Great variety, I definitely preferred this buffet over Shady maples...their quality is much better but you can tell that things have sat out for longer than wanted. Definitely recommend trying the ham balls though. Staff is very friendly and if you sit by the back windows the view is nice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There were quite a few flies by our table which wasn't my favorite but we still enjoyed our lunch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

We were on the way home from a softball tournament in PA and wanted to experience a Smorgasbord. We got lucky and Miller's Smorgasbord was on the way home! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambience - I see that others described the decor as "vintage" and that would be an accurate description. The dining room and buffet stations are a little dimly lit[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Food - this is the main reason people come here and it did not disappoint. There was a lot of variety and the food quality is generally 3.5 stars. Nothing really jumped out as outstanding, but everything was generally slightly above average in quality by buffet standards. The desserts are baked in house and was definitely the highlight of the meal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Note: be sure to take a souvenir tourist pic in the old car in the lobby[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]].

We had heard good things about this restaurant with many saying it was better than the more popular one. We did enjoy the food but we definitely liked the other better. The restaurant is very big and there was so much food to pick from! I enjoyed everything i tried but the two problems I had were the drinks do not come with your meal but instead are a separate charge. The other was the fact that it seemed very crowded around the food area and hard to pass others. If i had to pick between the two id go to the other because it felt much less crowded. Still both are very good and definitely worth a visit.

This was my first time visiting and until now I've been going to the more popular one in Lancaster. However, after this visit, I would say Miller's is better! While the selection may be slightly limited, the quality makes up for it. They also offer just the right number of selection for my personal liking. The service was great, we got seated right away and our waitress was awesome! She was attentive and prompt throughout our entire meal. Millers is a great spot for families and individuals. They do accept reservations which I think is unique ! Food wise, you really can't go wrong! My favorite pair was the fried chicken, roast beef and broccoli salad!!! The chicken was fried perfectly, not dry and flavorful! The roast beef was also very tender !! Paired beautifully with the horseradish, not too strong. The broccoli salad was creamy and minced fine!! Overall all the other dishes were good. I will say, be warned about their salted caramel cheesecake. It was SUPER salty.. almost unbearable to eat...

We stopped by Miller's Smorgasbord for Sunday brunch, and it quickly became a new favorite for our group of four. This all-you-can-eat Amish and American buffet really delivers. From brown buttered noodles to the carved roast beef and perfectly crispy fried chicken, everything we tried was fresh, hot, and delicious. Service was just as impressive as the food. Our plates were cleared promptly and drinks were always refreshed without having to ask. Compared to other local Amish buffets like Shady Maple, Miller's felt calmer, more organized, and overall a better dining experience. Of the over 3 dozen items to choose from on the buffet line, we had our favorites. The fried chicken was crunchy and seasoned just right, the roast beef was tender and carved to order, and we loved the tangy broccoli slaw. Don't skip the desserts either, ie. homemade pies, cakes and cookies. At $30 per adult, it's a bit pricier than some buffets in the area, but for the quality and service, it's 100% worth it, especially if you've got a solid appetite. 100% will be back

Round 2: Sampler plate (best items included potato stuffing, turkey salad, satueed fish)
Mike B.

What can I add after almost 800 reviews? Well... Unpopular take #1: There are plenty of healthy options here No one talks about it but there is a legitimate salad bar. Lots of greens, vegetables, healthy stuff. And it's fresh. If you don't want to feel completely fat from eating here, start with a salad. Unpopular take #2: The best things on the buffet aren't the things people talk about Such as: - Homemade turkey salad - Potato stuffing (mashed potatoes that taste like stuffing...?) - Raisin bread-pudding (using the day old homemade raisin bread, super buttery and sugary) Unpopular angle #3: It's not always super busy I ate at 11:30am on a Wednesday, right when they opened. Probably 20 other people in the entire huge place. No wait and no lines at the buffet. If you have control over your schedule, just make your own life easy and go when it's not busy. Overall, I thought it was quite good. Not everything was great but there were plenty of tasty options, the service was friendly, and it definitely had that feeling of being an American institution.

Desserts -- the Warm Chocolate Pecan Pie, Carmel cheesecake, & cookie ice cream
Sarah S.

This was run like a well oiled machine. Folks had their roles and performed them well. The food options were plentiful. We both enjoyed multiple items. Hubs was a fan of the shrimp, fried chicken, & French fries. I enjoyed the salad bar, broccoli salad, ham, & roast beef. On the dessert front the pecan chocolate pie was very good. If I was visiting the area again I would be sure to call ahead as it was very popular with parties of all sizes on a Sunday evening.

