| - I will readily admit that I'm not normally a "buffet" person. I tend to feel it's a lot of sub-good food and I don't generally feel terribly awesome after eating at one.
Went to Bacchanal for dinner with family who were down on vacation and really wanted to go, and everyone had a pretty darn good time.
Pros:
- Almost everything was at least good, and a few items were downright great. Namely: The onion rings; crispy, hot, salty, and a little bit spicy, the fried chicken, which was damn near perfect, the peach brisket, the meat and cheese section, and several of the deserts.
- The desert variety is diabetes provoking. I got one of everything, since they are only one or two bites, and was just a horrible person that lets children starve in africa, and didn't eat more than one bite of anything I didn't LOVE.
- Did I mention the cured meat and cheese section? that was awesome.
- I did not feel awful after eating here. I did have a "wow I haven't eaten that much sugar since I was 9 at halloween" buzz going, but that was my own damn fault.
Cons:
- Price. Ooof. Not sure that was worth it, but it was definitely part attraction and fun for the family. Wouldn't go with just the two of us on a weeknight or anything.
- Dat LINE. Holy COW that was a long wait for what the buffet ended up being. We were in line almost as long as we ate.
Overall: Too spendy for frequent returns, not fabulous enough to come back as a "special occasion" dinner. Will probably return with out of town family/friends who want to do the buffet-as-tourist-attraction.
