Like anything else, there are good ones and bad ones. We go to the
buffets at the casinos here in Shreveport because we get coupons for
"buy one, get one" or just half price. One of the casinos has really
excellent prime rib... another has a good seafood buffet. That said, we
usually go only once a month or so and it usually costs us about $15 total.

As for sushi, there is a restaurant in Houston that has excellent sushi
on their buffet.... made fresh right in front of you.

of competition in Houston. To me, it is a great value and I wish we had
a trip to Houston planned for this Spring but we don't.
