RONKS, PA - Cruising through the heart of Pennsylvania Amish Country, Miller's Smorgasbord at 2811 Lincoln Hwy E, Ronks, PA 17572 stands as a genuine culinary landmark. Operating as Lancaster County's original buffet, this sprawling, homey eatery traces its roots back to 1929, when founder Anna Miller began serving simple chicken-and-waffle dinners to truckers while her husband repaired their rigs.
As you enter the restaurant today, you are immediately greeted by historical memorabilia—a very interesting touch that honors how a modest roadside stop grew into a massive dining compound. Despite the restaurant's sheer scale, the dining rooms maintain exceptionally clean facilities, a warm Pennsylvania Dutch atmosphere, and the much-appreciated convenience of making reservations.
Endless PA Dutch Classics and Amazing Dessert Choices
When it comes to the food, Miller's is a huge place with a huge selection of Pennsylvania Dutch fare. Their culinary philosophy remains unchanged: serve real, good food prepared from scratch using fresh ingredients. You will not leave hungry, because you will indeed find things that you love across the endless buffet lines.
- The Savory Highlights: The hot bars feature comfort-food royalty, from golden fried chicken and tender carved roast beef to scratch-made chicken pot pie and traditional Lancaster County sides.
- The Dessert Spread: Save plenty of room, because the dessert choices are amazing. Highlights include warm Pennsylvania Dutch shoofly pie, their famous chocolate pecan pie, bread pudding, and an assortment of freshly baked goods from Miller's Bakery.
Standout Hospitality, The Shops, and Navigating Lincoln Highway Traffic
Handling a high-volume buffet room requires a dedicated front-of-house team, and the service during our visit was top-tier. The person who attended to our table, Alyssa, was very good—with a smile on her face at all times, she provided friendly and prompt service while remaining very professional throughout our meal.
If you arrive during peak dining hours and have to wait for a table, the property makes it easy by using a compound-wide paging system so you can browse The Shops at Miller's—including Anna's Gifts & Sundries, The Quilt Shop at Miller's, and the Locally Made Food Shop—until your name is called.
