| - I hit up Eastside for some grub a couple nights in the last month with a buddy who's been living here for awhile. He's a fan and says he gets good deals on the cafe and buffet with the coupons from the club he's in with them.
We went with a coupon for 2 for 1 buffet on seafood night. It was alright, the line took us 30 minutes to get through but the food was on the disappointing side. I like the all you can eat oysters, but they were dried out, not too unexpected at a buffet. There is a pasta bar, but there was one guy making it and it took 20 minutes to get it. The sauce was supposed to be alfredo; a good alfredo sauce should have your heart slowing down and wondering if you're next move should be to the ER, but the sauce was pretty runny and the lack of cream might have actually made it not unhealthy.
We went to the cafe another night, and the steak was pretty comparable to the Longhorn across the street which has 4.99 steak dinner, the one here cost 15.99 (OK, it did come with several fried shrimp). The fixings were standard, broccoli and carrots with mashed potatoes. Dessert was also uninspiring, caramel (again runny) apples with whip cream. If you're on the East side looking for a bite, you'll do alright here, but if you're looking for the deal, it's across the street.
