I grew up 20 minutes from Shady Maple and it was me and my dad’s favorite breakfast spot for so many years. I lost my dad almost 2 years ago and this video reminded me of so many great mornings with him at Shady Maple. If you ever make it back there-go for breakfast and you won’t regret it.
Heads up for anyone who's thinking of going here: you get to eat for free on your birthday. Me and the family live about 20 min away so that's usually a good birthday feast lol. Then walk off the fullness in the big gift shop on the bottom floor.
@@photofabpaperflowers Yes they are friends with my family nice. I want to school with a guy that married into the family now he runs all the dairy farms. And right here in Morgantown Pennsylvania.
Oh I took your advice and I went t to shady maple I would give that place a three and that’s being nice the place was horrible food was cold all picked overYou had to walk about a quarter of a mile just to get your food and the time you got back with your food it would be cold the glasses that you got to drink out of taste like soapy water very expensive do not go there
@@stephaniecoleman4126 you're literally the first person Ive ever heard say this. Ive been there many times with family and friends and everyone always goes away satisfied. For a buffet the food is top tier. Sure its not gonna be like a 5 star restaurant, thats not what its trying to be. The amish are good people and they actually care about the service they provide unlike most american dining places now.
I fully agree. I worked in the Shady Maple grocery store and it would just upset me to have tourist throw their cameras in the plain community’s faces.
This is probably just my 3rd or 4th video that I have seen of yours as I just found your channel. You’re an absolute delight! Please please please don’t ever change. Your genuine attitude and the way you carry yourself is awesome!
Thank you for doing a Blog on Lancaster Pennsylvania. One of my favorite places on Earth. I go at least twice a year when I want to get away and just relax and eat very very good food. This is definitely God's country.
Nate, I am loving these PA vlogs. I am from the Gettysburg area and visit Hershey Park, Knoebels and Shady Maple a few times a year. Shady Maple is so freaking good! The homemade desserts are amazing and we love visiting the gift shop below. It is an adventure in its self. Can't wait to see more PA vlogs!
I grew up in the Hershey area and graduated high school there too. Now I'm in FL like you. I do go back up each year. The Amish area is a must as well as Hershey. Thank you for your wonderful videos!
Love this content. The shady maple farm market is a giant grocery store and is a gem for those of us who live close. We haven’t been to the smorgasbord since the pandemic so thx for sharing this so we know what to expect when we do go cause we miss it!! And yes, while dinner is good, breakfast there is The Best!
Your RUclips videos touch my heart 💜❤️ Quick Question what is your most favorite thing to have a safe day nice easy drive home 🏘️🏘️ trying to say Hi to you Nate this is Jenna Dabao
OMG Nate! That buffet looks incredible. Clearly, the Amish, along with your awesome assistance, is showing the whole world how to operate a buffet. Thank you so much, but now m really hungry…lol.
I used to go a place called Amish Acres in Indiana. That was 30 years ago and I STILL can taste the white bean soup and how healthy all the food was. The ORIGINAL organic! Lovely people who put love and hard work into their heritage. TY for sharing
“Feet don’t fail me now, feet don’t fail me now, wooo😀”. I love it. That’s when you know the food is good when you start singing. Thanks for posting, I live in Philly and love going to Shady Maples. The food is sooo delicious ❤️
Shoefly Pie is molasses-based. My parents visited Lancaster every fall and brought back amazing breads, sweets, relishes, etc. Whoopie Pies and apple dumplings were a must! I know the big buffet and family-style restaurants in Pennsylvania Dutch country miss the bus trips coming through. Thanks for the memories!
It was very cool to see Shady through a new visitors eyes! I live near there and have been many times. Dessert is definitely my favorite part! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Hey, you make my kids and me watch you and we love you. I’m a Steamfitter out of Philadelphia. My son’s girlfriend is from Scranton, so we loved that you were from Scranton. You are awesome!!!
We love Shady Maple! We have been going there for over 30 years! Thanks for taking us along and showing us how they are doing it with Covid! You never know what you will find in the Good's Store!
I love the Hamish way of life ,every video I watch of their cooking the food looks so healthy,clean,and scrumptious, I promise myself,next time I vist the USA,going to Pennsylvania and visiting the Hamish market,restaurants will be a must do ,I promise myself!.
One of my favourite memories is going to Lancaster with my grandparents when I was a little girl, back in the late 60’s early 70’s. I remember going to an amusement park called, Dutch Wonderland and went to Amish Farm house and Museum. Also remember going to a buffet similar, to the one you ate at, mind you, it could’ve been the same one, since I don’t know how long they’ve been in business. I do remember loving all the food I tried!
I've been to Lancaster PA my whole life for family vacations as a kid and now take my own kids... haven't been to Shady Maple but I'm excited to see this video :)
We’ve been to the famous Grey Brothers Cafeteria near Indianapolis but never here, this looks even better!! Someday! #goals!! Great video and an epic effort in trying all their amazing looking food!
This was a great overview of the restaurant 👍. I LOVE the fact that this is your new favorite restaurant!! That’s quite an honor from a traveling pro like you:) I also love Lancaster exceedingly much 😄😆 so much so that I make videos all about it ;) thanks again for bringing everyone with you on this trip 👌
I really loved this vlog, I live in UK but have always wanted to travel to see the Armish county, the resterant look fabulous and much to good for children, it was nice to see you with yr mum and Bonnie in yr last vlog, I hope they are both well, take care and stay safe dear Nate.
Shoefly pie is actually molasses, no raisins! I get the mix up, though. Definitely check out the shop downstairs at Shady Maple next time you go!! It's the best part. And their breakfast is incredible. I always get a MTO pancake with white chocolate chips and peanut butter chips with banana slices :)
New subscriber! Love this video! My family is Pennsylvania Dutch and my grandmother used to make those dumplings. I miss them so much! We always topped ours with cream rather than ice cream. You brought back some beautiful memories for me with this food and my grandmother's cooking. Thank you!
Love that you ate enough for a family lol. It all looks so nice. Nothing like this in the U.K. keep up the great Vlogs and staying happy it’s infectious.
Thank you from Toronto, Canada! Our buffets have been closed since November 2020 so this video made me so happy. Once that border opens, I know where I want to visit first! 💖
I’ve lived in Florida over 20 years now but am from NJ, visited Lancaster all my life and have eaten there many times! I miss the countryside SO much, beautiful! Nothing like it here😜
Wow what a great looking place . The food looks so scrumptious . Thank you for sharing your visit there. I am full just looking at all the wonderful food choices. Have a blessed rest of your week.
Hi Nate! I am living real close to Disney now but years ago I lived up North and every spring and fall my friends and I would do a long weekend to Lancaster! So much fun!. We used to go to Miller's Smorgsbord which was great but wish I had a chance to have tried this restaurant which looks amazing...oh well maybe one day! Maybe one day I will see you in Disney or Disney Springs and buy you a drink!
Just a heads up. Lancaster is pronounced Lan kissed her. Great vlog, thanks for visiting our state. You will have to return to enjoy the Pa Renaissance Fair. Great food and fun. Stay safe.
Shoo Fly Pie is made with molasses, brown sugar, shortening and flour. It was probably the molasses flavour that you thought were raisins. The Amish dishes and the fruit pies and whoopie pies are delicious!
Breakfast is my favorite meal at Shady Maple. The made-to-order omelets are great, and you just cannot get a better donut. For dinner, you missed the fries! They are on the salad bar. One of the best sides they have! Tuesday nights they also have peel-and-eat shrimp. And the ham balls (definitely a Lancaster County thing) are delicious, but they don't have them every night. Love that place!
Hey Nate Shady Maple is about 12 minutes from me.. it's a family favorite of ours especially since it is free on your birthday so the whole family goes when we have a birthday person.... So glad you liked it.. shop in the market and garden center all the time.. Great hat!! Have a great week with the family I am loving watching!!
I have Missed You !! We went to Disney in December . Won’t be back if ever … Glad you are doing different places .. I so enjoy you You are interesting and make it fun !!🤪🤣👍😃
I grew up in this area. Many a time I had a free meal on my birthday. We used to eat there a few times a year. Nate, you missed the gigantic gift store on the bottom of the restaurant. Your Mom would have loved it.
Wow there is so much to choose from!! Yes definitely go back for breakfast sometime would love to see what they do. It’s so nice to see you can get up and go pick your food for a change, let’s hope the ‘buffet’ make more of a comeback! 😋
Love all your movie references!!!!! Lol Your so fun to watch and the way you enjoy food is fantastic! We are a def foodie family! Ty for the amazing video!!
I grew up 20 minutes from Shady Maple and it was me and my dad’s favorite breakfast spot for so many years. I lost my dad almost 2 years ago and this video reminded me of so many great mornings with him at Shady Maple. If you ever make it back there-go for breakfast and you won’t regret it.

