    I haven't been to an all you can eat in 20 years (RIP Sizzler).

    The overindulgence, overconsumption and lack of self control by the typical restaurant goer makes for a horrible experience.

    YMMV.

          There's quite a few that are, I'm not sure about that one but I went to one in newy for about $35. Head and you could just feast up on thin slices of meat. Had a great time.

          • elvines on 05/08/2023 - 11:32

            @lancesta: Do you remember which one did you go? discovery is $58 pp 😱

              @elvines: I wasn't able to find it, was a good while ago. Either I remembered the price wrong, or they've gone out of business (maybe they were too cheap lol).

              @billadm: To be fair, majority of "All you can eat" buffets have time restrictions between 60-120mins to ensure turnover at the restaurant, same with penalty's for food wastage at the end. The Penalty is simply there encase someone grabs like 5 plates and only finishes 2…

                      New Quay International Buffet Asian, seafood, Western 2 hours AUD$45.90 for adults

                    Sleep overnight and just start eating the next day, then I can just bring a laptop in for remote work and just live there lol.

                @Harrpie: To be fair 120 mins is a long ass time. I normally have 20 mins for lunch and I can probably devour 4 burgers in that time. Sitting there slowly cooking the meat probably 90mins is good enough for me to eat 1.5kg of meat.

      It'll be per person. I think this is totally reasonable though. Just make more trips to the buffet. It also allows for some of a dish to be left if you really don't like the flavour.

    Well that's not to say you cannot get unlimited Korean food on the hot pot but no where near $25.

    So this can be booked for 1 person? You say there is a wastage fee. What if we genuinely don't like an item? There will be trial an error until we find the items we enjoy.

      Hi there, don't worry too much about wastage fees. They're there to deter people from just going beserk, not there to penalise people who don't like a particular dish. We've had more than 2000 customers on our AYCE now and essentially only applied the rule once when there were 4 boxes pretty much untouched left (and that after the server warned to try one or two serves first and can reorder later). If you don't like a dish and don't finish it, we're certainly not going to be charging you. I think the thousands of ozbargainers who've come will vouch for us being reasonable and kind people! :)

      • unity1 on 05/08/2023 - 09:42

        Sounds good. I'm fairly local to your cafe and would be interested in coming to try it one day. Are there items on the menu which would be suitable with someone who has a severe egg and nut allergy?
