Thank you so much 🤗 I agree with you. Because it is so busy it can get noisy. We did a review of Yoder's while we were in Pennsylvania. That was very quiet and you could really enjoy your meal. You may want to check that out too. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
Ohhhh my my!!!!!some great food there….all of it looked so tasty…i love crispy bacon too….that was a very reasonable feast…..you all find the best places to go too!!!! Love it!!!❤❤art work amazing as well…
I liked their breakfast buffet better than the dinner buffet. It’s definitely a popular place for visitors and locals. It stays busy. Thanks for watching!
It is unreal how big the restaurant is. When we were trying to find a quiet place to video we discovered places we had not seen before. They are equipped for big crowds. The breakfast buffet was delicious!
Our pleasure! Glad it bought back some good memories. This was our first time for breakfast and I believe it might be my favorite. Especially when you factor in the amazing price.
I've really enjoyed watching you guys, especially the buffet's. I also love your accents! The background music is a bit much so I'm glad it ended halfway thru. Blessings from Birmingham 🍁
Thanks so much! 😊 This buffet is something to see for sure. The breakfast buffet was amazing with the pancake and omelet stations. You have me singing "Paint Me a Birmingham" now. We were in Alabama some this summer on our way to Destin, Florida. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Oh my gosh, quit the dang background music in your video. It's giving me a headache, and drowns out your comments! I'm muting your video to be able to watch it.
We did not do a bus tour but Shady Maples gets lots of bus tours there. We always see buses whenever we visit. I don't think you would want to try all 3 on the same day. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
This Smorgasbord is massive! I like the breakfast there. The omlette and pancake stations are wonderful. Very popular place as you can imagine. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
We thought it was very reasonable for the quality of food that you get there. Sometimes buffets are so overpriced. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
Thank you for bringing back so many great memories. This is our favorite smorgasbord. V8 juice is a big plus and I like to dunk the glazed doughnuts in my coffee(left over from my child hood). Great video! Try the steak cheese and mushroom omelet next time. Safe Travels.
Our pleasure! I know you mentioned to us that you like going to the breakfast buffet at Shady Maples. Delicious food and great prices. We need a website where we can put our suggestions of what and how to eat it for this place. Hope y'all are well!
So much food! One could eat until they were unable to move! Great price too! Really like the looks of those omelets. Have eaten here before but never had breakfast. That would be something to look forward too.
Definitely something to look forward to and at a reasonable price. You have to pace yourself when you go so you don't leave miserable. Great breakfast!
Suddenly, I want some chocolate, peanut butter pancakes! This place is huge! LOL. Carly is right... I could tell just by looking at the footage of the donuts in your video that they were not going to be as good as Krispy Kreme. But the rest of the food looked delicious. We have to remember this place the next time we make it back to Pennsylvania. Thanks for your review!
The girl loves Dunkin and Krispy Kreme. You would be amazed at just the size of the place. We also went to their grocery store and that was something to see too. Appreciate y'all!
It's nice to see you all in Lancaster. I've been wanting to go there but haven't gotten there yet. A lady on You Tube goes to the Goodwill Stores in the area and wow! they are some big Goodwill stores. Would be lots of fun to eat, stay, and shop at the thrift stores! It's nice to see Carly's bangs above her eyebrows. She has beautiful eyebrows and since they are so "in" right now, she should show them off. She is a beautiful child and I know you are proud of her.
Thank you so much. We are so proud of Carly. We seem to battle with the bangs. It seems like we get them trimmed and they need trimming again. A lot of the kids have the longer curtain bangs too. But enough about her hair. lol You would love Lancaster. We love just riding around and seeing all the beautiful Amish Farm Land. We also like going to the different Farmer Markets and Amish stores. Of course the Pennsylvania Dutch food is delicious too! Appreciate you watching and commenting!
Hello there! We have not heard anything from you in awhile. Hope you are well. It would have been great to have had breakfast with you at Shady Maples.
@@vafunseekers In a past video I commented to you about wanting to treat ya'll a great meal there, but I did not get a reply to my request. So in my mind, you were either uninterested, didn't see my comment, or scared about meeting a stranger there to treat you. So I moved on.
@@490Believer we were waiting to hear you were in this area. I know you had said about visiting 30 states and we didn’t even know where you were at. We would love to meet our subscribers! Especially someone as nice as you. We are still up for meeting you. We consider it a honor when we meet any subscribers. We always enjoy talking to the people who watch our videos. Keep us posted on your journey and we hope to meet you soon!
An Amish version of Golden Corral. Nice job, but I did have difficulty hearing at times because the music over played the voices. Was much better from the V-8 on. Another quality review
Sorry you had problems during the first part of the video hearing the voices. It can be tricky with editing sometimes. This venue is always a challenge because of all the people and noise to video. However people do seem to like watching from here. Appreciate you!
It has been awhile since we have been to Wood Grill in Charlottesville. I know they have lots to choose from. Do you have a favorite day/night that you go?
@@vafunseekers basically they're all the same now since COVID, still great food for the price and all you can eat. They used to have an awesome breakfast on the weekends but I think they're having trouble keeping enough good help. I've seen some of the same people working there for 13 years now and that says a lot about a place of work.
i was trying to see the menu info about the service fee but you didnt go down far enough. so, does it say 12% service fee and NO tipping, or is it 12% fee plus tips?
I was disappointed in the quality overall. However, I do like the breakfast better than lunch/dinner time. We will be in the area this week. Is there a favorite spot you would suggest? Thanks for watching and commenting.
NOT an Amish buffet (the owners are Mennonites). Just the best buffet ever that happens to be in Amish country and includes some food with roots in Pennsylvania Dutch tradition. We get up there around 3-4 times a year, and the trip to Shady Maple is always an anticipated highlight.
The Amish do not own this restaurant and they do not cook in the restaurant. The restaurant is owned by a German Pennsylvania Dutch family but they are not Amish. Many German people in Pennsylvania are not Amish and only some call themselves Pennsylvania Dutch.
Yes they are! The Amish definitely know how to make money. We were recently in Amish Country and saw an Amish girl with a cell phone. Not sure the story behind it. We do love seeing the simpler life that the Amish live. We have eaten in an Amish home before and that was a neat experience.
I am sorry you had difficulty hearing the commentary. When we go into places that play music we often have to play music to make sure we don't get a copyright. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Good video. I love the restaurants without all the noise with music and tv. God bless y’all.

