So we had all you could eat breakfast in the main hotel. It we as nice we did that twice. This time we were able to stay at the Carriage House on the platform it was so nice. I think that it was a new section. We normally stay in the carriage which is equally nice. We had breakfast in the new restaurant it was amazing it was all you can eat. The food was great the staff was friendly. There were stores in the foyer area outside the restaurant. If you go to Sight and Sound definitely give it a stay you can Literally walk to the theater from the hotel. I wish I could give more than 5 stars.

All the pies we tried were delicious. The stand out: Best Lemon Meringue pie I have EVER had, and I LOVE lemon meringue pie. I made my husband go almost an hour each way (so 2 hours) so I could have this pie as my Easter dessert. He didn't mind, we ate breakfast while we were there, lol. Note: breakfast doesn't include pies, but for less than $5 you get a slice of pie to go that is really 2 slices worth. The only reason I wouldn't get a whole pie, is because I would eat the WHOLE pie. I would love to post a picture of said pie, but I ate it. (I'll try to update with some pics the next time we go!)

They shuttle you in like the cattle in nearby fields, lines in the front followed by more lines to get seated, felt like I was going to be in escorted to the grill to be prepped for consumption. Everything was salty, tough to chew, canned style vegetables (more salt). I should have known better what to expect with a buffet style meal but had high hopes the quality of food would be better, reminds you of school lunch / cafeteria crap. Not worth the price. The gift shop was massive and had lots of "gifts" or items to buy for yourself. Don't waster your time coming here for lunch, go somewhere else that is local and better quality of food. Also the waitress was picking her teeth and digging in her mouth in between clearing off used plates/cups from tables. The soft serve icecream machine was the best part.

Note to those navigating the Bird-in-Hand restaurant website, there is a section for coupons and "specials," that is a must to check out. I need to take a moment to emphasize the customer service, which far exceeds nearly anything I've encountered elsewhere. My hands shake and this was seen while at the hot food area (eggs/ham). The gentleman behind the bar, offered to hold my dish, scoop my food and bring the food tray to my table. Our waitress, spoke to us as if we were friends and her smile, seemed genuine. The breakfast offerings, unfortunately, were a let down. Eggs were lukewarm, scrambled hard, boiled ham, flavorless, pancakes, spongy discs, homefries, potatoes from a can (noticeable corners were cut in many food items), continuing... mini sticky buns, crisp, hard, fruit - lacked variety, baked oatmeal, toothsome, dry, unremarkable. I plan on coming back for lunch - Wednesday, for your chicken potpie; it's so good and to be treated like family.

AVOID THIS PLACE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE RIPPED OFF…read more If I could give this place all zero stars, I would. We've come here before, and the prices were far cheaper and the food was far better. This morning, at 10:20, we came in for breakfast. We got our food and we ate for about 15 minutes talking and enjoying breakfast. By the time we went up for more food, the one section had already switched to lunch, and the other section was empty with all the food on the cart. Since the breakfast food was being taken away, we got more food but from the lunch section since that all that was left. However, our waitress came over a few minutes later and told us we would be charged for lunch prices, which is $7 more per person. We explained that we came in during breakfast and mostly had breakfast food, and the only reason we took from the lunch menu was because all the breakfast food had been taken away. The waitress tried to say that since we took lunch items that we had to be charged the lunch prices, even though she hadn't said anything when we got there. Another woman, who I'm assuming was the manager came over, told us that we would have to be charged the lunch prices. We then explained the situation again. She proceeded to tell us that the breakfast food had just been put on the carts and we could've just taken from there. EXCUSE ME? I work in a restaurant. That is totally unacceptable and unsanitary. Who goes to a buffet and takes food that is put on a cart? That's disgusting and should be reported. No wonder this place was so empty. They're charging Shady Maples prices with quality of food that wouldn't even compete against Golden Corral's. I will never come back here again and recommend to everyone that I know to do the same. This place is terrible, and so overpriced. We overpaid and left still hungry.

Who would've thought that this very plain looking restaurant attached to a grocery store would have…read moresuch savory, delicious comfort food. The inside of this place literally looks like a college dining hall but the food is like something out of a loving grandmother's kitchen. We were in the area to inquire about building something for our home at a nearby business and the business owner recommended we come here for lunch-and we were glad because it's our family's new favorite! We love it so much we came back and ate here a second time. The first time we came I had the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and broccoli. It was probably one of the best meatloafs I've ever had: tender and beefy. My son had the chicken and cheddar quesadilla with waffle fries which he loved. My husband had chicken soup and a lemon blueberry pie that was so good (he shared some with us). The second time we came my son and I hit Philly cheesesteak quesadillas and my husband got a club sandwich. Fast friendly service and the definition of comfort food. Come get some!

We enjoyed wonderfully tasty meals with friendly people in front of and behind the counters. The restaurant was clean, and -- well, there's really almost nothing to complain about. The focus is always on the food, of course. This GC buffet is big; no gripes about not enough choices. And our choices were delicious. Let's start with the veggies: mashed potatoes with hot gravy, broccoli and cauliflower with hot cheese sauce (the only way!), turnip greens, yummy cabbage, baked beans, green beans ... we ate 'em all. The fried chicken was crispy and hot (lots of breasts, our favs), the steaks cooked and sliced in front of us (not especially chewy either), the very agreeable bourbon chicken. And we haven't mentioned the salad bar with lots of fresh lettuce and toppings. The dessert bar also had lots of variety, although nothing other than chocolate everything is necessary for us. Our waiter was quick to refill glasses and clear dishes, and he had a nice sense of humor. He earned his tips. And the other waiters we observed appeared to be in good spirits as well. The dinner price was $17.59 for seniors, which seems a good price given how costly it has become to go out for a meal these days. And yes, we've written more than usual for a roadside buffet, but honestly we really like this one for the good reasons listed above.

The sauce options weren't very good and they use sliced frozen beef and chicken (similar to that of a hot pot place). The counter food was pretty bland in flavor and most of it was sitting out for long periods of time. I wasn't a fan of general tsos, the honey chicken or the fish. Most of the chicken was overcooked that was sitting out. The chicken and broccoli was the best item up on the hot bar. The soups were good as well. I enjoyed the Pork Buns and the Dim Sum as well. Cleanliness was an issue, numerous dirty soda cups and dishes. The lady working the register didn't even say hello upon entering. She just turned the card reader towards us where it read 42 dollars. She didn't say thank you, enjoy, have a nice day or anything. If you are in the Lancaster Area and looking for a buffet style restaurant, definitely check out Bird In Hand, Hershey Farms, Manor Buffet or Shady Maple.
