I don't know about amazing but the food was okay for a buffet. I went with a group so our food was hot. Steak on the grill, fried chicken, hush puppies were tasty. Vegetables, not so much. Service was excellent and it was crowded. Bathroom was clean, especially for a large restaurant. Ice tea was also good. I recommend for groups, but if you want top of the line, don't go to a buffet anywhere for $20 and under.

This place is amazing. We walked in and there were cups that you could fill any sodas or drink. Then, we grabbed a plate and there is everything you could imagine. The one old lady waitress was so polite and gave us 3 refills of drinks and anything we asked for. Mostly pretty clean but a few stains on walls which is expected from diners/restraunts/buffets. Will come back 100%!

Our table person Patty was phenomenal!! Brought out my refill before I even got to ask for it!!. Food was very good all around , steak was excellent. Pies, fries and chicken thighs.... Mmmmm good. Ice cream and toppings awesome! Very pleasantly surprised, better than Shady Maple by an hour lol. Clean food prep area. Clean restroom (Men's), about $22 per adult, buffet and soda included. Will be back.

We had a large group of 16. Food was good and the service was great. We had to sit at multiple tables due to the size of our group and the staff taking care of us was very friendly and engaging. This place gets a bad rap. We will definitely be back.

I visited this location during my visit to Tanger Outlets Mall in lancaster. They have parking all around it. On a busy Sunday lunch, it was very difficult to find the parking spot. I found one on the back side of the restaurant. There are other parking lots nearby, but you have to park and walk a little bit. As we enter the restaurant, you have an option to select the drinks if you want to purchase them as an extra option or just the buffet. I got a small size drink and lunch buffet . There were at least twenty people ahead of me in a line that took around ten minutes to get in. I was able to locate a table for me. It was not clean at the time, but there were people always looking around to get the table cleaned and provide the utensils and napkins. They have a great collection of food in the buffet. Starting with the salads, pizza, seafood, mac and cheese, soup, fresh grilled meat, shrimp, filet fish, fries, and 100 other things. The desert section is a huge section and worth trying every one of them. The drawbacks are that it is very crowded, the staff couldn't keep up with cleaning and the flooring is sticky, but it provides a good value for your money. I would suggest you go at a busy time, so that the food is constantly refilled and made in front of you and served hot. The hostess has an attitude as if food is offered free. Otherwise, once you go past that, see above.

Ok for the bang for your over money. This place does great. Remember this is a buffet. And it is not specialize in anyone thing. And I have poorer quality foods at places that were. Everything I had was decent quality. Service was good. I don't judge service to much because it can be hit or miss. They kept my table clean and the food area was also clean and full of hot and fresh selection. If you want some good advice on buffets like this one. Come at a busier times. Things are hot and fresh. And are full. Yes you have deal with people wondering around. But it is the best time to be there .for this type of food style. I'm going to get it 5 stars And the second best in Lancaster area. And we know what the best is.

I honestly didn't come in with high expectations... I'm glad I was wrong. For a weekday evening they were surprisingly busy, still we were seated promptly and the food stayed filled and fresh. The quality of the food was great as was the flavor. I expected boxed mashed potatoes, hard rolls, dry and processed meat and mushy vegetables.. quite the opposite is what I encountered. We also received superb service and were tended to, drinks kept full and dirty dishes removed often. I'm not usually a fan of buffets, but I will say due to the quality and cleanliness that I experienced, I would not second-guess another trip back to this location. KUDOS!!!
