I liked Ponderosa....when I was 9.

IIRC, the Weber Grill appetizers were decent but the meals were bland. (Especially the one on Butterfield)

Salad Bar at Sizzler wasn't bad.

The whip marks on the steak were distracting to look at while you cut the meat though.

That's why you order the Malibu Chicken.

Considering I have 15 kids I should love buffets but I hate them. I can't recall one that I've liked since I've been an adult.

I enjoyed the Weber Geill

Which one did you go to Head?

Suburbs?

Lombard off of Butterfield. We'll never go back.

Avoid Redstone too.

Really? I have only been to this one once but I go to the Redstone in Eden Prairie, MN frequently & it is always good.

Have you ever been to Vegas? The Rio & MGM buffets are outstanding.

Yes. Never tried them.

If you've been to Vegas, surely you have been to at least one of the buffets at a major Hotel/Casino, right?

I thought that place was pretty good. BBQ meatloaf was enjoyable, good service, cold beer...

I laughed it off but since they use Collective Soul as the music for the commercial, it must be great... :lol:

I had the seafood buffet at The Rio. It was pretty good. Well worth the $38.

I'm not terribly familiar with the North Shore dining scene. I'm looking for a nice intimate place to take Dr. Ken's divorced neighbor lady for some authentic Pho. Any recs?
