Can I get an AMEN?!?! The only thing I don't like about Hoss's is when you go to the ones in the country, and they have photos of the steers that are "featured" that week. 
I like the Chinese etc buffets or other ethnic buffets, so I can try things and see if I "might" like them. I also realize that many of the foods I might like might taste awfully different in a "real" restaurant.
But, I'm totally against children at a salad bar or buffet unless they're with an adult. On that line:
The Weirdest Wedding Reception My Parents Attended:
Suffice it to say that it was a buffet meal, attractively set up. The bride's uncle, dressed in one of those t-shirts that look like a tux only with glitter, pulled a chair up to the buffet, and ate directly out of the various containers!! Needless to say, my parents immediately decided that they really didn't need to hang around.

My camp took us on a fieldtrip one day back when I was 11. We stopped at the Golden Corral for lunch. Later that day, the counselors got to deal with 30 campers who were throwing up and had diarreah. My stomach was in knots for days after eating there.

Unless, of course, one doesn't like Indian food (like me).

Ugh! Buffets!
I went to a Pizza Hut a while ago and ate in the restaurant where they have a pizza buffet/ salad buffet in the middle. My waiter COULD NOT STAY AWAY from the buffet! He kept double dipping carrot sticks in the dressings and licking his fingers and ugh! So disgusting! We even said something to the manager and then my waiter was still eating right off the buffet later. We could not believe it!  At least get a plate if you're hungry... yuck. He definetly only got a penny for a tip.

Come to think of it, all the buffet restaurants here are popular and the wait's long. I wonder why?

Cause people like us keep eating? I'm pretty sure that if we didn't cut Mike off, we'd still be eating crab legs.
This thread is gonna make me go to Todai's this weekend.

The only two types of buffets I've been to lately are lunch buffets at Indian restaurants, and a Sunday brunch buffet at a nice local restaurant. I need to find a good Indian restaurant with a lunch buffet within walking distance of my office; there are a couple of places within taxi distance, but by the time you cab it out there, eat, and cab it back, a couple of hours have gone by, and I don't have that kind of time. (And just try to hail a taxi in NYC when it's raining!)
 @ the kid sticking his hands repeatedly into the mashed potatoes and the adults eating directly from the buffet. At the Sunday brunch place I go to, there are usually lots of kids of various ages, from babies on up, but their parents generally take them by the hand to the buffet and make them use the provided utensils to take food and put it on their plates.

I prefer to be served than going in line at a buffet. Besides, I never finish my food, and have the rest of my meal to go so I can eat it later. If I do go to a buffet, it's usually a nice chinese restaurant. But after reading some of your stories *shudder*..I'm gonna think twice before I agree to go to one. lol.

there's an Indian Taj on Bleecker St. down by nyu. any connection? prolly not, since indian taj sounds pretty common for mass produced indian food.
but come on - $7 for lunch buffet = sweetness!
p.s. the ponderosa shut down where i live. man, makes me sad.

Not a clue. The Indian Taj in Queens is also like $7 for lunch and the food is great. New York Magazine wrote about it several years in a row in their Cheap Eats issue.
