I've always liked buffets. Although I had lots of exposure to all-you-can eat salad bars growing up, I didn't really hit many bona fide buffets until I went to college. I've eaten in something on the order of 100 different campuses over time and I freely...

Pros: Reasonable Prices, Variety, some tasty items
Cons: Lines, Small glasses, some nasty items

If you are going to a buffet, it would be wise to get instructions. Does this sound ridiculous? I think it is, but the company's website(www.buffets.com) has a step by step guide. So, are we getting so lazy that we actually require these instructions to ...

Pros: Fast Homestyle Food
Cons: Waitstaff did not seem to be clearing plates.

When I looked this restaurant up on the database, I found it listed only in California. I think it's time for Epinions to update the database. People in other parts of our great country eat out occasionally, too. I find the total disregard of any...

Pros: Good variety, there are some healthy options available, some items very flavorful
Cons: Ice cream was soup, inconsistent food quality and some things were cold

Cons: Crazy servers and low paid employees that could be maniacs - stinky carpet

Let me tell you, this Old Country Buffet is sure well worth the money. I pay just $6.75 for dinner because I’m a senior citizen. I pay only $3.40 for my 10-year old grandson. I tell the cashier that he is only 7-years of age and that saves me a ...

Pros: They understand what foods hold up best under heat lamps.
Cons: They serve the kind of food that holds up well under heat lamps.

Back when I was in the habit of staying up all night playing poker in college, my friends and I came to think of 4:30 a.m. as the point of no return. If you were at all tired before that time, then it was in your interest to go to sleep. But if, at...

Growing up, my best friends grandfather took us to OCB every other Sunday after a major shopping trip! We just loved being able to eat what we wanted, and getting to pick and choose out menu's without having to wait on them to prepare it!

So...

Cons: Individualism is lost here, we are all cattle being herded to the troughs.

Cons: mashed potatoes - and can get crowded at times.

The Old Country Buffet is a nice, quaint eating establishment. The word buffet says it all though - you serve yourself. Unlike some other buffets where a waiter/waitress may serve your drinks to you - you serve yourself here as well. The wait staff...
