Just part of why I love Pennsylvania! If you leave there hungry.....it your own fault LOL! So glad you all had a great time! Thanks for sharing this. God bless
I’m sure it was overwhelming 😮but I saw so many items that I wanted! Amazing art work! Beautiful building love the wood. I am 69 years old and feel like I wouldn’t be able to take the tour without you guys filming it! Thank you so much for sharing your videos!
If you go on your birthday with someone else that is a paying for their meal yours is free. Also little known fact that if you go by yourself on your birthday, let them know because you only have to pay half price for your meal. I lived in PA for 41 years before moving to KY in Sept 2022 and I went to Shady Maple many times. Love the farmers market their. They have some awesome things there that you can't find in other shops. Thanks for this video, reminds me of "home".
Great Video I love learning more about the Amish and Mennonite communities this place is amazing I bet the food was delicious too, I hope you can go to the Amish community in Crossville or Tellico Plains Tennessee, I love your videos,safe travels ❤😊
I am unable to travel due to health reasons so I truly enjoyed the video tour. The 3D art work was some of the best I have ever seen. Yes, as you mentioned, you could make a video on the art work alone. I wish you would have shared what kind of foods were on the buffet. Just guessing there was anything and everything you can imagine. I hope it was tasty. Keep sharing and I will continue to watch and be educated on the places we have here in America that I have never visited. You are going places ! Good for you ! Safe travels.
Hats off to Rebecca she is so kind and very polite. Everyone I ever incountered there have been the same way. The food is bangin and they have absolutely everything you can imagine. The choices are endless and delicious
This place is amazing. The fact that it started as roadside stand and it has grown to be what it is now is amazing. Thank for sharing this story with us. God Bless 🙏 Greetings from the Dominican Republic 🤗
We have been there numerous times. Wonderful place to go! We had a friend that knew Mr. Zook that did the three D art work pictures. He took us to Mr. Zook’s home and studio in the early 1990’s and we got to meet him and watch as he was working on one of his art works. Very tedious and time consuming work. He was very friendly and great to meet and talk to him. He told us how long it would take to do different pieces but can’t remember all he told us.
Thank you for sharing this video!! Loved it!! Love the place, and it feels like I’ve been there myself!! Wow!! That place is amazing!! I’m A Mennonite myself so keep on sharing Mennonite videos from across the globe!! I’ll be watching!! 💝
We have loved in Pa. for a long time and just went to Shady Maple last month. It is an amazing place. There is so much variety, not just buffet items, but other specialty stations. Way too much food. If you put one bite of half of the items on your plate, you wouldn't be able to eat it. The paintings are awesome and facility is spotless. Next time we go, we will have to work up an appetite at the farm market first.Absolutely the best buffet we have ever been to.
Great job as always John thanks for showing that there's more than just a place to eat I don't think anyone else has showed the art work or gift shop that I have watched
Such beautiful art work. I would be in aw for days. All this work was a gift from God. This man must of been amazing to watch. Such a beautiful place to visit. Thank you for the video.
I live in Lancaster County, Pa. about 30 minutes from Shady Maple. I was actually raised in Wise County, Virginia near the small town of Pound. Glad to see you explring the Dutch country!
Shady Mables is great place to spend half a day looking at the amazing 3D art and gift shop. Thanks for the comment what state do you watch my videos from?
The food looks like very good quality ! Hard to find buffets and eateries with quality food anymore. I like the layout of the place too! Very flowy and spacious!
That is so cool!!! You totally could make 3 or 4 videos out of this one . I hope your doing at least one more . Cool new with the Beautiful old! I would totally be cool with that every now and again.
Was there on Wednesday Feb 15th. Proof of your birthday and 1 paying guest and you get to eat for free. You also get a coupon book with discounts at the gift shop and the grocery store. This is an awesome place to eat.

Loved it. Yes definitely could spend hours in there. Start with breakfast, look around have lunch, continue looking have dinner, repack van, then go home. I understand you going fast, didn't mind that and thankfully you aren't one that swings the phone around, you hold it steady, which is a blessing for someone like me, swinging motions, jerky movements quickly bring on bad migraines. Alot would be open buggies so pull in out of the rain. RVs and trailer homes made by Amish far better built then any where else.
Some people just use their phones and hold in their hands, I use a device called a gamble, which makes the video flow smoothly. Thanks for watching and for your comment.
Holy cow that's relation to me I love that 3-D artwork definitely definitely gonna have to make a trip out there an check this place out absolutely beautiful place John thank you so much for sharing an again those pieces of artwork are absolutely exquisite
This place looks amazing! We're only about 2 hours from there in Maryland, might try to get out there one weekend. Where I live in Maryland, very close there is a Dutch Pennsylvania market right in the heart of Germantown that has foods, a restaurant, furniture, gifts, sometimes plants. We enjoy going there occasionally and buying candy, or sometimes other food items, like produce, but we really like their breads they make on site.
I’ve been there several times. The food is delicious not only that you need to go take a walk through the farmers market. The corn in the summertime is delicious. It’s worth the trip.
I love this place,my family and I go all the time,I live about 25 minutes from there, I love the store down the road best chicken pot pie,and best pumpkin custard and egg custard
There is a place in Rhode Island that is called the Nordic lodge . It is smaller in size with a bar and gift shop . It is all you can eat seafoods and steaks , deserts and more . I check the new price this year and it went up a lot , $135 for 2 hour seating limit on food items . The last time I went was a few years ago @ $75 a seating I’d love to go to shady maple some day
I grew up 20 minutes away from Shady Maple and we'd eat there quite a bit. I remember when they were in the original building, which is now Gish's furniture store. As a teenager, friends and I would eat at Shady Maple every Saturday. They do different feature diners each night and you get a free meal on your birthday.

@@theappalachianchannel we shop the Amish stores up there and make a day of it. Plus we hit the outlet stores in Reading and Lancaster. It is a nice peaceful drive through Maryland and Southern Pennsylvania. Thanks I really enjoy your channel.
This is about 4.5 hrs from my home. It looks like a great place to go spend a weekend for sure or better yet because I'm not great fan of large crowds being as I work in live entertainment and have al my life i prefer the slow Monday and Tuesdays for my adventures. EDIT: I also used to work out of town a lot and I have learned that if you call in advance you can often get construction rates at hotels and motels on weekdays for workers but the rate goes to full on the weekends, Call and ask first and book over the phone when you get a great rate if you know you are going for sure. You travel a lot. I don't know if you use that trick but it does work. Just tell them you will be in that area working, We also have a strong Amish community here in central to east and south east Ohio where I live. There is buffet in Dover that is drop dead the best food you ever ate. Had a guy with us working a weekend festival in that area some years back and promotor was Amish and he sent us to the place in Dover and fed our crew. One of the guys had to go home thext day after the buffet visit. He ate so much he was literally sick for 2 days after wards. He had weight problem because he addicted to food. Thankfully he has gotten over that and is still with us 25 years later.
I would love to go to there just for vacation. The Mennonite and Amish way of life is very interesting to me. I guess I just love the old way of living and I believe in God bc he is my Savior. There is nothing more important than family. Thanks for sharing this video. I wouldn’t have even known about this place had you not done the video. So thanks a million

We go to the farmers market for local veggies and fruits. I'm from Reading PA. 25 minutes away. Grew up on the buffet. Lol

Been watching most of the day. So interesting 🤔 can't stop. You do fantastic work.

An absolutely breathtaking place. You do move the camera rather quickly. Understand there's a lot to take in
We had only a short amount of time to film
