PA buffets ranked among top 3 in U.S.
CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA (WHTM) — USA Today says that two Central Pennsylvania buffets were selected as the best buffet restaurants in the United States.
USA Today recently shared the 10 best buffet restaurants in the United States as part of their Reader Choice 2024 awards.
According to USA Today, these buffets were selected by an expert panel and then voted on by their readers. Once the votes were tallied, two Central Pennsylvania buffets were selected as being some of the best in the country.
The number 3 spot was awarded to the Lancaster County-based Miller’s Smorgasbord, which is located at 2811 Lincoln Highway in East Ronks, PA.
According to their website, this popular buffet was first founded back in 1929. The family-owned establishment is most known for offering hearty home-cooked meals, and a wide variety of dishes daily.
“Miller’s Smorgasbord is a warm and homey restaurant in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania,” USA Today said. “It offers a soup and salad buffet in addition to its popular traditional smorgasbord buffet. Options on the latter include Swedish meatballs, Lancaster County chicken corn soup, chicken and waffles, baked ham with cider sauce, and Pennsylvania Dutch shoofly pie.”

USA Today then awarded the number 1 slot to the beloved Shady Maple Smorgasbord, which is located at 129 Toddy Drive in East Earl, Pa.
According to their website, the business first started as a farmers market before opening their “all you can eat” smorgasbord in 1985. The buffet is capable of seating 1,200 people at a time and currently employs more than 750 people.
“Shady Maple Smorgasbord, claiming to be “the largest buffet in America,” serves delectable Pennsylvania Dutch dishes in East Earl, Pennsylvania,” USA Today shared. “The well-prepared comfort food is offered on a 200-foot-long smorgasbord, and the space is designed to offer a cafeteria-style ambiance. A gift shop is open to visitors, and their birthday specials are popular.”

DOYLESTOWN BOROUGH, PA — A major downtown street will be repaved under a resurfacing contract awarded this week by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT).
Borough officials, who have lobbied for years to have East and West State Street resurfaced, announced the news on Wednesday via its Facebook page.
When the project happens later this year, the work will be fully paid for under a major $8.3 million project bid award by PennDOT to repave 16 miles of state highways in Bucks County.
This marks the first time that State Street will be resurfaced since the 1990s, said borough officials, who credited an organized lobbying effort by local leadership and the community for pushing the project forward.
In its Facebook posting, the borough thanked State Sen. Steve Santarsiero, State Rep. Tim Brennan, Borough Council, Mayor Noni West, residents and business owners who brought the street’s condition to PennDOT’s attention.
State Street runs through the heart of the borough and serves as a heavily used business, tourism, and residential corridor for the town. It is home to the County Theater, a popular local and regional tourist attraction, the historic Doylestown Inn, and many other businesses.
More detailed timing and work plans are expected once the state finalizes its construction schedule.
One person is dead, and two others were taken to the hospital after a crash involving multiple vehicles in Bensalem, Pennsylvania, Tuesday afternoon, police said.
The crash happened around 4:45 p.m. at East Bristol Road and Brownsville roads, police said.
Police said a person driving a Toyota RAV4 was involved in a domestic-related incident in Lower Southampton Township before the crash.
The person driving the Toyota RAV4 was traveling eastbound at a high rate of speed, crossed into oncoming traffic and struck another vehicle while attempting to pass a Hyundai Kona, according to police.
The Toyota then became airborne, struck a Honda SUV and a Ford pickup truck and rolled over. The driver of the Toyota died in the crash, police said.
The driver of the Hyundai Kona left the road and came to a rest after striking a fence on Bristol Road, according to police.
It’s unclear if any drugs or alcohol were factors in the crash, police said.
Anyone with information about the crash is asked to contact Bensalem police.
