The Nordic Experience


Built on family…The Persson Family

Since it’s inception, the Nordic has been built on strong family ties.  The original owners immigrated from Norway and Sweden and purchased the property in 1963.  After many years of meager success, the “all you can eat” format was adopted and showed promising signs of potential.  Word quickly got out and we began hosting guests from all over the Northeast.  Today, over 60 years and 4 generations later, we graciously host guests from all over the world and you’ll find the same family running the day to day operations of the restaurant.   Feel free to ask for one of us, we’re always here! 

The Nordic Grounds

It has always been a strongly held belief of ours that a trip to The Nordic is more than just a great meal.  It is our hope that all our guests budget time before or after their meal to stroll our meticulously landscaped grounds and enjoy the flowers, stonework, and beautiful lakeside ambiance.  We even host live lakeside music for you to enjoy from June-Sept.

There is no other place like it. The grounds are well maintained as you stroll around with your favorite cocktail. Sit by a fire, admire the beautiful lake or play a yard game. Be prepared for every food you could ever want under one roof, lobster, steaks, dessert, bar… The owners and their staff go above and beyond to make your visit like no other… We have been going for over 25 years.

“This place sets the bar for all you can eat buffets. If you’re a seafood fan, this is the place to go. The prime rib section was fantastic, the dessert bar was fantastic. I loved the outdoor area with all the hammocks. We definitely needed the hammock when I was done eating four plates of food.”
