I know this is later than intended but with it being Memorial Day weekend I was a little busy. Anyway, this past Saturday my boyfriend, Ronnie, ended up picking our lunch venue. He chose Shady Maple Smorgasbord in Blue Ball, Pennsylvania, a very Amish town. Shady Maple was huge the building for dining in was enormous on it's own. It was a self-serve style buffet and there was plenty of food! We arrived at about 10:00 so we had brunch. Their breakfast foods were fantastic, and they had such a variety! There were three different kinds of bacon alone. They also had four different grill stations that you could get your own omelet made. My personal favorites however, were the cheesy hashbrowns, the sausage gravy, and the bacon might have been some of the best bacon I have ever tasted! We also had some of the lunch food as well, but we were less impressed with those options, the crab cakes were a little too spicy, however the mashed potatoes were good.
There are additional attractions to Shady Maple besides the food. There was an enormous gift shop underneath the dining area. There were so many different things; adorable knick-knacks, sports paraphenalia, and handmade quilts, along with so much more. There was also a wonderful farmer's market in the building beside the buffet. It was huge and smelled simply delicious. They were giving out so many free samples, but unfortunately we were too stuffed to try anything. Going to Shady Maple, even though it was a bit of a drive was a greast experience, the food was very good and there were other attractions that made the trip even more worth while.
