Default All you can eat buffets?

Have you ever been to one? What do you think of them?

I have a love hate relationship with them. I loved them when they first started opening up about 10 -15 years ago,. That turned to hate cuz, lets face it, its not the best quality food.

You have to be tactical though. Avoid all the complex carbs, and go straight for the meats.

I’ve only been a few times and I get full quickly but if you go to a quality restaurant they still are worth going to.

Never been to one because it would be pointless for me as even if i'm starving i just can't eat large amounts of food .

I've only ever been to Chinese ones over in Spain, they were handy when the kids were younger because they could just pick bits and pieces. I don't think I ever even came across all you can eat places here in Ireland, not saying they don't exist but I don't know any
