  • Deep in the woods of Charlestown, Rhode Island, overlooking a picturesque lake flanked by firepits and farm animals, there's a one of a kind restaurant with a buffet that's simply mind-blowing.The Nordic is a family owned and operated destination where a meal is almost mythological. We're talking unlimited lobster. Crab. Black Angus steaks. Cakes, pies, and ice cream sundaes. All together, there are more than a hundred high end items, and that's only part of the entire Nordic experience.

    Amazing place. Worth every penny and then some. I have been a Chef for 32 years and this place blows the doors off any place I’ve ever seen. I thought the staff would get in your way and try to slow you down in every way possible to limit consumption. Quite the opposite actually. No games , no ploys, just amazing hospitality. To Hell with Disney folks, the Nordic Lodge is the happiest place on Earth bar none.

It’s ran like a well oiled machine by well trained helpful and polite individuals. He’s right, it’s a total experience. We spent well beyond the two hours here dining. Just the best buffet experience hands down. We’ve decided to make it a once a year date.

    I have been here at least ten times in my life. Each time I go back is better than the last. After you eat here, every other buffet, including those on the best cruise ships, will pale in comparison. That is the only bad part about eating here. All other buffets will be a HUGE disappointment afterward. It is quite simply the VERY best that this planet has to offer as far as buffets are concerned. You will need a good road map though. If you are coming from Connecticut, you will find yourself making turns that are sometimes frustrating. The roads getting there are VERY tricky. Once you find it though, you will thank your lucky stars. When I first started going, the price was around $40.00/person. Now, it is over $100.00/person and it is WELL worth it. I have never heard of even ONE person complain about the price though. You will see why after you go.
