The last one I went to was at our local casino. It was only ten dollars, but I couldn't eat very much.
COVID19 spelled the demise of most buffets in San Diego. A few reconfigured to other types of food service platforms or methods, but some shut down completely. One place has you sit at a table and select dishes from a checkmarked picture menu, then they run plates back and forth.
It‘s been over two years since I last had a true buffet experience.
They’ve long been cost ineffective, in my opinion, but prior to Covid, I went often. I’d eat my fill every time.
