I love a good buffet, but a person tends to over eat at them, and I really have to watch my salt intake. So the first thing I do is ask if they use mso, and if they do I will only eat salads (greens and fresh) the chinaise  places use a lot of mso in theirs.  I usually make a plate of salad and then have my veggies and entrée. skip desserts.

You think Golden Corral is a bit pricey? Where do you usually eat out?

I love a good buffet. I usually skip a meal on the days I go because I know I'll end up eating enough for two meals

I love buffets!  The problem is that I always try and eat my money's worth which leaves me useless for about two days!  I was in Florida last weekend, getting ready to watch the Super Bowl with my son, and the bar/restaurant said that the were running a special in one of the upstairs party rooms: All you can eat Alaskan Snow Crab Legs, Buffalo Wings, Sliders, Peel and Eat shrimp, Fajitas, Beer and soda for thirty five dollars a person. I think that my son and I managed to eat fifteen pounds of crab legs, two sliders, four buffalo wings, a dozen peel and eat shrimp and I had about eight beers (we were staying at the hotel next door)...I would say that we got our money's worth.

I like to go to buffet restaurants, but I haven't been in a while. One of my my favorites is about 25-30 minutes away, so I don't get to go that often. It's still worth it though.

Depends on what kind of buffet. I love chinese buffets, i think golden corral is terrible. sorry. We dont go to buffets anymore though with all the stuff i have read about how nasty they truly are, and how unsafe they are! But i used to like them, then I read the articles. Now when we go out to eat, we just go somewhere that doesnt have a buffet.

My favorite places to eat are buffets. I get exactly what I want, nothing I don't and as much or as little as I like. Sometimes I'll go to Golden Corrall (one of my favorites) and I'll have pot roast, baked potato with lashings of butter, brussel sprouts and sweetcorn. Then I'll have some dessert, and then I'll move back to an entre such as sausage and liver! The rules are great (in that there are no rules). And now, you even get to take home a 6 pack of freshly baked roles (assuming you have purchased the two adult dinners. Sweet.

I liked buffets ever since I was little. I always liked the option of choosing what I want to eat, but I seem to never learn my lesson to watch how much I eat. Luckily I don't go too often or I will really be overweight.

Used to go to several Asian buffets... Some great teriyaki food, bbq, fried, and meh seafood... Sushi bar has a lot of variety in fish, not just california or crab meat... Thinking of going to a Korean buffet, but not sure since it's expensive... The only thing I like about American buffet (hometown) is that it has some variety unlike others which only serve the same stuff

I was a big buffet eater back in the 90's but not so much anymore.

I just can't eat that fast and I really don't get my money's worth. The only time I look forward to going to buffets is either when I'm in Vegas or I'm in an Native American casino - their buffets are pretty good. :)

I love to go to a buffet, it allows me to "sample" a bit of this and that from everything offered.  My favorites are Chinese buffets and Golden Corral.  Its an affordable way to try new foods or new styles of foods, and you can definitely get your money's worth~

I don't know about other places but in California they have glass shields that keep you from spitting on the food.  I have 3 people in my family that were asked to leave  buffets, because they ate so much.  LOL.  They were a rib  and shrimp places.  So when I take the boys they always get the whole families monies worth!  They are both now professional athletes, so even though they eat like that they are still trim.  We don't go that often, but it is fun once in a while.

Used to love them, especially as a poor hungry college student! Now, they gross me out. Was in one recently and watched how nasty people are, despite the sneeze guards. I stopped eating and haven't been back since. There is too much sickness going around and I can't believe how many sick people go to a buffet, or let their kids put their hands in the food, etc. Blah!!

We also enjoy a good breakfast buffet. I we eat late enough we will not need lunch.

Buffet to me is more like an incentive for a long week or month of hard work and you need to treat yourself every once in a while. I do like buffet but the only one I have in town are the Chinese ones. Sometimes they are good when you don't go there often. Tired of eating the same stuff. I need some more varieties. LOL
