So Jon & I were on a long walk around the block once (feel the irony), and I thought it would be fun to see how much Old Country Buffet costs to dine in (since it is, sincerely, one block from our house.. and the parking lot is ALWAYS full..). Hearing it was $11/pp.. no way in hell were we going to risk it. Our lovely Q is a much safer bet.
Well, a few weeks ago, they sent us a coupon. You know me & coupons. I decided for the both of us, we have to do it.
We did it. Saturday. The line was up to the door (long hallway), plus we waited for seating (sure only 5 min), but holy CRAP do people like this place.
The bad things were too numerous to list.. so I'll list the most interesting:
the baked fish.. it was a little cold, but they tried.
they had cranberry sauce on their condiment bar. that, is fun.
3 bean salad !!
marinated mushrooms
bananas in the pudding (i took the bananas out of the pudding)
their dessert pizza was a big cookie. it was cute.
the cake was all bad. seriously. all. bad. i love cake, so this was a little disappointing. also disappointing. any form of vanilla ice cream was broken. boo. i had a weird looking orange sherbet because i could.
yes, i tried pretty much everything on the buffet (one spoonfull counts) minus the cheeseyfilledfriedchickencoveredw.bacon. oh yeah, also didn't try the world's largest ribs or the mini corn dogs (jon's report on the corn dogs is that they weren't as good as full size). jon liked the pumpkin pie.. and was smart enough to put gummy bears in his ice cream (he got chocolate).
now we are officially done with OCB. it only makes me crave Q even more =)
