    Wow, this video REALLY shows the food at this place. I've seen other videos for this buffet, but they didn't go around showing all the food stations. The guy is one tough food critic! but I like that because it's honest and informative. Good job!

    Mennonite. Thank you for saying it’s not amish right away. We live right down the road from here and soooo many people just automatically think amish. Finally a RUclips channel that went there and don’t just say Amish.

    Just a few miles from my home. Imagine growing up and living there for a lifetime. We appreciate them. The family that owns Shady Maple is the Weaver family. They are Mennonites, very close to Amish. One thing to remember about PA Dutch, Mennonite, and Amish, they do not usually use a lot of spices. We are pretty much just salt and pepper people.
    I always get the pork and sauerkraut with mashed potatoes. Yum. Thanks for sharing this.

      @@heathermanning5368 Marvin Weaver is the patriarch of that group. The land around there was always primarily owned by the same families for hundreds of years: Weavers, Goods, Peachey, Shenk, and a few more. If you drive around there, you will see Weaverland Mennonite Church and Weaverland Rd. The families are Godly, hard-working people. It is a wonderful place to live and visit.

The buffet itself is the largest and I love the variety and food. My favorite items include Cajun Catfish and Salmon ( Fri and Sat dinner only) , the steamed and cold shrimp, the chicken wings ( lots of varieties), the cranberry rhubarb salad, the hot bacon dressing, fantastic salad bar, the cheese's esp the Amish, the breads, flavored cappuccinos, desserts especially pies such as pecan, shoo fly, peanut butter and the ice cream bar. Their fries are great too .. potato and sweet potato. Just love this place. Great video!

Saturdays are really busy with lots of bus patrons. It was very clean for the volume they serve and the bathrooms were immaculate. The artwork was so awesome with attention to detail.

    I really appreciate y'all. The care to show us the items. The time it takes to do that plus describe the foods makes y'all my absolute favorite foodie RUclipsrs. And believe me, I follow a lot. I lived in Dayton, OH back in the 80's and fell in love with the Amish culture. I'm planning a trip to Lancaster next year to visit these lovely people. I'm in Alabama so I get enough of the soul food, but I'm so excited to try the ham balls, noodles and shoe fly pie! If you have the time, would you kindly give me a referral? If you're ever in the Birmingham area, contact me and I'll hook you up. Much love and blessings 🎄

      Staying our favorite is the Fulton Steamboat but it can be expensive. They changed the room I was told but haven’t seen it. Stay in room on 3rd floor it’s an adult only floor. If you want Amish the places are Katie’s Kitchen and Dienners that is not a 100 percent Amish owned from what I’ve been told but has a great set up for the money. We also liked Fireside Tavern and Gracie’s on West Main #2 ranked on TripAdvisor where I got that big bacon platter. You have to see Sight and Sound that is a must and check out American Music Theater to see what shows are going on. The Eden is a fancy hotel a few miles from the main Amish area that is very nice but expensive. We stayed there but didn’t film it. Feel free to contact us with more questions if you need.
