I've never eaten from the chocolate waterfall and I don't eat cotton candy. Hope they have fun, though. To be honest, it's probably just as much germs in the restaurants with all of the 'Chefs' running around reaching and sweating all over your food just to have it to you on time. surviving on the thought of loving you, it's just like the water
I ain't felt this way in years... | |

Oh and now they have cotton candy, I guess the circus is now complete.
Every time I see an ad for that place, I 'bout near hurl. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

No, no such thing as a good buffet. I do not eat buffet/potluck - no way to know what's in the food (i.e. if there's meat in a seemingly vegetarian dish) and many people clearly have no grasp on proper food handling techniques. Potlucks skeeve me out.
Today for lunch I went to my usual corner place to get a salad -- it's the type of place where they have all the toppings displayed in separate containers and you just tell them what you want added to the lettuce, then they toss it, chop it (if you want), and dress it for you. The two morons in front of me were draping their arms over the sneeze guard, trying to point to every topping they wanted. Hey dumbass: if there is a plexiglass partition separating you from food and it's just a little too high so it's awkward for you to put your arm over it, maybe there's a reason for that! The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |

The Chinese restaurants down here used to be very good in the 1970s and early 1980s but when they started the buffets in the late 1980s, that's when it all went downhill. The buffets started out very good but they would have a little small section with maybe two or three American items such as fried chicken legs, etc. which was mainly for the few kids who didn't eat Chinese food and were in the restaurant with their parents.
The problem is, when the rednecks and ghetto heffers who didn't even like Chinese food in the first place, heard that it was all you can eat, they started flocking to the buffets and eating the hell out of the American food that was for the kids. Then, the Chinese dishes started tasting less and less like Chinese food and more and more like American food. I was in one buffet and there was a Chinese dish that is made with cabbage and I took a bite and it had been seasoned with bacon. It was delicious but hell, I didn't come to the Chinese restaurant to eat soul food. And their wings weren't even in Chinese sauce that they cook them in. They were in buffalo hot sauce. I thought I was in Domino's pizza ordering wings. I was in another place and saw macaroni and cheese on the buffet and I walked out immediately before the woman even brought my tea to the table. . . .

Las Vegas had some EXCELLENT buffets in its casinos/hotels.
The Rio had one that I was impressed with. The food wasn't like dining at the Avolon or anything, but it was quite good.
As far as in the South East, of course there aren't any good seafood buffets. You're shit out of luck. | |

Is this Sweet Tomato? I love that place! CarrieMpls said: There’s a salad bar/buffet here that is me and the boyfriend’s go-to spot. It’s about $11-ish per person so it’s cheap (for dinner-dining out).
The fresh veggies are awesome. The salad bar part is always well-stocked and fresh.
They have decent baked goods and they always have a vegetarian soup (and their soups are yummy).
They have a small hot bar that’s admittedly average but I almost never eat from it. It usually has stuff for tacos, baked potato bar, pasta and sauces and some sort of meat and hot veggie offering.
They have freshly baked cookies, fruit and a soft serve ice cream machine with a bar of various toppings for dessert. I usually make a small hot fudge sundae.
I’m normally not much for buffets, but for some reason we just love this place. Hello! | |

I haven't been to a buffet (Chinese or american) in ages, but they're ok in my book. Sure you can say how nasty everything is and complain about sanitation, but its ALL YOU CAN AT for 10 bucks. You can't beat that lol. And most (if not all) buffets have those plastic shields and its against the rules to bring up your old plate to get more food. Every time I got to an American buffet I ALWAYS get fried chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans and Mac&cheese. Rarely do I ever get anything else. At Chinese buffets I always get sweet and sour chicken and crab rangoon. At seafood buffets there's only one food I'm interested in and that's FRIED SHRIMP. Damn I'm hungry.  Buffets are awesome! | |

I lived near Myrtle Beach most of my life. I suggest you go to Murrell's Inlet. It's not far. Better seafood restaurants and cheaper. "Let love be your perfect weapon..." ~~Andy Biersack | |

They advertise that place here, but there isn't one here. There's Hometown Buffet, maybe they're the same
There are a few Chinese buffets that I've been to randomly, but I've noticed I'm starting to get headaches after eating there, don't know if I'm getting MSG sensitive or not, or whether they even use MSG. [Edited 7/19/12 17:18pm] | |

I think there are some folks who are into sanitation to the extreme so much that it's almost like a fetish with them. I mean, just this past weekend, I was standing at a public urinal at work and there was this man a few urinals down. Now, those custodians had that restroom very clean. I know because I had told them to check the restrooms since we had a crowd in the building and I saw them cleaning it myself. Anyway, I'm standing there pissing and from the sound coming from a few urinals down, it sounded like the man was doing something physical over there. I turned my head to the side and the fool had raised his leg up and flushed it with his foot of all things. Andy is a four letter word. | |

Okay that's a damn shame. No telling what his ass was walking in. He's making it dirtier with his feet. | |
