i don't eat enough for the adult price. except at this one really great Chinese food place. they serve onion rings, ice cream, sushi, and a lot of neat stuff, and it's for the price of an entree any where else.

we don't usually do buffets because no we never eat our money's worth. last night we did go to pizza ranch but the inlaws paid so it was free for us... now we will go on occasion to ci ci's pizza because its only 15 for the 5 of us two of mine are free.

When I was pregnant yes I did b/c half way through my meal i'd have to excuse myself to run to the bathroom and have fun w/ morning sickness, now that I'm not preggers anymore no I never eat enough to make it worth it, usually just a plate maybe two if I am really hungry

No. We quit doing buffets because none of us eat what we pay.

There was a salad buffet place (not Sweet Tomatoes) near where I worked and one times I stopped in to see if I could get something 'to go' for lunch. They charged me for a single person then loaded me up with SIX large to go containers in a huge shopping bag. Not only did I have lunch, I brought home dinner!

I haven't had the courage to ask at any other buffet place since then if they have a 'to go' option, but if they do, it just might be worth it.

I have learned I just plain cannot do buffets. Eating is my drug, alcohol, vice, whatever . . .
I agree.
I definitely get my money's worth at Cici's.
For sure I can eat 1 pizza (or more) by myself, no joke

no we do not go to buffet's. i cant eat all of that and my little ones eat like miec sometimes so it would totally be a waste. now this chinese place by us has dinner for 2 for like $20 and it is enough to feed all 7 of us + some leftovers!!! it is crazy how big portion sizes are. i cant imagine if i ordered dinner for 6 or 7?? i would probably have food for 7 for a week

[quote]but honey, nobody trusts a skinny chef!" [/QUOTE



I was thinking the same thing!! I don't think I ever saw a chef that thin !!



I think Buffets are gross!! I try to avoid them- bad Memories .Because I used to work at one and people do Stuff themselves so full!!
OMG - Don't mean to be gross - But Lets just say the closing waitresses and Bus Staff had to clean the bathrooms Yucky!!!

But its not really Just Buffets - I have worked in other restaurants and People eat what they pay for No matter how much they hate it - or if they are sick or whatever.

Well if you live in Vegas there are lots of good and (if you know where to go) inexpensive buffets and places to eat.
