Best buffet I ever had the pleasure of ransacking was at the Breakers in Palm Beach. Their Sunday brunch was ridiculous - went there once for the wife's b-day. Caviar, lobster, stone crab, sushi, and the usual lamb, beef, fish, omelettes...and like 30 desserts. All you could drink bloodies, champagne, mimosas and wine. $200 per person! That's more than what my first car cost me.

I’ve visited some expensive buffets but never one that was $200 per person. I would probably hurt myself trying to eat my money worth

When my son graduated High School I told him we'd go anywhere he wanted. I figured he'd pick some place expensive. He picked Golden Corral. I assured him that anywhere else was fine but he felt like everybody could just get what they wanted there. We were sitting there and my dad just starts grinning and trying not to laugh. I said what and he could t even say anything so I turned to see what was so funny. There was a younger kid at the chocolate fountain. He'd put his marshmallow under the fountain take a bite put it back in the fountain. Then when he was out of marshmallows he just used his finger. This went on for several minutes till the kid got board or full. That singular event started my dislike of buffets.

Ryan’s Buffet in Dothan was great. Our stopping spot. Gone but not forgotten. Looked at it on the way this last trip. It looks like some kind of a BBQ place now.

We don't have American buffets anymore. We have China buffets. They're pretty good though.

Buffets never survive in Gainesville except for the Chinese ones. Whenever one would open the college kids would hit it once a day and clean the place out. I heard they lost money due to college kids and football players. Students would sneak in containers and baggies and load up as much as possible.
All the buffets just gave up. We had a Sweden house at one time that was pretty good back in the 70s. I liked buffets when I was younger. not so much as i got older.

Half of my family got food poisoning from the buffet in Islamorada the week before I went to boot camp in Chicago. Bad oysters. Not a great way to spend your last few days of freedom and long hair! Man, that was miserable! We still fished though. I hear it's still there as a restaurant now, not a buffet.

There is an Indian lunch buffet a mile or so from our house. Probably the only buffet I've been to since the beginning of covid.

Hasn't been a Ryan's here in....20ish years now. It was international buffet after Ryan's. Then a kids clothing shop. Not sure what it is now. I avoid that side of town like the plague. But if it's BBQ I'm sure the wife piece will find out and we will have to go Edit: just looked. It's a PNC bank now
