Shady Maple Smorgasbord
129 Toddy Dr, East Earl, PA
Shady Maple is the number two tourist attraction in Lancaster County and with good reason. Their award-winning smorgasbord (buffet) is the largest of them all. Even so, the Weaver family takes an active role in the business, ensuring that quality is never sacrificed. In addition to the buffet line, there are stations that will whip up things like seafood, steak, or Asian fare depending on the day of the week. Although it's difficult, be sure to save room for dessert! PRO TIP: Make plans to come here on your birthday and your meal will be FREE (must show ID)!
