They did a good job preparing them .😎😎

Salad dressing looked good. I do not like scallops, chicken looked good.
The chicken was very good. John loves scallops. Thanks for watching. 😎😎
Drink beer from a straw!!!! unreal....😖👍🤠
Birch Beer is soda not beer
It is a soda. John usually gets that when we go to the Amish area.😎😎
Everything looked good, except the Mac and cheese, that chicken and scallops were top notch, like John said especially for an amusement park 🎉
I think John was surprised how good the scallops were for an amusement part. 😎😎
Scallops taste nothing like an oyster i was so confused my his comment lol
Talking about the texture of them. Thanks for watching. 😎😎
My backyard

It is a nice park. 😎😎
