Do hotel buffets count? I had a 5 day stay in Greece once at a hotel with buffets for breakfast, lunch and dinner. That shit was great but I really cannot control myself around copious amounts of food

>>18365912
Pretty awesome our president even knows what a Roy Rogers restaurant is. It's based in my town. But Roy Rogers isn't a buffet. They have a fixens bar with only lettuce tomato etc for your sandwich.

So I don't know how to feel.

Oh, it's been about a week.

5 times a week for a couple years now. The one I go to costs around 7 eurodollars for some salad and mostly just regular ass food. Meat and potatoes etc.
I'm too lazy to prepare meals for work.

like 7 years, i think it was cicis, buffets are garbage

my brother and his friends used to go to some shitty chinese buffet all the time and EVERY TIME one of them would get food poisoning from it

Not since COVID killed them all.

Are they still even a thing? I just assumed COVID ran them all out of business forever.

>>18365927
How out of touch can you be?

Also >covid

Lol!

About 10 years, last time I ate so much I had to puke

there's still a sushi "buffet" in my town. but you stay seated and then bring it out to you. after each order you're done with, they take longer and longer to bring out the next order

>>18365927
this. every buffet by me has permanently closed. even the golden corral

>>18365941
Dumb choice since their are no restrictions anymore.

That is just a type of sushi place anon.

2014 i think. I lived in Utah and went to this technical school called job corps. up the street from it was a buffet and every Sunday me and the boys would wake up early hustle up there and try to put the place out of business. 5 of us all 6"ft plus eating as much as we could for as long as we could then heading back and lifting and calling that church. God i'm getting old

>>18365960
meds NOW, schizo

>>18366015
I meant buffets closing liar. All are still open and doing fine.

all buffets around me just did takeout during covid

I went to the local Chinese buffet last week with my friend, it was based as usual.

like 2 years ago, went to a $60 brunch buffet. it had all the breakfast stuff and also a ton of seafood, prime rib, etc. it was almost worth the price

>>18365912

I go to an expensive brunch buffet every Easter. It’s like $75 an adult $50 a kid — but it’s got lamb, prime rib, raw bar, etc and beautiful views of the ocean while you eat

>>18365912
went there like a month ago
Laotian friend was getting married; she invited her Laotian family and few friends (20 in total, yeah yeah yeah it's a small cheap wedding); we went to a Chinese buffet. Everyone GORGED on asian bland half-warm sloppa (nems, sushis, woks, fried shrimps, icecream fruits etc)
I'm the only one who got sick for 3 days afterwards

I was the only White guy there... I actually blame the awful French red wine

>>18365922
>our president

Outside of hotel breakfast, maybe 8 years.
Although AYCE sushi and hotpot might as well be a buffet, to which last time I was at one was over a year ago.

All the chinese buffets closed by me, not a big lose but alot of the casino buffets have also closed, they were good.

Not him, but thanks to COVID and staff shortages in every sector you can't even get Domino's to deliver a pizza from Sun~Thurs anymore

>>18365922
not my president, fuck u bitch

>>18365912
can't recall the last time, maybe 5-10 years ago. they really only exist in strip-mall suburbs where i live anymore.

>>18367088
Legit almost underweight. Reading this thread made me realize that burgers might have different idea of a buffet than what they have here. Also it's not like you have to stuff yourself full like a fat retard every time.

You just reminded me of John's Incredible Pizza. The one in my town went out of business years ago. I went there a few times for some family birthdays and it was pretty neat.

>buffet
>arcade

I want to say it's been 8 or 9 years since I went to the one that closed down. Even at that time, all of the arcades were super old, but still a bunch of goodies like Time Crisis. I'd load up on pizza and ice cream. they had a soft-serve ice cream machine, so you could always swirl your own stack. It makes sense to me that they went out of business here, was probably ruined by all the ghetto fuckers who live here, but I'm happy to see that there still are locations around. I might just visit one again.

Around 2013. It was good but I saw the Chinese owner flick a shrimp from the counter back into the tray.

Before the internet got big I used to go to cici's and get a cozy booth in a corner. I would bring a big fat sci fi book and just read and eat pizza all day. cici's was so thin and the crust sucked so you really only took two or three bites from each slice, I would just pile them up getting another plate every so often. Probably by the time I was done I had eaten at least 40-50 slices maybe more. Those were the days.

sounds comfy. at least you were there reading, too. it reminds me of a pizza hut buffet I tried to go to with coworkers a handful of times. there were these fat landwhale latinas there every single time, literally from the moment they opened their doors until presumably mid-afternoon or later. every single time they put out a pizza, they would swarm it and leave nothing for the other poor souls who were stupid enough to pay for the buffet and think they were going to get any. the lunch buffet was basically the kitchen bringing out one smallish pizza every 15 minutes, to be immediately devoured. the whole operation was clearly oriented around these black holes in human skin.

after the second time we went there, we went back a few times just to see if they'd be there (at various times). they always were.

Love me some GC it’s where the good boys go

>>18365912
I used to go to one every day and eat my one large meal a day that way and not eat any calories after buffet lunch or before buffet lunch

>>18365912
there is no reason for buffets to exist

>>18365912

Every time I eat a plate of brownies and then leave.

I went to a sushi buffet once

Big mistake

Yesterday, sushi train buffet

>>18366015
It's pretty funny they actually named it Golden Corral, as in it's a gold mine where mindless cattle are corralled and milked for profit. Sociopaths have a great sense of humor, you know.

>>18365927

nice living in a cozy state
