    Im a sucker for a buffet, especially with good selections and good quality. This one had a nice variety of options and its spread out in a way that makes it not feel too crowded. The service was very good and everyone working was friendly. The food was good, though nothing amazed me except for the chocolate pecan pie (definitely get some of that!!!)

    A great meal at Miller's Smorgasbord! Tons of choices, everything was fresh and tasty, and there's definitely something for everyone. The selection is huge, the food is consistently good, and you definitely won't leave hungry. A Lancaster favorite for a reason! Definitely worth a visit when you're in the area. Restaurant clean, bathrooms immaculate, service was efficient, drinks kept full dirty dishes quickly removed...

    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. There were quite a few flies by our table which wasn't my favorite but we still enjoyed our lunch.

    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! 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. 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. Note: be sure to take a souvenir tourist pic in the old car in the lobby.

    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)

    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.

    What a pleasant experience! Came here with a party of 5 I highly recommended reservations. I can't say that there was anything I didn't enjoy, everything was scrumptious. Even with the restaurant closing at 8pm the buffet was filled with fresh hot food. Our waitress did an awesome job as soon as you were finished the dirty plate was gone. Millers also offers a full range of Beer, Wine and Cocktail Menu. I highly recommend the margarita flight.

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

    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.

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. I recommend this for a nice evening out without kids. Very nice place to eat with good food.

I went with the pork chops which came with their seasonal starch and vegetable which was potatoes and zucchini. The pork chop was super flavorful and cooked to perfection. The bacon jam had a sweet and salty vibe which only added to the flavor of the dish. I ordered a ginger and pear mocktail - refreshing. Their drinks looked amazing but I refrained from alcohol for the night , but they were definitely tempting. My mom loved her apricot salmon and had the same sides.

It was covered in melted cheese - yum! We got dessert because of course we had to- all made in house and gluten free. I got the creme brûlée which was hands down the best creme brûlée I've ever had. You could see the vanilla bean flecks and it had a hint of saltiness which balanced out the creamy texture and sweetness nicely. My mom got the carrot cake which was multi layered and came with candied walnuts and caramel sauce. Our waiter was so unbelievably kind and attentive and personable. The restaurant had what appeared to be 3 main rooms. The bar looked gorgeous, we sat in one of the dining rooms which was simply decorated and a bit moody.

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.

    Love this place! I went in on a Monday afternoon and it was so quiet and such a cool spot to hang…read moreout. I tried the backyard BBQ panini. So Good! And the best part? It was made with homemade bread! the service was excellent and my order came out promptly. will definitely be back!
