hmm, it depends on my mood but i love a good buffet.
its usually a better value for the amount of food you get.

...i've known people with serious phobias of buffets though.
they don't know what they're missing out on :(

Buffets are definately a better value but I think that causes many of us to overeat!!!

Every time I go to a buffet, I just think about all the people that were there before me doing who knows what to the food I'm about to eat!  LOL!!  Even just a sneeze or a cough-it's gross!!  Some buffets are better taken care of, though, so those I don't mind quite as much.  Still-YUCK!  (Plus it gives you the ability to WAY overeat!)

I prefer the buffets because of the get what you want and all yiou can eat features. Also, you don't have to wait for your food. The downside are those which have no sneeze-guards or appear dirty. I avoid these.

We do both buffets and sit down full service resturants, but I prefer the full service. The buffets around here are getting way too expensive and the food is not always fresh. Plus with the buffets we usually eat so much we are miserable for hours afterwards because we over eat. I have tried to do more cooking at home and we seem to feel better. We know who has handled the food and all the processes it has gone through. We are not health buffs, but we do need to be more conscious of what we eat for our health and weight.

Cici's Pizza Buffet is by far the best pizza for me.  For about $17, my husband, my son and myself can have all the Pizza, Pasta, Salad Bar, Dessert and Drink we would like and it's GooOoOoOd food too, not like some other buffets I've visited.  There aren't many around, but if you can find one and like pizza, try it ... my 2 favorites there - Pepperoni Flip and Deep Dish Zesty Pepperoni!

(Oh, best thing about this place, included in your buffet, if you would like a special order pizza, just walk up to the counter and ask for one.  They take it right to your table in 5 minutes!!)

I prefer a sit-down restaurant because I like to get a glass of wine with my meal. Most buffets near me are all family-style home cooking...ok if that's what you like...but I like spicy foods and food cooked to order. :wave:

Buffets are usually a waste of money for me, since for about the price of a standard meal, it's 'all you can eat'. Well, I can't even finish a standard meal - I'm guaranteed to have about 1/2 of my meal wrapped and taken home! It'd be nice if buffets let you take some home, but of course that'd end up with everyone taking food home, and they'd lose money.

 :thumbsup:I also like cici's pizza. I like sit down and buffet.  i gues it just depends on the night and the financial situation.   :wave:

Yeah, of course we enjoy once in a while a nice sit down dinner, my husband and myself, when our son is with relatives.  Nice glass of wine, quite elegant dinner ... but with financial situations the way they are, if i don't cook at home, Cici's is filling and yummy for the entire family hehe =D

I only like some buffets that, like others said, aren't too dirty.
cicis, sweet tomatoes, etc. :)

I like them both, but I think I prefer the buffet so that I can have a variety of things at one time.

Sit downs! I dont eat as much & it is a nice way to get to have a conversation (buffets always seem too loud!)

I definitely think buffet is the way to go if you're on a budget.  It's a good way to get a good variety of food (and quite a bit of it!) at a reasonable price.

But if you're less concerned about how much you're spending, and more interested in service and higher quality fare, sit-down's the way to go!

Usually a sit down but a buffet is nice if your in more of a hurry and want a greater selection.

I love a good buffet! Vegas have the best buffet restaurants! It's definitely worth spending the money. Sit downs can be so limited.

I like buffets-not because I eat alot but because you have more options. you can customize your meal to what you want to eat. my kids like it too cause they can get exactly what they want and dont have to choose. they can have a little of everything they like.
my fav is a place called SHADY MAPLE in blue ball, pa
it is awesome. its run by amish people and they food is the best. they do brkfast lunch and dinner buffets. each night of the week features a different special for dinner buffet. its great try it if you are in pa.

I like buffet's because there is a bunch of different foods to choose from, but I don't eat enough to warrent paying the price at a buffet, so I usually do the sit down dinner.

Not to be rude, just my personal opinion, but I think buffets are pretty gross usually. Dirty and even the "nice" ones don't have very good food. Yes you may save a few bucks, but I'd rather just eat at home or get fast food in that case. If I'm going to eat out, I'll go to a normal sit down restaurant.

Unfortunately the buffet style restaurants where I live are pretty gross.  The one we did like went out of business when they opened a Golden Coral near by.   :BangHead:  Golden Coral is gross.

Yeah Buffets around here are usually gross around here too. Too many kids and older slow-chooser people built around cheap food. Bleh.

I used to go to buffets and restaurants.
But now I really care about my calorie-intake so I don't go to those anymore. P: Buffets were really fun though.

Hmmm both good choices. Depends on my mood really. Some ways buffet is better you can get what you want even if it is ice cream and chicken and tacos. But it still doesn't have the same flair of sitting at a very nice restaurant. Price ways the buffet atmosphere way restaurant  :thumbsup:
