I miss Pancho's!! I used to love lifting the flag, and the song they used to play on your Birthday! lol.

Your Furr's is NOT all you can eat? We have at least 3 here, and they are all, "all-you-can-eat."

We have A LOT of all you can eat buffets. I would definitely NOT call Applebee's, Chili's etc. "all-you-can-eat."

The "all-you-can-eat" places we have are: a few Chinese buffets, Furr's, a few Mexican buffets, Golden Corral, Cici's Pizza. That's all i can think of at the moment.
