CTM Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Haven't been to one in 20 years before tonight and after will never go back. Seems to bring out the worst in people , between the gluttony and gross over consumption... To the waste... To the anonymity it affords to be cheap to your waitress (people to the left snuck out with no tip... People to the right left 80 cents) ... I'm convinced it's evil and the foods cheap and nasty too, even on lobster night which lured me in.. Across from me sits the female crusher whose on lobster #6 now...

Integrity28 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Totally agree with you bro. Worst buffet experience I ever had, I went to a Chinese buffet in Savannah, GA... they had snow crab legs so it was like $18 per person. Table next to us had about 11 people eating their faces off, and then refused to pay for more than one person. They got all crazy up in the faces of the little old Chinese people that owned the place... because you know, its really gangsta to steal food at a buffet... Cops ended up coming... half the people left... it was a nightmare and all I could picture was this happening to this old Chinese couple nightly. Losing their a$$, because the Walmart gangsta criminal generation of our country things doing stupid things like that makes them "hard". I ended up leaving an extra $30 on top of our meal and tip, just to be generous. Its all I had on me... and I didn't see it as me paying for the scumbags to eat, so much as me paying towards the old couple's rent. But yeah, buffets do bring out the worst in people... but I will say, most people don't need to much incentive to have the worst come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theyre basically big crawdads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theyre basically big crawdads. Yeah, there isn't much meat at all... when I'm in Maine I usually get two 1.5 pounders... soft-shell... super sweet and tender meat... I don't buy the big ones, the meat is tougher. Wash 'em down with littlenecks on the grill, ice cold beer... and Long Island sweet corn. MMMMMMmmmmmmmm....

It doesnt get any better than Lobsta, clams, corn and beer. Theres a place called "Browns" in Salisbury, Mass just south of Hampton Beach, NH. Best seafood in NE IMO.

I usually have my parents bring up a ton, they still live there. I live in Boston. We have a lake house in Maine. As for Browns... I've heard of it, but haven't checked it out yet. If I head up that far, I usually just complete the trip and go all the way up to Maine. Will put it on the list of places to try out though, for sure.

RutgersJetFan Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Restaurants bring out the worst in people period. The sense of entitlement that some people walk around with because they're dropping a couple bucks inside of one is insane. In all my years of working in them, I have seen people completely throw their integrity straight down the crapper for something so simple as a free scoop of ice cream, or a free piece or two of calamari. A few months ago in mine, we had a woman who was with a party of 15 or so people. She got completely drunk, tried stealing a stack of about 15 linen napkins and a stack of silverware, then deny she had any of the wine, THEN throw a fit when our manager busted her for stealing the stuff, which she eventually admitted to. The other people at the table were mortified. To make things worse, she wound up calling my manager's boss and complaining, lying about the incident, and getting coupons as an apology. The bitch still comes in a couple times a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Island used to be all farmland and fishermen, they grow the best corn I've ever had down there. Now most of the Island is overrun with paycheck-to-paycheck living pseudo "rich people" that have ZERO interest in the heritage and history of the island, they just live there so they can say they live there. Meh... makes me sick. The lake house is right in the Sebago Lake region. Been vacationing up there for over 20 years... its my favorite place on Earth tbh. Don't even want to imagine what my life would be like without the lake every summer. And seafood places shouldn't be fancy... that is why Legal Seafoods = ZZzZzzzzzzz...

Really don't get it, cause the women was working more tables then a typical waitress would.. and was bussing the stacks of dirties away by her self as well. Again though, I think it's a lot easier to stiff the waitress when you can sneak away without them seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the floor of the NYSE is pure unadulterated capitalism, the floor of a buffet is pure unadulterated gluttony.. I counted atleast 5 people that seemed to be in physical pain on there way back for more food, holding their stomachs, sweating.. it was crazy and the food combinations were hilarity.. 1 plater, 2 slices of cafetria grade pepperoni pizza + a lobster.. bad pep pizza and lobster?

Anotehr had fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, with a lobster Yeah, I finally gave in to the wife and kids and went to a chinese buffet two weeks ago. The couple next to our table was absolutely enormous. And the waitstaff was thin, even skinny--each of them. I think its a money over sense issue. I've paid for all-i-can eat so I'm gonna eat all I can. Whereas the waitstaff likely ate what they liked and stopped when they were full. I'm always a bit embarassed to return to a buffet more than once or twice--even at a wedding--but some just keep going. It gets a little gross after a while. My rules when it comes to dining out are generally: pick a type of restaurant, nice location, quiet atmosphere and never eat on the sidewalk where people can walk past gawking at you and cars can blow exhaust onto your plate while pigeons eat your scraps off the sidewalk.

I was there for a summer building apartments near Baylor college. Unbelievable, people were grabbing whole pizzas, metal plate and all and bringing them back to their tables. If you werent near where they brought out the pizzas, you werent getting anything but crumbs or a slice of stray peperoni. They were like Piranha. Then, suddenly, it was over and people left. At every table there were huge plates of pizza crust. It looked like locusts had come through that place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
