Customer Reviews
Huge buffet that serves hundreds at a time. You might have to stand in line to pay to go in but the line moves fairly quickly. The restaurant has always been clean every time we’ve been there. Many, many items on the menu. And plenty of different drink options. No alcohol. Lots of dessert items and ice cream is available. Tons of parking including spots for buses. We went for dinner and for an adult it was $30.03. There is a huge gift shop downstairs with tones of unique items.
Great food, great service! The only part that can be long is the line to pay and the line to find a seat. For the most part they have a whole operation to make sure that moves smoothly. They have people that watch the tables for when people leave. Tables get cleaned almost instantly and they are ready for the next group to sit down. This time it took about 30-40 min in line from car to table. Food is amazing. They have alot of choices of what to eat and they are all great. Fruit was awesome and juicy. French toast was great, bacon crispy, Eggs from the omlette station were amazing. You get to pick your toppings and how you want your egg cooked. They had a pancake station, but I did not get pancakes this time. I even saw someone getting ice cream!? This place is an amazing value for what fo
On the last Saturday of the year, we went to this buffet. We waited less than 15 minutes. It was $35 per person for the lunch-and-dinner menu. The variety of food was excellent and there was a lot to choose from. We started with the proteins and main dishes — the pizza, burgers, steak, and brisket were all great. Then we had the fresh, diverse salads, and after that the desserts. The coffee selection wasn’t very big, and the sodas and drinks were too sweet for my taste, but the fresh juices were amazing. Downstairs there’s a big gift shop. The items aren’t necessarily local, but on the left side there’s a section with Amish products that I highly recommend. I recommend going before 1:00 p.m
This is really a huge restaurant with lots and lots of great food. You stand in line to pay and then proceed to another line to be seated. The food is fresh and good quality. Sodas are included. The gift shop downstairs is also worth visiting. It sometimes gets very crowded.
Very surprised by the selection and how good the food was! One of the best buffet I've been to which makes sense since it's the largest in the country. Had no issues with anything during my visit tons of food options from pizza to seafood to vegetable all delicious. Service was great to lady was nice and other staff members. Some stuff is freshly made and cut for you like the burgers and brisket. They also have ice cream like soft serve and milkshake plus slushie and soda you can get yourself. Tons of seats for people to sit. When you're done eating they have a really big gift shop downstairs which I'd almost call it a store all by itself how big it was lots of Crafted items and other unique things to find. If you're able definitely worth checking it out much different experience compar