In honor of Pi Day, 3.14 today, I was challenged my favorite Pie place. Favorite Pizza pie, I could do all day long, but Pie as in apple, pecan, pumpkin, etc., it's not really a normal thing I eat. However, I've been to Miller's Smorgasbord 3 times with my parents, twice for Thanksgiving & the first time was in March 2022 and again in October 2022. My parents live in Lancaster, and this is their favorite Smorgasbord. March 2022 & October 2022: My parents had the winter season coupon for BOGO that was expiring soon and happened to be up visiting. Wow, this place is awesome! It's a massive buffet with various hearty Amish types of foods from mashed potatoes (which are outstanding here), raisin bread (another specialty), other various sides & meats, as well as dessert. Also, gotta give a shoutout to the awesome fried chicken. We revisited for my mom's birthday in October as you get a free meal on your birthday. They are closed on Sunday; so if your birthday is on a Sunday, you can go the day before or after. Thanksgiving 2023 & 2024: They have a great Thanksgiving spread; all the traditional Thanksgiving items, their famous mashed potatoes, turkey, stuffing, etc., but also their other items like the raisin bread, and prime rib is added to the mix. There's a ton of food. There's also always the desserts (Thanksgiving & other times), which deserve their own paragraph. It's a big bar of various Pies...apple, pecan, & even Shoefly pie, a delicious Amish favorite of mine. But for traditional Thanksgiving, pecan is my favorite. Their Pies & other desserts are excellent. You can get your Pie, with a person that scoops ice cream on it making it A la mode (the fancy French way of saying stick some ice cream on that sucker!). Other General comments: The place is huge, but it's still a madhouse especially at Thanksgiving. Even in March 2022, I came hungry as we wanted to go for dinner, but they were full. Reservations are recommended. So, we ended up going to the weaker Cracker Barrel relatively close. And you might have a reservation, and it could be another 30 minutes at Thanksgiving. But the staff is nice, servers are friendly, get refills in a timely manner. There are a lot of areas for seating on the 360 degree buffet area, that's a huge circumference, radius, & diameter around this circle (again in honor of Pi Day).

The food was really good. My husband said the salmon was amazing. My chicken Parmesan was more like a fried chicken breast. It was very good but very thin. I did not taste any Parmesan cheese in the crust and was only given a few cold slices of shaved Parmesan on top. It would've been much better if the cheese had been melted. Our server was very polite. It did take a while for us to get recognized after we sat down and to get refills. But I would definitely go there again. The prices were very reasonable, much cheaper than I expected-under $25 for each entree. You also get a basket of bread. The portion sizes were very generous.

The hostess sat us promptly. The server took about 10 minutes to get to us and we were ready to order everything. We ordered two non alcoholic drinks, French onion soup, a Cobb salad with steak no ham, no bacon, blue cheese dressing and green goddess dressing and poutine fries. The soup was decent. A little sweet for French onion. My salad came out with both ham and bacon on it, and I was missing my green dressing. The steak was tough and I wasn't given a steak knife so I was sawing away at it with a butter knife. I picked the ham and bacon off the salad and put it on a side plate. I couldn't get all of the bacon out. The server finally came to check in, I asked for the green dressing and let him know the drinks hadn't come yet. My husband's drink came out. Mine did not. Towards the end of the meal I asked for the drink. It was just soda and peach. When he brought it he let me know it was spiced peach. I wish I knew that when I ordered it. It tasted like booze and I couldn't drink it. When we were finished and our plates were clear the server then apologized for the ham and bacon. I would have rather it been fixed than be an after thought. I just feel we were forgotten about

Food was great, but service was horrible…read more My family & I are from out of town - POC. We stopped by for lunch in hopes of eating a good meal due to all the reviews. We ordered 3 paninis and tenders, along with drinks. Beverages were served shortly after. Four to five couples & groups came and ordered after us. Oddly enough, their food was served first. We waited roughly 30-45 minutes. Didn't think anything of it, until one of the workers dropped the tenders we ordered for my child. Instead of immediately saying she would replace the tenders, she asked if it needed to be replaced. Logic dictates, especially if you work in the food industry and you, as the server dropped it on the counter replace the items immediately, no questions asked. Obviously, I want the items replaced. First & foremost, my child is hungry. Secondly, I paid for the food & expect my order to be fulfilled in its entitreity without racial bias! I confronted the server about her lack of common sense and unacceptable behavior. To which she said, "But you won't let me talk" or "You won't even listen to my side of the story". I mean cmon, you work in the food industry - take accountability! Why am I educating you on healthy food standards and food safety? I told the employee to sit down & her response was "You're not my mother". Real professional! Please note, as a mother I don't raise idiots. Her own mother would likely be disappointed in the way she took zero accountability for her lack of actions and decisions. I waved her away. It's quite obvious that she expected my child to eat tenders that were contaminated from when dropping it on the counter & my group, persons of color to excuse her behavior. We left the establishment, fully aware that the treatment we endured was racially driven. All the other customers who ordered after us were not people of color & somehow got their food before us! Outside, a person of color approached my group. She noted that she has also been mistreated due to the color of her skin & was treated as less than in the same location. DO NOT VISIT THIS PLACE! Employees are racist, lack human decency and common sense! Additionally, employees are improperly trained/educated on food safety.
