Title says it all... we have a fast food thread, I wouldn't consider Restaurants with Buffets fast food...

Around here it for me it's a tie between Furr's Cafeteria and a Chinese food place, The Dragon...

Hometown Buffet here in OKC is good, but only on Sunday afternoon when they bring out the roast beef and ham.

We have a restaurant called Country Buffet, I only eat breakfast there, I'm not a big buffet fan.

OTOH....when I was in Wendover Nevada, they had a $8.95 prime rib buffet, that was great.

I've always enjoyed the Ponderosa all you can eat buffet. Rather basic, but I like it.

But way better than that is Sokolowski's University Inn, although it is really cafeteria style (don't know how you're defining "buffet").

Cafeteria is fine... :) no Breakfast Buffets around here since the Golden Corral shutdown a few years back (The Dragon occupies that building now...)

I have to vote for Fire Mountain.

It was sooooo good, there was more food to choose then I could possibly eat.:hungry::hungry::hungry:

Since the title reads "Best Buffet" and not "Cheapest Feed Bag", my vote is for the Riverside Café at the local Gaylord Convention Center. Weekend bruch is 22 bucks, which includes a gourmet lunch bar..breakfast bar...desert bar...salad/fruit bar...and beverages. While there is nothing wrong with the local feed bags, there is simply no comparing the two...22 bucks to roll-out after feasting on multiple gourmet entrees, sides and deserts is a bargain. I'll post a link if I can off of my PocketPC.

Brasa Grill Steakhouse (http://www.brasagrillsteakhouse.com/index.php)

An awesome Brazilian Steakhouse (all you can eat meat carved at your table) with a full buffet of "sides." Pretty expensive ($35), but well worth it for those with big appetites.

When we go on vacation to the Outer Banks in NC, we usually go to Jimmy's Seafood Buffet.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm Brazilian Steakhouse.... Good times!

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm Brazilian Steakhouse.... Good times!I second that motion... too bad the nearest one is 400 miles away or so... ;)

Old Country Buffet

but when I go to the lake cabin, Grand Casino Mille Lacs buffet is the friggin bomb! Sure Mystic Lake Casino is 5 minutes from my house but I'll wait to go to Grand Casino. One of the best buffets for like 8 bucks (Mistake Lake is 11)

Gotta love them Indian Casinos (thats all we got here in MN)

There are no good buffets in the area. :(

In Elk Grove Village, IL...a suburb just NW of Chicago, there is a small catering outfit on Devon near Wooddale Road, and you pretty much would never know it was even there unless you were looking for it. (there's a Salt Creek BBQ and King Taco in the same area) Anyways, this place would publish a menu every monday, and have a buffet consisting of two entrees, and all your sides and dessert. It was open only for lunch, and you pay a small fee to enter a modest dining room, and its all you can eat from there. They had something different every day and the food was incredible. I mean, this was in no way a huge smorgabord like you get at old country buffet or the like, it was just as if they were catering somebody's personal affair, and you were just paying to join in.

either way, I just thought the whole concept was great. They pretty much were just hosting a 'public tasting' to promote their catering business that from what I could tell, it became a little bit of a lucritive side business in its own right....Its been a while since I've been out that way, I sure hope its still there...

forgot to mention Bonanza (Ponderosa)...only 2 in MN so I have driven 1hr 15 min to go there...yummy :)

Stancato's in Parma, OH.

Italian Buffet...

Stancato's Dining, Italian Restaurant, Catering, Banquets, at Stancato's Restaurant Cleveland - Ohio (http://www.stancatos.com/)

Ryan's Steakhouse went out of business here, so we have a few Chinese buffets and maybe 2 other buffets. Golden Corral or a chinese restaurant called King Buffet here are probably my favorite and best buffets I've been to. I like Ponderosa, but their variety compared to other places isn't as great. KFC's buffet is good when you actually win that rare game of freshness Russian Roulette. LOL

Sounds like a take off of Fogo de Chão

I love these places but although they are AYCE, I don't see them as buffets, which are AYCE where you serve yourself.

For American: Old Country Buffet

For Chinese: Grand Buffet

For Sushi: Todai

For Mexican: mi Pueblo

As if Fogo de Chão invented the Churrascaria. ;)
