Can you remember visiting a buffet when you were young? It represented a vast stretch of freedom to load up your plate with whatever you wanted. When you're an adult, though, you start asking questions. Are you eating your money's worth? Did that kid really just stick his fingers in the mashed potatoes? Why is everything so sticky?
There's a good chance it's been a while since you've been to a buffet, and suspiciously sticky utensils aren't the only reason. So many people are skipping buffets that this sector of the industry is declining — more than you might think.

Can't believe that was 5 years ago.
Mods pull if too controversial.
Talk about Trump good times.
Too many obese women of color wanting Endless Shrimps?
Um…. The quality is not very high?
When I was a starving student in Atlanta we used to hit this one all-you-can-eat occasionally and back then I thought it was pretty good. One of my roommates actually overindulged to the point he stretched his stomach lol (no permanent damage). That was forty years ago and I think my taste and financial means have improved since then.
Mmmm. Endless shrimp. ;)
There is a Chinese place close to me that still does a great lunch buffet. Be prepared to eat! $15.00… which is about a Big Mac meal lol.
Eating is not a contest.
Went to an Asian Buffet a few weeks ago for lunch in the Detroit Area, $20 per adult. It was pretty good with Sushi, but still pricy. Dinner is $30.

Grew up with Lake Highlands, Furrs, and Luby’s...mmm
Hello Trump shut down the country and things have been on the decline ever since . Millions lost everything including small family restaurants .
Have you heard any apologize for putting Dem scarf lady and Dr Evil in charge .
I hope Golden Corral doesn’t croak. I usually hit that place up a few times a year.
Buffets have been dying for a while. Realistically they’re all ripoffs, tons of super cheap highly filling food. Most of it not very good, left in a steam tray to rot and pre-ferment. Even before 2020 I think Tucson was down to half a dozen. I don’t miss them.
They used to be everywhere.
Lubys, Bonanza, Golden Corrale (still going), Piccadilly, etc.
Malls usually had one.
One misses Luby’s. It was excellent.
Lizzo, Stacey Abrams and Gorlock the Destroyer have pretty much wiped them out.
They’re not good. And people are disgusting. 🤮
It is for the Lizzo-Abrams-Gorlock tag team.
I don’t eat sushi. There are medical issues involved with raw flesh of any kind:

The United States has become the country of self indulgence and obesity.........
No, alburt. OK, alburt.
We have a Sirloin Stockade still going strong in my hometown. I was there last week.