What a deal. Food looked good!!
The breakfast was delicious. We really enjoyed our meal and felt that it was reasonably priced. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
It is very good. I don’t live far from Shady Maple and we go there a couple times a year and it never disappoints.
Ohhhh my my!!!!!some great food there….all of it looked so tasty…i love crispy bacon too….that was a very reasonable feast…..you all find the best places to go too!!!!

They have lots to choose from. It's huge and I love the stations that prepare things to order. Appreciate you watching!
That was a hearty looking breakfast, and that place is huge.

Christy was jealous. Lol. She has many fond memories of this place. We hope to get up there to it sometime. Thanks for taking us along! Great video

Wow if that's a tour bus ? I would love to take a vacation there and try all 3 meals .

Looks like another place to stop at when I start traveling again! Good video. God Bless!

this is a great review ,that omelet bar is fantastic and that price is extremely reasonable ,i thank you for the great review

Your right if they’d common the music down some that would be fantastic.
Thanks for watching!
Common the Music Down?? Explain the word Common in your Reply.
thank you for the video
You're welcome Hope you have a great week!
Everything looked delicious. Definitely would leave there with a full belly. 😂
So good! You have to pace yourself and have some willpower unless you will leave sick! So many options but that breakfast was fantastic.
Looks delicious ❤
Lots of delicious food especially the omlette and pancake stations. Thanks so much for watching!
I love V8 too. lol
It is so good! Thanks for watching and commenting.

Ive seen red velvet cream cheese cake and i swear its the same thing from cheesecake factory lol it was delicious.
Nice. I don't think I've tried the red velvet cream cheese cake here. But it sounds delicious! Yum! 😋Thanks for watching.

You guys have to review The Woodgrill buffet in Charlottesville. They don't do breakfast anymore but lunch and dinner is always delish.
It has been awhile since we have been to Wood Grill in Charlottesville. I know they have lots to choose from. Do you have a favorite day/night that you go?

Huge buffet! 😋
❤️👍
😀👌
Good years back was good. The quality isn’t there anymore live 45 minutes from there! We don’t go anymore!
I was disappointed in the quality overall. However, I do like the breakfast better than lunch/dinner time. We will be in the area this week. Is there a favorite spot you would suggest? Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@vafunseekers Yoder’s Market and Buffet right up the road a few miles up from there. Look on your phone for directions there! 👍
@@Linda-in9ns We did a lunch review there before and really liked it.
NIX THE DARN MUSIC
Copyright issues required music on this one. Sorry!
Is it wrong that I want to travel to PA purely to eat at this restaurant?
Absolutely not! The breakfast was outstanding!
What part of the south are you from?
We are from Virginia. We live in the central part near Lynchburg. Thanks for watching.
@@vafunseekers 👍

Thanks so much for watching! It's one big buffet!
Huge american size!
Very much so!
electricity, cashier computers, artificial waterfalls, modern construction, is it just me or are the Amish going Hi-Tech??
The Amish do not own this restaurant and they do not cook in the restaurant. The restaurant is owned by a German Pennsylvania Dutch family but they are not Amish. Many German people in Pennsylvania are not Amish and only some call themselves Pennsylvania Dutch.

The owners are actually Mennonite according to the history of this restaurant. They advertise the smorgasbord as Pennsylvania Dutch cooking.
@@vafunseekers Many Amish use solar power and LiFePO batteries for lights, cellphones, etc. Hi-Tech can be simple.
The music is so distracting and makes it difficult to hear your commentary
I am sorry you had difficulty hearing the commentary. When we go into places that play music we often have to play music to make sure we don't get a copyright. Thanks for watching and commenting.
To many commercials !!!
Appreciate you watching anyway!
too bad this place is so far from Texas.
It is quite the drive from Texas to Shady Maple. But you do have some good places in Texas Thanks for watching!
The music constantly playing is annoying
Thanks for your input. We appreciate you watching.
Backsound music is too loud😢
Thanks for sharing ❤
You are so welcome
