Shady Maple is the largest buffet in the area and easily feeds hundreds per day. All you can eat buffet for $25 per adult, kids 10 and below were half price.

Got there just as dinner service started (4 PM). It quickly got busier as the dinner hour approached. Food was good, continually restocking and making sure there’s plenty to choose from. Staff were all very pleasant. We sat in the table seating area, which I like better than the booth area (although it may be a little louder in table seating? It didn’t bother us though). It was prime rib night, but the brisket stole the show for me! So awesome! Love the selection of everything, and soda choices are great too.

Largest buffet we have ever seen. Set up has a nice assortment of meats, vegetables, sides, salads, desserts, and much more! Our favorites were the fried chicken and prime rib but they have much more to choose from. Most of the food tastes homemade as well as their desserts, everything we had was very fresh. Staff was friendly. Very clean buffet. Prices are reasonable for the food quality and selection. They have plenty of parking and also have a Huge gift shop and bakery that has reasonable prices.

Found out about this place years ago and finally planned enough of a trip to justify a three hour drive to eat at a buffet. Had two dinners and a breakfast there. Food was amazing quality, doubly so when you consider the price. I definitely plan on returning.

There’s so much food!!!!! Tip: get a small piece of everything so you can taste it and have room for your stomach. Each night is a different star protein. The desserts and delectable Dutch food is a must to eat. This place can hold 600+ people easily. Had to come here 2x in one week to eat the food I have tried. Desserts are so good, they’re placed on shelves and rows next to each other. There’s so many drinks to try and a large grilling station. 1 floor below is the gift shop. They have so many oddities . In the same vicinity There’s a supermarket and generals store. The supermarket is a great place to buy some of those buffet food right to your table for home.

It’s a very well organized restaurant. There is so much variety in the buffet. It’s better to just checkout the entire selection before you start adding to your plate . There are grill options as well. If you want to try most of the food options then try getting little bit of each item. And remember that there is wide selection of dessert as well. Also you will find plenty of drinks to choose from.

Absolute best time! I recently went here for the first time and everything about it was amazing. They run everything so smoothly and you constantly see employees restocking food and keeping areas clean! Can’t wait to come out here again. The gift shop downstairs is so cool. So much to look at!!!

The outside is very nice. Inside is a very large room where customers line up and wait to get Inside. The cashiers were very slow. Lovely wall hangings and artwork. They were the best part of the restaurant. The staff Inside the dining room are pleasant. Very helpful with explaining everything we needed to know about how the dining room runs. There is a lot of food with a lot of choices. It’s unfortunate that the majority of the food is mediocre. The trays were kept full which is good. The cost is on the high side. We paid just under $20 per person and that was with a senior discount. While we enjoyed ourselves, it’s not a place we would go visit again anytime soon if at all.

Where to start with this review… I didn’t realize this was the largest buffet in America and you can tell as soon as you pull into the parking lot. It’s almost as if you pulled into a shopping mall parking lot. The line moved quickly for a Saturday lunch and we were seated within 15 minutes. The staff was incredibly friendly and provided great table service.

We love this place! There’s so much good food at this buffet, and you’ll definitely not leave hungry at all! The price is a little higher than most buffets, but it’s totally worth it. There’s a large selection and the food is decent quality overall.
