Damn that was a lot of food she didn’t eat
-
buffets should put a rule you pay for what you didn't finish eating
-
Never let this girl document an experience again
-
They forgot to show the most important job here. The plumber.
-
"Can I get an omelette with everything on it..." Proceeds to not eat it
-
As someone who trained in large scale industrial catering i have nothing but respect for the staff of this place. The logistic of running this kind of operation daily is breathtaking.
-
I went to a local Italian buffet in NJ on a business trip once. It looked like it was in someone's house. There was a sign that said "Take all you can eat, but remember that wasting food is a sin." It was hanging on the wall next to a picture of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
-
My sweet Uncle raved about this place and was a happy customer until the age of 90 years. He lived in Delaware and eventually needed someone to drive him to his Shady Maple but with my uncle it was joyful and a party every time for everyone!
-
She's the reason why buffets closed or ran out of business. What a waste.
-
Hope the camera crew got to eat too, and not waste all the food she got.
-
They definitely should have used someone with a better more refined pallet for this documentary. This chick has the pallet of a 12 year old. All she really liked was the Fried chicken and mash potatoes. The pulled pork and 14 hour slow smoked brisket to her was just on a level of "Ehh it was Decent." Should have gotten a true food lover to do this documentary.

I am American. I love the all you can eat buffet BUT I only take a small portion (maybe two bites) of everything that takes my fancy, eat everything I took, and go back for refills of what I do like. I don't throw food away. I haven't been to a buffet in 4 years. I miss it in a way but no plans to find the nearest buffet. It stresses me out to see and think about so. much. waste.

Abby: "Just one" Employee: "Just one today?" Cameraperson: 👁️ 👄 👁️ 💀
-
Of all things, it killed me that she used the Exit Only door to enter.
-
“How long can I stay?” Long enough for you to finish what you put on your plates.
-
She’s one of those people who only fine dine. By the amount of food she grabbed vs. how much she actually ate is mind boggling.
-
$17 is insanely cheap for that much food. You pay that for a McDonalds value meal these days.
-
Just checked and I'm a hour from here. I'm going in the morning. As a single father with 3 teenage boys I needs this!!!😂
-
My mother started an all you can eat restaurant in 1970. It was kind of new at the time and it was $2.50. People loved it and we had many regulars. Many people said their favorite was the salad bar, all homemade. She always had three meats, and being a southern Ohio girl fried chicken was always one of them. I think she was ahead of her time.

I live right down the road from here....the biggest reason why I eat and trust shady Maple is because they have a pretty clean buffet. Go to any other buffet and there's all kinds of nasty things you'll find. Shady is constantly bringing out new hot and fresh food too. They do a good job of keeping clean and being the largest in the USA helps.
