Although it was $16.95 reasonable price I felt the food quality wasn't good. I would prefer to just order food items from their menu instead. They do offer great prices for their menu items though. Amazing thing also is it's crowded and packed!Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06608213821059587186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524766856706642380.post-79422754298425286452010-06-10T17:40:18.509-07:002010-06-10T17:40:18.509-07:00just when i thought i would never be able to eat e...just when i thought i would never be able to eat enough to justify spending that much money... crab legs appeared! i would go straight for those and then eat my weight in dessert. i think i would prefer to have buffet for dinner though... then i can roll myself home to bed. ;)trishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09176469834353667484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524766856706642380.post-52160532627425716752010-06-10T12:04:32.449-07:002010-06-10T12:04:32.449-07:00A good time to actually go for the Griffin's B...A good time to actually go for the Griffin's Buffer is for their Mother's Day special brunch. I think it's a bit more then, but I've been before and they have a lot of specialty items. They've also done the same for Valentines Day. I know those have already passed this year, but maybe they also have a decent Father's Day Brunch?Victoriahttp://victoriasfoodsecrets.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524766856706642380.post-102601319160483612010-06-10T08:45:14.101-07:002010-06-10T08:45:14.101-07:00Predictably, the fish were overcooked...

I do not recommend any of the local buffets here other than the Asian ones. If you really must do a buffet, there is Cheers in North Vancouver that does a regular type AYCE line on weekends. There is Balkan House that does a Eastern European buffet on Sundays. Don't go to Grand Buffet... If you check some hotels/golf courses, you might find a buffet for dinner here and there also.<br /><br />But if you really want to do a buffet right, as Kim says, no one does it like the Americans... Old Country Buffet, Royal Fork. Or at the Tulalip Casino.<br /><br />Kim, I made an error, it's actually $50 at the Pan Pacific. But it's still crazy...Sherman Chanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07658949865479421864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524766856706642380.post-89082925133549821932010-06-10T06:22:16.683-07:002010-06-10T06:22:16.683-07:00I wonder if he has any Chinese in him really...
M...<em> I wonder if he has any Chinese in him really...</em><br /><br />Man, never ask a question you might not want to hear the answer! :P<br /><br />Considering that it is (was?) $29 for regular lunch, I guess having some extras is worth the additional $10, not to mention the items didn't go sideways. Now, $60? No way. Feel free to call me cheap but, hey, I am sure you can have a really good dinner (rather than brunch) at that price per person...KimHohttp://imonlyhereforthefood.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524766856706642380.post-3596468470832899782010-06-10T01:15:14.548-07:002010-06-10T01:15:14.548-07:00Are there even cheaper buffets that don't go i...Are there even cheaper buffets that don't go into the deep end of Denny's/Uncle Willy's-type? There used to be some Asian buffets (not hot pot or sushi) that were like these with different stations, but I don't see many of them anymore. Any recommendations?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
