    Boco Buffets, aka The Golden Corral is awesome.

    Hey, the Golden Corral IS awesome. I went there for the first time a couple of months back; I had to go to a trade show for work and afterwards we decided to stop there. It was amazing. Everything I wanted for about ten bucks. I had two full platefuls of food and then I had a huge heaping bowl of ice cream with all the toppings. It was glorious.

    You know what else is awesome? Chinese food buffets. I went to one recently and they had these sesame seed ball things and they were amazing.

    So yes. Let's discuss buffets!

    A place called Super Crazy Buffet just opened up in my area and I want to try it. Supposedly it's mostly different kinds of asian foods and tons of super fresh fruit.

    Everybody who posts in this thread touting chinese buffet has my sympathy. You all need to come and visit me for dinner and you will never, ever eat Chinese buffets or even eat out at a Chinese restaurant ever again.

    Go to Sashimi buffet!

    You know, I hate Golden Corral too.

    I've only been to one buffet I've actually liked, really. I typically dislike them because they're often lower quality-food, unhealthy, and make you wanna eat yourself to death.

    However, there's a Japanese buffet about thirty minutes from where I live and it's amazing. Plus, it's a lot better and healthier than most food you see, period.

    I've never been to Golden Corral...I don't think I ever want to haha. I imagine it's something along the lines of Old Country Buffet?

    I've been to Chinese buffets before...meh. I feel like I never really like the sushi they have there, nor most of their dishes. Like a good asian, I go for the crab legs, oysters, clams, and fish.

    The only buffets I've liked in the past was this amazing family owned Indian buffet where the owner was incredibly nice to us and they brought around all different kinds of naan. Also, I will go to Japanese sushi buffets from time to time where you mark what you want on a sheet and they make it for you (instead of walking around a buffet line where the sushi has been out for god knows how long).

    This is what I was referring to.

    Yeah, no, eating at a buffet is like eating out of a trough. I would rather avoid that.

    I am partial to all-you-can-eat buffets, mostly because I can eat a lot.

    Guys, I have a confession. I attended a wedding dinner at the Golden Corral.

    Follow-up shocker: It was my mother's.

    Buffets are really hit-and-miss in my experience. The food is often really poor quality.

    Also the typical catering buffet you get at weddings or whatever are the WORST. Triangle sandwiches all dry and stale and if you're really lucky a chocolate fountain where the chocolate is like 99% oil or whatever.

    Buffets are awesome. Went fairly often to Chinese ones when I was in uni, it was glorious.
