Buffets are one of life's guilty pleasures. You can enjoy a meal eating exactly what you want and only what you want. No one will criticize you for leaving vegetables off your plate or steering clear of the salad bar to indulge in the dessert station multiple times. In Rhode Island, there is an all-you-can-eat seafood buffet where you can graze on lobster and crab legs until your stomach is content. But this spot doesn't just feature seafood, you'll also find prime rib, filet mignon, fresh fruit, and more sides and desserts than you can shake a stick at!
The next time you're feeling really hungry head to the Nordic Lodge in Charlestown. This lakeside restaurant is a summer dining destination unlike any other in Rhode Island.
The rustic lodge is a comfortable space where you can fill your plate, again and again, satisfying all of your food cravings.
The buffet offers more than 100 different choices. If you like to try new cuisine, this is the perfect place to do some tasting.
The mound of freshly steamed lobsters is immediately eye-catching.
Other stellar seafood choices include local oysters, scallops, Alaskan King crab legs, stuffed shrimp, steamed littlenecks, and more!
Meat lovers can grab from the grill with a top-notch selection of prime rib, filet mignon, bbq ribs, and teriyaki tenderloin tips.
The selection of seafood salads is unrivaled. You could make a meal out of just the sides. Baked potatoes, corn on the cob, seafood stuffed mushrooms... the list goes on and on.
Pile up your plate as much as you like. The Nordic Lodge is a judgment-free zone when it comes to portions.
Don't forget to save room for something sweet! The dessert buffet stretches out endlessly with cakes, pies, brownies, bars, and even an ice cream station.
After you have your fill of this amazing buffet, step outside and soak in the scenery. Take a spot around the firepit or even in a hammock near the lake.
The Nordic Lodge seats visitors from April 26th - December 14th, Friday - Saturday from 5 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. and Sunday from 2 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. (the buffet stays open after the last seating). Pricing for the seafood buffet varies with age, visit their website for more information.
