Do you like buffet restaurants? Why or why not?

[Lucy68]

And if so what's your favorite one. For me personally I prefer the pizza buffets cause not only do I love pizza but there's the variety (obsessed with macaroni and cheese pizza and taco pizza). I also love going to Chinese buffets cause they also serve crab legs which are my favorite and sushi. And I also love going to southern buffets, and I am guilty of eating both macaroni and cheese and mashed potatoes and gravy, I know too much starch but I'm getting my money's worth 😅😋. I'm also a fan of the salad bars at buffets (especially the ones at both pizza and southern buffets) and I'll always get a salad.

I used to. South Korea has this American restaurant chain modeled after Gone From The Wind called Ashley Queens. It's a fully American restaurant with only a few Korean dishes. About $25 a person. It's very popular here, but like most buffet restaurants, the food is mediocre at best. I've only gone three times, and they were like six months apart from each other, and the second time, it was a different chain, cause I thought the first one just sucked. But no; they all taste the same.

I don't think I eat there

The Pizza Hut I used to work at served buffets for lunch and it was the most amazing experience even though I went to their buffet one or two times. I visited mandarin buffet a lot but once I discovered sushi buffets, I no longer cared about the other options unless it was a Chinese buffet but the types I like do not exist where I live, they serve European food for their meat and I don't go to a buffet to eat European food.

[Lucy68]

Now I'm hungry 😅

[Jamie05rhs]

@jennifer_bloom What kind of meat do you like?

[jennifer_bloom]

@Jamie05rhs I like beef crumbs

[Jamie05rhs]

@jennifer_bloom Ground beef?

[jennifer_bloom]

@Jamie05rhs I like ground beef too

[Jamie05rhs]

Cool

[BlueScorpio]

Yes cause you have many options but then I feel bad cause I know I'm not going to be able to eat a lot. I can only do about 1 and half plate of food while my husband can eat about 3 or mire depending how hungry he is. Ladies don't let your man go to the buffet after he came from the gym... he will eat like he's never eaten before lol

[NathanDavis]

I really like the idea of buffets...

but I just cannot get myself to go to one lmao

dozens of people handling and touching, messing with the food that I would eat... that's just a nightmare for me to even think about... that's too much for my mild germophobia and OCD tendencies

[Msputiton]

Oml. The booger hugs my twin gives you makes so much sense now

[NathanDavis]

@Msputiton see... she's the mean one, lol

[Msputiton]

Nooo she's my twin. She's just complicated😕

[Sour-rose]

Yup. Means I can eat as much as I can (hopefully not pizza because cheese fills me quickly. And i may have to pay for it later... in the bathroom.) and won't have to worry about eating until morning or so

[Apple1996]

Nah they gross me out too much so I just can't. I won't even eat out for full meals anymore. I'll go places for little snacks/drinks but save the real meals for at home where I know for sure is clean.

[Jamie05rhs]

I am sad that a lot of the Cici's locations closed. Even though their pizza wasn't exactly that great. I still enjoyed it.

Pizza Hut was always and will always be the best pizza buffet, though!

[Lucy68]

I loved Pizza Hut buffets when I was a little kid. That's when they had the salad bar, variety of pizza, and they had the mini arcade. Childhood memories

[Jamie05rhs]

@Lucy68 Yes!! 🤩

[ArrowheadSW]

I like them but I normally don't go to them. Too much food to eat in one meal! LOL.. When I go to Las Vegas, I go to them, but I don't go to Las Vegas all that often.

[JPresidente]

I like the breakfast ones as there used to be one in my town that had a breakfast buffet but I think they got run out of business because people came back for too many helpings. Pizza ones are pretty good too but usually the pizza is average.

[Andres77]

No. People are gross and disgusting and never wash their hands after using the bathroom and touch the food directly. 🤮

[smahala1991]

I love buffets, but some are way cleaner than others. I used to work for one that opened way back in the 70s, unfortunately, the managers had been there for many years and never really modernized.

[FreyaRed]

No. I consider buffets as unhygienic, especially cold buffet counters in third world holiday resorts.

[DaisyM23]

yeah, my family and I always used to go to this Asian buffet but buffets in general are very unhygienic so that stopped after covid

[leighbee]

I used to. They were great for binges and then covid hot. I realised how nasty they were. I am in recovery for my eating disorder now. Before I used to eat plates after plates after plates. Then throw it up and repet. I don't miss those days.

[20yearsolder]

I do, and then I see adults and children handling utensils improperly and that's a big turnoff

[Pudsmucker]

I love buffet dinners. You can go there when you're hungry and eat your fill. But I've also learned be too much you gain a little weight. So as I've gotten older I've stopped eating at the the face.

[USLegionary]

If its busy the food is good, don't go an hour before closing

[SnowedIn]

They are okay. It really depends on the quality of the food.

[Agape93]

Nope. Food is bland, and people keep touching everything and coughing on everything.

[jamesgoldman]

Yeah they can be great, like a breakfast buffet personally

[bowenw]

I like the idea of them, but the food is not always replenished or warm.

[TroyDT2]

No. No idea whose unwashed hands have been in there.

[AimeeKyle]

I used to but I cannot eat the quantity of food that I used to…. So now I prefer higher quality, less volume.
