| - I was born and raised a buffet fiend. I've been to a ridiculous amount of buffets throughout my almost three decades of life...Studio B is my absolute favorite of all time.
I've been to Studio B more than ten times and I swear, it never gets old for me. Here's the thing though...I've never paid full price here (because price tends to take on a big role in distorting my opinion and discourages my generous star ratings). Call me cheap, heck, I'll call MYSELF cheap, but I ain't paying over $25 for a buffet...that's a hard limit for me. So, we go when and ONLY when we have our handy dandy BOGO deals that the Rewards Card people send out.
Ok, so we've established price is not my favorite thing about this place, let's just get the other unpleasantry out of the way...the amazingly ridiculous line that you often have to wait in. Waiting in line to eat has to be one of the most miserable things EVER so, that being said, try to prepare yourself (we've waited for at least an hour and a half on one occassion).
I've been for breakfast once, but I'm not a breakfast person and enjoy the lunch and dinner buffets quite a bit more, so this review is sort of geared more toward those two. For starters, the place is big, bright, beautiful and pretty modern-looking. It never looks dirty even though it's constantly crowded. Also, the servers here are some of the NICEST and fastest people I've come across in the big booming buffet industry.
Now, to the food...I always start with their sushi-type rolls, Hawaiian poke and the lomi lomi (salmon) -- this fills my plate. My second plate is MORE lomi lomi and all the Asian food I can pile onto my plate. If there are crab legs, those are next. I also appreciate the Mediterranean, Mexican, Seafood and soul food.
After I've decided I can't stuff anymore lomi lomi mixed with other foods into my belly, I head over to the dessert section and go straight to the tiramisu. I grab a few cookies, crepes if they're making them, mini souffle, gelato (to wash down the souffle), and a fresh to order cappuccino.
While all of this strategic eating is taking place, I'm also usually helping myself to the complimentary (well, included...) beer and wine. I like the M Cider too :) Yum. Gosh, I'm so hungry right now...
