| - My dear, darkly demented friend took me here after winning a two-fer whilst cashing her check (apaprently screaming "Food" will get it to land on the buffet) adn so we starved ourselves all morning to prepare for a feast/competion of who could be the fattiest fatty (I won!).
For a Vegatarian there wasn't much to gawk at aside from the giant cold pasta and salad bar in the very center of the room- think they are trying to push the veggies a bit a by having it very accessible to everyone? They have the usual suspects of American (mashed potatoes and fried chicken) Asian (Chow Mein and Orange Chicken) BBQ (self-explanatory) and Italian (Pizza and hot Pasta).
My dishes were mainly composed of potatoes, since they seriously had three different types, a very bland cheesy pasta (it did NOT taste like cheese) vegetable spring rolls w/ sweet and sour sauce, some cheese pizza, some bread, and by far the worst thing ever- salt and pepper fried tofu.
I've had many kinds of fried tofu. I have never had fried tofu that was as bad as this. It was tough. It was dry. It was tasteless. It was sad. We broke open every one of them on my plate, and they were all the same: dead on the inside.
Finally we left behind our two diet Pepsis and ran over to the dessert area where we filled plates full of pastries. The best one had to be the mini eclairs. Though they were a little on the dry side, they were far more palatable than the soggy cannolis, and nasty tiramisu (seriously, it didn't taste anything like tiramisu, or a dessert). They have fruit and cream pies, but they taste pretty much like they are: out of a can.
The best dessert by far is the ice cream. Though, you have to wait for ten minutes for an employee to waddle over and ask if they can give you a scoop since it is protected by glass. Best way to get their attention? Glare at them from the ice cream. They'll stare back as if waiting for you to get annoyed and go back to your seat without it. But no! Not us!
For a cheap meal when you feel like eating a lot, it is an alright place.
