why doesnt a good buffet chain exist?
are buffets inherently doomed by the typical trash clientele they serve?

there is absolutely no reason for anyone to go to a buffet.

i have social anxiety, so I don't like dealing with servers... especially if i'm alone.

Most buffets smell bad.
And they're usually full of our fattest, most disgusting savages and foreign savages.

The food is always mediocre.

Our Ryans closed down for a reason.

Never been in to Golden Corral, we didn't get one until I swore off of buffet trash.

Sizzler. The only good part of their buffet is their tacos, and that's because theres no way to fuck that up.

And even in Vegas a good buffet will set you back a hell of a lot more than a trip to Golden Corral.

Nope. Ryan's is the absolute worst.

I went to a military school in the Carolinas and on school trips we would end up here.

Despite having the worst food I've ever had in my life at the chow hall (seriously I have never been so skinnyjacked in my life because of anorexia due to food) I could not bring myself to eat much of anything at Ryan's.

I would end up eating their mac n cheese which would taste like moist chewy crayons until I was just like fuck this. WHY would anyone eat here?

getting slight PTSD. go away Ryan's!

Vegas is the town of excess. Buffet just werks for that kind of atmosphere. Mound mediocre food around a gaudy display and it looks better than it would on its own. Add tiers and individual dishes and it's like a military parade, all glory until the shit gets real.

Ah that sucks man. Nothing better than going to PI for lunch and requesting a pizza for the buffet that you know only youll eat.