Did you go to Twin Valley?
Sorry for the lost of your dad. By looking at this Buffet, I am certain you and he enjoyed the food and each other's company.☺️🤤
RIP

I live close too. Do you go to Yoder's Buffet? I prefer that over Shady Maple. :)
@@photofabpaperflowers Yes they are friends with my family nice. I want to school with a guy that married into the family now he runs all the dairy farms. And right here in Morgantown Pennsylvania.
I sure hope that still a thing in 2023
Dang, as a Pennsylvanian, it's good to see you showing off some of the nice tourist spots
Heck yea

@@stephaniecoleman4126 well to be fair, I said "tourist" spots. Typically there's a stigma with that title, sorry it stunk :(
Shady maple is magnificent. We were just there last week after we left Dutch wonderland

Nate needs a travel food show on a platform like Netflix or something. This is electric content, my man.
I really applaud Nate for respecting people’s privacy in his videos!!!
privacy in a public buffet 😂
I fully agree. I worked in the Shady Maple grocery store and it would just upset me to have tourist throw their cameras in the plain community’s faces.
This is probably just my 3rd or 4th video that I have seen of yours as I just found your channel. You’re an absolute delight! Please please please don’t ever change. Your genuine attitude and the way you carry yourself is awesome!
Instead of a Disney vacation, I’m gonna base a vacation on that smorgasbord.
This meal at Disney would cost you $10k.
You did great in regards to filming in the Amish community and look at you, you found another great hat in PA. Good for you buddy.
Don’t ever stop the dream sequence.

The breakfast- you must do the breakfast! It's something else!
Also, Shoo-fly pie is molasses. it doesn't usually have raisins.
My PA Dutch wife immediately pointed that out too! We'll forgive him, he's not from here 😄
I almost had a small fit lol but I'll forgive him. Raisin pie is an entirely different Dutch delicacy. Shoofly never has raisins.
@@KyleWestcott Those filled raisin cookies, now that's what I think of when I think PA Dutch raisin dessert!
Cajun Catfish is great!
Take it from the name--those aren't raisins!
Brought tears to my eye's watching you have the brisket Thx for sharing :)
Shady Maple Breakfast was the best ever!!
Love that you ate enough for a family lol. It all looks so nice. Nothing like this in the U.K. keep up the great Vlogs and staying happy it’s infectious.
