I'm not a big fan of buffets. They aren't bad but they never seem great to me. It's like going to a place that has a little bit of everything and that little bit of everything is 50-70% is good food.
I'd rather pay $25-$50 at a steak restaurant or something in just really in the mood for.
With that being said, carnival buffet is pretty damn awesome.
Chinese was really good.
Seafood was pretty good.
American was pretty good.
Italian was pretty good.
So far, this is my 2nd favorite buffet I've been. But I really don't have a lot of other places to compare it to. But it is what is.
Cons: the wait was horrendous. As usual, the sushi sucks and why do buffets put PHO in their menu? They never seem to get it right.
