| - How we ended up in Sam's Town... was far beyond me.
Never heard of the place, and wouldn't you know, we're eating inside! Our host (sister) didn't have their player's card and mentioned to the cashier at Firelight Buffet that they're a member, but, misplaced the darn thing. *Everyone chuckles* Living by the rule book and never skipping a beat - the cashier informed us we'd need a card. We asked if we could just use card from the lady behind us because she graciously offered it during the little issue we faced. "No", was the response from Rule Book Rhonda. She was nice enough to mention we can get in the 'Express' line when we came back with a player's card...
ANYWAYS, we came back with a player's card and I swear to God, we watched a customer... front of the line dead center, ask the person behind them to use their player's card to get inside the buffet cause' they didn't have theirs on them. Wouldn't you know it, it didn't phase Rule Book Brenda transformed into Bending The Rules Rhonda, accepted the card with open arms and let them in.
I have a glare. A glare that forgoes your ability to comprehend what's currently happening with a direct line to your soul. It hits you firmly. You feel as though you have a concussion. My glare crossed paths w/ Rule Book Rhonda. Her skin tone altered from a milky white to an almost translucent fixture. I saw her leave her body, then come back. She immediately informed the 'Express' cashier we were approaching and accordingly let us in and sat us within a minute.
Oh.. the food. Yeah, there was some food here. It's a buffet.
Firelight Buffet has a decent selection for what it is. Considering we showed up during breakfast / brunch, however, the layout made you feel like you were here for lunch / early dinner. The breakfast area was minimal in both food quantity and size. Let's put it like this; if I cloned and had both myself and I standing straight up with my arms out, as if I was in the shape of the letter T.. that's roughly the length the breakfast buffet area was.
Bacon, Breakfast Sausage & Ham. French Toast, Pancakes, Chicken Fried Steak w/ Country Gravy, Croissants, Scrambled Eggs and a thing or two that I probably didn't see. I mean, I can't fuss about this because this is what I want in breakfast.. but I guess when you're spoiled, chubby and cranky in the morning you want to see more food (breakfast).
And that's where they kind of did the buffet deal well - they had a variety of tamales that were fresh and wrapped in that good ol' corn husk - Reminiscent of those had back home. Taquitos were pretty decent, too. Typical buffet going on with under-the-lamp pizza, deep pan of fried chicken, egg rolls, hand-cut turkey and so on. A good mixture for those that want a little of everything.
A decent experience aside from the intro, they filled my tummy and had a mediocre selection that I can't complain about. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back, but if for some reason we do, I wouldn't hesitate.. especially 'cause I now have a players card
