Buffets have been in big trouble around here ever since I went on my diet.

So many people are absolute slobs, disgustingly so, it is a wonder anyone actually eats at buffets and salad bars.
That characterization applies to the patrons and the workers. |

Wife and I went to a Sweet Tomatoes in Dallas(closed about 5 years ago), then Souplantation in San Diego last year. Didnt know they were related, other than both suck. Souplantation's deal of standing in line at the salad bar until a table is ready is beyond stupid.
Shitty business model. Sucks that so many are out of jobs, but good riddance to the company |

My experiences are obviously different than yours but I'm talking 1982-83. That's a lot of water under the bridge. Had I been made to wait for seating I wouldn't have gone back. |

Had I been made to wait for seating I wouldn't have gone back. yeah, I'm sure things change in 35 years. We live about 2 miles from the one we went to, at 805 and Palm. We were hoping it'd be similar to Jason's deli. The salad bar was well stocked and varied, but hard to get past the standing there with a tray with plate of salad on it, cafeteria style, for 10-15 minutes waiting for a table. |

Haven't done a lot of buffets recently. Sizzler some. It's not real good for me, I tend to make less than good choices. Several around here used to hold lines at the entrance until there were seats available. I enjoyed Souplantation now and then and especially the hot items, soups, pastas, etc. I think the cafeteria style where one is served may allow for the buffets sort of to continue but self serve may be out of the question for a while.
