There is also a Southern buffet at this place called The Bread of Heaven. It's ran by a church and is sooo good. There's all kinds of soul food...fried chicken, BBQ chicken, meatloaf, baked mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, rice, meatballs in brown gravy, banana pudding, cobblers...oh my heavens, can you tell I love it there?

Plus, your standard pizza buffets.
Oh lkmax - I want to go to that Southern buffet - it sounds delicious!

Mostly Asian buffets but we have golden corral and Home town buffet restaurant chains. I don't care too much for buffets.

Coastal SC, so tons of seafood buffets. We only eat at one that we found to be very neat and clean. (This area has a dubious health inspection system.) And Golden Corral, which is new to me. Love that place!

I'd kill for a decent Chinese buffet, or any edible Chinese food. This seems to be common complaint among all the northern transplants. If anyone ever opened a good Asian/Chinese restaurant they'd have a goldmine.

Aside from Hometown Buffet and Golden Corral, we have Chinese, Japanese and Indian buffets. There are probably others I'm not aware of.

Kind of like a bread pudding but with sausage in it? I have no idea what that's called, but this place had that too ... it was very strange tasting.

What types of all-you-can-eat buffets does your area feature?

In Vegas, everything...

I have gone to the Chinese all you can eat a few times before.. £12 for students which is a bargain in my eyes!

Other than that, there aren't many buffet style places around
£12 is over $18. Even with a modest tip and tax included, American Chinese lunch buffets rarely exceed $12, if $10.

That depends on the franchisee. Some do offer the pizza buffet for lunch. Many do NOT.

the Chinese Buffet is my favourite! they have Dim Sum, Frogs Legs, Roast Duck, Roast Pork w / crispy skin , pig's feet, fried Tilapias, crabs, fried Smelt fish, Sushi, Korean BBQ , ribs, Teriyaki chicken on a stick, etc

they also have a Japanese Teppanyaki / Mongolian barbecue style grill and you pick the type of meats noodles, etc and they cook it for you.
